say it already with simone olivia

i'm talking about: you should be the happiest you've ever been because of the life you created yet there's still something that's missing. I'm talking about: people always mention how nice your life looks yet you don't resonate with it. I'm talking about: feeling extremely grateful for what you have yet feeling like there's more out there for you. if any of this makes you feel less alone, then I've done my part. Being an open book and sharing what I'm going through isn't an easy task. it's not something I take lightly and I appreciate you for sharing the space with me as I go on this journey. in it together !!!!!! ty for listening, simone olivia tiktok mentioned in this episode: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT23jQ8Qm/

spring, summer, april, june, idc what season or month it is, i'm referring to the sun being up in the sky, beaming, making it HOT !!!! i am so excited to hit the pool and beach on a regular basis again wow like the winter really had me dizzy for a moment there. for me this weekend consisted of a back to back beach sesh paired with 15 spf tanning oil, @sandcloud 's sand proof towels, ice cold water and a good book so i couldn't be HAPPIER. in this episode i talk all about it and the joy that high UV rays bring me :)) the winter fuglies are OUT and the summer sexies are IN. thank you for listening as alwaysssss xoxoox simone olivia <3333

oh it's me again just contemplating life and thinking per usuallllll. the dust is finally settling with my work transitions and i'm falling into a routing with my 9-5 (which isn't really a 9-5). i've been thinking about what i want to pour my time and energy into and by the end of this episode i think things are more clear. i shook off the sunday scaries and im coming to you live from the other side <3 thank u for listening as alwaysssss BYE

the difference between copying someone's swag and being inspired them is such a fine line. being a trendsetter myself im more keen to the ways this can look and i figured i would record an episode while i navigate those thoughts. i love being inspired by people everyday and being able to express myself in ways i didnt even think possible because of it. conversely to that i love being an inspiration for people so they can do the same. unfortunetly sometimes there are instances when people rather copy and paste almost exactly and in my opinion thats just no way to live... it can also be super annoying for the person being copied SOOOOOO i talk about it in this episode. thanks for listening as alwayssss simone olivia xoxoooo

well will you look at that... my first guest appearance is my big sis :) now you get real deal authentic big sister advice from my very own. we recorded this episode almost two years ago and i'm bringing it out of the wood works 1. because it's a hidden gem and 2. because i currently don't have access to my podcast equipment UGH. i know you'll enjoy this episode so thank you for giving it a listen. without further ado, Athena Gonzalez everyone !!!!!!!!

being single is one thing but young, hot & single? it's a whole other life to live i'll tell you that much. we're technically alllll young and hot in our own way so i'm fairly certain we can all relate to what's being said in this ep. listen, valentine's day just passed which also marks the start of year 3 of Say It Already podcast and the vibes r good no matter WHAT, we make the vibes !!! thanks for tuning in and thanks for sticking around this long love YOUS

this is an archival episode from a time when i was sick and couldn't just sit still !!! so i had to record a pod. honestly, i may have released this one already and named it something different but i cant find what it wouldve been called if i did SO HERE I AM acting like its brand new (it still might be im just not sure). i rant about what a "glo up" is and what it means to me. we all have insecurities and want to upgrade ourselves in diff ways and i get itttt im the same way hehhhe so thank u for listening xxooo simone olivia

i really wanted to talk about a topic that has been on my mind for so long now !!! ever since i was a kid honesty!! i've been so tempted to play it small in my life unfortunately :/ i feel like when you're a bubbly person with charisma and character and energy and ur positive, a lot of people want to shut you down or tear u apart just as much as there will be people that'll support you. in this episode i walk you through my mental process over the years deciding whether i want to continue taking up space of play it small. THANKS FOR LISTENING !!!!!@sayitalreadypodcast on instagram@sayitalreadypodcast on pinterest@sayitalreadypodcast on tiktok@sayitalreadypodcast on youtube

you know what's crazy? forcing something to happen that is going to happen, when it's time but you're like no, no, no, no it needs to happen now!!! oooooo is this a habit of mine that im trying to shake :// instant gratification is the illusion of the century and im someone who falls victim to yearning for it but the truth is... good things take TIME. ya gotta be patient you know? i know but it's hard for me to admit SO in this episode i talk about i try to remember that things will happen, in due time !!! :))) thank you for listening as always HUGSSSSS simone olivia

change is scary, change is real. change is the only constant thing. there's no such thing as complete comfort and zero disruption or a life full of sameness i feel. change is inevitable whether you like it or not. MOST IMPORTANTLY i've realized change doesn't need to feel good to be good. i talk all about it in this episode with a minor crash out at the end :) my apologies in advance (take a shot every time I say "change" ). thank you for listening, as always xx simone olivia

scrolling through pinterest and thinking... why am i not re-creating the things i always say i want to? the last thing that i want is to be old and wrinkled and thinking i shoulda done this, i coulda done this, woulda done that. in this episode i talk about regrets and how i dont want any. of course, I know that sometimes it's inevitable, but if I can enjoy the present and have fun while I create my future, then sign me up. And while you're at it, listen up, thanks for tuning in as always !! oox simone olivia

hopefully I've done a good job of convincing you to compliment someone after this episode… maybe, if you dare, if you so choose. I really do appreciate you listening and taking the time to hear me out on this because the powerful impact of a compliment can move mountains and it can even save someone's life. sometimes it's a little thing to you and a big thing to someone else. dont forget!!! okayy love youu!!! bye!!!

hello, hi, it has been quite a while since we chatted and honestly i forgot what it is like… so if you missed me just know i miss you back. podcasting at the end of the day is like my therapy so please know that i don’t take time off lightly!!! at all!!! but i have been working on some things and this is all a part of the process. in this episode i breakdown a quote i came across recently and i share my thoughts on it. it's a good reminder for everyone soooo please listen up, thank you per usual and i love you ok byeee.

not sure what's in the air... maybe it's mercury in retrograde or maybe it's maybelline but the past came back around for seconds and in this episode i talk about how i feel about it !! i think the past is for learning. u live and u learn right? u find out what u like and what u don't and u go from there... anyway thank u for listening to me think this one thru xx simone olivia

"I'M WORKING LATEEEE CAUSE I'M QUICKLY BECOMING AN ADULT AND NEED TO MAKE MONEY SO I CAN LIVE LAUGH LOVE" or whatever Sabrina Carpenter said lol. listen it's been a while since I popped in to say hello and for that... i am sorry. life has been lifeing which means i have barely been able to catch up with myself... like i just turned 24??? how is this possible?? i was 18 yesterday... it's just not adding up. In this episode, i go on and on about my career moves and give some professional advice that you may or may not want to take... totally up to you. okay listen if you dare. THANK YOU xx simone olivia

is this an asmr podcast episode? short answer is no howeverr i do shake the ice in my cup a few times so you might as well stay to listen about how you can create your own vibe, be your own person, figure out who you are and then just do whatever the bleep you want while you're here :) do i like country music? can i wear my curly hair out in public without feeling like a mop? the world may never know... if i never give myself a chance to find out sooooooo listen to me talk about it maybe? no? ok ok... THANK U FOR READING THIS AT LEAST OK BYE xx simone olivia

who am i?? that's a loaded question for sureee but im realizing that im also just a grown up version of "kid" me. i have to own her and start being a little more confident but you know what? its hard to face reality, to ask hard questions, to be honest with yourself... allllll of the things... discussed in this episode when my train of thought (TOT) goes off the rails GRACIAS FOR TUNING IT xx simone olivia OH OH my pinterest, here it is https://pin.it/7CvjAtD6c k bye

the big question that everyone asks after you did the thing you said you were gonna do... "what's next?" it's irritating even when i type it, i mean why do people still ask it anyway? as if there's a right answer like news flash !! there's not. to be completely honest with you i don't even have an answer for that question... and i'm realizing that's okay. it's okay to feel weird post-grad, it's okay to not have it figured out and it's okay to just BE right now. you see i got a couple rules i'm living by to help me deal with all this so i decided to hit record and share with you ;) thanks for tuning in xx simone olivia

sooo i owe you a nice happy episode since the last few were a litttttle on the gloomy side. things have been crazy while in retrograde and with the end of the semester so CUT ME SOME SLACK !!! here is a lovely, fun, cool, awesome, episode where i go on and on about good days and how to have them :) enjoy listening and thank you for tuning in !! as always, simone olivia

is it really that simple? for some people, yeah, i think it is that simple. saying no is a privilege and if you have the opportunity and it will benefit your mental health in doing so, then maybe you should start saying no more... this is what i'm realizing as time goes on. life is already so complicated and busy as it is, we should start prioritizing ourselves more and doing more of the things that make us happy. sometimes this looks like saying no and if that's difficult for you to do because you are a people pleaser or you really want to make others happy then you must listen to this episode. i hope you enjoy, thank you so much !!!!! simone olivia

sometimes you have a bad day or a bad week or things just don't go as planned and then what? in this episode i talk about what i do and how i feel about bad days. there's a method to my madness and i go on and on all about it so thank u for tuning in as always xo simone olivia

SPRANGGG BREAAAAK (iykyk) !!!!!!!! I just got back from vacation and I have so much to say ! it's so weird saying that I took a vacation because it's so unlike me to take a break. i usually work work work and do a million things but this week i did absolutely NOTHING :) it was great and weird and cool and rough and wild and all the things. my major takeaways (because i'm an over thinker) are the following: 1. breaking routine puts so much into perspective 2. social media is fake 3. doing nothing gets boring thank you for listening ! i love you ! talk to you latersss

GUYS GUYS it's my favorite topic !! we're talking about friendships and lack there of :) i am actually at a baseball game right now with some of my best friends writing this so honestly it couldn't be more fitting. i've learned to be selective about the people I let into my life and in this episode I talk about the reasons why

listen, i'm always going to keep things interesting around here. that's it. that's the episode description (this is me switching things up). thank u for tuning in. love ya DISCLAIMER: https://www.sayitalreadypodcast.com/about/

dating apps or taking naps? lover girl or single forever? let's talk about it for realskies because during this month of love I can't stop thinking about it. i'm starting to figure out what I like, who I am, what I want and when I want it. basically all the things that single brings (woah that rhymed) thank u for listening as always love youuuu xo simone olivia

i know, i know... it's easier said than done. usually around this time of year i get so in my head about what the last 365 days looked like for me and if i did enough. i'm always on go so in those moments of stillness i don't know how to act. i truly want 2024 to be different. im tired of focusing on all the hard work i put in and instead, i want to shift that focus onto how much im able to step away and unwind. 2024 i want to find the time to do nothing and just breathe, to be where my feet are 🧘🏼‍♀️ thank u for tuning in on this months episode and thank you all for ONE YEAR of Say It Already Podcast

"Work, work, work, work, work" or whatever Rihanna said. Listen there's nothing cut and dry about finding your way in the professional world. There are challenges and growing pains. I know this first hand as I've been working for almost a decade now. It's a crazy thing to realize but I wanted to share with all of you my major takeaways and some advice I would give my younger self. Thank you all for listening!!! xxo, Simone Olivia :)

I am VERY in the era of being a student and VERY interested in learning and listening. I have come to terms with the fact that I don't know it all... I don't even know a little bit in comparison to what I will know in years to come. I am very porous to information, advice, guidance, insight, and all the wonderful things. With that being said, in this episode, I talk about what "figuring life out" means to me at this stage of my life. Thank you for listening and hearing me out, Simone Olivia xo

Let me be honest with you. For an extroverted/social butterfly/get-along-with-everyone-type person, you would THINK I have the making friends thing down to a science right? WRONG! I have so much to learn about being a true friend. I spent my teenage years relying on my sisters for companionship but there comes a time when the bird has to leave the nest. In my 20's I'm making more of an effort to get out there, be honest, be vulnerable, and invest in relationships while also being smart and giving myself time to recharge my social battery. It's all a work in progress and I'm bringing you along with me so thank you for listening as always xo Simone Olivia

On this fun episode I will be screaming on the top of my lungs for as long as possible... no I'm just kidding. I recently moved earlier this month and with that came allllll the feels associated with relocating. I decided to talk about leaving my hometown in this episode and what making that decision has done for me. Get ready to hear about how I manage to get my meals in, pick the best roommates, network within my community and add furry friends to the equation. Thank you so so much for tuning in, it's 5AM and I can't decide if I want to sleep or start my day LOL goodnight/good morning, peace out xo Simone Olivia

Hello party people :) how are you? how are you doing? I missed getting on this microphone and talking to all of you. I have so much to say!!!! I have been living in my head for the past 23 years and it's been a journey. Life is full of ebbs and flows which means we have to roll with the punches and be able to manage our moods in the good times and the bad. Expressing gratitude, creating healthy habits and investing in yourself is key. At least, that's my working theory. Hear all about it by pressing play hehe thank you for listening as always xoxo simone olivia

School can be stressful and I am not looking forward to the summer ending, however, we have to get over these school scaries... or at least I do. I figured out some of the best strategies for having a more successful school year and I'm sharing my thoughts with you on the episode. Enjoy my people and learn from my mistakes :) Thank you for listening as always, Simone Olivia

The question of life right? What is my purpose? Why am I here? What was I born to do? In this podcast episode I most definitely DO NOT answer these questions but hopefully I inspire you to go out and discover the answers for yourself. We are all unique beings and have different life paths; so long as we are active participants in our lives, we can only hope to reach a satisfactory level of fulfillment. Good luck on your journey and please wish me luck on mine!! Thank you for listening as always xo

Take it from me, this stuff isn't easy and by "stuff" I mean life. There is no rulebook or right answers. It's a learning process and unique to each individual. I make so many mistakes but that's what makes me human. I learn to deal with the cards I was dealt and always hide an ace under the table. Thank you all for listening!!!

On my birthday, June 27th, I've decided to share with the world some of the things I've learned over the last 23 years. The do's and don't's that I live by to keep me going in the right direction. What might work for me, may not work for others and that's okay!! Listen up, enjoy the ride and be a good human

I am not who I was a year ago, 6 months ago, yesterday or even when I started writing this redundant episode description lol. I think it's a compliment when people say that I've changed because the alternative seems way more scary. I want to fall in love with new things and old things. I want to learn what I like and don't like then learn to switch it up. Life is about new experiences and my goal is to have no regrets by the end of it.

I said so much in this episode that I really have nothing to say here, OOPS! Please enjoy the Super Mario Wiki definition of the "mini mushrooms from Mario" that I referenced throughout this episode: "Mini Goombas, originally known as Micro-Goombas and also occasionally referred to as Goombettes or Small Goombas, are miniature Goombas that are featured throughout different installments of the Super Mario franchise. They look like regular Goombas, being brown vaguely humanoid mushrooms, albeit they are notably smaller in size. Their main purpose is usually to slow down the players or otherwise impede their progress." The above text is from the Super Mario Wiki and is available under a Creative Commons license.

Hey there... yeah you... the one comparing yourself to those on social media and those around you. Stop doing that!! It's graduation season and I too am a victim of comparison, you are not alone. It's the very thing that inspired this episode slash roller coaster of thoughts. It can be discouraging when you see those around you achieving the goals you set for yourself, HOWEVER, it is important to remember that the route from point A to point B aka where you are right now to your goals, is not linear! I am talking ups, downs, circles, hard stops, false starts, I mean the whole thing. If it was easy, everyone would do it right? Let's practice patience and kindness to not only the world around us but to OURSELVES. I am so proud of you and how far you've come. Keep going. Save the bees. Spice up that pre-made Alfredo. Thank you for listening.

I've had 3 near death experiences in my life and that's all I have room for lol ! It's scary, it's traumatic, it's not ok. I thought the experience itself would be the worst part but looking back on it might just be. Regardless, I'm still here so I'm thankful

Pump the breaks, write down your goals and call your mom!! Life can go by really fast if you let it so it's not a bad idea to slow things down a bit and pay attention. Remind yourself of your long term goals and 5 year plan. We have to make a conscious everyday to bring ourselves one step closer to where we want to be. This is something that I remembered to do earlier this week and it has realigned me in so many ways for the better. Oh and call your mom, she misses you.

My mind has been on the social aspect of my life and what I contribute to it. I've been thinking about where it falls on my priority list in the grand scheme of my life. In the past, I may not have valued it as much but as I'm getting older I am realizing how important it can be. I've started to understand how forming strong bonds with people can benefit your life. We all need perspective or a shoulder to cry on or a breath of fresh; I learned this in time and am continuing to navigate it all. I am thankful for the friends and family in my life who inspire me.

I'm trying to remind myself that we all get into our funk phases full of self doubt, what ifs and bleh energy from time to time. We're human... like we're not supposed to be perfect and productive all the time. I try to tell myself that no one has it all figured it. That's the beauty of it all honestly, day by day we're all just learning new things and navigating life, making mistakes as we go. Recording this episode with no real rules or guidance helped my mood so much. Creative freedom is important and when you don't care what people think... I can tell that's when things start getting good. Love you allllllll byeeee. 

I've moved A TON in my life. From childhood to adulthood. What never fails to thicken the plot is the continual addition and subtraction of new characters... or in this case, ROOMMATES ! From my very first freshman roommate, the girl from Maine with mono, to the wifi password changer, to the twins and brit, to the girls who didn't know where the trash chute was located

February is my favorite month of the year (aside from my birth month) and we are OBSESSED. I love LOVE and on this episode I talk about what love & relationships mean for me during this time in my life. It's important to protect your peace but I find value in deep intimate connections as well. Balance is key. Thank you for listening xoxo
