the WORST night of my life
In this deeply emotional episode, I share the story of the darkest night I’ve ever experienced—a night that, even amidst the unimaginable grief of losing my daughter when she was just five weeks old, still stands out as the most painful moment of my life. Join me as I open up about the raw details of that night, the heartache I felt, and the overwhelming emotions that came crashing down on me. Wink Clique Code: EVERLYJO Just Ingredients Code: EVERLYJO

how to avoid negative talk
In this episode, I dive into something that I personally have been struggling with—negative self-talk—and share strategies to help us break free from that harsh inner voice. We all have moments when we’re our own biggest critics, but the truth is, we deserve to treat ourselves with more kindness and understanding. I created this podcast not just to help others, but as a way to improve my own mindset, and I hope it can do the same for you. Together, we’ll explore practical tips on how to recognize and shift negative self-talk into a more positive, compassionate narrative. Whether you’re looking for ways to build self-esteem, create healthier thought patterns, or simply be kinder to yourself, this episode has something for everyone.

anxiety and tools to help ground you
In this episode, I dive into the struggles of managing anxiety, and talk about my recent experiences with overwhelming feelings of stress and uncertainty. It’s been a tough season for me and my family to say the least. In an effort to navigate through it, I wanted to share some practical tips that have been proven to help. I'm hoping they’ll bring some peace not only to you guys, but also to myself. Join me in this vulnerable conversation, as I hope to create a space where we can all learn how to better handle anxiety and embrace a sense of calm, even when it feels like everything’s a little too much. Let’s get grounded, together. https://dimebeautyco.com/ Code: MARKIEO https://winkclique.com/ Code: EVERLYJO

are you still lds?- part 2
First of all, thank you so much for all the love and support from my episode two weeks ago. It means the world to me. After I released that episode there were a lot of questions, so today- in part 2- I'm answering a lot of the questions I got asked. Also I had a mic malfunction so the audio for this episode is from the video. So it's not the greatest. If you have a hard time understand, watch it on youtube where we've added subtitles.
