Do you vote in political elections?

I do, however I definitely forgot to vote in my last local election and I also feel like those ones almost matter more in a way since it directly impacts you/your community. Not that the major presidential elections don’t, but states still have their own laws and regulations so the local ones are important. Clearly also not that important because I failed at voting in my county’s recent election (lol).

Write about a time when you didn’t take action but wish you had. What would you do differently?

When I worked for a raging narcissist, I wish I had quit sooner. I wish I had listened to my gut the first day I walked in, and I wish I had started looking for other jobs. I knew right away that it was going to be chaotic and that this was a place that was not running well.

At the time, I took it on as a challenge and kept telling myself that if I quit, I failed. When I think of that, I wish I would have had a different mindset about that at the time. It is not failing to leave a toxic environment. It is not failing if you only stay at a job for a few weeks, because your boss is emotionally unstable and abusive. I knew I easily could have found another job, but I had it in my head that I started this job so now I need to prove that I could do it.

At least now I have learned a lot of lessons from that job (and others), and I am much more aware and confident in my ability to stand up when I am being talked down to. I’m learning that I do have a voice and I deserve to be heard, and I am 100% allowed (and encouraged) to speak up when I am feeling uncomfortable. As much as I wish I hadn’t stayed at that job so long, I took valuable lessons from that place.

What makes you nervous?

Public speaking isn’t my favorite, which is also another reason why I have delayed started my podcast. I did well when I took a public speaking class in college, but it still makes me so nervous to think about speaking in front of large crowds. I know my podcast at least will be recorded in the comfort of my house and my own company, but knowing that I want to post it publicly does make me nervous too. I’m sure the nerves also have something to do with the fact that I’d be talking about my own personal story and healing journey (vulnerable af). I’ve done things in the past that have been out of my comfort zone and I have been totally fine, so I know once I finally pull the trigger and record I’ll be okay.

How do you use social media?

I currently only have Instagram and Snapchat. I use snapchat to stay in touch with friends, sending pictures and videos to them individually and also sharing stuff to my story. As far as Instagram, I go through phases of creating/sharing reels and I love seeing funny videos as well as spiritual and inner child memes! I often share those to my stories and sometimes reshare them to Snapchat as well.
