Have you been feeling sick with comparison lately? I have *cough cough* :') In S1 E30, we break down comparison, as I provide you with examples on how it relates to my own life - from comparing myself to loved ones to creating art. Essentially, comparison takes away from originality (my main point). Let's get well soon xoxo

Eon Awa (@eonawa22) is a musician, artist, and performer with released music - such as his debut album "More" and latest single release "King without a Kingdom." We discuss the importance of teamwork and partnership, the process behind creation, what it's like leading this musical and creative lifestyle, and much more!

I have found that upon graduating from high school, I have slowed down. I am not the person I was whilst still in school - my schedule looks and feels different, and so does my lifestyle. With that come the realizations that have struck me that I share with you in this episode :)

Slow down, just keep moving.

P.S. This is the episode you have GOT TO listen to for study motivation! And, Sarah, I will be checking in with you every semester. Expect a minimum of 6 episodes by the time you graduate.

Let's talk about patience, and how it relates to my first song, driver's license, graduating from high school early, my fitness journey, babysitting, and the extreme temperatures in my room!

Oftentimes, taking a break allows one to come back stronger. Céline Oirbans, 25 y.o., (@gymnast.celine.oirbans) is an amateur gymnast Senior Third division (Level 8) from the Netherlands.

Hello! I have just spent the past 30 minutes crying and feeling sorry for myself... I recorded this podcast episode anyway! I have also just come back from a road-trip to Utah (I live in California) and having spent so many hours in the car... I have learned A LOT. Here I am sharing my newfound wisdom with you! :)

Sasha, (@alondongirl_) is studying real estate and planning at UCL, ranked 8th in the world, after getting an undergraduate in geography.

Bradley Scarff, 19 y.o., (@bradley_scarff_piano) is a 2nd-year pianist studying at Leeds Conservatoire, England.

We discuss the composing process, channeling emotions, polyphony, studying classical music, Bradley being willing to chop off his left foot to hear Horowitz play live, and much more!

I think we are all familiar with the pre-burnout phase... feeling exhausted, irritable, not wanting to do what you love, tears in the eyes, on the very verge of burning out. Season 1 Episode 15 is all about how I navigate through this challenging time.

P.S. I have not burnt out once.

Isabella Flores, 18 y.o., (IG: @isabellaflores_) is a Team USA ice dancer training in Colorado. She has just come back from the national qualifiers competition on Georgia, PLACING 1ST! We discuss her ambition with the sport and the next steps, the rigorous training, the importance of partnership, and much more!

P.S. Isabella turned my whole Instagram reels FYP into ice skating videos because I have watched hers so much :')

Reflecting is essential. Here are 7 things I learned in 2021:

1) Life is about people.

2) I am constantly evolving.

3) Matthew 12:34: "the mouth speaks what the heart is full of."

4) I am responsible for what I say, NOT for what you hear.

5) It's a marathon, not a sprint.

6) The best way to figure things out is ON the way.

7) I must be a beginner to become a master.

Léo, 22 y.o., (IG: @leovauchervisuals) is a visual artist from France, moving to California 6 years ago.

I am graduating high school in less than a month and launching my music career. As you can imagine, I am incredibly nervous yet absolutely exhilarated. I have not the slightest idea what 2022 will bring, so all I can do is trust. Let's talk about it!

Shop Ocean Breeze here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/OceanBreezeEtsy 

P.S. Miss Shelly is GOING places with her astounding determination and applaudable work ethic.

Right now, I am the most exhausted I have ever been - this is the hardest I have EVER worked. In this challenging time (#POWERHOUSE31 reference), I am realizing that I am also growing the absolute most. INTENTIONAL DISCOMFORT IS GOOD.

P.S. This is the workbook I poured my heart, soul, and all of the night's sleep into.

Tim Bodon, 17 y.o., (IG: @gymmittim) is working towards his first bodybuilding competition in May 2022, having started weightlifting in February of this year. Tim shares his experience with rigorous training (2 hours for upper body day, y'all), as we discuss the importance of discipline and mental strength, as he balances school, bodybuilding, soccer, work, social media, and much more!

P.S. Please refer to this podcast episode when Tim wins the title of Mr. Olympia.

In one word, I would describe myself as a "powerhouse." However, on the daily, I am still powering through impostor syndrome, perfectionism, and being my own worst critic. This episode is released in honor of Week 1 of my #POWERHOUSE31 challenge and collection.

Alex Herbert, 20 y.o., (IG: @_alex_herbert_) is a pianist at Leeds Conservatoire, England, and my first ever podcast guest! Although I do not plan on pursuing a higher education in music myself, it is incredibly refreshing to talk to somebody who practices 6 hours per day... on average, of course.

P.S. I think twice about skipping piano practice now.

I am graduating high school early to be a singer-songwriter, and I have no plans on going to college. Let's talk about it!
