Rest is Productive: Rethinking Hustle Culture in Your 20s
In September, I had the privilege of giving a TEDx Talk at Clemson University. Ever since I can remember, my number one goal in life was to give a TED Talk. And thanks to @tedxclemsonu , that dream came true.
This talk is for everyone who has ever felt that their worth lies in their productivity or accomplishments. For everyone who has struggled with their mental health. And for everyone who knows we can do better systematically to prioritize health and wellbeing for all, not some. I am here to tell you that you are so much more than a to-do list. I am here to tell you to hustle less.
Thank you to @successfulstorytelling@_ainara_garcia_ and the entire @tedxclemsonu team for making this day possible. And thank you to @tedx_official@ted for giving me this platform to share my story. Use the link in my bio to watch the full video on YouTube <3

Welcome to The With Intention Podcast!!!!!!
I have craved creating a podcast/creative platform for at least 3 years now. 3 years ago I was in no place mentally or emotionally to be able to speak fluently or genuinely on these topics. I had a lot that I needed to work through privately and off screen before I spoke on some difficult topics such as mental health.
I am very happy that I waited to create this space until I was in the mindset to give it my all which is what The With Intention Podcast and you all deserve from me.
Once I acknowledged that I was ready to come from a productive, genuine, and intentional space I became apprehensive for two reasons. 1) I was worried I didn’t have the direction and scope of this podcast fully flushed out. 2) I was worried that I would proclaim my stances on topics publicly, but then rustled with the fear of “what if my opinions and values change?”.
I realized that I was putting both this podcast and myself in a box. I don’t want to have a defined scope dictating the limits of this podcast. Of course I have topics that I am very passionate about and that I have every intention of speaking to on this podcast, but I want this podcast to talk on any topic that seems right for myself and our community at any given time. To my second “worry” point, I noticed I was doing the same thing to myself. I hope that my stances on topics evolve because I REFUSE to stay stagnant in my growth and I don’t want fear of changing (which I actually hope that I do) to stop me from starting this podcast and creating this community.
I am so eager to see where this takes us and how we learn and grow alongside one another. I have every intention of creating a safe and inclusive space and community in which all of us come as we are. We don’t have to agree, but we must have respect for one another. Please remember to take everything I say with a grain of salt and then some. Cheers to the beginning of whatever this is and becomes. And if you listen even for 10 seconds, I greatly appreciate you.

Peace and love,

Graduated with my M.S. on a random day in December, so to celebrate here is the highlight of my program.
What an epic 3 months filled with learning, growing, perspective changing, and most importantly, friendships! I’ll be back soon♥️
