Hi everyone, what's up and welcome back to the Gen Z Girl podcast. My name is Abby Asseland. If you guys are new here,

it's been a minute since I've recorded, I feel like, just because the last episode was pre-recorded.

And a lot has changed since then. My goodness. Today's episode I really just wanted to do because it just felt right for me to talk about this today,

just because it's something that I've been struggling with and experiencing a lot lately.

but you can't control, you know, inside your thoughts, the way you perceive things and the way you react to things,

and that can make a big difference. So my goal for this week is to be easier on myself.
