Aaliyah Jade is back from her hiatus and talking about what you should chase instead of waterfalls since TLC told us not to chase them. Something so central to who we are are the aspirations, goals, desires, and dreams that we place on ourselves that we strive to maintain. Why are we so obsessed with dream chasing? What does society contribute to this obsession?

S2 E8: Chase These Instead of Waterfalls

Now I know that I am not alone in this. Who else struggles with self-love &amp; insecurities on the daily? In this episode, Aaliyah talks about some insecurities of her own and how to deal with them in order to change them. She also talks about her own journey towards self-love and why she thinks it&#39;s important.

S2 E6: Self-love & Insecurities

Are you struggling to date and find your perfect match as a millennial? Does it seem like everyone is either getting engaged, married, or having a baby on your timeline and you&#39;re still struggling on what to wear in case the boy at the coffee shop decides to notice you today? Well listen to this episode of &#39;Aaliyah: Jade in America&#39; whether your answer was yes or no to all of the questions above. I, being Aaliyah, talk with my friend Mia about what dating is like in this generation, the talking stage, the lack of commitment from people, self-love/acceptance, and pancakes. I promise it gets mentioned. Listen to pass some time and then let me know your thoughts on Instagram or Twitter @itsaaliyahjade. Happy living!

Today&#39;s generation is captivated by social media. Whether it be for receiving content or chasing clout, social media is an ever-present being in our lives. In this episode of Aaliyah: Jade in America I talk about the come up of social media and how it has impacted my life along the way as well as challenge you to really focus on the role that social media plays in your life. We say the words Social Media and think negatively and I want to get back to a place of connection and care-freedom.

S2 E3: Becoming Social Media

What does it mean to be an adult? I still don&#39;t think I have the answer for you. Aaliyah, being myself, comedically talks about a couple of more things in part 2 that pertain to her adult life and how she wants a refund. She also talks about herself in the third person and wonders who will be next week&#39;s shout out because they messaged her on Twitter or Instagram (@itsAaliyahJade) about her description.

What does it mean to be an adult? Does it mean you have bills and taxes to pay? Does it mean that rent is due EVERY month? Does it mean that you have it all figured out? Honestly I think we&#39;re all just winging it. In this podcast I talk about 2 of MANY things that &#34;make someone an adult&#34; and I hope that through my humorous honesty you can find yourself or a new reason to unsubscribe to society.

We&#39;ve all been there, or maybe we haven&#39;t but we all go through it. Whether it be from a friend or a romantic relationship, we all go through heartbreaks and I just wanted to voice my insights on my current heartache.

Episode 8: When a heart breaks...

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2019/7/14/23/bab92a67-c35d-4c9b-b413-208c80cd7dbb_episode_7_-_love_-_7_14_19__7.08_pm.m4a

Ever wonder what the underlying rule of all humanity is? What the greatest thing you can accomplish in this world is? Hint: If you&#39;ve seen Moulin Rouge, you already know what it is! Peep this podcast to find out.

Episode 7: The greatest thing you'll ever learn

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2019/6/27/17/ad332005-1fa9-4fce-b6c3-bd42cc66c119_episode_6_-_fat___beautiful.m4a

Society likes to tell us that bigger women and men are not beautiful and that is simply not true. Just because I have rolls and curves and stretch marks does not mean that I am not stunning. Fat and beauty are not antonyms. Here what I have to say on this topic.

Episode 6: My fat is beautiful

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2019/6/23/21/9013354a-5355-4af7-ae35-04bcadc62ce5_episode_5_-_messy__stressy__and_depressy.m4a

We all get a lil depressed sometimes. How do we deal with it in a society who looks at us crazy for mentioning it? How do we help our friends who are dealing with stress, anxiety, or depression?

Episode 5: Messy, Stressy, and Depressy

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2019/6/20/17/5710b2f0-6778-4fd4-8307-d951e9426262_episode_4_-_college_is_whack.m4a

You ever felt like you were being forced to go to school because someone (society) told you that it was something that you needed to do? This is why learning is better than going to school. I promise they are separate entities.

Episode 4: College is whack

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2019/6/16/18/fc4c3bfc-9a28-432e-9182-d005a87851fc_episode_3_-_pressure_-_6_16_19__2.40_pm.m4a

More than ever these days we have this constant pressure to &#34;be&#34; something. Whether this is coming from ourselves, parents, friends, images we see on social media, or society in general. We face an unbarring need to do, create, make, and differ before anyone else and make a name for ourselves. Why?

Episode 3: The pressure to "be"

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2019/6/13/18/398831b7-eefb-4e2e-8231-f9734ec721bd_episode_2_-_why_i_started_this_podcast.m4a

Bunches of updates for the listeners! The podcast is now available on both Spotify and Apple Podcasts, I&#39;m back on social media, I started a website, and I&#39;m starting a NEW podcast (solely on the reality TV show Big Brother). This episode further explores the reasons behind why I started this podcast in the first place and what it means for me to unsubscribe to society.

Episode 2: Why did I start a podcast?

My name is Aaliyah Jade and this is my podcast where I challenge you to unsubscribe to society's norms, pressures, and stigmas.
