Saint Podcast x Embodying Your True Self and Overcoming The Walls Of Judgement
If you are struggling with self acceptance, judgment or being a people pleaser, you’re not alone and we’ve all been there. As a matter of fact, most people still struggle with these tendencies on a daily basis. It takes true determination to trust in one's inner strength and to build courage to overcome the fear of being judged and to fully embody your confidence, opinions and values. Being true to who you are down to the core is a challenging but also liberating feeling once accomplished. It is so important to spend time with yourself, to truly get to know yourself and all your likes, dislikes, outlooks, etc; and once you are solidified with that foundation, the rest of self acceptance becomes easier. Surrounding yourself with individuals who know you and accept you for who you truly are is one of the most special bonds you could ask for, but that comes with feeling secure within yourself first. At the end of the day, you cannot please everyone, no matter how hard we try. It can come as a surprise to some, or a hard pill to swallow for others; but that is the harsh reality of life. It’s okay to say no to your friends and prioritize spending a night in. It’s okay to not have the same opinions and values as others. With self acceptance comes confidence, and with confidence, comes the elimination of caring what others think of you. You are your own person, and there is no one else quite like you in this world. Embrace that and fully embody who you are at the highest frequency. That’s what makes you so special and unique from the rest. Are you ready to break free?

Saint Podcast x The Effect Social Media Has On Societal Normalities & The Courage Of Self Reflection
Social Media is a crucial part of our lives as the world continues to evolve with technology. If you are a millennial or older you can reminisce on your simple childhood memories before the IG & TikTok era. In the last twenty years, humans have evolved with technology and society has completely shifted as we know it. With anything in life, there are always positives and negatives to almost everything, but do we ever stop to reflect on why we follow certain trends and norms of today’s culture? It would be safe to say social media has many benefits and we feel more connected with humanity than ever. By the same token, we live with constant comparison, judgement, and pressure due to our unlimited access to any source of information, person or thing we could possibly imagine. Through this episode, we dive into many of our own personal observations and opinions on topics that we believe are crucial to discuss and reflect on. It can be difficult to look deep within yourself and ask the hard question. It’s difficult to reevaluate and gain perspective on why some of these “norms” can be detrimental to our development as individuals. We want to share our perspective with our audience as we both individually have found more peace and purpose by asking ourselves “ is society changing for the better?” and shifting our focus to something beyond ourselves. It’s never too late to be a person of change.

Gina Shkeda x How The Rise Of My Socials Changed My Life
On this week’s episode of Saint Podcast, we welcome the multi-talented, worldwide known beauty influencer Gina Shkeda; who shares her narrative on living life in the limelight, what she did to get there, and how it got her to the dream path that she is currently emerging in now. After one viral video and directing her way through the spotlight at only the age of 17 years old, Gina has executed many skills and talents, mostly within the entertainment industry. After graduating from Vancouver Film School, she began basking in her skills and started pursuing professional wedding photography and videography, content creating and has since indulged in all things music and art. But it hasn’t all been glamorous; with living a life so exposed and accessible to the public, struggles with mental health began to arise, making her begin to question whether or not this avenue was the direction for her. Starting off her 20’s as a beauty guru and now shifting her way to the music and entertainment industry, Gina has decided to take on the pursuit of producing music and live DJing, making a complete 180 in her career. We are thrilled to have been able to sit down with Gina and listen to her story on how she navigated through the switch, the ups and downs of her journey, and how she has maintained the duality of having influencer status but still embracing the journey and struggles in her average day to day life. With hard work and dedication, Gina proves to us that it is more than possible to chase your dreams and live the life that you desire. It’s never too late to switch paths, and no limits are ever out of reach. Believe in yourself and know that you hold the power to create your own pathway to success.
