A Tall Girl's Podcast

15/07/2024

Finish the statement: New week, new ____

I'll go first 🙋🏽‍♀️🙋🏽‍♀️

New week, new TV show to binge watch. Tell me how I went from binge watching Teen Wolf to binge watching Love Island 😭😭 There's some good stuff out there....I can't just choose one!

I did a poll yesterday asking if tall parents wanted me to do an episode on my podcast giving advice on how to help their tall children feel more confident w their height and literally 100% of y'all said yes. I mean I saw a few comments and even received DMs from parents (mainly dads) asking me to do an episode such as this, so I guess you can say I wanted to run it by you guys first 😭😭😭😭😭

But I am curious, what specifically do you guys struggle with when it comes to helping your tall children feel more confident? Is it supporting them when they're bullied? Helping them see the beauty in being tall? Feel free to drop your ideas and questions in the comments if you'd like 👇👇 or shoot me a DM!

Also, I saw The Wiz on Broadway yesterday!! Would 12/10 recommend; I really really liked it.

Happy Monday!

Happy MONDAY PEEPS!!

I hope everyone had a restful 4th of July weekend and got to see some fireworks whether on TV or in-person.

This week I will be struggling to get back into routine JUST when I got back into routine after my trip. I'm really trying not to be too hard on myself and want to allow myself to slowly get back into the swing of things to avoid feeling that 'back-to-work shock'. It's still a little difficult for me to give myself some type of grace when it comes to these things but it's something I'm still actively working on.

But hey, at least I got my newsletter out last week! Probably not the best time to send it out the day before 4th of July but honestly I didn't wanna put it off for much longer. This is something I've been wanting to do for the past six months so for it to happen makes me very very happy.

Can't wait to see where this goes and if you wanna check it out, click that link in my bio 👏

Yesterday's guest recording reminded me to go where you are appreciated. Well...technically she said to put yourself in places where your height is appreciated (which is very true I might add!!). But I think this applies to life in general.

Our confidence and self-love are not only affected by internal factors but also external factors. The people you surround yourself with and the environments you stay in can determine how you see yourself. Put yourself in places where you are appreciated and you will soon be able to appreciate yourself.

Alright, enough from me lol. Enjoy the rest of your Monday 🫶

24/06/2024

A little photo dump of London so far! I honestly don't think that 9 or 10 photos is enough so expect more of these on Wednesday 😭😭

I actually got a couple recommendations from one of you guys.

I'm definitely not gonna get to all of the places she recommended to me but I'm for sure gonna hit as many as I can!!

Also, nobody told me about this WEATHER. I thought that it was summer on this half of the planet, but depending on where you live it feels like spring here. Maybe shoulda packed a few more long sleeves. But nonetheless I am enjoying myself (and lots of great food!) here and I highly recommend subscribing to my newsletter in bio to hear more about my trip 🙌🙌🙌

17/06/2024

We are leaving today folks. I repeat WE 📢 ARE 📢 OUTTA 📢 HERE. The plane leaves in just a few hours and by tmro I will be living my best vacay life (I hope lol)

Some of these pictures are also from a day trip to Jersey City. It gave Manhattan vibes but soooooooo much quieter and if you're a New Yorker (or as my mom likes to say 'citified') you'd understand the difference. It was so nice to be able to walk in such a diverse and busy area without the noise pollution that's here in NYC. 12/10 would def recommend.

Also, I finally opened up my new podcast mic after like 3 months 😭😭 Did a little video on that so I'll be sharing that with you guys soon.

Reminder of the week: there's only one you. While it may feel like the world is "saturated" sometimes, trust me when I say this, there is more than enough space for you. Don't be afraid to shine!

12/06/2024

Happy happy Wednesday!!

These past few days have been filled with day trips, hanging with friends, and lots of good food.

Oh yeah, and I started a newsletter??? I revealed that in my Stories 2 nights ago, but just in case you missed it, I started a newsletter!! It's gonna be a monthly newsletter that's kind of like a one stop shop of resources, tips, and links relating to tall girl fashion, all things self confidence, monthly episodes, and a deeper dive into my life. Some of y'all have already subscribed (thank u btw ❣️❣️), but if you're interested, the link for that is in my bio 🙌🙌

Plus, has anyone else noticed a recent shift in the weather? Well, at least in NY?? It's been over 80 degrees and sunny for a while but nowadays it's in the 60s and cloudy. Well, the weather is supposed to be like this in London, so I guess it's prepping me for that 😭😭

Also, the last video in this post will make more sense if you check out tomorrow's episode. Yep, providing no context for y'all 😭😭 New episode "Why Don't People Take Tall Women Seriously?" comes out tomorrow morning!! Stay tuned 🙌

05/06/2024

Am I laying on my hoodie? Yes lol. Idk where all the beach towels went.

This past week has been....peaceful. No stressing about assignments. Cramming for exams. Rushing to catch the early bus. Just peace. Lots of laying in the grass and bed 😭😭 I will admit it was a little weird at first but I've definitely gotten used to it very quickly. It feels nice to kinda move past the whole graduation thing. Even tho I just finished editing my graduation vlog last night and have yet to post it 🙃🙃 but once that's up THEN I will move past it 😭

Should be taking this time to enjoy it because once I leave for my trip the week after next week it's back to go go go for 9 days straight lol. Pls pls PLS if you have any tips on how to save money while on a trip in a foreign country, PLEASE drop them below lol. The currency exchange is kinda freaking me out 😭

New episode "Do People Judge You Based on Your Height?" is coming out tmro morning!! Stay tuned 🙌

29/05/2024

2 graduations??? Yes please!!

Lol yes I graduated from two schools; I'll explain more in tmro's episode...

I am delighted to say that yesterday, I officially graduated with a BBA in Entrepreneurship. It seemed like graduation day was so far away just four years ago and to have lived through this moment is surreal.

I want to take a moment to thank my family and friends who have supported me through my journey, who have been there in my times of happiness and celebration, and who have been there in my moments of sadness and stress. I also wanna thank you guys for your support as well whether through kind words or even a little gift on my birthday 😉 I'm also gonna shoutout myself because why not lol. I'm so grateful to be surrounded by such supportive people who have helped me to get to where I am today.

And expect more grad pics lol...I was in the graduating class of 2024 for high school so I haven't had a proper graduation since 8th grade. I deserve to live in this moment for a while 😭😭

For those of you who are wondering what's next for me, tomorrow's episode is something to tune in to! I talk about my summer and future plans, updates with this podcast, and more 🙌🙌 stay tuned 👏

20/05/2024

First graduation is this week! Turned in 3 essays in 4 days SOMEHOW lol and my last 3 assignments are due on Wednesday...should be interesting to see how I can pull that off 😭😭

Last week, I posted an episode w a tall clothing business owner and yesterday, I recorded an episode with another tall clothing business owner. The more and more I speak with them, the more I love doing episodes with tall business owners. Not to say that I never loved it in the first place because I already have, but I have been hearing a lot of their stories, their experiences, behind the scenes, and how they started their businesses and it's just interesting to hear the unique stories of how they each got to where they're at today. And I absolutely appreciate all my tall clothing business owners 🫶🫶🫶 y'all are doing some great stuff

And I appreciate all of you guys and your unique stories and experiences. Don't let anyone tell you that you don't have an interesting story or any unique experiences. Because you absolutely do. You add so much value to this world 🫶🫶

Happy Monday folks!

15/05/2024

I was supposed to be studying for my exam when I took these first two photos, but I decided to sit in the grass lol

This past week was the last of many things. Last day of classes. Last performances. Last few days of seeing my friends everyday at school. These "lasts" are kinda sad but also very liberating.

We have two weeks in a row of two special guests coming up!! Both are tall clothing business owners so I def recommend tuning in to tmro's episode 🙌🙌🙌

30/04/2024

I absolutely love having a hobby, but carrying a heavy instrument on a crowded subway for over an hour can be exhausting 😭😭

But hey it's for rehearsal for my last ever performance of undergrad so we gotta do what we gotta do 💪💪

The final countdown is on ⏰️⏰️ graduation is just around the corner, spring break is ending in literally a day and a half, life is getting real bit by bit

Alright, time to go back to working on 6 different projects 👍👍

24/04/2024

Was walking the other day and found myself under this pretty tree...I had to take a pic 🙌

Oh yeah, I'm also on Spring Break!! FINALLY lol. I somehow was able to get 8 hours of sleep and hang out with my friends on such a sunny day. It feels good. To feel like a human being again instead of someone who's constantly working and schooling.

The only thing that keeps haunting me in the back of my head is the fact that I have two projects due once Spring Break is done. Maybe I should get started on those lol...meh later 😭😭

New episode on finding your tall girl community comes out tmro!! Stay tuned and check out that link in my bio to catch up on all of the episodes 👏👏

17/04/2024

Slowly starting to get back into the swing of the things only to get back out of them during Spring Break lol

Anyone else stay in birthday mode for a long time?? I mean it's been a week and a half and I am just getting back into my routine now lol.

I'm in my last month of undergrad and when I tell y'all I'm literally questioning everyingggggg it's actually insane. I will have a 6-month break between undergrad and the start of grad school and that's A LOT OF time. Which is good and bad. Good because it gives me time to rest and think. Bad because school has been a huge part of my identity for so long and idk how I will be able to shape my day without it. Or at least without thinking about it. I think the change may overwhelm me. Is this what post grad anxiety feels like?? Geesh, I hope not.

Also, I'm shopping for graduation outfits tomorrow....what should I start out with?? Shoes or dresses??

Love y'all and stay prepped for tmro's podcast episode 🫶🫶

Birthday Weekend Pt. 2

Something I definitely realized over the weekend was that this was a much-needed break. I was able to spend 4 days having fun and not looking at any type of work or school or anything. Definitely very refreshing.

Anyone else scream sing in karaoke?? 🙋🏽‍♀️🙋🏽‍♀️

Super glad I didn't lose my voice like I did last year 😭😭 Honestly a little shocked...

We have 2 special guests on tomorrow's podcast episode so stay tuned 👏👏

08/04/2024

As Queen Tay Tay once said, I don't know about you, but I'm feelin' 22.

This is literally the only time in my life that I can say this, so as cringey as it is, I'm rolling with it.

I just wanna thank everyone for all of the birthday wishes over the weekend. I'm extremely grateful for every single person who's been in my life these past 22 years, whether it's from day 1 or just yesterday. I'm glad I got to take the weekend to enjoy time w people who are close to me 🎉

And yes, I do celebrate my birthday for multiple days. There's no rule that says I can't do it 😭😭

Birthday weekend part 2 is coming to you guys on Wednesday 😉

25/03/2024

As the sign in the third photo says, it's Monday Fun-day!!

Super awesome news: I've officially decided to invest in a new microphone. There's nothing too too wrong with the current one that I have; it just picks up a lot of feedback and I personally feel like the audio could be smoother and crisper. I'd love love LOVE to do an unboxing for it but who knows when I'll have the time for that 😭😭

Now that I'm graduating in two months, I want to start investing more into this podcast. There are so many things that I want to do (like maybe starting a newsletter??????) and taking a few months off before going to grad school can definitely help with that. You may say that rn I already do sm for this podcast, but I always feel like there's something else I can do. Something more that I can do. And I think investing in better equipment is definitely the first step 👏

Tip for the week: don't let someone who isn't worth your time ruin your shine. Definitely something that I've struggled with last week - but sometimes people who don't know your whole story feel the need to make comments about you and your body and your life. It's so easy to get mad at them and try to make them understand your point of view. But what's the point? Especially if you've known them for like 2 seconds lol. Save your energy for other things. Like eating and tuning in to A Tall Girl's Podcast 👏

20/03/2024

Spring is officially here y'all!!

What are u excited about this spring?

This may sound a lil self-centered LOL but I'm pretty hyped for my birthday 😭😭 turning 22 in a few weeks!!

Stay tuned for tomorrow's podcast episode and catch up on all the previous episodes in my bio 🙌🙌

18/03/2024

It's been a WHILE since I've updated you guys lol

How have y'all been??

The past two weeks were the height of midterm season but funny enough I didn't have any exams. Just a bunch of projects and papers that I've been procrastinating as you'll hear in this week's episode 🙌

But hey I've been talking to my professors about my career and my future and even attended a roundtable last week with marketers and brand managers to get some networking in. If you didn't know I'm currently finishing up my last semester of undergrad so I'm trying to do as much networking as I can. So today involves a bunch of emails being sent out to people I met at the roundtable and fingers crossed something awesome comes out of it 🤞🤞

Yet with trying to make advancements in my future, it's been difficult trying to keep up with work and school and this podcast. And I'm not gonna lie, I've been having a little bit of a creative block in terms of what topics to discuss on the podcast. I have my weeks where I have a bunch of ideas and some weeks where I can't really think of anything. So, if there's anything you guys want to hear on the pod, drop them in the comments!!

Wow, it feels really nice to just write everything down and read what's in front of me. It helps me process everything that's going through my head 😭😭

Have a happy rest of your Monday!

14/03/2024

New episode is out now!! 👇👇

https://atallgirlspodcast.com/episode/is-being-tall-awkward-or-are-you-making-it-awkward

For the question of the day…is being tall awkward? Riddle me that. Like what about your height/what about being tall makes you feel awkward. I feel like the...

26/02/2024

Question of the day: rainy weather 🌧 or sunny weather ☀️?

I'm a sunny weather type of gal but I'm starting to appreciate the cozy rainy days.

I had a very interesting meeting over the weekend. I've been trying to go to virtual networking events for the longest time and I finally ended up doing one this month! I met a couple cool people, and I met someone who has his own SEO and advertising agency.

We decided to meet outside of the platform to talk further and we did. As I was listening to him speak about his company I couldn't help but feel a little intimidated?? Like he was doing all these big things and I'm just this college freelancer. Mind you he's much older and has way more experience than me but I still thought to myself 'dang, I have a long way to go before I can get to that point...'

But he offered me an opportunity to work with him. Somewhat of a sales position, which I'm not the most excited about. It's not really something I'm interested in, but if I say no, will I lose him as a network? Idk. I haven't given him a decision yet but I should probably do that sooner rather than later.

Also, I forgot how much iHop pancakes slap?? We're definitely going back there lol 😭😭

21/02/2024

This was my desperate attempt to get a photo with the sunset. This is probably gonna be one of the last few sunny days for a while so I wanted to get at least one nice sunset pic. But sometimes I forget that the city is so full of buildings that it's hard to get a nice view of the Sun....or the sky...

This is your reminder that you don't always need to be doing something to consider yourself being 'productive'. Since it's officially hump day, aka the middle of the week, it's common for energy levels to start going down as we go through our busy weeks.

Rest is productive. Sleeping is productive. Eating is productive. Talking to friends is productive. Don't forget to take care of yourself as we finish up the last of winter 🙌

New episode "How To Overcome Your Height Insecurities and Stop Letting Them Control You" is coming to you guys tmro morning!! Stay tuned 🙌

19/02/2024

Did anyone else get insane amounts of snow over the past few days??

Don't get me wrong, the snow is pretty, but it's all fun and games until you have to shovel out your car 🙃 I honestly thought that with a week of 50 and 60 degree weather, we wouldn't see that much snow in NYC but Mother Nature never fails to surprise us 😭

Question of the day: what's your #1 goal to accomplish for the week?

Mine is to submit my paper that's due tomorrow on time 😭😭 can't let senioritis kick in just yet lol

Have a happy Monday y'all!!

18/02/2024

So glad to have these two amazing guests on 🙌🙌

Y’all we have two VERY SPECIAL guests on today’s podcast episode: Briy and Lucky! Two are very talented models, one who’s just breaking into the industry and th...

14/02/2024

Happy Valentine's Day to all the couples, love triangles, and singles out there ♥️

Today is not only the day to spread love to your S.O. but also to your friends, families, and of course yourself 🤗 Because as my gym teacher once said, self-love is the best love and that's on period 👏👏

Also, this is your sign to get that heart shaped donut (or a dozen of 'em 😉)

12/02/2024

A day off from school? Sign me up!!

Ya know, I was gonna use this post as a way to say 'yeahhh get outside and get some Sunshine and fresh air'. But after I took that first photo, the wind hit my face and I was like 'there's no way I'm staying out here' and ran back to my car 😭😭 Pre-spring weather can be so deceiving.

I'm gonna tell you what I wish I heard this weekend: it's okay to not meet everyone's expectations. It's okay to say no to plans or back out of things at the last minute because you don't feel 100%. It's okay to feel overwhelmed by everything that you're doing and take time for yourself. But what's not okay is to beat yourself up over those things. You're only human.

As you can probably tell by that I had a very lOOOOOOOOng weekend 😭😭

Make of that what you will. Have a great rest of your Monday. 🤗

Oh and Alicia Keys made an appearance at the halftime show last night??? As she should 👏👏🔥

07/02/2024

The sky was so pretty last week. That honestly made me so happy, especially because it was so cloudy for a while... Oh and this picture was taken at a gas station btw 😭

Question - Do you feel inspired and motivated by others? Who are they?

I recently spoke with a friend who was telling me about a new personal project he's starting and he seemed so passionate about it. He spoke about the project in great detail and discussed his next steps and I honestly couldn't have been prouder of him. Listening to him speak about the project just made me feel so warm inside and more motivated to pursue the things that I'm passionate about.

Idk, I just figured I'd share something nice that happened this week.

Anyways, new episode is coming to you guys tomorrow "Tall Girls Will Never Fit In...Here's Why That's A Good Thing". Stay tuned 🙌

06/02/2024

If you're into video podcasts, check out A Tall Girl's Podcast on YouTube!

Today, we’re talking about posture. I don’t think I’ve ever spoken about this in depth on my podcast, which I find pretty weird because I feel like there are...

06/02/2024

It's hard to believe that it's February already. I honestly could've sworn that just yesterday was Thanksgiving 😭 They're not lying when they say senior year goes by extremely quickly.

I've been offered an opportunity by my mentor to speak at a workshop at my school. The workshop is about social media and e-commerce for small business owners. She's known me for a while and knows that I'm a freelance content marketer and believes that I can provide some good insights.

Ngl, when I first heard about it, my brain immediately thought 'say yes!' But then she told me that my portion would be an hour long and then I was like ummmmmm what??? Idk I feel like presenting a project in front of my peers for a few minutes or speaking to a camera to post on social media is extremely different from speaking to PROFESSIONALS for a whole hour. That's a little intimidating if you ask me.

I still said yes anyways, because I know that if I told my mom that I said no she'd tell me to go back to my mentor and change my answer 😭 I already sent in my outline for what I will say so we're in too deep 👏

Also, I think I've officially stepped into adulthood. I have not one, but two savings accounts?!?!?! Me?? Managing and saving my money?!?!? Call me a full grown adult at this point 😭😭👏 I'm not gonna lie I feel like some of you guys who are well into adulthood read these types of things in my captions and laugh 😭 but hey, I'm a youngling so I don't feel as bad.
