Have you ever felt like you had to wear a mask and disguise how you’re truly feeling because you felt like crap?  You don’t want to ‘make other people feel bad’ so you pretend everything is fine when it’s not.  I have 🙋‍♀️  and it’s exhausting. 

If no one has ever told you this before then I will … It’s okay not to be okay!  Yup, you’re allowed to be bummed, frustrated, irritated, scared, angry, annoyed, disappointed … you name it, it’s okay you’re experiencing it AND you don’t have to act like you’re not.  In fact, what if telling the truth about how you felt was the fastest way to feel better?

I wanted to do a podcast on this topic because I believe it’s an important one.  It seems like there is a lot of forced positivity in the world right now and that can actually have a negative impact on someone who is not okay.  I have both experienced forced positivity and, if I’m being honest, I’ve actually done it to others.  

So whether you’ve experienced it or done it, this podcast aims to shed some light on how to be there for yourself, or someone you love, when they’re not okay.  

I'm also going to help you navigate negative feelings.  Those emotions aren't bad, they're there for a reason but chances are you've never been taught how to process them.  Since you've never been taught how to handle them you might avoid them, push them away, or distract from them instead.  In this podcast I'm going to offer you a different option.  One that will help you be right where you are so you can eventually get where you want to go.    

About The Host:

For nearly two decades of her life, Pamela Hughes had a microphone in front of her face. After graduating from Arizona State University with a degree in broadcast journalism, she started her news career with a brief stint in western Wisconsin before making her way back to the Grand Canyon State.  In Phoenix, Pamela quickly climbed the newsroom ladder and started teaching the next generation of journalists at ASU.  She knows what it’s like to chase the big story as a journalist, inform an audience as an anchor, and oversee an entire operation as a news director.  She spent the final six years of her news career as the only female talk show host in Phoenix.

While Pamela loved connecting with her audience and bringing them the big stories of the day,  the grind and negativity of the news cycle took its toll.  In an effort to help navigate the growing emotional demands of her high profile career, the desire to be an exceptional mom and a great wife, Pamela got a Life Coach.   That one decision changed her life.

Her coach helped her discover the hidden power of thoughts.  She started to manage her mind and was amazed at how that transformed her life.  Pamela decided to quit telling people what was wrong in the world and started to help people discover what was right within their own world.

Now, Pamela  helps people take back their power to create the life they once envisioned for themselves. Her primary focus is on creating an awareness of how you're thinking so you can create the results you want. Whether you're are stuck in life or their career, she can help you finally take the action you've been putting off.
