What drives shame? Is it self preservation, fear, negative core beliefs, or insecurities? In this episode we discuss what being vulnerable might look like and how this is connected to shame in society. Using inspiration from Brené Brown’s TED talk “Listening to Shame” and one of my new favorite quotes, we dive into opening up authentically and why vulnerability and shame are NOT a sign of weakness, but a display of courage.

Energy levels, flexible vs. porous schedules, 60 second breaks, and reflecting on our habits are just a few highlights from this episode. Anthony joins us on the podcast this week to discuss gentle discipline and the value of prioritizing “finding modifications + options” instead of giving up on habits and routines. Together we’re learning how to be kind to ourselves and not push ourselves into burnout, while also finding balance in our minds and bodies.

How can we put down our computer, unplug, and take a deep breath to settle into the present moment? Let's talk about giving ourselves permission to dream of a relaxing vacation that you deserve and why it's important to take a break. If we are not creating time for our bodies to rest, our bodies might "make time to rest" in unexpected ways. Vacations don't have to be elaborate or expensive to be memorable, and core memories can happen at any moment. I have such beautiful (and crazy) core memories from vacations and small trips, which I share in today's episode as I reflect on how I view my personal experiences. In this episode, we talk about everything from dreaming, to taxes, to driving anxiety, to vision boards, and even a rocket launch! This unedited episode is one you won't want to miss.

While exploring a gentle approach in my extended recovery from my eating disorder, I share some of the things I have learned along the way. Changing the way I view exercise, integrating non-appearance related compliments, and creating feelings of safety within my body through yoga have been a few key factors in facilitating trust with myself through this journey. Your energy and heart are the beauty that I value, and I hope you continue to experience healing with your own body, even if you have not struggled with food / body image in the past. We all deserve safety and love, and I appreciate you creating space to explore these ideas together.

Feeling the pressure to be 'on' all the time and to be perfect was all I used to know. We're talking about society's unreachable standards today and how pushing ourselves too far can leave us feeling lost and unsure of who we are at the core. Finding my way back to healing has included different therapeutic and pharmacological modalities. As we dive into my medication journey, I also share the details of my migraine and ADHD struggles in an effort to reduce stigma around taking medication for your mental well-being.

To ring in my 25th birthday I’m coming out of hibernation to share what I’ve learned in the last year along with past birthday memories. As someone who has struggled with mental health & trying to stay alive, birthdays have felt lonely, while simultaneously a huge milestone. This year I felt like all the major lessons I have learned were put to the test and maybe I’m slowly finding my way. I share why I’ve ditched the phrase “forgive & forget” and why this birthday has been feeling heavy & anxious as it approaches. You’re not alone if birthdays feel full of feelings. We’re in this together, love Clare.
