Recently, I received a note on Instagram from a listener who wrote to me about her recent loss of a job and how she wants to shift gears to start something new. Realizing she was struggling a bit, she asked me about therapy and if it really helps people, plus how she can find a good therapist. 

In her words, I saw what so many people struggle with, so in addition to writing her back, I decided it would be a good topic for this week’s episode. 

I hope that after you listen to this episode, you understand a little bit more about what therapy is, the different reasons to go and it gives you some tips for finding the right fit for you. 

If you still have questions or want to share more about your experiences with therapy, please send me a DM on Instagram, @authenticandbrave or post in the Facebook Group, as I’d love to hear from you. 

Remember, therapy can benefit anyone through learning about yourself and achieving new insights and goals. It can lead to better health, having more fulfilling relationships and therapy can help you create an overall better mental outlook!

In keeping with the theme of the last two episodes, today we wrap up the 3-part series on love by talking about self-love.

Taking care of ourselves is the ultimate act of self-love, so I want this episode to be a reminder for us to be kind to our minds and to be aware of the messages that we are telling ourselves, so that we can move to a place of self-compassion and self-love.

As a follow-up to last week’s episode talking about love, today’s special guest (and the first that has joined me so far on the podcast!) is none other than my very own husband, John!

In this episode, we take a look back at how we met and the ways that our relationship has evolved through the years, including the struggles we’ve faced and how we’ve both learned to communicate and have our words heard by each other, and not the emotions. 

Whatever point you and your partner are at in your own relationship journey, we hope what we share today about love and authentic communication helps you, and we would both be so happy to hear what part of this conversation resonated the most.

Today we’re going to talk about one of my favorite topics: love. Given that Valentine’s Day is coming, I thought spending some time on what it means to love, and to be loved, would be a great topic for us to chat about. 

In this episode, I share what my own family, strangers, professional athletes, and even young children playing sports has taught me about love. I hope you enjoy this topic, and are left thinking about the power of love in your own life, because as the Beatles famously stated, “All You Need Is Love.”

Recently a friend told me about her desire to start a small business, and as quickly as she started talking about it, she backtracked and shared all the reasons why she couldn’t do it. Have you ever found yourself doing this, falling victim to imposter syndrome? We all have, myself included, which is why today I want to shed light on this topic. In this episode, I reveal why feeling like an imposter is so common, what research says about it and how you can move through it to get to the other side, where success lies!

It has been said that the creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn, and just one acorn can be the start of so much. Like the acorn, who you are is always inside of you and available to show the world, if you are brave enough to share who you truly are. In this very first episode of The Authentic & Brave Podcast, I reveal how I am incorporating this philosophy by creating this podcast and allowing myself to face what has held me back. I talk about l what authenticity really means, how you can begin taking the steps to discover the bravery to be yourself, and I share practical activities that you can do right now to start tapping into your authentic self.
