Born to Thrive Podcast

It's about time I talked about one of my favorite topics when it comes to relationships and awareness and that is love languages. If you've read "The Five Love Languages" you know exactly what I'm talking about and if you haven't, this is going to be a great episode for you. We all give and receive love in different ways. This book allows us to understand those ways better and how we communicate our love and care for another. There can be some miscommunication when they don't line up though and I cover that as well.

There's power in honesty. Being up front with another human being. For telling it how it is instead of beating around the bush. While society condemns direct communication as a negative, I want to share with you how direct communication can help improve your life and your relationships.

After some reflection from my previous dating experiences, I have a new rule for all of us. If we send a conversation to a friend asking, "What do you think this means?" It's over… I'm serious. It's time to start valuing ourselves more and not questioning our worth. Listen in to find out more.

This episode was really hard for me to record. I've been slipping back into old patterns when it comes to binge eating and a lot of it stemmed from some depressive episodes after being sick. While I'm still working on it, I've gathered a good amount of control on it and wanted to share because this is what most people don't talk about.

A very deep but important question to ask yourself… do you like yourself? Do you enjoy being alone with yourself with no distractions? Is it super hard for you to be with your own thoughts?

I had another revelation while I was sick and had time to fully process and those were the times I let my standards slip. For whatever reason, I lowered my standards either in my dating life or with friends and I lost sight of how I deserved to be treated. This stung to really think about and I don't want you to make the same mistakes I did.

Being sick has allowed me to have time to reflect and sit in stillness. Before being sick, it was really easy to be super busy, bouncing from task to task, and not have to sit with my own thoughts for long. This time reminded me of a story about when I felt really embarrassed and, yes I will share the story but, it's important to understand the power your mindset plays in your life.

Jealousy is a great emotion to have and I'll tell you why. It's an indicator of what you want in life. One of my favorite books recently is Mel Robbins "High 5 Habit" and in an interview with Jay Shetty, she talks about her perspective on jealousy. After the Alphaland opening and spending time with so many supportive women, this topic came full circle in my life and I want to share my experience and perspective on it so you can reframe jealousy in your own life.

If you would have told me back in high school I would be where I am today, I would not have believed you for one second. I just got back from the Alphaland opening, having a blast with so many likeminded people in the fitness space and it wasn't that long ago I failed PE in high school. Yes, me. I want to share a bit of my journey to falling in love with fitness and how to turn failure into opportunity.
