Today we're talking about how much shit we make up in our heads... the stories we tell. 

Have you ever felt like your mind is a stage for anxiety's most dramatic plays, complete with unwelcome intrusive thoughts as the main cast? The internal stories we tell ourselves—those fictional narratives of conflict and judgment that can dictate our stress levels and overwhelm our everyday lives. 

This episode is all about understanding these cycles and offering you strategies that can lead to a better relationship with these all-too-human experiences. Let's shed light on finding joy in the midst of distress, mastering self-regulation, and staying present amidst life's chaos.

We're not only building awareness, but working with actionable techniques to keep your mental ship steady in turbulent waters. We'll explore the modified 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 grounding technique that taps into the power of our senses, and how a simple mantra, "I am right here," can anchor us firmly in the now.

In this episode I'm getting into the true nature of burnout to discover it may not be from overdoing, but under-living our passions. It may not just be doing less that will keep us from burning out but from doing more of the things that fill us with joy and ease and strengthen our sense of self. 

We confront the 'shoulds' and the strain of people-pleasing, particularly for those who've been conditioned to prioritize others' needs above their own. It's a call to action for all of us, but especially women, to reclaim our identities and well-being through the simple, powerful act of joy prioritization.

This episode isn't just about discussion; it's an invitation to transform. Embrace the things that make you laugh and your heart sing, while gracefully shedding the weight of obligations that are not your own to carry.

In this episode we talk about the ol' dilemma of not enough time.  The thing is, when we're trying to build new patterns it's not about the length of time, but how often we practice.  

We often think of self-care as something we do when we're stressed or anxious, but what if I told you that it's equally crucial to practice it even when we're feeling good? It's all about teaching our system something new, creating a positive pattern that helps prevent future stress. 

Whether it's focused attention on your breath or another technique, just a few minutes can make a remarkable difference. As we wrap up, remember, choosing yourself and prioritizing self-care are non-negotiable, no matter how much or little time you have.

If you're feeling the weight of the world on your shoulders right now you're not alone. What if there was a way to keep yourself grounded while still acknowledging the reality that the world is quite literally on fire. 

In this episode we explore the path of emotional regulation and caring for ourselves while exploring the privilege inherent in this ability, and the crucial interconnectedness of humanity in a world often swamped with distress.

This episode is far more than an intellectual exploration; it’s a call to action, a demand for global responsibility in a shared humanity. 

We’ll uncover the importance of self-regulation, and the power that lies in acknowledging and working through discomfort rather than side-stepping it. And of course, we are all in this together.
