In this episode I get real about how I am struggling.  The COVID situation as well as witnessing everything happening in the world is getting to me. I talk about what I am doing to help myself navigate through all of it and want to inspire you to do the same. This is hard on everybody and my heart goes out to everyone who has personally been affected by the virus as well as their families. I want to encourage everyone to take care of themselves and if you would like to discuss setting up a personalized Self-Care plan contact me at https://happytappygirl.com/contact-me/ or email me directly.

In this episode I talk about how to make self-care simple.  Self-care can end up being another thing on your to do list.  You can have the best intentions to do something special for yourself then end up frustrated if your plans don't go the way you want them to. You can also get down on yourself if you can't remain consistent.  With the stress that we are all facing in our everyday lives it is super important that we nurture ourselves. I share 3 different ways you that you can accomplish this without costing you any extra time or money.  Self-care equals self-kindness. 

In this episode I talk about how you can change your focus from problem based thinking to solution based thinking.  We are experiencing a lot of chaos in the world and it's uncomfortable.  It's hard to feel all of your emotions, yet feeling your emotions is the first step in both self-help and self-care.  It allows you to pay attention to the positive change happening even when everything feels messy.  That's when you begin to be in unity with yourself and be in unity with others.

In this episode I talk about how day to day living is more tiring than usual and how it has been intense with the COVID and protests.  We cancelled our vacation and I am dealing with the disappointment as well as all of the emotions that go along with it. At the same time I am looking at this whole situation as an adventure and how it can help us remember what we are passionate about and gets us excited. This is a great opportunity to reconnect to ourselves, to focus on what's working in our lives, what's not and why.  I give a couple of quick and easy relaxation tips at the end.  We've got this and can support each other.

Ladies we tend to give to everybody else and forget about ourselves.  In this episode I talk about how my divorce and experience with breast cancer taught me that I needed to put myself first.  How putting myself first has had a positive impact on everyone around me.  It will have a positive impact on everyone around you too. I promise to help you feel more connected to yourself, be comfortable in your own skin and feel passionate about your life.
