Cathy Speaks

In this episode I talk about how we can use everything that happened in 2020 to feel more excitement for 2021.  I share how 2020 began for me and how the challenges I experienced helped me reconnect to parts of myself that I am using to feel more excitement in 2021.  We all have different feelings as we embark on this new year and it may even be scary envisioning what's possible. I share how I am integrating what I specifically learned and discovered about myself last year into this year so that I can get back to a "better normal" as we move forward.  I also invite you to use 2020 to come up with ways you can feel more excitement. This year is all about integration, fun and love. Always feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or have a specific topic that you would  like me to talk about on my show. I would also be happy to help you set  up a personalized Self-Care plan. Contact me at   https://happytappygirl.com/contact-me/ or email me directly.

In  this episode I talk about my theme for 2021...Integration, Fun and Love. I explain how the last half of 2020 became extra challenging for me and the health issues that I have been dealing with from chronic menopause induced headaches to getting Covid myself. I also talk about how we can all use whatever we experienced in 2020 as a learning experience and that the pandemic, social and political issues highlighted areas in our personal lives that need some extra care, attention and healing.  I also give a sneak peak of what to expect in the next coming episodes that I think will benefit everyone and help shape 2021 into a great year for all of us.

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.

Welcome to Cathy Speaks where I will be empowering and inspiring you with common sense self-help and self-care. 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. I am all about keeping things simple, having fun and taking care of yourself.
