You might be wondering about the connection between setting boundaries and pursuing your dreams, but setting boundaries (with yourself or others) just might be one of the actions you need to take in order to successfully pursue your goals. 

In this episode, you’ll learn about: 

• The connection between boundaries and pursuing your dreams
• Boundaries you might need to set with yourself or others
• A way to re-think boundaries if you’re afraid that setting boundaries means “being mean.”

Values serve as that crucial bridge between determining what your dreams are and the steps needed to carry them out. Values are at the foundation of what matters to us. They dictate what we like, what we dislike, who we want to be, where we want to go, how we want to get there, and who we want to be while doing it. Our values determine what our dreams are, and in living in accordance with our values, we can pursue our dreams in an aligned way. 

In this episode, you’ll learn: 

• Ways that you can build awareness of your values.
• How values relate to our dreams and the way we pursue them. 
• How to recognize if your stated values are in alignment with your actions
• The importance of honestly evaluating and owning your values 

Awareness of our values can facilitate our own personal growth and provide direction for our careers, families, and businesses. If you’re ready for some self-reflection, let’s dive in!

It wouldn’t be right for me, as a therapist, to let this month go by without recognizing and discussing that May is Mental Health Awareness Month!

In last week’s Part 1, I discussed how our mental health has the ability to impact our ability to “dream.” This week, I’ll be discussing how our mental health can impact our ability to “do!”

In this episode, I’ll be discussing:

• Ways that our mental health impacts our ability to do (function)
• Under-functioning, and struggling to take action
• Over-functioning, and constantly striving to do more

May is mental health awareness month. As a therapist, it just wouldn’t feel right to let this month go by without talking about how our mental health impacts our ability to dream and do. In this episode in particular, I’ll be talking about how our mental health has the ability to impact our ability to dream. 

In this episode, you’ll hear: 

• Stats related to mental health
• Ways that our thoughts and feelings impact our ability to dream
• Specific thought patterns that show up when our mental health isn’t doing as well
• Ways that we can address our unhelpful thought patterns in order to access a more expansive state

Over the past few years, I’ve had the opportunity to witness people’s responses to the opportunities that come their way….specifically how they respond to the opportunities they said they wanted. 

In this episode, I’ll be talking about:

• Using discernment to determine whether or not an opportunity is a good one for you
• Recognizing and celebrating the presence of opportunities all around you
• 4 categories of people I’ve seen respond to opportunities (get ready to meet Aspirational Annie, I Didn’t Think I’d Have to Do Anything Debbie, Move Heaven and Earth Maria, and I’m Not Worthy Wanda.)

You’ll also get to hear how I’m shifting my own approach to opportunities, and the types of opportunities I am currently open to receiving! 

Who’s ready to talk opportunity??
