Emilie Leyes--brain training specialist, hypnosis practitioner, and actor--joins me on the show today to give tips on how we can retrain our brains to think more positively, reframe our habits, and acknowledge our many moments of "enough-ness". Emilie vulnerably shares her journey of rising from her chronic illness and inspires actors and non-artists alike to feel empowered in their own identities.

Our brains can become addicted to the extreme adrenaline spikes of high-cortisol inducing emotions. If you find yourself uncomfortable with peace, stability, or boredom, and remedy this by causing chaos, distress, or drama - you might be in an emotional addiction cycle.

Understanding attachment theory and how we connect with others is vital to maintaining healthy and long-lasting relationships. Learn about about anxious, avoidant, and secure attachment styles with me, and join me as I unpack the dreaded anxious-avoidant trap. By recognizing the toxic patterns and traits we exhibit/encounter (and understanding where they come from), we can actively heal and work towards emotional security and safety.

Resisting the temptation to say good riddance to 2023, I'm reflecting and sharing all the lessons that I learned last year. Choosing to grow from our circumstances helps us realize that things are really happening for us, not just to us.

Humans have a tendency to view things on the binary; black or white, this or that. But heartbreak and beauty can coexist. So can love and grief, acceptance and desire, or stress and calm. Dive in as I discuss how empowering it can be when we allow ourselves to experience the full range of emotion - it's the beauty of being human! We are so multidimensional.

Facing failure and disappointment in our lives is inevitable, so on this week's episode (suggested by listener Emily H.!) let's discuss how we can move through the feelings of disappointment when our expectations aren't met, build resilience, and ultimately redirect our mindset around failure. I introduce the concept of radical acceptance, discuss components surrounding resilience building, and chat about my personal views on what I like to call a "Win-Win Mindset" in regards to expectation setting.

If you are dealing with symptoms like mood and/or hormonal imbalances, poor sleep, bloating, chronic anxiety & depression, menstrual cycle abnormality, your nervous system may be in a state of dysregulation. How does this happen, and how can we fix it? Sometimes, after a traumatic event, big life change, or period of prolonged stress, our body can get stuck in its fight or flight response, and this leads our body to de-prioritize vital systems like our digestive, immune, and reproductive systems. It takes time to get dysregulated, but with time, patience, and proper care we can restore our nervous system back to a state of peace and safety. Join me this week as I chat about my personal experience with nervous system dysregulation and steps I'm taking to regulate it back to the "rest and digest" state.

Highlights of nervous system regulation:

Feminine & masculine (or yin & yang) energies are two polarities that live in everyone, regardless of the gender you identify as. We tend to have an energy that is more prominent. Join me this week as I discuss not only how to balance our energies, but as I share my thoughts on wanting to step more into my divine feminine.

Leading with your divine feminine energy is slowing down, allowing, and being. Connecting with your intuition, feeling, and trusting. If we want others to take the lead sometimes, we must give them room to do so.

It's natural to set goals for ourselves. But there's two different types of goal setting:

-Healthy goal setting that brings us fulfillment while allowing room for unexpected opportunities

-Rigid life planning that blocks any other plan the universe might have for us and skipping the joy of the journey along the way

If you don't reach your goal...will you be okay? Can you die happy? If the answer is no, it may be time to restructure your goal. Can you make your goal about the feeling along the way rather than the finished product?

In this episode I discuss not only how we can redirect our goals to make ourselves happy as opposed to the need to achieve based on external validation, but I cover how our core beliefs about ourselves lead to our self-fulfilling prophecies.
