Did you know everyone has a struggle bus?
In this episode of Finding Her, Julia talks openly about the idea that everyone has an imaginary struggle bus that carries all our personal feelings associated with being human on this planet.
She shares that feelings are not seen and that the behaviors and actions that stem from inner feelings are presented in our lives.
Owning your struggles and deficits means you can be in control and become the driver of your struggle bus. She also talks about a recent trip where she traveled while being in control of her anxiety and depression.
Julia believes that successful people who drive their struggle busses are the ones who use coping skills and want to learn how to change their mindset and tend to their mental health issues. So she shares tips that can help you while you are traveling by: train, plane, boat, or automobile.

For today's show, Julia introduces her community to Dr. Sharon Grossman. ( taken from her website).

Sharon is a qualified Success Coach, Clinical Psychologist, author, speaker, wife, and mother of two. For the past two decades, she has worked on improving the health and well-being of high achievers who so often sacrifice their self-care as a result of work demands and get caught up with everyone else’s expectations that they end up burning out at alarming rates. So when she started to experience overwhelm and burnout, the irony of the situation was not lost on her.

She, too, is a high achiever, so she naturally had a never-ending to-do list. Her brain is always coming up with more ideas. She would have too much on her mind, no direction, and would focus on unimportant items while forgetting about more important ones. It would feel like there was never enough time to do everything she wanted to do and she would end up feeling stressed.
Does this sound like any of you listeners out there?
Julia truly understands! 

Julia and Dr. Grossman talk about the difference between coaching and therapy. Dr. Grossman shared on her website and on the show:

Coaching taught me systems around organization, planning, and time management. Now, I am super clear about what I need to get done each week, I plan for it and I stick to my plans. As a result of my optimized performance and mindset practices, I get more done in less time, have replaced overwhelm with accomplishment, and most importantly - empower my clients to reach their potential.

Through the integration of psychology and mindfulness, I’ve created a comprehensive and transformative program that teaches stressed-out high achievers how to effectively navigate their work and personal life so they can thrive. I love that my work inspires them to think BIGGER, feel more grounded, and handle challenging situations with ease.

****Dr. Sharon Grossman is the author of The 7E Solution to Burnout and an Emotional Intelligence expert. She holds a doctorate degree in Psychology, has extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and 20 years of experience helping her clients take back control of their lives.

This week Julia uses an old post from Instagram that she wrote during the Brave series on Finding Her. Titled "Be Brave Like Lucy".
Using the Instagram post Julia takes the I Love Lucy show and its storyline and pairs it with her own personal narrative and idea that we often wear superhero capes to show how strong we are. Never showing weakness, exposing our own needs all at a high price that includes a decline in our mental well being. Julia also relates her own experiences of ditching her cape but then succumbing to a bad habit and wearing it yet again to gain that perfect and in control of it all mindset which eventually led to a massive burnout. 
She also talks all about her personal struggle bus and how others need to not be ashamed to ask and know when to ask for help.
