  • 66. let's chat skinnytok

    And why it's so damaging (and beyond maddening btw). In this episode, I chat all about skinnytokย and how it's making it feel nearly impossible to feel okay in your own body. I chat about body positivity versus neutrality, how this beauty trend is being packaged as "wellness" and "healthy" and why it's so incredibly harmful. And finally, I share more about how my new therapy group came about. Let's dive in, shall we ..

  • 65. let's chat caring about our appearance

    In this episode, I break down the difference between caring about your appearance / looks and equating those things with your worth. The two are VERY different and it deserves the distinction. I share the questions I've started to ask myself to shift away from reinforcing the belief that my appearance, body size, looks determines my enoughness.ย

  • 61. let's chat character analysis: BIG CITY GREENS EDITION

    In this episode, I breakdown the main characters of the show Big City Greens and give my take on their big threes in both astrology and human design. Honestly, this came from the fact that I could yap about this stuff forever and honestly, I'm realizing I learn better this way versus more traditional "this is what your sun in Aries means" kinda thing. Plus I wanted to try something new and fun so this is definitely the start of a new series ๐Ÿ‘€โœจ

    No, I will NOT shut up about this. Full stop. Period. Because it was that much of a gamechanger for me in all areas of my life. In this episode, I share how gaining a deeper understanding of myself has made me a better mom, partner, and therapist. I chat about how human design + astrology are 1000% tools that are a necessity for my toolbox. They give me a road map on how to honor and work with my own unique wiring and also for my children and clients as well. And I brought receipts baby, so let's get into it!ย

  • 57. QUICKIE: daily morning EFT tapping

    In this (very quick) episode, I wanted to share on of my fav tools for releasing any emotions that might be lingering or feeling a little sticky. Cue EFT tapping ๐Ÿง โœจ It's what I like to call acupuncture for the brain! And here's the truth: tapping isn't about avoiding your feelings (I wouldn't be down for that btw), it does help you navigate your emotions with a little more ease and don't we all want that?

    This EFT tapping is meant to be utilized in the morning to help you clear out anything that might be hanging around so that you can start your day fresh. This tapping only uses four points (eyebrow, side of the eye, cheekbone, and collarbone). I would recommend experimenting with daily use for at least a week and see the impact they have for you!

    Now a quick tip in order to gauge how many rounds of tapping you might need (because sometimes those emotions can be extra sticky) is to rate the intensity of whatever feelings are coming up prior to your first round and then check in with where you are at the end of each round .. the goal of which is to get to 0. Something else I like to do is ask myself these two questions which can help me:

    โœจIf these feelings were a shape, what would it be?
    โœจAnd what color?

    This allows me to actually visualize my feelings dissolving, especially for feelings that I might not be able to strongly feel in my body.

    ps. this I share tools frequently with my besties through my Soul Letters๐Ÿฆ‹ so if you want more of these, be sure to join me over in the email world!ย
