  • 28. my journey with EFT

    In this episode I chat about how I went from being on the fence about EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) tapping to being obsessed! I shared a video on intstagram but also wanted to expand on it because there is only so much I can say in 3 minutes. I chat about my background in therapy, my own healing journey, and what led to this shift!

    ps. this will definitely not be the last time I talk about this!

  • 27. all my emotions while pregnant; the ones people don't really talk about

    In this episode, I chat all about emotions (surprise surprise πŸ™ƒ) but specifically the emotions that have been coming up for me as I get further along in my pregnancy! The ones that most people don't really talk about, always in the hope that I can help put words to someone's experience or help someone feel less alone if they are going through something similar🫢🏼 And of course, I also share how I've been navigating these emotions and THE tool that has been a game changer for me!

  • 26. change IS scary; treat it like an experiment

    Change is definitely at the forefront of my mind right now as my due date approaches and all the other things happening in life right now plus this seemed to be a theme that kept coming up with clients so I figured I would record an episode about it! I chat all things change and I share how I am trying to approach and navigate this time for myself and of course leave you with some really tangible things to try for yourself! Oh and I might go on a few tangents, oopsies!

    RAIN technique:
    R: recognize what is coming up for you
    A: allow yourself to fully experience and feel the emotions coming up without trying to fix, avoid or push away
    I: investigate with curiosity, not judgment (where do I feel this in my body? what stories am I telling myself right now? what do I need in this moment?)Β  Β 
    N: nurture with compassion; essentially treat yourself like you would treat a dear friend or loved one going through this experience

    Book mentioned (& one I 1000% recommend): Radical Acceptance by Tara Brach

  • 25. pregnancy & weight gain; what you actually need to know

    I posted something on Instagram a little bit ago and there was just so much more I wanted to say so I had to record an episode on all my thoughts. I share my own personal experiences as well as my opinions and thoughts on this topic given my background as a therapist specializing in eating disorders. This is a topic that needs to be talked about more so I'm hoping to help start the conversation!

    It's important to note that I am not a medical doctor so this not medical advice but rather me sharing my own experiences and why I believe things need to change.Β Β

So there are quite a few things I chat about in this episode .. what is normal anyway , like seriously. Who decided what's normal for our entire society. I also talk about redefining success, normal, productivity for ourselves because for a lot of us (including meπŸ™‹πŸ»β€β™€οΈ) .. our current definitions aren't actually serving us! Oh and I even touch on core beliefs too .. I told ya, it's a jam packed BOMB episode! Β
