Girl Versus World

Today, I'm trying something new. Actually, I've been trying a lot of new things lately. Stepping outside of the ol comfort zone. I've found that this is where I experience the most growth so why the heck not. Today I'm going to chat about how trying new things can actually enhance your life, as scary as it may seem at first to try. Join me as I venture into trying new platforms and see if I have what it takes to do this "live" thing.

So you fancy yourself a great communicator? Maybe that's been an area of your life you've had to work really hard on - communication. I come from a background of codependency where communicating my own needs has been a downright struggle. So you've worked really hard to learn how to communicate and you find yourself a new partner and you communicate til your blue in the face. What's the problem now? They aren't comprehending you. This can be one of those struggles that creates anger and frustration and lots of fighting in a relationship. You're a communicator and you're communicating but the person you're communicating too just isn't getting it. Maybe they also aren't reciprocating the communication either and you find yourself just stuck! This can also be a sign that you might still be repeating a pattern of codependency as you are choosing people who don't get you. You'll spend hours communicating and trying to MAKE them understand and they just can't. It's maddening. In today's episode, we're going to chat about it and perhaps find some resolution here.

Happy New Year! We are back with a new season of Girl Versus World. In this episode we are going to talk about setting our intention for the year. Instead of setting a resolution that adds to your ever growing to do list - we are going to set an intention to "say no" to something or "let something go". I intend to make 2022 a year of letting things go and make ourselves lighter. So lets explore this idea of being able to say no to the things in our lives that no longer serve us or letting go of some old habits or things that have been holding us back in previous years. It's not going to be easy by any means, but it's going to worthwhile.

Dating apps quite frankly, suck sometimes. If you've been on them for any length of time, you know what I'm talking about. It's frustrating. There's a lot of ghosting, fake profiles and if you're not down with the hookup culture, you're probably gonna have a bad time. So if you're like me and you work from home and struggle to meet people, then apps are the necessary evil in your life. I've come up with some helpful tips to help you find love in the swipe left and right culture of today's day and age.

Mental heath check? How are you doing? As for me, I took a few months off to get my mind right. After receiving some urging from my therapist, I decided to take a break from lots of things and just focus on my mental health. I started an intensive codependency group therapy regimin to start the healing process from my past relationships while helping me make sure I speak up for my own wants and needs in my future relationships. In this episode, I catch you up on what's been going on in my world.

This one is a doozy! You see, in life, many of us are taught that we are powerless. Why? I haven't quite figured out when this became the way to get people to change but it's used in many religions and programs. In order to be healed one must first admit they are powerless. There ARE times in our life where we feel powerless and it's sometimes a good thing to admit it. This is all fine and well but we don't have to stay powerless. In fact, I'm going to encourage you today to move from this space of powerless into a space of powerful. If you are ready to move from powerless to powerful - then this is the episode for you!

Falling in love with a narcissist is intoxicating. They spend a lot of time mirroring the best parts of yourself back to you. You're actually falling in love with many of your own great qualities that you likely have a hard time seeing in yourself. The narcissist spends a lot of time learning what makes you tick and where they can insert themselves and do the most damage. Once you are hooked, then the control and manipulation begins. You become obsessed with trying to get those feelings you once had at the beginning of the relationship where the narcissist made you feel like no one else ever had. You fantasize and hold on to that idea as they gaslight you and make you feel like a crazy person. This is a cycle that will continue until you find the strength to end it. Only YOU can do it and I'm here today to share what happened to me in hopes that it will help you see what you should do for yourself.

I realized this week that sometimes happiness can hurt. You can probably relate to this if you've had a tough life. A person can get used to being stepped on and walked over in their life. So much so that when things start to actually happen for the better, it leaves them with a feeling like the other shoe is about to drop. A sense of impending doom even. Other times you might start to feel pain because you realize that you've lived your life struggling for so long that when things start to go good, it's a tough realization you're met with. On today's episode I share a little about my struggle recently with happiness, well, hurting.
