Girl Versus World

This is a question that came up recently - Are photo filters ruining our self esteem? We see them being used on virtually every social media outlet. Sometimes we know for sure someone is using a filter and other times maybe it's photo shop or real life. It used to be that we knew that magazines and print were all photoshopped to some degree and we were okay with that. But now, it's getting harder and harder to tell and often times when the filter comes off, we are left feeling bad about ourselves. There is no filter for real life. In today's episode, I talk about the affect that the filters seem to be having on our self esteem. I even polled some of my own friends to get their feedback on the matter.

Every single person is going through something or has gone through something that has brought them to their breaking point one way or another. We sometimes get this idea in our heads that other people are perfect. I hate to break it to you but they are not. Nobody is perfect. Not a single person out there. So to compare ourselves to other imperfect beings is futile. If we go into this world with the understanding that everyone is at least a little fucked up - then we can stop comparing ourselves and judging our own journeys so harshly. In this episode I bust open the idea that we should have compassion on all humans because we truly don't know who they are, what they are going through or what they've been through that makes them who they are today. When you understand that how people treat you rarely has anything to actually do with you - you can have empathy and compassion.

I didn't learn this until much later in life that you have to invest time in self discovery. Nobody really teaches us this, it's something we learn in adulthood. But how does one go about actually finding themselves? Go on a walkabout? Have an Eat Pray Love experience? Give up everything and start over? Sure, you could do those things if you want - for some of us self discovery is more extreme. However, it doesn't have to be that extreme at all. You could simply start right now and I'll talk you through how on this episode of Girl Versus World.

Starting over gets a bad reputation. Often times people see starting over as a failure. What if you could actually look at starting over as a success? I've had to start over several times in my life and each time I've had to reset my life, it's gotten better and better. Instead of starting over from scratch, I've started over with experience and THAT is what has made all the difference in the world.

Are you having trouble focusing? Do you find yourself picking up your phone in-between tasks or while you are just sitting around doing nothing? Maybe it's the only think you can really focus on for hours at a time. It's time for a reality check - you might be suffering from a social media addiction, fomo or even some social media related depression that you keep feeding the longer you stare into that tiny screen. The world is different now - we perceived everything through a digital screen and it's having a major affect on the way people think and behave. It's a side affect of constantly comparing ourselves to other. We are watching others and feel like we aren't doing enough in your own lives based on seeing someone else's highlight reel of their life. It's taking a toll on everyone. I struggle with this constantly and it's time to talk about it. Plus, I'm going to share what I'm doing to actively overcome it.

It's easy to get stuck in survival mode - especially if you've been in survival mode for years going through things like family drama, trauma, addiction, codependency, financial hardship or whatever else might have triggered your survival instincts. Sometimes though, you get stuck in that mode, even after you've gotten through the worst of things. In this episode I talk about what it's like to get stuck in that mode and how to pull yourself out of it so you can move forward.

We've all been there, that moment where you throw your hands in the air because you just can't take it anymore. In relationships, this is called "the straw that broke the camels back" moment. There's a final thing that just causes you to boil over and give up on the relationship. Ive had these moments many times in relationships and called it quits. I stumbled across an article that described this moment perfectly and today I want to share that with you all. Perhaps it will help you save your relationships or better understand why past ones have failed. I know it did for me!

A part of recovery and therapy involves letting go of resentments. It's a huge step in AA where you have to write down all the resentments and then work on letting each one of them go. I'm going to be honest with you, my list is hella long! So I'm sharing this one with you all. This is a resentment I will never be able to resolve with the person involved so for the sake of letting this one go, I took it upon myself to figure out a way to let the resentment go, heal and move on. This story is taking it back to my teen years and I share the unorthodox was that I freed myself from this resentment in a series I"m calling releasing resentments.

I'm going to let you in on a little secret that you might not even know about yourself - You are worthy and need to be reminded. Many of us have an internal struggle going on that has to do with feeling worthy. You might not even recognize that you're constantly talking yourself out of the things you want out of this life. It's time to come to terms with this part of yourself and work toward a place of worthiness where you can start saying yes to yourself. I share some of the struggles I face on a daily basis and what I've done to boost my self esteem and go after the things I'm worthy of.

I've had a fear of public speaking since I was young. When I say a fear of public speaking, I don't just mean that I get nervous. I'm talking - it's a full body experience. My stomach churns, my heart races, my chest gets hot and my vocal chords stutter. To make matters worse, my throat starts to close up and it gets so bad that I even pass out. How embarrassing! I lived with this crippling fear for years and it stopped me from doing pretty much everything I wanted to do. That was until one day. This is the story about that one day that changes everything.
