Growing Minds

This one's a little less... positive shall we say? It's more real. Self-acceptance is a journey - and not one for the light-hearted. It can't be boiled down to a pretty & inspiring Instagram post (as much as I try). It can't be practiced just when you are loving life and working hard and doing everything right. Acceptance should be practiced when things get ugly. You'll walk away from this one grounded and feeling less like a hot mess - because honey, we ALL are. 

In this episode, I question EVERYTHING and we get DEEP.

Haleigh's an old friend, fellow podcaster, mental health professional, and woman of faith. She's also extremely inspiring, funny, and brilliant. We chat about ending the stigma around mental health and dig into her relationship with her faith. How is the Bible a multi-genre text and how does religion get a bad rep. (sometimes deservingly so)?

I think this episode will be beneficial for anyone - believer or non. We need to start having conversations with all kinds of people. This one will open your mind and your heart.

Why are boundaries important? How can we navigate them? How do we have those hard conversations? All of this covered and more! We will never be at a perfect balance, but it can help our lives immensely if we have a basic understanding of them. This was one of my favorite episodes to record. I know it will be one of your favorite episodes to listen to! You'll walk away with clarity and confidence to navigate some of the most difficult relationships in your life.

GET PUMPED for this hour long episode. I had the immense pleasure of interviewing Erin Sadley, founder of The Rooted Family. She’s gone from public school teacher to brain health coach for entire schools, companies, & families. We talk about the science behind brain health, how a pandemic has affected our focus, how amazing kids are, and more! I walked away from this with a sense of empowerment, joy, and clarity… I know you will, too.

I'm finally bringing you an episode about gratitude! I've spoken about gratitude in so many other episodes, so I thought it was fitting to do one pod-nugget allll about it.

With our growing political division and social justice issues, society is feeling more negative than ever. Even though we must forge ahead and fight the good fight.. We must also take time to be grateful for the small, everyday things in our own lives. Gratitude has served as the single most beneficial tool for me in the past few weeks, and I hope this episode encourages you to use it for your benefit, too. 

Much love!

This week I'm bringing you some science and some research, some empowerment and some motivation... To be real, I was having a tough time getting through the current climate right now, and I know I'm not alone. The words of this neuroscientist really uplifted me and got me back on my feet. So I'm passing along her words in the hopes that it will do the same for you!

The Dalai Lama calls compassion "Wise Selfishness," and we've got some science to back up why it's so dang wise.

I always try to provide you guys with tools to overcome difficult stuff... in this episode, there are SO MANY TOOLS. Seriously though, I think there are like 20 ways to reframe anger, 10 tips on how to get through bouts of anger, 1 tool to use for bullies, 1 tool to use for grounding, and 1 vulnerable story about how I recently got through a bout of anger. This one is chalked full. You'll walk away feeling less shame about your anger and more confidence the next time you become a ball-of-fire. 

This season will feature some credible guests super soon!

Get pumped! 

Reframing! A very simple term coined for a sometimes very difficult skill. In this episode, I bring you my trials & tribulations with reframing. I let you know that it's OKAY to not always have the energy to look at things positively. But there's hope in learning how to reframe. What's bad doesn't always have to be bad, and what's good doesn't always have to be great. You'll walk away from this one with a renewed sense of perspective and simple tools to approaching your thought process!
