Growing Through It With Carleigh

Do you often say "I avoid confrontation!" as a personality trait? If so, you're in luck! This episode aims to change the perspective of confrontation, the difference between confrontation and conflict, and navigating how to communicate gently but firmly.

Today's episode is a pep-talk style episode where we keep it short, sweet, and to the point. We're talking all things big confidence and how to switch the perspective from feeling confident to being confident in your actions.

Today's episode is a very narrative explanation on how I avoid taking things personally, how to communicate about it when people do take a swing at you, and how boundaries is the root of all the things we do here.

I'd love to hear your takeaways over on Instagram here! 

Today's episode is all about my lessons learned from taking a break from the podcast last week, the reminder we all need about rest, and how to change your perspective about how your actions impact those around you.

as always, the discussion continues over on instagram!

Guys, I can't believe I have the absolute honor to bring back my friend, colleague, and professional growing-through-it BADASS Jennifer Lusinger, LCSW, to the podcast! 

First and foremost - please go check out what Jenn is up to! Her website and contact info can be found here. 

We mention a few products that have helped us be therapreneurs along the way. If you are a therapist and interested in learning more, click here, here, and here! 

Lastly, today's episode is a realistic look at how your long-term dreams and goals can actually take shape, change over time, and require so much diligence in believing in yourself. 

Today's episode is a shift from our previous few weeks that were capitalizing on all the energy and buzzwords that surround the holiday and new year season. This week, I wanted to get intentional about creating space for the bad stuff - aka negative thoughts, feelings, and memories, and how to acknowledge them without personifying them always!

I mention a good friend of the podcast, Dr. Meghan Powell, and her amazing work on journaling in today's episode. Click here for her journaling mojo!

As always, therapy is a vital and necessary resource to tap into, especially when you notice you're "getting stuck" around certain things that can be hard to deal with.

Use a resource like Psychology Today to match with a therapist in your area and use a filter to get a match who takes your insurance!

Want a little bit more depth? Mental Health Match is like a dating app but for clients and therapists to connect.

Need a more affordable option? OpenPath helps clients find affordable therapy based on financial need.

Today's episode is a spicy discussion about the difference between building momentum and finding motivation to work towards our goals or intentions that we have set for ourselves in life or in the new year!

Head over to Instagram to let me know what you thought of today's episode and how you're going to harness momentum instead of chasing motivation! 

OH I MADE THE TITLE RHYME so I'm going to sit here in this moment a little longer --

Ok. We're good now. Welcome to our LAST EPISODE!!! of 2021. Today we're wrapping up this mini-segment on actions and goals and values by talking about intentions (words, phrases, etc) that will help tie us to values and keep us motivated to continue to push forward, even on the dark days.

Credit where credit is due - Dr. Meghan Powell (aka friend and guest of the show) was the inspiration for today's episode. You can get on her journal email list here! and check out our podcast here! 

Today is episode 100 -- so first off, THANK YOU. Thank you for showing up, for listening, and for laughing with me as we bloom where we are planted and grow through what we go through. I cannot say thank you enough for all of the relationships (both known and unknown) that the podcast has provided to me.

Secondly, today's episode is all about shifting your perspective for future goal-setting to include a more values-oriented approach to not only goal-setting, but decision making and boundary setting as well.

I mention several previous episodes of the podcast. You can find those here, here, and here.

The link to the free values worksheet can be found here. 

Today's episode is a passionate, fiery discussion about leaving behind old traditions that no longer serve you in pursuit of traditions that truly light your soul on fire and bring you joy.

We're really getting into dissecting the thought of doing something "just because that's the way it has always been done" (spoiler alert: I can't stand that phrase.)
