Her Life Out Loud

Did you wear a pair of pants today where the fabric was sewn just right to make the camel toe look strong. No!! Just me.
Welcome to my life!!!

It changes on the regular, and there are ups + downs depending on life. Let’s be honest… starting a health journey can be scary. I remember freaking out at all times wondering what the heck I was doing. But I want to encourage you because once you start it changes and grows with you! That is the beauty of it all.

You got this!! Do it. Commit to it 100%. Show up for yourself. I promise you it makes you feel like a million dollars!! When you show up for yourself every single day…. Watch out world!! Taking this next step into a health journey is amazing because of all the amazing benefits you get from it. If you need the push or the encouragement…. reach out to me or a friend to help keep you accountable!!

You got this, sister!!

That nudge you feel inside of you... you know the one before the flood of 50 thousand other emotions and thought come flooding in... Yes, that one. Do it!!  Again, I need to warn you that the day I decided to record these podcasts I didn't realize I pushed a button that could potentially break an eardrum... So I do apologize if my sound is not on fleek. But at least your eardrum will not be broken.

It could have been that I was so excited to record this podcast. Which means my voice probably got in the red on its own without the help of my button mistake. 

New Day.

Are you ready??

Yep, there is going to be fear telling you to stop. To play it safe. But where is the fun in that? Start the thing that is so deep in your soul it hurts. You are not alone. The one thing I learned from listening to Jasmine Star's podcast, "Action creates clarity." So many of us stand on the sidelines waiting for the signs, waiting for the fear to leave and the clarity to come, but I will go ahead and tell you to START!! Starting will give you the clarity you need to know the next step

I want to hear what you plan on starting. Message me, let me know, and if you need just one other person to believe in you... Please message me. I will remind you to do the darn thing because we are in this life TOGETHER!!!

Let's get this week started off right with a Word of the Week podcast coming straight from the heart. 

I probably should forewarn you about the sound. It is not terrible, but it might be a little loud sounding. We are learning all about starting a podcast over here, and well I guess my mic sound went up to 20, and it should sit nicely at 12.

There you have it friends. The real reel. Learning all the things along the way.

I am really excited to share this podcast with you this week. COMPARISON is something I have struggled with, and always need a reminder because it is so dang easy to compare with social media these days.

Comparison is the thief of JOY

Put in those headphones, turn up the volume (be careful on this one), and let's get to talking about how comparison can dim your light, put out your fire, and be the thief of joy. We don't have time for comparison in our lives. We have too many amazing things on our heart to share with the world.

Girl, take this week to really think of ways you find yourself comparing, and let's remove the temptation. Okurrrr?!?!

I can't wait to see how you shine your beautiful light to change this world.

Listen Friends...

I go to THERAPY.

I started going to therapy, and it was the best thing I could have done for myself. I decided to record this episode for you because I am usually open about therapy, but there are a handful of people who have made me feel ashamed. Every once in awhile the shame comes over me, and I get nervous how others might respond.

Therapy is BAD

That is what I have been told most my life growing up in the church I went to, but the truth is, it has been the best thing for me, and for so many other women I have talked to. Maybe this episode is not for you, but maybe it is exactly what you need to hear because you have been told therapy is a terrible place to go. I personally have struggled with postpartum depression after both of my babies to the point I had to go to therapy due to the condition I was in, and I have now gone consistently for a year after everything happened with my daughter, Emery.

Not sure if therapy is for you??

I have had an ok therapist, and I now have one I LOVE!! It is so worth going so you can take the time to see if you will be compatible. You don't know until you meet each other. They are there to help give you the tools to work on the areas you might be struggling with in your life.

If you can't afford therapy look into community resources. There are a lot of mental health resources to help you or someone you know. It is worth asking and seeing what is available to you.
