Welcome to the Top Ten Podcast Episodes!  Today we start with number 10: Woman Guilt

If there is one emotion that I know that every women feels on a daily basis, it's GUILT.  We feel guilt about everything: What we eat, what we drink, the time we spend on ourselves, the money we spend on ourselves, etc.  We basically feel guilty about basically everything.  And honestly, it's so fucked up!  We feel guilty for taking up any space at all.  And that has to stop.  I'm breaking it all down in this episode and giving you some real tools to get started today.

I have been told I was too emotional my whole life.   I have always had big feelings and guess what?  That is never going to change.  AND it turns out that there is no such thing as being TOO emotional.  There is just you and your emotions and the truth of what that looks like for you.  We worry a lot about being too emotional and too much for other people, but instead we need to flip our thinking and supporting ourselves being the gorgeous emotional humans that we are.  Listen in to find out how.

This TikTok trend for Demure and Mindful seems like just a fun little trend.  But it's actually perpetuating a female stereotype that you are going to want to distance yourself from with a 10 foot pole.  You don't need to be more demure, or polite, or ladylike.  You do want to know how to be strong and capable to actually enjoy your life while you get to be yourself.  Give me 10 minutes to change how you think about yourself and watch your life change exponentially.  You deserve a big and strong life.

Stress.  We have all had it drilled into us that we have to reduce our stress, but how are we supposed to do that with our busy lives?  The truth is, if we had time for meditating and relaxing, we wouldn't be stressed, right?   Today I am going to show you a different way to think about stress.  Stress is a normal, human emotion.  We are supposed to feel it.  The issue is not that we experience stress, the issue is that the amount we feel is simply out of balance.  In today's episode, I'm going to share how you can reduce your stress without reducing the quality of your life or making you into a different person.  Let's go!

Hardship is a part of living.  Sometimes it can feel like there is no way to go through hardship without losing yourself to sadness, depression and hopelessness along the way.  I used to struggle with this too and I want to show you the way you can do it without getting emotionally lost.  Navigating hardship is something that can get a lot easier, when we know how to handle our emotions.  Today's episode is going to walk you through each step.

In this episode we cover:

- The unique experience of hardship (we are all just human)

- Grieving & handling emotions (how to do it in a way that you are not always falling apart)

- Managing emotions (what to really do to process emotions)

- Ways to experience happiness and joy when going through hardship

If you worry about what other people think, Congratulations!  This means you are human.  It's normal to worry what other people think, but that doesn't mean we need to consciously keep it that way.  One way to release what other people think, is to let them be wrong about you.  It's simple and it works.  Listen in to learn how to apply this in a way that can truly change your life and your ability to stop caring what other people think and instead start deciding what you want to think instead.

You might already know that making yourself a priority is something you should be doing, but did you know that it's actually the number one factor in creating a life you love living?  Without making yourself a priority, nothing in your life is going to work long-term.  It's one thing to know this, and it is completely another thing to implement it.  As women, we have been socialized for years to prioritize everything ahead of ourselves, including the family pet.  Today I break down why you need to change your priorities and how to do it in a way that actually sticks.

I think by now you probably know that being overly critical of yourself is making things harder for yourself.  But do you know WHY you criticize yourself?  It's not because you are somehow messed up, a lot of it has to do with how the human brain is designed to function.  Another big part of this is how we are raised and socialized as women.  You actually don't need to stop criticizing all the time, but you do need to have awareness for when you are being overly critical and know what to do instead.  That is what I am teaching you in today's episode.
