Imposter syndrome is when we know what we are doing, but doubt creeps in and tries to tell us that we are inadequate to do the task. Often it comes in as nervousness, anxiety, and fear. It can be crippling if we allow it because it can keep us from asking.
The thing is, we have to take a step back and evaluate, realizing that we are fully capable, that we have prepared for the task at hand, and have the necessary skills and training in order to pursue and go after the thing that is before us.
Often this can be as simple as deep breathing and recenter ourselves. This allows us to realize that often it is just our nerves that are firing up, which can be a good thing, as it can keep us on our toes, and helps us do the best we can.

While postpartum depression is often talked about and discussed, prenatal anxiety and depression is often ignored and not talked about altogether, but it can be just as real as postpartum. Some of the warning signs to look for include difficulty concentrating, loss of interest in things, feelings of worthlessness and more. These feelings are serious things that can affect us in very negative ways so it is important for us to understand.
The main thing to remember is that feeling any of these depressive thoughts, doesn't mean there is something wrong or that you are bad for not loving the experience of having a baby. It affects all of us differently and acknowledging that releases us to understand why we feel the way we feel.
Often we can feel unheard, especially if we are talking to our doctor about these feelings and they are not taking it seriously. Rest assured it can be serious, but it is also a normal occurrence and you don't have to feel like something is wrong with you. There are many counselors and therapists who specialize in this and can walk through it with you.

There are three stages of menopause, perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause. It can last on average five to seven years and sometimes be shorter or longer depending on the individual. It's important to realize that menopause can affect your day to day lives. It's important to stay on top of our health as we approach menopause stages and be aware of the symptoms.
Did you know that there are 34 symptoms related to menopause? While we shouldn't be afraid of menopause there are things we can do to better prepare ourselves as well as understand how it may affect us in different ways. It can feel like we are going crazy during this time, but before you jump to conclusions, reach out to your OBGYN or a therapist and discuss these symptoms with them.

When it comes to parenthood in general there are so many fears that we deal with. From money, to spending enough time with our kids, to dealing with our own insecurities and inadequacy. While both mothers and fathers deal with all of these feelings. With fathers it can be taboo to admit feeling these things, making it that much harder to deal with.
This is why it's just as, if not more important for men to reach out to someone to talk to, whether it's a trusted friend, family member, or seeking out a therapist. The main thing is, don't keep all these thoughts and feelings stuck inside. What you are doing is not going unseen, and it's important to keep being the best you possible.
Sometimes that means taking care of the feelings you are having. So rather than keeping them inward, don't be afraid to share, but welcome the opportunity to be real and honest with your thoughts and feelings.

When it comes to traveling it can already be filled with anxiety from flying, to staying in hotels and not being in complete control of your surroundings. Add in Covid-19 and it can be a very anxious experience. But there are steps you can take to ensure you are staying safe and avoiding contact with anything questionable.
In this episode I share about a recent travel experience I had and what it was like in the different cities I was in, how companies were making arrangements to provide levels of safety, and what I did on my own to ensure my health and safety was taken care of. Often the steps we need to take are not complicated; they just take some extra thought and a little bit extra effort, but the time and effort is worth having the peace of mind with you.
My goal with this episode is to show that being cautions and taking extra steps can help rid you of fear and getting through your travel experience as efficiently and safely as possible.

Regardless of who it is, a friend, family member, co-worker we all may experience someone who struggles with some type of addiction. It is important for us to know how to handle that in a healthy way. In this episode I discuss the importance of boundaries and how to set them up so that you can be sure to follow through with those boundaries.
In addition we have to set ourselves up for success, this includes having the proper resources on hand not only for the person struggling, but also for ourselves. And also setting goals. What do we want to accomplish, where do we want to be, and taking that hard look at ourselves and being honest with what is going on.
We have to remember that as someone dealing with an addict, they are not the only one going through things, but that you are dealing with things just as the addict is.

How do you differentiate between intuition and integrity? Intuition is that inner voice that we sometimes try to ignore and as a result of ignoring it, that voice continues to prod us until we listen and only then do we start to gain peace.
When we start to feel fear, it is usually insecurity creeping its head out. Usually insecurities come from past experiences we have gone through. When it comes to being able to discern between intuition and insecurity it requires us to have a pretty good level of trust, so we can step back and evaluate what is really happening rather than responding from a place of fear and not being able to really evaluate.
When we throw other relationships in the mix and are asking ourselves whether we are following our intuition or giving in to insecurities, it is very important to have honest discussions with the other person, and to actively listen so we really hear what is being told us, not what we assume is happening.

Responsibility is more along the lines of action. Responsibility can be shared, but when it comes to accountability it is the primary responsibility of the individual. It is important for us to be accountable in all our relationships, whether they are intimate relationships, friendships, or work related. What we realize is when we begin to take ownership for our wrongs, and our mess-ups, things become better relationally.
Accountability comes into play when we first listen to understand instead of listening to react, or waiting for the other person to finish so we can say what we want to. It requires us to accept the fact that maybe what the other person is saying is right, which is not alway easy to do. And sometimes it consists of us asking for forgiveness. It's easier to say we are sorry than it is to cause a fight over something that may not be too big of a deal.

When it comes to fixing others, we can have strong instinctual feelings that we need to help and ultimately fix the broken places in others. But we have to realize that we can't fix others and it is not our place. We can help guide, and help direct if we are invited into that healing process, but it is not our place to step in without being inviting, even if we see reason to do so.
Everyone's healing is their own journey. The best way to start helping others is to pour positivity into our children. We say that our children are our first priority, and we provide for them, but pouring into our children involves more than just providing for them. Are they heard? Are they being shown attention, and are we giving our time to them. This is the biggest thing we can do in order to prevent them growing up and being broken.

When I think I can't achieve something I stop myself and switch my thinking to, I can achieve this. Our words and our thoughts have so much power to affect not just our mindset, but to affect the physical around us. I truly believe there are three parts to manifestation. The first is thinking about it. We have to think it in our minds. The second is believing it. We have to believe it will happen. And third we have to say it, to actually speak it. These three things can help make things a reality.
This is a process and it takes time to develop the habits of manifestation. In this episode I want to introduce to you the idea of manifestation and walk you through how to begin making it a reality in your own life. I personally practice this and can assure you that manifestation brings amazing results.
