How we think as women can be the best and worst thing for us.  

I get it as a woman, but I also find it fascinating to break it down. 

This helps us as women feel seen, heard, understood and today let's challenge it! 

Hey Men! This is for you too.  It will help you get into our thinking and also see it (really) isn't always your fault :) 

From dieting* to dating to doing we are constantly thinking of what is right, wrong, and the actual direction.  Today's episode breaks that down. 

Let's get into it! 

*I reference in the dieting portion an article. Click here to access it! 

Dating in 2019 can be tricky.  From swiping left/right on an app for your match TO figuring out what you enjoy and don't can make it all so tricky and downright not fun.   

In this episode, my good friend, Joel Carmona teaches a thing or two on what it's like out there. SPOILER ALERT -- Dating can be FUN!!!

Joel's background has him around people ALL.THE.TIME. A personal trainer by day and bartender by night.  He has seen a lot go down in front of his eyes when it comes to dating.    

Joel and I had some fun on today's episode.  You will hear us talk about 3 areas of dating that we found important to touch on. 

(1) Dating while you are single 
(2) Dating within your relationship
and the most important of them all ...
(3) Dating yourself 

I hope you enjoy this episode just as much as I did! 

Becky Jennings is one of those women that you will feel strength and love from.  

January of 2019 her whole world turned upside down when she lost her son at 38.5 weeks pregnant. 

She shares her journey and how she went from deep sorrow led to deep meaning. 

Grief is hard to navigate, so is life in general.  That is why these conversations are so meaningful to me to have to help us all have a piece of each other's journey to help us keep going.  

Our story and the story we tell ourselves to be true ... matters.

I was told the story in more or less words, “you’re the pretty, athletic girl”. Then I told myself the story in more or less words, “you’re only that and will never be smart enough to amount to anything more”. How a few words that can be (and is) a compliment turned into a story of words that I gave way too much power to in my youth to adulthood.

Step into today’s podcast on LOVE TALKS, on why I believe, very much believe, words matter. We have a way of taking people’s words in, allowing our own self-talk to guide us and ultimately giving it power. This works in a positive and negative effect. 

That's why I wanted to break it down on:

1-  how you can be uber aware of this
2 - take these words into your own hands

We can’t control what others say to us and about us. But, we can take control of how we take it in and exude it out into the world.

Ironically, this episode made me very insecure that my words weren’t flowing. The story of not being smart enough popped up. You’ll hear it in my voice and I own it at times during the episode. We have these words said to us or said by us and we give it power (positive or negative). I’m sharing how I handle it when, not if, when it comes back up and how I use it to my benefit me vs. against myself. #wordsmatter #lovetalks

I started this 3 part series out of intuition.  I knew over the last 365 days a lot has shifted and I wanted it to come out of me what has shifted physically and emotionally.  More has shifted (and will continue to) over the last few weeks I have recorded this 3 part series.  We're all learning something daily. Take this episode and the other 3 as an opportunity to check in on what you have learned recently, what milestone you have reached, and where you want to go.  It's easy for us to forget all we have accomplished. It's easy for us to put ourselves down in the setbacks in life.  This piece by piece hard work is where we start to mold carefully what we believe is the best for our individual life.  No blueprint to this but there is pockets of light that can bring a calmness to you. See you in there.  Thank you for the time, patience and kindness over the last 365 days (and more). 

It seems like everyone has it figured out but you, right? Please know deep deep deep down that is so wrong.  But I see that when you're in the thick of its very hard to see that pocket of light.  Here is that piece of light from a 3 part series of "What I am learning" from what was the darkest, roughest, and most gut-wrenching year of my life. I wish I was being "dramatic" or just saying those words. That would mean I didn't really feel them and experience that but I am intentional with those words but it is my truth. Now, I don't wish this upon anyone but I am proud to be standing and sharing with you today and every day you allow me after that.

Much love today and tomorrow. I will see you guys in there for this 3 part series.   

When the teacher becomes the student, it is a powerful experience. 

I am uncovering what lessons I have been learning. A little different dialogue than my normal but this is where I am currently and what to share with you. 

Healing is a very tricky subject and I want to simply talk to you about it.  Let's jump in there and see what this process looks like for your. 

I take you through a few steps that has served me greatly during a healing season of my life. 

1. Check your ego at the door. 
2. Judge on paper
3. Time and patience 
4. Love yourself fiercely (and what does that look like for you)

All of this holds power to you.  It is a scary but yet invigorating thought. 

Jump in to start, continue, or fine tune your healing journey. 

Much love, 
Kim
