Happy Monday my uncomfy fam!

I hope you are ready for an incredible week and an episode where get real about what fear is really supposed to do for us in our lives and how you can practice harnessing those fears, to live a life that lights you up every single day!

We feel fear as humans because that sense of fear is what kept us alive against predators back in the day and kept us out of countless other life-threatening situations. But as we have evolved into the modern world, the things we need to fear physically that are life-threatening have lessened and changed. However, our sense of fear has often not evolved with us, even though we are not having our lives threatened consistently in such a drastic manner, we let fear control our decisions. We let fear run the show when really fear was meant to make us GO!

Happy Thursday AND the first day of October y’all! (I can't believe its October already omg!)

Today I am joined by my best friend Haley Henderson who is a thriving business owner and empowering person. Haley recently followed her heart tugs and started her own podcast called Step Up Step Out Podcast! (check it out if you haven’t already). 

In this episode, we are talking about mindset, and how your mindset could be the culprit to you being in a place that you are not happy in. But you know what is great about being in this place? 

YOU have the power to change it. 

YOU have the ability to follow your heart tugs and launch that podcast, launch that business, be that person that you dream of being. You can do it my friend, I believe in you!

Think of it this way, there is someone else out there in the same shoes as you, has the same amount of kids, in the same job as you, in the same situations as you, and they are doing the damn thing that makes them light up. Do you know what makes them different than you? They show up, they get out of that comfort zone and take messy action. We all start from ground zero, we all struggle, we all face challenges. But it is what you do with those challenges that will help you build a life that you love.

If you love this episode as much as I loved recording it leave me a review on apple podcasts and let me know what you learned or what you want to hear next!

Important moments to tune into in this personal development episode:

[2:30] Get to know Haley and how she became a personal development podcast host!

[7:32] How that thing you are avoiding could catapult you into your best life

[11:20] How to dive into your urges and give yourself permission to do that thing!

Welcome back, fam!

I am so grateful you are here and if this is your first episode, thank you for stopping by my new friend. This episode is a little different; we are going to shake things up by putting ourselves in the shoes of other people for a minute because this is something that so many of us do not do.  Even though we are all here sharing one earth, one lifeline, one cab, one bus, one gym, we hardly ever think of the people around us, and it is time to shake up that thought process.

So this week we are talking about how perspective shapes our reality, and how our perspective can sometimes lead us to judging others when we have no clue what the heck is going on in their lives. 

What if we all started to shift our perspective to a view where we consider the best in people, we show them grace for being a little in a rush or snappy, where we catch our judgemental thoughts without acting on them and shut them down. Because you never know how the love you show someone can affect someone else's day, their actions, their mood, their attitude or the way they will go on to treat other people.

I want to challenge you to start addressing judgement within yourself, and I am going to do this too because trust me I still have some judgemental thoughts that come into my mind. I am human too, but we can be the change we want to see in the world by doing small things like this guys. 

Share this episode with someone you think would benefit from this shift in perspective & dont forget to leave me a review down below with your thoughts! I love hearing from you. 

Important moments to tune in for in this personal development episode:

[3:30] Taking a look at two perspectives within one story

[10:10] Giving grace and putting yourself in other people's shoes.

[15:00] How to catch yourself in judgment and begin to do the work within yourself to stop it. 

[20:36] Challenging yourself to make a change.

Happy Monday fam!

Today I wanna dive into a talk that might be a little bit intense for some of you, but I want you to know that I am not trying to shame you or judge you. So if you are listening to this and at some point are like "ouch", then maybe it is something you should really apply to your life. Take this as your sign my friend, because I believe in you and through these uncomfy talks we are becoming our best selves.

This episode is all about intention and how that plays into excuses, complaints, and ultimately the success we see in our lives. It's human nature to complain about the things we don't have and make excuses about why we don't have it, and then accept it as not meant to be for us. When really the missing piece is intention. We often lack the intention behind what we want to work past the excuses that come up for us.

Bu think of it this way, we each get 24 hours in a day. You, me, your family, that person you admire, we all have 24 hours in a day and the only difference between you and them is the priorities you make with the intentions you set. You can have that bangin body, you can have that successful business, you can have it all. That is why in this episode, I share two excercises or practices that have changed my life and will change yours too!

You are a priority, it is time to truly act on that fact girlfriend. 

Because you do have time, and you are worth the energy! 

*** If you love this episode and want to hear more let me know in your 5 star review!! & don't forget to leave your IG handle so I can shout you out and tag you!

Powerful moments in this personal development podcast:

4:02 A practice to help you change your internal narrative so that you can reach your goals.

7:10 How to prioritize your time and use your time in a way that best serves you.

11:03 Why your life won't change in 5 years unless you start setting intentions

12:01 An exercise on how to start setting intentions and make yourself a priority.

16:07 How to prepare for the excuses that come with changing your routine.

If you listen to this podcast, you know we dish out the real, real, we give it how it is and don’t sugar coat anything. This episode is no different if you are someone who struggles with abuse, addiction, or anything along those lines. This episode might be triggering for you, but I encourage you to listen if that is you, because this episode may shed some light on the light at the end of the addiction tunnel.

This is a topic that has been highly requested in my DM’s, and I know that there are people out there who are struggling with addiction, whether it is a current or past addiction, or whether it is something that you may think is not strong enough to be considered an addiction. Addiction comes in all forms; it can come up as a food addiction or has a Netflix addiction. If you are finding yourself every Monday saying you will make a change and then giving up by Friday, it is time to break the cycle.

Our guest Anneke Gyulavary, is a naturopath student and certified personal trainer from Melbourne, Australia. She joins us to share her recovery story. She also shares with us why many people are predisposed to addiction due to abuse in our childhoods, and how she went from a small town gal with so many possibilities to being consumed by her addiction. 

Important moments to tune in for in this personal development podcast:

2:35 Anneka’s intro

5:04 The signs of addiction that Anneka now sees in her childhood that no one picked up on.

11:30 The real risk of testing with drugs and debunking ‘the gateway drug.’

19:30  Why Anneke sees addiction as a disease and realized her use of drugs was a problem.

23:17 How shame and guilt play a role in overcoming addiction and distract us from achieving the goals we set for ourselves.

28:10 What the steps of addiction recovery looked like for Anneke.

36:40 Where Anneke sees herself in the future.

39:50 Anneke’s hard NO and hell YES!

42:00 Anneke’s most embarrassing moment!

Today we are talking about confidence because there is a notion around that you are born with all the confidence you can have, that you are born with all the confidence you deserve and that my friends, is not even a little bit true.

In this episode, I share my journey to building my confidence and what my confidence was like in high school. What tools I cultivated to break the cycle of shame, guilt and belief that I was not worthy. So that I could become the empowered version of myself you see today.

My goal with this episode and telling you my stories is to call you to action, to take that leap and get yourself out of the mindset, out of the habit of thinking “if I am not confident, I guess that it is not going to happen for me, that is just not who I am.” Because confidence is like a muscle, you build it, you cultivate it by taking action every day and reinforcing your belief in yourself.

No one was born with confidence, not me, not that person you admire on Instagram, not even JLO was born with confidence. We each created it, and the cool thing about that is that YOU can do it too!

We each have the ability as humans to cultivate what we want in our lives, and that is exactly the case with confidence.

Powerful moments in this personal development podcast:

[1:36]  Our amazing Uncomfy fam 5-star review shout outs!

[3:46]  What you can do to have more “Annie” energy in your life.

[5:10]  Where my confidence was in high school,  how I broke out of shaming myself and pretending to be like someone else.

[8:50  How to create confidence. 

[10:23] How do you be better? Unlearn your limiting beliefs and grow your confidence?!

[14:49]  Why you should not feel guilty or shame yourself for where you are with your confidence in your life right now.

[15:02] Why taking action is the biggest leap you will take for your confidence, goals and life long dreams!

[22:25]  How I got to where I am with my confidence and how YOU can take the steps meant for you to have the confidence you want.

Today we are going to dive deep into the uncomfy conversations that happen around dieting, binge eating, and the mindset that can change it all for you, my friend!

I am joined by one of my incredible adventure buddies Caitlen Schmidt. Caitlen is a wonderful science nerd, who loves everything about human metabolism, nutrition, and wellness. She is on a mission to help women escape diet-ism and feel so good in their own skin that they wanna run around naked, and truly love themselves! In this episode, we are going in a totally different direction with our discussion around wanting to be a smaller pant size, counting macros, and intuitive eating. Both Caitlen and I have been in places where macros ran our lives, where restricting ourselves was the answer to feeling like we were worthy of loving ourselves or receiving love from others. But we are here to break that norm with the science behind your metabolism so that you can re-write your epic story around being healthy.

I hope that you are inspired by this episode to keep working on your self-love journey because you are not alone in this thought process, but you are so very loved. You are so very special because there is no one else in this entire world like you!
