April 27, 2021 Ep. 74 ~ The Best of 2020 Replay: "Self-Care 101" The Prescription You Need w/Dr. Robyn L. Gobin
I can't stress enough, the importance of implementing self-care into our daily lives. As a woman wearing multiple hats, it's often difficult to actually stop to carve out time for myself. The last year or so has been an absolute struggle but I continue to remind myself of the importance of implementing self-care into my life. I know that if I am struggling, then someone else is struggling with this as well.
This week, I decided to go back to the vault and pull out some of the tools that can help all of us take the necessary steps to focus on self-care and preservation. This week's episode is a replay of an interview with Dr. Robyn L. Gobin, licensed clinical psychologist, associate professor and author. Dr. Gobin discusses her book, The Self-Care Prescription and shares insightful information about recognizing the signs of depression and anxiety; as well as helpful tips for managing self-care during a crisis. Dr. Gobin recently released the Self-Care Prescription Journal, a companion to the Self-Care Prescription book.

April 13, 2021 Ep. 72 ~ Self Preservation & Parenting From The Sideline
In this week's episode of Lite It Up, Dr. Aginah Musherah gives an update on implementing the seven tips shared from last week's episode of managing stress. As a self-proclaimed workaholic, finding time to rest or prioritize self, is often a struggle. Last week, Dr. Aginah managed to incorporate two tips into her routine: #2 Regular exercise (three days during the week) and #3 Rest. After experiencing a week filled with pain due to a medical issue, Dr. Aginah had to finally sit down and rest. The light bulb finally went off that self-preservation is key. The goal for the upcoming week is to implement the other tips into the day-to-day routine.
In addition to incorporating the tips for self-preservation, Dr. Aginah also faced another area of growth by learning how to parent from the sidelines. Parenting is the most important job you'll ever have. We have to teach our children everything we can. While we teach our children, we have to also learn how to let go and trust in the fact that we have prepared our children well. It's hard...but you can do it. Here are a few tips to focus on as you begin to parent from the sidelines while giving your children an opportunity to incorporate what you've taught them over the years:
1. Encourage your child/teen.
2. Stay positive.
3. Maintain open communication.
4. Let them do their thing.
