Make Your Damn Bed episodes

  • Day 161 || Reassurance Reassurance

    We can improve our empathy skills by listening with genuine curiosity, putting ourself in other people’s shoes by asking ourselves “what if it was me” as they share their stories, and responding with our heart rather than just our head. When we can allow for feelings in our responses rather than only focusing on logic - we account for more of the whole picture. People are emotional beings - do disregard that would be to miss out on one of the most interesting and beautiful parts of humanity. 

    @MYDBpodcast is a real talk, daily motivation podcast to play while you make your bed every morning. Build momentum - better your life.

  • Day 160 || We've All Got Baggage

    It’s hard to remember that we’re not better than anyone even if they’re further behind on their healing journey than us - we have something to learn from everyone - don’t be surprised if it’s something about ourselves.

  • Day 158 || Pay Sh*t Off

    Don’t be afraid to tackle shit head on so it doesn’t come back to bite you in the ass later. We all have baggage. Life comes at us fast sometimes and it can feel like things are stacking up against us. The sooner we come to terms with the fact that financial and emotional bullshit is going to smack us in the face sometimes, the sooner we can address it and get back to focusing in on our favorite version of ourselves.

  • Day 157 || Recalibrating Relationships

    If I notice a friend becoming increasingly negative - I will associate them with negativity as a whole even if they only act that way 5% of the time - because I am hyper aware and focused on the behavior I am less aware of the times when they are not. My brain filters in their actions to prove a case that does not exist.

  • Day 156 || Repair Before You Trash It

    You have to recognize that not everything needs to be upended to be fixed. There is this mentality that we live in a world where we all want the best possible scenario for ourselves and that’s beautiful but we can lose humanity if were not careful. Communicating effectively in relationships take effort - you shouldn’t just back out of every relationship that is a little difficult.

  • Day 155 || You Badass, You

    Growth and healing will make your life immensely better but the process is ugly and brutal sometimes. I am proud of you for getting through it with grace and dignity (and sometimes not so much) and I promise it'll only get easier.

  • Day 154 || Joy is Triggering

    Simply choosing healing can be triggering for those who aren’t ready to do so. This loss is necessary to clear space for those who align with a more healed you. Luckily isolation is good for resting and reflecting and redirecting your attention towards the things that light you up as much as you light others up.

  • Day 153 || The Struggle is Real

    Just because we may have to go to the emergency room for certain injuries - doesn’t mean you want to ignore your splinters. It’s okay to feel down and out - even if the shit you’re feeling down and out about is petty. Usually, the stupidest shit sets me off. If I analyze why I can usually get to the bottom of my reaction and it’s typically triggered by a past experience but it always makes me feel so guilty and terrible when I get emotional over things that are seemingly harmless. Then the guilt sends me in a fun little spiral and we’re feeling extra terrible because of something silly which makes me feel even more ridiculous.

  • Day 152 || Successful Adaptations

    To me - Success is less about making millions and buying a huge house and going on luxe vacations and looking good on social media and it’s more about finding what is gonna feel the best in the long term.
