In all my years living with depression, it was the way I allowed myself to think about myself, my circumstances and my life that caused me the most damage. It was all the negative thinking, all the self-criticism, all the hatred that infested me like an infection and led me down the darkest of paths when a depression episode, burn out, or a minor inconvenience came along. 

Think about the way you think. Change your mind, change your life. 

“Watch your thoughts, they become your words; watch your words, they become your actions; watch your actions, they become your habits; watch your habits, they become your character; watch your character, it becomes your destiny.” - Lao Tzu

In this episode we’re chatting about: 

🌸Rock bottom and the catalyst to my big life change 

🌸How to overcome the nasty voice of criticism 

🌸Why your word choice matters

Today's books recommendations are specially selected for the woman who feels a lack of self worth, self control, and need for self preservation due to the condition of her home.

You'll shift your mindset and find your self worth and peace of mind. You'll learn from principles that have been around for over 30=-+ years, a neurodivergent therapist and my own personal mentor and friend who taught me the importance of less and letting go.

🌸 The power of a new mindset and strong habits

🌸 The need to give yourself grace to be yourself in the process 

🌸 The importance of mentorship and community

Have you ever wished you could just “be a better mom?” Are you currently dealing with anger that's spiraling out of control and causing harm, while also experiencing intense feelings of mom guilt and shame? 

Today I’m resharing one of my favorite raw and real conversations about the darkness of mom rage with Elizabeth. In this episode you’ll hear Elizabeth’s story of her “rock bottom - mom moment” and how she learned to change the way she chooses to show up and be the mom she always knew she could be. 

Elizabeth is a stress coach for Christian moms. She is the host of Emotionally Healthy Legacy podcast and a mom of 4. Elizabeth is super passionate about mental health and emotional wellness in motherhood. She supports stressed Christian moms in overcoming anger and embracing emotional stability, empowering them to leave an emotionally healthy legacy for their children's lives.
