  • the Anxious Advantage
    As I've shifted to a more easygoing way of living - I've noticed that anxiety and I are no longer a thing. We still have a situationship, but it's been downgraded to more of a...friends with benefits sort of thing. I call her when I need her and she leaves me alone when I don't. It's perfect.
    As usual, a mindset shift got me here. Reality is perception, after all.

  • It's Good to be Full of Yourself

    Being full of yourself gets a bad wrap, but what if that trait is necessary? 

    Consider this conventionally "toxic" trait from another perspective for a moment. 

    • How would being full of yourself serve your life's mission? 
    • How would it impact others? 
    • Tap in as I plead my case (lol) for why we should all be full of ourselves.

    • Livin' for a Living

      Life is less hectic in the slow lane. 

      Breakfast has never been this flavorful.

      The birds are singing louder. The clouds have never been so interesting. Or maybe these things always have been this way, and I've been too busy to notice. Mental health awareness month is coming to a close. If you've listened to the past few episodes, you've probably noticed that my lifestyle has changed. The last episode of the series shares what I'm doing to incorporate a little more slowness into my life.


      Living slow has given me peace. Clarity. It's deepened my faith in the Universe. It's reminded me of what really matters.

      I realize this way of life isn't for everyone. That's perfectly okay, of course.

      If it's not, consider incorporating it's principals at least some of the time.
      Get intentional. Commit to the meaningful.

      Your sanity will thank you.

    • Is it a goal or an obstacle?
      There's a downside to goals that no one talks about.

      No one talks about what ambition does to our mental health. How the desire to succeed ignites bouts of insomnia. How the pangs of anxiety ripple through our consciousness because we don't yet have want we want so badly. How negative self-talk berates us for even thinking we have the audacity to go after something.


      I've been ambitious (and subsequently, anxious about my ambitions) as soon as I entered adulthood. That's 12 years of working my ass off and over-thinking my brain away. 12  years of dreaming, planning, breathing, executing my ambitions. 12 years is a lot of time to worry my way to the top. And it seemed as if, each level I graduated to was met with a whole new set of things to check off my list. When would I be finally happy?

      That's why, I finally put away my "ambition shoes". No more wanting, desiring, pushing. No more making such a big deal about what I want to achieve in my life that it becomes my life.


      Today's episode goes into detail about what I'm doing instead.

    • Why I Stopped Making Life Plans
      Yes, Girl. You read that correctly.

      Lemme explain myself. All our lives, we're told to strive, achieve, be motivated, stay productive, blah blah blah. After 15 years of being employed (damn...half my life), I'm tiiied. TY-ERD. Capital T.


      Why are we conditioned that our worth tied to what we do? Why is it the status quo to burn ourselves out and wear it like a badge of honor?

      I'm over it.

      Today's episode gives some more background info of how I got to this space and what I'm prioritizing instead.

      If you're over it too, hopefully this helps give you some perspective on deciding what's important for you.
