Key Points from this Episode:

• Move and Don't Die in the Fire, that is, coming up with decisions and putting into action things that must be done to reduce anxiety and depression.
• Anxiety is a Man-Made Condition; it isn't natural but considered to be man-made, and that this is adapted by people from their environment.
• Get Off of Social Media is one of the five key points if one wants to reduce anxiety, including its negative impact on mental health. 
• Stop pouring and fill your cup, emphasizing the need to take care of oneself first and fill your own cup before thinking of others.

• Changing your number is a good way to disconnect from people who are using and draining one's energy.

• Letting Go of Negative Habits, including its patterns, can prevent high-achieving women from accessing their full potential and eventually can lead to success. 

• The presence of supportive people is essential because they are genuinely supportive of you rather than just interested in what you can do for them.

Tweetables by Christy Rutherford: 

"I'm frustrated from listening to women talk about ending up in the hospital having blood transfusions being in the hospital ICU for two weeks because they were unwilling to do anything about what they have been complaining about for years. This is a life and death situation."

"Get off social media and save your own mental health first. Because you're looking at everybody, you're comparing yourself to other people, and you're not being who you are."

 "You're not in alignment with who you are, the great woman that you are, and you're pretending to be somebody else so you can be liked."

"Depression is when you relive your past more than you focus on where you're going in your future."

"Those same people cared about me; a hundred people cared about what I could do for them. They didn't look for me past outside of what I could no longer serve them in. So are y'all only giving away your gifts and what you can do for other people, and you leave nothing for yourself?"

In this episode of Why She's Winning, Aleeta Gardner sheds light on how to navigate the uncertain waves of life. Learn valuable insights into identifying when it’s time to let go and trust that everything will unfold in its own divine timing.

Aleeta learned a powerful lesson, that the world would rather keep her conforming than allowing her to spread her wings and pursue what she was meant to do in life. Her realization of this issue helped open her eyes and allowed her to release control from the negative thoughts that were taking up too much space in her head. She soon understood the battles she faced were mainly manufactured in her own mind.

She then began focusing on parenting herself in ways that pushed her beyond a life of conformity, understanding that success does not have to be monetary-based; one can acquire joy, peace, and freedom without money through reclaiming control.

In Aleeta's case, learning about releasing control enabled her to understand why she was constantly being told to be quiet rather than challenge the status quo.

• Aleeta shared the biggest lesson she learned from Earl Nightingale, which is “Whatever is planted in your mind, it will grow, especially, if you water and feed it”.
• She also talked about how her friend helped her to take on a mantra of "Greater is Here" instead of "Greater is Coming."
• Then, Aleeta talked about one of her realizations, which is, it's okay to ask for help when needed, as well as, to be open to receiving what God may have planned for them. 
• Lastly, we discussed the importance of recognizing the role that one plays in their own misery, rather than blaming others.
