🎙️ Hello, everybody, and welcome to the podcast, which has also become like my life, basically. So it's just me today, which is awesome because I can't wait to share what I've been up to and what's going on. I'm coming up on two pretty big milestones, both of which I thought would never happen, but here we are. I'm talking about the one-year anniversary of my sobriety and the one-year anniversary of my podcast. Which is why I thought it was fitting to talk today about dreams and how you can start on your path toward your passion once you allow yourself to see the vision. So tune in, turn up the volume, and get ready for the newest episode of "I Wish I Never Said That."

👉 This show wouldn't be possible without you, so thank you for listening. I'm on a mission to create the biggest platform and the best community for mental health, and I'm so glad that you're here with me on this journey. If you like what we're all about, then share this episode with a friend, download and subscribe for my latest episodes, and follow me on Instagram. Oh, and let me know what you think by leaving a review. You're the best!

🎙️ Do you ever wonder if we've got the whole leadership thing all wrong these days? I mean, if I asked you to picture a leader, you'd likely conjure up this mental image of someone who's got a certain look, talks a certain way, and maybe even seems like they've got it all going on. But here's the deal: we often rely way too much on what other people think when it comes to deciding if we're leadership material. But guess what? Instead, according to Alex Kuhn, just being yourself is enough to lead the way in this crazy world. So, grab a seat and join us for a laid-back chat about chasing your passions, staying true as a leader, and how Alex and his crew are helping folks make their dreams happen.

👉 Alex founded Born to Lead® in 2020 with a simple mission, to make sure good people win in business. In 3 years, he has built one of the fastest-growing coaching companies in the world.

He finally broke through in 2014, when we started and sold the first of his two companies in 18 months. Today, he is an investor in 14 other companies and most importantly, leaves the office by 5 pm to spend nights with his better half, Amanda, and his two biggest inspirations, Lincoln and Vivian.

🎙️ Who would have thought that a series of events including not one -- but two divorces led to Marissa Baker and Patty Kulak to finding true friendship and redefining what a healthy and happy relationship can be. The two friends who first bonded over their ended-relationships, share how through their experiences they've discovered that they're their best version of themselves when they're around... well each other. So, they decided that they'll live together and since then the two best friends have flourished, finding a renewed source of energy, passion and emotional strength.

👉 Check this out. Patty and Marissa are both sober and curious, meaning they don't always drink. In fact, they rarely do. But when they do, they're very intentional about their decisions. It's a lifestyle they both enjoy, and it allows them to have a healthy relationship with alcohol without feeling the need to always drink. This is especially true in social settings. Understanding the bar isn't the only place you can meet friends, they started Sober Socials SWFL, where they host amazingly fun events without alcohol. Click below to find out more about how they're cultivating communities where there isn't the pressure to be in an altered state of mind to make connections.

🎙️Hello and welcome back to the I Wish I Never Said That podcast. Thank you for tuning in as we're joined by Raffela Mancuso who is a mental health and body inclusivity activist, content creator, and entrepreneur. She's here today to talk about a plus-size problem in society that has only gotten bigger and worse. We dive into how people communicate on the internet, the effects of social media on mental health, what body standards means for women, and much more.

👉 If this is your first time hearing about Raffela, then you're in for a treat. She started getting serious about Instagram in 2018 after she was turned away from mental health services at my university. That’s when she decided to start speaking up about her experiences so that others could feel less alone in their struggles and so more people could understand mental illness and body image issues in general. That all changed in 2020 when she made a post about thin privilege and how plus-size creators could say the same thing as a thin creator but they just get criticism and hatred and while their counterparts received love and praise.⁣ It accidentally went viral and she gained 20,000 followers overnight. ⁣ Now Raffela uses her platform to help amplify others’ voices who also deserve to be heard, and talk about the uncomfortable things that people didn’t want to talk about, like fatphobia.⁣ You should follow her as she posts

Hi everyone, I wanted to drop in and do an episode by myself to let you know what I've been up to and give you some exciting updates. It's been an amazing summer so far. If you're a fan of the show, then you know that got proposed to and said yes to my fiancée a few months ago. We recently traveled to Austin, TX for the first time and OMG, I can't believe we didn't come sooner. I’ll tell you all about our trip, including how we met world-famous comedian Dave Chapelle. This wasn’t by chance either - I manifested that I would meet him and the universe put us in the right place at the right time. So, I also give you the scoop on how you can start using manifestation in your life.

Lastly, I celebrated 10 months of sobriety from alcohol this August and what an enlightening journey it has been. I'm looking forward to my one-year mark but I reflect back on what I've learned so far and what these 10 months have done for my physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health.

She didn’t think it was normal for a 17 year-old to feel this way. To be so hopeless and abused.

But that’s exactly what Meredith was going through at that time in her life. At a much younger age she had experienced severe trauma. Being so young and scared, she didn't know what to do with her pain. So, like most people, she kept it inside only to have it come back and hit harder that it did before. Even now, in the prime on her teenage years, the only thing she could feel were the walls closing in.

It was at that moment, in a miraculous fashion, that she reached out for help and got the life-saving advice that she needed. She’s here today to talk about mental health, becoming more vulnerable, reconnecting with her younger self, and the uplifting journey that has opened many doors for her. These days, she’s a reiki-inspired coach and her sharing her newfound sense of spirituality to help others realize their potential. All the way from the U.K., it’s Meredith Cairns-Palmer on I Wish I Never Said That.

Is your life an anxiety roller coaster? Do you experience anxiety and you're not 100% sure why it’s happening or how to stop it?

Then listen up, because I'm joined today by Australia's #1 anxiety coach for women, podcast host, an author of the book "The Anxiety Reset Method: Master Your Anxious Mind in 12 Weeks" Georgie Collinson. Her work and methods center around resolving stubborn anxiety and negative self-talk and transforming it into a steady source of calm, confidence, and self-love. 

Georgie talks about her own experience with high-functioning anxiety, a term to describe people who suffer from anxiety but can achieve and succeed in life. This type of anxiety is especially deceiving because from the outside it looks like you have it all together, so the symptoms can go unnoticed, and most times go untreated.

In our conversation today, we talk about her Anxiety Reset Method and how you can use it to rid yourself of your anxiety, stress, and self-doubt and begin working towards unlocking your unlimited human potential. You'll learn valuable insights about your mind, your spirit, and hear firsthand how Georgie and her Anxiety Reset Method has helped women overcome the burdens of anxiety.
