Chapter 29: The Life Manual for Healing in your 20s

Whether it’s dealing with chronic UTI’s or a parent with cancer, so many of us experience chronic illness at some point in our 20s. It could be your own medical journey or having to help a loved one through theirs–regardless, it’s not easy to navigate. But what if I told you that shifting your mindset and practicing self-love can actually aid your physical wellness? 

Today, we are speaking with Dana Croschere and Krisanna Sexton, the masterminds behind the film “Love Heals.” After supporting one another through chronic illness within their relationship, they are now on a mission to spread love, health, and healing. Dana and Krisanna took 18 people to a retreat center in Sedona, AZ to work on healing in nontraditional ways, and they have used the film to share with the world their stories and the power of using the mind-body connection to heal yourself. 

THIS EPISODE’S SYLLABUS STEPS: 

Here are some of Dana and Krisanna's tips on healing yourself through self-love:

- Check in with yourself. Ask yourself, what do I need?

- Find time to be quiet with yourself and engage in some kind of meditation daily.

- Start to trust your intuition.

- Obtain “heart-brain coherence” by connecting your brain and your heart. Practice breathing while putting your hand on your heart and bringing up whatever emotions you're feeling. Take breaths envisioning positive emotions moving in and out of your heart space to calm your nervous system. 

- Take intentional time away from your phone and connect with nature.

- Know that you are your own best healer and everything else is just mirroring back what you already know deep down. 

To see their film “Love Heals,” visit their website here. Subscribers to Gaia can also view the film on the app. They are currently working on their next film, “Rescued Hearts,” and you can stay tuned for updates here. 

Additional resources Dana and Krisanna recommend:

- The book “Dying to Be Me” by Anita Moorjani

- Joe Dispenza meditations 

- Tony Robbins trainings 

- Lee Harris personal development coach

Chapter 28: The Life Manual for Finding Stewardship in your 20's

Maybe you’ve been saying you want a new job for months, but you still haven’t started applying. Or, maybe you open your computer to check your bank account, but you just can’t get yourself to do it. Maybe you need to move out, but you’re avoiding scheduling apartment tours. We’ve all been there–pushing away these big, scary things in our 20s because we don’t want to deal with them. 

But we all know that if you don’t preside over your fears, they’ll only continue to grow. Like guest speaker, Shelyna Brown, says: just like a judge in a courtroom, you have the power to preside over your own life. 

Shelyna is a visionary leader and advocate for justice. With a two-decade career as a public defender and respected Superior Court judge in Santa Clara, she has since founded the Equality and Social Justice Committee to mentor the next generation of young leaders at San Jose State University. As an author and speaker, Shelyna offers all of us 20-something-year-olds incredible insight into how to preside over our own lives and take control over our realities. Together, we’ll be chatting about how to take radical responsibility for your healing, preside over your fears, make big decisions with ease, and trust that the universe has your back. 

THIS EPISODE’S SYLLABUS STEPS: 

Shelyna’s steps on how to take control of your life: 

Assess your mindset. Ask yourself: Am I presiding over my mindset? Am I choosing my reality? 

Assess your heartset. Ask yourself: What is it I believe about myself?

Assess your skill set. Ask yourself: Am I doing the things I want to be doing? 

Really sit down and love yourself. 

Here are some action items to remind yourself what you’re here in this world to do, being uniquely you:

Meditate and get quiet with yourself

Find an accountability partner with whom you can share your goals and keep each other accountable

Chapter 27: The Life Manual for Personal Development

When was the last time you were driving and hit a series of green lights on the road? Rather than stopping and starting every few stop lights, you just happened to get green light after green light. For whatever reason, you were just in the flow. What did that feel like to you? 

Finding a flow state–whether it’s driving through green lights, hitting a big milestone in your career, finally being aligned in a romantic relationship, or just feeling like the universe is on your side–is an undeniably amazing feeling. 

But it’s not always easy to find this ideal flow state.

Today we’re chatting with Jason Crouse, also known as @saintsofflow on Instagram. As a “flow coach,” he empowers individuals and organizations to optimize their performance and achieve their personal and professional goals. Tune in as we spill all the secrets on how to truly achieve the flow state you’re craving in all areas of your life, from engaging in self-reflection to rewire your subconscious brain patterns, to fine tuning your environment to let in abundance. You might want to get a pen and paper for this one… Jason’s metaphors and syllabus steps are gonna be extra juicy. 

THIS EPISODE’S SYLLABUS STEPS: 

Figure out what “flow” means to you. Start asking yourself questions like, how can you make your environment more conducive to letting in flow? 

Get clear on what you want in life and what you want in the future. Map out your personal and professional goals. Imagine what being in “flow” would be like, and write it out. 

Listen to signals from the external world or any spiritual signs you may be receiving. For instance, if you walk past someone at a coffee shop and overhear something that inspires you or resonates with your goals, take it as a sign. Tune in. 

Continue to show up. Get to work. Chase your goals and believe that you can achieve this flow state. You will be amazed by where you can end up in a short amount of time with a strong commitment and belief in yourself.

Welcome to "Office Hours," where my therapist mama and I are your guides through the twists and turns of 20somethinghood, offering a multigenerational "she said, she said" perspective. In this heart-to-heart episode, my mom and I dive into the wild realm of dating, relationships, and sex in our 20s.

Growing up, I was fortunate to have a mom with whom I could comfortably share my vulnerabilities, dating experiences, and everything in between. She's been my unwavering support through the highs and lows, and now, she's here to provide that same support for you. <3

We recently had the pleasure of sitting down with two remarkable guest speakers, relationship coach Isabel Campanelli and coach Naomi Ruth. Together, we share our insights from these conversations, emphasizing my mom's key takeaways and offering a psychological background to help you thrive in your romantic relationships.

But that's not all— we'll also be addressing some of your burning questions. Regardless of what you're going through, remember: you've got this, and we've got you. xx

Share your thoughts, experiences, or questions with us on @regardlessthepod - we can't wait to hear from you! Your questions will be featured and answered during our Office Hours at the end of every month.

Chapter 26: The Life Manual for Sex and Dating 

POV: You finally made it back to his house after getting dinner and drinks. He closes the blinds, dims the lights, and maybe even asks Alexa to play the Weeknd radio station on Spotify. This was the moment you were waiting for all night. Or was it? Suddenly, you’re not so sure if you want to go all the way–after all, it’s only the second date. 

Sex (or lack thereof) is a huge part twentysomethinghood. And when we don’t properly learn about sex in school or normalize talking about it in our daily lives, it’s easy to abandon ourselves and feel confused or shameful in intimate situations. 

Today, we’re giving you the chapter in your life manual for dating that goes beyond the birds and the bees to help you have more fulfilling sexual experiences that serve your future self. 

Naomi Ruth is going to help us redefine sex to find self-love and empowerment in our intimate experiences. Naomi is a dedicated sex and relationship coach who founded Soulflame Coaching to provide individuals and couples with an approach to sex and love that fosters safety, trust, and confidence. Today, we’ll be discussing a fresh understanding of how sex physically alters the chemicals in your body, why we feel post-sex guilt, the importance of pleasuring yourself, and how to have hard conversations around sex while navigating hookup culture in our 20s.

THIS EPISODE’S SYLLABUS STEPS: 

Practice the Stoplight Method. Before putting yourself in an environment where it could get intimate, know what you want to do for sure (green light), know what you’re open to potentially exploring (yellow light), and know your hard boundaries (red light).

Have the “pleasure talk” before you are alone with your romantic partner. 

Practice pleasing yourself. When you know what you like, you’ll feel more empowered (and have more pleasure) when you are with your partner. 

Be intentional with your intimate relationships. Ask yourself questions like, What do I want from this experience? What do I want out of this relationship? And communicate with your partner to make sure you are on the same page. 

Above all, do not put anyone else’s pleasure, comfort, and safety above your own.

The gut. Hormones. And skin. In this minisode, we're about to get really personal.

Typically, I bring in a guest speaker for each episode. However, for this minisode, I wanted to share some of my own experiences and thoughts about the upcoming topic. Tune into these Real Talk minisodes to get a little bit more personal with me before each Regardless episode.

This week, we're talking about our physical health. In my early 20s, I went through so many struggles, from getting mono that led to a tonsillectomy to suffering from an eating disorder. Until about a year ago, I continued to neglect my health, and the result of how I treated my body is showing up in chronic health issues I'm struggling with right now (think: I've had 13 UTI's in the last year. RIP my sanity).

For the first time in my life, at the age of 26, I now truly realize the importance of taking care of my physical health. And I'm so excited to open up this conversation in our next Regardless episode so you can all properly set yourselves up for the rest of 20somethinghood and beyond.

Chapter 25: The Life Manual for Dating and Finding Self-Love in your 20s

“So I just got married…to myself.” 

Isabel Campanelli is a relationship coach and guide who helps individuals realize that anything is possible and that everyone is worthy of love. And she just got married to herself in a beautiful ceremony celebrating self-love. 

Tune in as we talk about what it means to truly move beyond the typical notion of self-love and the benefit of deeply committing to your inner growth. Isabel will walk us through the ins and outs of her wedding, from how she crafted her vows to the metaphorical and spiritual party favors she gave out to her guests. We’ll also discuss how to navigate dating in your 20s and manifest your perfect partner, operating from the mindset of knowing you can (1) be complete with yourself AND (2) also be open to creating a beautiful romantic partnership with someone else.  

THIS EPISODE’S SYLLABUS STEPS: 

Practice embodying and accepting all parts of yourself. 

To do this, Isabel recommends:

IFS: internal family systems therapeutic practice  

Deeply looking at all the voices in our head of all the different archetypes that we carry. This might be a voice in your head that is a people pleaser or chronic self-sabotager, for instance.

Remember, all of your flawed internal voices stem from trauma. Once you invest time into seeking self love, you can heal your trauma and come to accept all parts of yourself.

Feel all the feelings. Our feelings have messages. Listen. Slow down to receive. If you’re moving too fast, it’s hard to feel and receive.
