In this episode, I'm diving deep into the pervasive mindset that often sabotages our well-being— the infamous "I deserve this" mentality. I explored how this mindset impacts our lives, hurting our relationship with money, health, and overall happiness. Our societal conditioning often leads us to justify impulsive decisions under the guise of self-reward, ultimately hindering our long-term goals and leaving us chasing fleeting moments of satisfaction.

You'll learn about the marathon mindset that helps you shift from wanting immediate needs met to having healthy boundaries with yourself. Our goals are impacted by our dedication to them, and in today's episode, I explore how letting go of the "I deserve it" mindset is the key to reaching them faster.

In this episode, I interview Bevin Farrand about the importance of finding one's tribe or community to support us throughout our lives. Bevin shares her personal experiences and the challenges she faced after the unexpected loss of her husband. She talks about the significance of building a supportive network and cultivating relationships that fulfill our needs.

We share about the understanding that our tribe may change over time, and it's important to recognize when certain relationships have served their purpose and come to an end. We get into the importance of holding boundaries and not expecting one person, such as a partner, to fulfill all our needs.

Bevin shares the type of people you want in your tribe and how to start asking for what you need versus hoping you'll find it. It's important we actively seek out our tribe or community that can contribute to our overall well-being and balance in life.

In today's episode, we're going to explore the difference between being stressed out and experiencing burnout. These terms are often used interchangeably, but it's important to understand their distinct meanings. We've received a great question from one of our Instagram followers about this topic, and I'm excited to dive in with you all.

It's crucial to acknowledge that burnout is not the same as being stressed out. Burnout is a slow burn that develops over time and requires significant recovery efforts. Using the terminology correctly is essential because our brains shape our reality based on the words we speak. By repeatedly saying we're burnt out when we're actually stressed out, we reinforce the mindset and environment that fosters burnout.

Learn the three areas of burnout and what the actual definition of stressed out is in today's episode, so you know what you are experiencing. And of course if you need support, don't hesitate to reach out to me at [email protected].
