It’s time to remove blocks to your success and embody your best self.

Today’s guest is a special one - my very own therapist, Mitzi Wood, LCSW. 

You’re getting a sneak peek into the work I do in my very own therapy sessions, as Mitzi and I dive deep into the subject of self-worth, and how the language we use every day (and in our heads) matters more than we realize. 

Mitzi Z. Wood, LCSW is a Spiritual Life Coach, Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Meditation Teacher, and Transformational Healer, and she’s been doing spiritually connected work for over 35 years. Her specialty is connecting people to their inner spirituality and creating lasting change on a deeper connected level, helping clients from all walks of life make with their spiritual belief system fall in line with their true and authentic self. This process aids in reducing anxiety, relieving depression, and living a more purpose-driven life. From entrepreneurs to everyday men and women, Mitzi’s work is life-changing and her clients agree.

It’s all about connection on today’s podcast as we go deep, get uncomfortable, and discuss how to unleash worthiness from within.

Have you ever felt like something was off? Like no matter what you did to FEEL GOOD, there's still this feeling of blah? Yup, I get it. Today I'm sharing a few things that will hopefully inspire you to look at your surroundings and spark a much-needed change. Personally, I have felt a sense of heaviness within me in spite of all the healthy decisions I have made in my life. But yet, something still felt off. I was carrying the guilt of my miscarriage for two years and I finally feel like that weight has been lifted. I share more about this in today's solo episode.

How can you bring more structure and discipline into your life?

In this episode, my guest, Jordan Gill, highlights the importance of prioritizing oneself and getting to know what’s essential or non-essential in one’s life - be it with love, career or friendships. She stresses how vital it is to sort your work by date, urgency and sections. It is better to work with a few files that are essential, than with a year's worth of outdated papers and notices.

Getting organized and knowing your essentials might just propel you to your goals sooner than you imagined. 

Jordan Gill, an operations consultant and founder of Systems Saved Me, helps overworked “one-woman shows” become streamlined solopreneurs. She is all about creating a cohesive operating system to organize your tasks, files, and inbox. Jordan helps women think differently about getting organized and being a well-directed, goal-oriented entrepreneur.

What is an emotional trigger and why do we need to know what our triggers are? Simply state, emotional triggers are anything that make us uncomfortable. A trigger can be happening in the moment or can be something that has happened in your mind, either as a memory or thought. When you are aware of your triggers, and equip yourself with healthy coping strategies and responses, you no longer are being controlled by everyone and everything around you. YOU become the eye of the storm. YOU choose what and who you allow into your inner circle.

Today's episode is pulling back the curtain to let you in on how being raised as an Indian girl has directly affected my relationship to my body. Whether you're Indian or not, as women we have been trained to think that our bodies are something to be feared and ashamed of showing. Our bodies hold the answers to everything we have ever questioned. If we're taught to fear, loathe, and push our bodies to the point of exhaustion-- how can we ever slow down enough to LISTEN to the what our bodies are saying to us? For all the women out there who are done abandoning and betraying themselves...this episode is for you.

It's time to get real about the root of self-care and how our self-care practices seep into all aspects of our lives.

Today I am joined by Tamika Lewis, a cognitive behavioral therapist and founder of WOC therapy. Tamika shares the importance of self-care and valuable questions to ask yourself to begin your self-care journey no matter where you are in your personal growth journey.

Tamika explains how our ideas of self-care originated with our mothers. And the way they gave themselves permission to step out of the many roles that they play, give themselves space to breathe and give themselves time to be women.

I grew up with a very overworked mother who was successful at the expense of her presence, attention, energy, and time. I am so grateful for her, but the patterns she taught me about self-care do not have to be the patterns I continue in my own life. Just as the patterns from your family do not have to be the way your self-care practices continue to go.

Tamika explains the 4 steps to building a positive self-care system for yourself, that is sustainable and digs deep into the root of why you treat yourself the way you do. 

If your self-care is non-existent or you are always feeling overwhelmed, overworked, or having a rough time in relationships of any type— then this episode is for you. Tamika is a powerhouse of relationship knowledge in every sense of the phrase. It’s time to put in the work, to invest in yourself and overcome those mental health obstacles because you are worth it!

In this episode I share what I'm doing more of/less of and adding into my life and business so I can impact more people. You'll learn how I'm incorporating ancient Hindu rituals from my childhood into my present-day mindfulness practice. Recently, I have been feeling something inside of me that needed to change both energetically and in my business. They're all connected as we are WHOLE human beings and can’t deny or ignore parts of us.

We have to take the time and give the attention to our soul and what it is asking of us.

We're going to deal with the seasons of change. When you've got too many projects, you'll find yourself scattered and anxious. You'll lose sight of what matters the most to you. We've just begun Fall and it's the PERFECT time to reassess and regroup so we can focus on our most high-value priorities. So it's time to get rooted in your CORE authentic values.
