We're all familiar with the concept of a "brain dump" at this point, right? Does just the thought of that leave anyone else with crippling anxiety?

Join us as we discuss this concept that we've used all over the place in the Reclaim Guide (just not named "dump and bump" until recently) to help you prioritize and identify things that are no longer serving you and things that are not within your control to change, so stop worrying about them!

Oh! And check out our FREE Intro to the Dump and Bump strategy here.

Last week we got to listen in as Brandi discussed the concept of peaceful productivity at Connect and Collaborate and part of that is Productive Rest. When we first started discussing the concept of peaceful productivity and productive rest, it caused a bit of resistance. This resistance was entirely due to the fact that the concept of productivity brings to mind this hustle culture so prominent in our society today.

Keep going. Keep grinding. Don't quit. No pain no gain. Blah blah blah blah blah.

The truth is, true productivity is defined by efficiency of input to achieve maximum output. In order to be efficient, you have to rest. However, not all rest is the same.

Today, we will discuss 4 key concepts in productive rest:

1 - The impact of nature on our emotional wellness.

2 - The impact of effective sleep.

3 - The negative impact of cortisol on rest.

4 - Resting with your mind compared to resting with your body.

When I think of productivity, I think early morning alarms, too much coffee, pencil skirt suits (for some reason) and.... stress. So. Much. Stress.

But productivity, like everything else, can be healthy and unhealthy. In fact, what I've just described isn't even necessarily productive. It's just busy-ness. Join us as we listen in on Brandi's talk at Connect & Collaborate Littleton. Explore the concept of healthy productivity and productive rest as we dig in to this Productivity Mini-Series.

The phoenix is a creature of myth, said to be continually reborn; but in the rebirth, the creature is caught up in flame and only reborn from the ashes. This series is rooted in that myth, in that those of us who have gone through the fire of abuse have faced a rebirth of a similar nature. Through flame and from ash, we are survivors. This month, we honor those stories by giving voice to the silenced.

*Trigger Warning*

A while ago, we did an episode titled "Silenced" and we told you that stories of abuse, particularly emotional abuse, are often twisted back on the victim who is then silenced by the abuser. We also told you that these stories need to be told. You deserve your voice to be heard.

This series is about giving voice to those stories. Some brave women have chosen to step forward. We understand that some of you may have similar stories and, for your safety, need to remain anonymous. We pledge that if you want your story heard, we will give it voice. You can send your personal story to [email protected] and we will read it here, so that you and all the women who have endured this abuse can know that you are not alone and that your abuser doesn't get the final say.

This month, we chose to highlight our brand new subscription box. Each box contains a piece of the guide to lead you through the month as you journey to self-discovery, a tea sample from Happy Lucky's in Fort Collins and a hand-made bracelet to match the theme. Upgrade to our luxury box to receive a book correlating with the theme and a sample of bath salts from Pixiefly in Loveland. Get yours here: ⁠⁠stan.store/reclaimyourstory⁠⁠

Welcome to another episode of Brandi's Bookshelf. Today we will be discussing "Power: Surviving and Thriving After Narcissistic Abuse" by Shahida Arabi.

*Trigger warning*

This episode is a conversation entirely about narcissistic and post-separation abuse. Please listen or view with caution if you have experienced this type of trauma.

Brandi's definition of being in a relationship with a narcissist is a slow slip into hell with no stairs, and after a while you believe you belong there. But there is hope. This relationship doesn't have to destroy you and it doesn't have to DEFINE you forever. We encourage you to pick up a copy of "Power" and begin to take hold of the rope that leads out of the pit and into survival.

In this episode, Brandi will share with you Shahida Arabi's 7 tips covering "reverse discourse".

1 - Talking back - journals are your best friend!

2 - Word Replacement - create your narrative.

3 - Framing Connotation - upon reflection, we left the bleep off.

4 - Use What's Said to Prove Them Wrong - 'nuff said

5 - Triangulate Them Back - this is where you need your support system.

6 - Gaslighting - validate and affirm your own truths.

7 - Devaluing - turn it right round, baby.

And remember, everything said to you by a narcissist is a projection of their own fears and insecurities. Affirm yourself in what you know is true.

Welcome to our last episode in the WORior series! We couldn't leave this one alone without talking about kicking some actual butt.

In all seriousness, we would be naive to think that we can avoid thinking about physical confrontation. Hopefully, we won't have to experience it, but it's always better to be aware and prepared.
