This week I am turning on the microphone and just giving it to you straight. I used to be a person who fell into a downward spiral of overwhelm and anxiety and had no idea it was happening or how to "get out of it". I now have the ability to recognize the spiral, but it doesn't make it easier to combat. It does, however show a lot of personal growth and we celebrate wins. I recently encountered a "slow burn" spiral which resulted in my need to simply take a break. I needed to check in with my body and mind, get quiet and ask what I needed. I'm talking about what happened, what I did to fix it, and some ideas you can use to combat spiraling. It's ok to give yourself permission to take a break. It will be ok. I swear! 

I also address why I had no uploaded a podcast. Part of which was a lack of feeling inspired but also my new puppy Buffy chewed the cord and I had to order another one! The joys of being a puppy Mom! Enjoy the episode.
