- Joy-ing: My journey in reflecting, redefining, and doing joy.Have you ever wondered why others seem to be smiling more frequently, laughing more deeply, or having more fun than you? If you recall the first episode, I described one of the biggest indicators of my burn out was my loss of joy. I didn’t see how hustling, achieving, and being productive could occur alongside joy. As I sat in deeper reflection this year, it became clear that joy had been something that seemed out of reach for most of my life. I had started to convince myself that joy wasn’t for me. I didn’t understand it, I was envious of those who seemed to be experiencing it, and yet I wondered if true joy was actually real. Listen in as I share what I have discovered about joy, my new definition, and how I’m doing it every single day!25 min
- Will I Have to Lay on a Couch: Demystifying the counseling experience with Dr. Michelle Ghoston.Will I have to lay on the couch? Will my therapist just tell me what to do? What if the clinician and I don’t “click?” If I go to counseling, does it mean I am “crazy?” Our mental health is important, especially right now when so much of our life feels a bit off course, disrupted, or unpredictable. In honor of National Suicide Prevention Month, I talk with Dr. Michelle Ghoston, Assistant Professor and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, to demystify the counseling process and experience, highlight the importance of strengthening and attending to our mental health, and validate the human experience in the midst of multiple pandemics.Dr. Ghoston is an Assistant Professor at Wake Forest University where she educates future mental health counselors. Her research is anchored in Social Justice and Equity; Cultural Competence and Awareness; Neuroscience; and Threat Assessment. She is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and has a private practice.National Suicide Hotline: 800-273-8255Sponsors:Deliberate Strength: @deliberate_strength; deliberatestrength.comiFlavour: @miFlavour; miflavour.com1 hr 1 min

- Watch your language!Episode Short Description:Who’s feeling the stress? Online work and school got you feeling overwhelmed? You, too? When we are feeling stressed, we don’t always think before we speak and we may unintentionally hurt, criticize, or minimize ourselves and others. In this week’s episode, Addy shares 4 words/phrases, in addition to the nonveral language, that keep us stuck and wasting our precious head and heart energy. Our language and word choice are so powerful and something we have control over (doesn’t some control sound nice right now?). Let’s learn to watch our language and be choosy with our words in an effort to live life more joyfully!Sponsors:Deliberate Strength: @deliberate_strength; deliberatestrength.comiFlavour: @miFlavour; miflavour.com39 min

- Finding joy in your health and fitness journey with Michelle ClarkI don’t know about you but working out hasn’t always been something I enjoy. Especially working out in public. No. Never. Not for me. I was too insecure about my gym outfit, knowledge of the gym equipment (what do all those machines really do?), and body. All of this coupled with mixed messages of what to eat - who knew some people refer to bananas as “sugar sticks,” I just didn’t think working out and feeling good in this way was for me. In this episode, Michelle Clark, my friend and gym owner debunks some myths, teaches us a different way to consider health and fitness, and inspires us to make little steps. And, guess what, you don’t have to wear matching gym clothes or understand all those machines... She’s the real deal and is here to help us out!Michelle is a coach and Co-owner of Deliberate Strength. As a Division I college athlete, a basketball player at Gonzaga University, sports and training has always been a part of Michelle’s life. Michelle was hired as an assistant coach after graduating and continued her studies earning a Master’s Degree in School Counseling. She loves developing relationships with people and fostering an environment of personal growth. She says, “ We want Deliberate Strength to be that place for people to come and feel uplifted in whatever it is they are trying to achieve."IG: @deliberate_strengthWeb: deliberatestrength.coSponsors:Deliberate Strength: @deliberate_strength; deliberatestrength.comiFlavour: @miFlavour; miflavour.com58 min

About That Green Dress Podcast
From the publisher's feed
A Podcast For Living Your Engaged and Joyful Life
That Green Dress is a podcast for women just like you. Women who have found this moment of loss, invisibility, confusion, a lack of motivation or inspiration, or even an increase in self-doubt that’s paralyzed us from the living the life we know we deserve.
The truth is, every environment, be it a workplace, home, a relationship, can leave us challenging our beliefs, our worth, and our value - am I doing enough professionally, being enough as a community member, I am attractive enough for my partner, am I making enough healthy meals for my kids…you know, doing ALL the things.
You may have your own version of a green dress, maybe your narrative is that you are a mom in the throws of motherhood and you’ve lost your femininity and identity and you want it back. Perhaps you are entering your second or third career in life and want your experience and history to be valued. Entering the workforce with a degree in hand only to realize the job wasn’t what you imagined. Perhaps you’ve lost your joy and you want to find it...
I want to invite you back into the person you were designed to be by helping you tune in and turn up the volume on your abilities, talents and gifts. Walking back into the engaged life meant that I had to revisit the woman I was from the very beginning. The engaged life gives you validation, and opens you up to encouragement and support from other women navigating through the same territory as you.
When we run alone and empty we reject spaces to get quiet, reflect and imagine because they feel uncomfortable. I want to help you cultivate that space again where you can dream, imagine again. That Green Dress Podcast is going to open you up for functional alone time and rejuvenating relationships at the same time.
Join me each week championed, energized, renewed, and ready to come out of isolation into the community with other women and ready to live your most engaged life.
As a woman you may feel like you’re tirelessly trying to achieve a sense of belonging and acceptance in your home and work life. In order to do that you’re often “turning down” the things that make you who you really are for the acceptance of other people. This may have led to a muted and tired version of who you were designed to be.
