The Good Space with Francesca Phillips

When you’re feeling overwhelmed or the effects of performance anxiety nothing feels more soothing than having a simple and supportive emotional toolkit of mindfulness practices to choose from. In this episode, I’m interviewing Dr. Amanda Tobe on why it’s important to design your life around how you want to feel, different ways to check in with yourself, and how performance anxiety is tied to your core beliefs.

She talks about...

• Clarity on what you really want to do [7:13] 
• Your personal compass [10:24] 
• Creating good habits [13:39] 
• Struggles with performance anxiety [15:52] 
• Learning to be uncomfortable [19:51] 
• Easing anxiety [22:09] 
• Increase emotional intelligence [25:37] 

QUOTES

“I think it’s really important to think about what are the conversations and the things that I am talking about where I tend to sparkle? Where do I light up and what are the things that make me feel really excited inside?” - Amanda Tobe 

“I need to take a deep breath and say it’s gonna be okay. The sun is going up tomorrow. It’s gonna be okay.” - Amanda Tobe

THIS WEEK’S INTENTION

If you struggle with perfectionism then this episode is for you. Perfectionism is a topic I’ve wanted to discuss with you for a while. It’s also one I’ve felt nervous to tackle because I’ve struggled so much with it. It’s a true obstacle you may not even realize affects you as much as it does. My hope is that by putting perfectionism out in the open you’ll be able to put a label on it in your life. Then feel inspired to put into practice a progress mindset instead.

So I wanted to share things I'm afraid to tell you. Lately, I’ve been on a big self-acceptance journey and feel this is the natural next step for me. I'm working to change the stories that have blocked me. This is my way of showing myself that by putting these fears and shameful feelings out there I no longer need to feel afraid. I can still be loved and worthy even when I feel these things.

Why You Need to Create a System of Success with Kevin Palmieri

Most people are unaware that the first step towards success is knowing where you want to be. It is much easier to achieve your best life when you have a clear direction of where you want to go. In this episode, I’m interviewing Kevin Palmieri on how he was able to go from suicidal to turning his life around and having the success and fulfillment that he does today. 

He talks about...

- Holding yourself accountable and building fulfillment into your everyday. [6:57]

- Learning how to say “No”. [9:08]

- Focusing on things to be motivated about. [12:08]

- The importance of building and reaffirming your self-worth. [15:29]

- Starting the path towards being your best self. [20:20]

- Surrounding yourself with confident people. [24:55]

QUOTES

“Where you are is not where you have to stay.”

“If you have a cup that is filled to the brim with fear and uncertainty, you will not accept any ideas.”

“When you’re scarce, you have to push yourself to do something. When you’re abundant, you feel pulled to do something.”

WEEKLY AFFIRMATION

How To Embrace Diversity And Include Others Better with Andraea Lavant

In conversations of spirituality, we often talk about manifesting and how we are 100% responsible for our outcomes. It’s also important, however,  to call out the fact that not everyone is given the same resources or an equal opportunity to have the best outcome for their life. In order to be truly expansive in our spirituality, we must acknowledge and accept that there are differences within all of us, but that we’re all capable of openly inviting differences into our lives. 

She talks about…

- Having a support system and also being a supportive friend. [8:11]

- Allowing trust to guide you through uncomfortable conversations and situations. [10:35]

- Broadening the scope by which diversity and inclusion are discussed. [16:56]

- Including different voices and perspectives in all spaces and conversations. [19:42]

- Openly inviting different people, experiences, and knowledge into your life. [23:23]

- Using social media as a resource to expand your own space and explore other voices. [26:55]

- Acknowledging people’s differences and giving them the space to speak for themselves. [30:39]

- Being more proactive with inclusivity and being more accommodating to others. [40:19]

QUOTES

“Until it hits you close, we often don’t address it. So I think that is why the diversity narrative is so narrow.”

“Different perspectives really make us better. If you think about the people that you’ve gotten to know that are different from you, and how that has expanded every aspect of who you are, and not only for you but for other people.”

“I think it’s looking at who is already at your table and inviting more people. Inviting the people that look different.

WEEKLY AFFIRMATION

I am open and accepting of my truest self and therefore am inclusive of every soul I meet. I embrace them with love and openness.

Many people struggle to love themselves when they’re in a relationship. They become so consumed with the other person they forget how to feel like themselves again. However, truly loving someone else happens only when you know how to love yourself.  Today, I’m interviewing Laura Denke, a licensed marriage and family therapist, on the importance of positive self-talk and compassion when trying to foster long-lasting relationships. 

She talks about...

- How negative internal thoughts can often lead to relationship problems. [4:52] 

- Learning positive self-talk and being kind to yourself. [8:45]

- Recognizing good thoughts and questioning bad thoughts. [10:21]

- Being your own source of love. [14:14]

- Being aware of and getting out of abusive relationships. [18:54]

- How clear and effective communication lead to long-lasting relationships. [21:11]

- Practices to maintain your sense of self in relationships. [23:16]

- Viewing relationships as a mutual partnership. [25:09]

- Knowing yourself and your own values when getting to know another person. [30:27]

- The importance of being a giver and being with someone who is a giver as well. [35:08]

QUOTES

“I had done the best I could. My parents knew it, so I knew it, so I could have compassion on myself...That became a marvelous paradigm for my life, of not criticizing myself because I did the best I could.”

“Another reason that I can give myself positive self-talk is because I’m here to learn and grow, and every day is a learning and growing experience.”

“It’s about making mutual goals together...Destination-dating is learning about a person’s personality and what kind of partner they would be.”

WEEKLY AFFIRMATION

I feel an expansive, warm, never-ending love for myself. I allow myself to be open in close relationships because my trust lies in the foundation of God and the universe. And through that powerful energy, I am always safe and whole, regardless of how others deal with their own wounds.
