This solocast gets a little personal as I share my perspective on “Deal with it,” “Get Over it,” and Suck it up, buttercup.” These are the common phrases we hear or tell ourselves and it made me wonder, is this a good thing?
When Bessel van der Kolk wrote The Body Keeps the Score, the research shows that our body and cells hold onto deep emotional wounds. But, far too often, we stuff it all down. What happens then? Illness, disease, and pain - all the ways our body communicates with us.
Recently, I experienced a DEEP emotional (Somato-Emotional, Body, Mind) release with a trusted Craniosacral Therapist from the Upledger Institute. This is a therapy modality of soft-tissue release that I have also practiced for almost 20 years.
Be sure to ask your therapist when they last sought a treatment session. A skilled therapist will tell you that they are also committed to receiving treatments too. The giver needs to also release and re-balance themselves.
What are you holding onto and is it serving your body, mind, and life?
Is it better to get over it, or to shift into feeling and processing the emotion?

What is one fun fact you rarely share that may help women in midlife/over 40/50 and beyond?
FUN FACT One that surprises most people is that your metabolism stays roughly the same from your 20s until you turn 60. So it doesn’t slow down in your 40s and 50s as most women think. (We are the ones slowing down, not our metabolism LOL)

In Ep 100, I started you out on the humility journey, and I wanted to make sure I shared more.
I have felt love in my love - the love of a parent, a child, a sibling, a dear friend…
Sometimes - love is all you need, perhaps even all you desire, and occasionally, love just is not enough.
In February, there is a LOT of talk about love, pink and red roses, chocolate, ok we can’t fault chocolate for getting dragged into a self-limiting belief of the construct of the marketing extravaganza (known as Valentine’s Day). Chocolate is good and does not need to be limited to Feb 14th.
Personally, I believe we can and should bring love to the important people in our lives every single day. Am I alone in this?
How to TRULY Feel the Love in Your Life
In this Episode, Hillary will discuss:
Ask yourself - why am I eating/drinking/doing THIS right now?
Is there an emotion I am trying to NUMB instead of feel and let it flow through its course?
---------------------------------------------------
What Hill learned about… loving myself in 2023
The ONE best step you should take to feel more love in your life…
Get outside 20 minutes/day - UNPLUGGED Or, I have another option for you.
Spend time in stillness and silence - start with 5 minutes/day and build up to 20 minutes. This IS HARD!

Well, I am thrilled and a little embarrassed all at once. I released Ep 101 BEFORE 100! Oh well, another notch in my humility belt.
What are you celebrating and why?
Is it hard to pause to acknowledge a small or big step towards progress? What about without alcohol or junk food?
Imagine you are feeling good, strong, confident, and competent… CELEBRATE!
How would facing that fear and getting unstuck feel?
What would your future self say to your present self?
Take time to rest, slow down, and recognize those accomplishments! We get ONE life!
