The Tea, Please

43 | December is a time of natural reflection, so I'm taking this episode to reflect on the confidence and trust I've been able to build this year. I have always struggled with confidence and I've really made it a point to practice confidence and trust in myself this year and to be honest I have seen some major improvements.

*snaps for personal growth*

41 | As with any habit, I think we can really benefit from checking in on our relationship with alcohol and making sure we're feeling comfy with where we're at.

When I drink does it feel like my choice? Or does the alcohol take over?

Am I having a drink because I feel like I have to? Or is it my decision?

Do I wake up feeling regretful?

Am I in control?

Is it serving me?

These are the questions that can help us determine if our relationship with alcohol is a healthy one.

Karolina Rzadkowolska is a best-selling author with her new book coming out in January called Euphoric - Ditch Alcohol and Gain a Happier More Confident You. She's cut out alcohol completely and shares how it's positively impacted her life.

This episode is for the sober curious, or anyone who drinks alcohol to understand what it does to our mental health and our bodies.

The boys have left the group chat and it's time to talk about the girliest topic of all time: raging hormones, PMS, and the cycle our bodies go through every 28ish days. YAY! (kinda).

It doesn't come naturally to talk about these things because there has been a stigma for a long time and I always feel like I have to pretend that my cycle isn't affecting me when it reality I've gone through a lot with my own cycles, like losing them for a length of time or having extreme symptoms that impact my daily life.

So in this episode, we're talking about it. So much education is still needed and it needs to start with women understanding more about this part of our human experience.

That's where Berrion Berry comes in, she's a Menstrual Health Educator, Practitioner & the Founder of Optimize Your Flo. She teaches modern women to transform their periods and life through menstrual mastery. From hormone balancing to cycle syncing, to mood-enhancing and self-healing, Berrion covers it all and is sharing a bit of her knowledge with us today.

Bad mental health days can be so confusing and frustrating -- the days where we feel off, could be categorized as "no bones" days, or days we recognize a dip in our mental health. I think we all have bad mental health days because we're all human and live with responsibilities and pressures that can feel really heavy sometimes.

I've had a lot of these days and have put a lot of thought into why they happen and what I can do to decrease the frequency and the intensity of my bad mental health days. It can be done! In this episode, I'm speaking from my personal experience and sharing both practical and introspective ways to reframe our bad days.

This topic comes from personal experience and curiosity about my own choices in my 20's. I had a thing for torturing myself with unhealthy relationships. Much of my story comes from trying to heal from these toxic relationships after my confidence was torn down, my perception of reality was so skewed, and I didn't think I could trust myself anymore.

It only makes sense that I get a therapist on the show to dive into all of it!

Natalie Hartney is a board-certified counselor working in private practice since 2014, and she's the host of the Bad Childhood By The Optimistic Therapist podcast. You can hear the empathy in her voice when she talks about toxic relationships, she offers so much perspective. I know you'll love this conversation!

We don't have to think about breathing, our bodies do it intuitively. But what if we did think about it? What if we brought intention and awareness to our breath and used our own breath to calm our nervous systems and heal?

That's what we're exploring in today's episode with Haley Navarro, an LA-based breathwork facilitator who has seen and experienced how intentional breathing can improve symptoms of anxiety and depression.

I dare you to take 5 deep breaths during this episode and tell me you don't feel better!
