How do you feel about change?

Do you resist it?

Are you afraid of it?

Or are you someone who sees new possibilities in change?

If your relationship with change is not where you want it to be, this episode is for you. I cover the highs and lows of change, our natural and often ingrained fear of change, and how we can relate to change in a healthy way because it will happen whether we resist or not.

Are there particular people at family, work, or friend gatherings you would rather avoid?

Is it painful to interact with them because they ask intrusive questions or love to complain?

Or do you simply find social gatherings tricky to navigate?

Whether you are attending family gatherings, friend celebrations, or holiday work parties, in this episode I am giving you a few ways to get out of seemingly impossible social situations.

If you feel stuck between not wanting to answer a deeply personal question and not wanting to seem 'rude,' I have scripts for you. And if you are tired of people who tell inappropriate jokes or make rude comments, I have you covered there, too.

Ultimately, this is about your right to be selective about whom you share information with and focus on how you want to feel in these situations.

**Trigger Warning**

This episode contains a story about gun violence and narcissistic abuse. If this is distressing for you, please skip it!

Katre has a phenomenal story of escaping a toxic, narcissistic abusive relationship that highlights the resiliency of the human spirit. She shares how she escaped, what brought her to the moment of needing to get out, and how she healed afterward.

Those of you who have experienced narcissistic abuse may see yourself in Katre's journey. She shares it to help others feel less alone because when you go through something like this, as Katre shared, people in your life may not understand the extent of the abuse. Many of her friends waved off her ex's behavior as emotionally immature.

But Katre was able to leave this relationship in 2018 and has worked on healing in the years since, even becoming a mentor and coach to others. If you can relate to her story, consider joining her Facebook community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1917430661795072/

What are the stories you tell yourself about the things you want in life?

Do you have limiting beliefs, ideas, or thoughts about your capabilities and worthiness?

Does it feel safer to long for something than to have it?

Many of you have written to me wanting to understand, on a deeper level, what stops you from taking action toward the things you say you want.

If any of this rings true for you, read on because I am talking about why many of us find wanting more comfortable than having, and how we can get unstuck and take actions aligned with our desires.

I am thrilled to welcome back my pal Dr. Perpetua Neo. She is an expert in high-functioning, overachieving women, as well as trauma bonding and abusive relationships.

In this conversation, we talk about the realities of trauma bonds, mainstream misunderstandings around therapy speak, and the pitfalls Dr. P sees in her high-functioning clients and what they can do to regulate their brains.

We end with a discussion about respecting our hormones, my experience with perimenopause and menopause, what Dr. P learned about her own cycle, fasting, and more.

Are there people in your life who don't respect your boundaries?

People you can't talk true around, who use your words against you later?

People who don't support what is best for you?

People who take and take, leaving you drained?

If you are nodding your head, you might need more discernment when it comes to who has access to you, and how much.

In this episode, I am covering what discernment is, why being discerning with the people in our life is important, how to practice discernment, and how discernment can improve the quality of your life and your relationships.

I had so much fun interviewing my pal Dale Moss. You might know Dale from The Bachelorette in 2020, where he got engaged after a few episodes and shook up the season. Dale is also a former NFL wide receiver and is currently exploring his love of storytelling and film by executive producing three docu-series, which he talks about near the end.

We cover his childhood, how the unconditional love he received from his parents influenced how he continued to show up in the world despite being the repeated target of racism, his experience on The Bachelorette, his current relationship, his love for his sister and the Special Olympics, and so much more.
