On today's podcast, I’m sharing with you a portion of my new

Emotional Digestion and Mindfulness.

Do you ever find yourself judging your emotions and thoughts. Thinking things like "That's so unfair!" "I feel so stupid!" "Why can't I just be better?" So do I! Learning about emotional digestion has been a game-changer. Did you know that just because we think this things or feel this way its doesn't make us a "bad" person. Our emotions don't need to have our judgement. Emotions are just emotions and we get to choose how to respond to them. By learning how to "digest" our emotions rather than run away, hide, or push them away, we can find more peace and happiness in EVERY SITUATION.

Each video tackles a unique part of finding relief from anxiety. When put all together this technique will free you from anxiety’s prison and torment. This technique can be used over and over again. Anxiety never fully disappears from our life. With the tools I teach you, you will be able to build a life that can withstand the surprises and tricks anxiety can throw at you. You will never feel hopeless, helpless, and powerless again.

Along with what I cover today the course also covers:

Claudia Noriega-Bernstein is an artist, writer,  philanthropist,

Today on the podcast she talks about her “children’s books for adults”, showing up authentically, shifty our self-talk, and living up to our birthright by making ourselves, our development, and our mental health a priority.

Claudia started her career on television at 17 years old as an actor, appearing in one the most popular Telenovelas  (Soap-opera) called Carmin, airing in over 37 counties as well as mini-series and important advertising campaigns in South America, like Levi's. Soon after, she moved to behind the camera and, at 21, became one of the youngest producers in her country, where she wrote a manual that was later used to train other young producers.

"Helping others achieve self-confidence, good relationships, their life purpose and becoming authentic leaders, brings so much joy to my life; especially when I help them stand in their own power and have clarity about who they are and where they want to be, so they can ultimately become the best version of themselves."

Born in Peru, she comes from a culture of taboos and beliefs that had not always empowered her to become what she believed was her calling. In the process of self-discovering, she fell in love with herself again and found her passion for helping others.

Today we’re gonna talk about a form of OCD called Scrupulosity.

Disclaimer:

From The International OCD Foundation:

"What is Scrupulosity? A form of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) involving religious or moral obsessions. People with scrupulosity are overly concerned that something they thought or did might be a sin or other violation of religious or moral doctrine."

This episode is personally important to me and the knowledge I will share was absolutely life changing. This knowledge was the first step in my husband receiving an OCD diagnosis. He has scrupulosity.

If someone you know came to mind while you’ve been listening and you feel comfortable – send them the link. Remember, my mom took a risk and sent me the article linked below. That information has changed mine and my family’s course forever. That article was the catalyst that literally saved my husband’s life. It may be a risk. It may also be one that changes your life or the life of someone you love.

CORRECTION: I refer to episode #8 in this podcast as a reference. It is actually episode #7- What's Going On Inside Your Brain.

Today I talk about the life changing information that my family has learned that EVERY. SINGLE. HUMAN. should know.

Our brain is made to warn us when there is danger, but sometimes our brain gets it wrong. When we continually listen to these false alarm signals our brain creates a pattern or loop that will then warn us every time that false threat comes up.

I teach you how to break that loop today on the podcast and give you two other practical tips that will guide you towards a life that no longer is controlled by anxiety.

Knowledge is power. Knowledge is freedom. Knowledge is joy.

Take this knowledge and run with it! Find your power, freedom, and joy!

Have you ever tried to contain a laugh, hold back tears, or keep yourself from yelling at someone you love?? On today's podcast I'm talking about all things EMOTIONS.  The past few years have been an emotional journey for me. Mental illness is a doozy and I have not been immune to it's effects.  I feel mad, sad, grateful, disappointed, lonely, frustrated, elated, and so many more. And sometimes I feel then at the same time! And sometimes, in the process of feeling all the feels, fireworks go off when everyone else is around. I literally yelled at my husband in front of my kids...and surprisingly felt zero guilt afterwards. It's a story you've got to hear. I think you might be surprised and relieved.  I'm not condoning yelling or being rude - I promise. I'm talking about using our emotions in constructive, healthy ways.  It takes practice. It can be messy. And it takes a whole bunch of vulnerability.  The benefits are priceless. Hop on over to the podcast and get all the good, the bad, and the ugly 😆
