Thrive with Kira Sabin: A Positive Psychology Podcast

Well, it's been a week.

This week on the podcast I talk about...

• How the election results have had me reeling.
• The stages I went through the last week.
• What is the most important thigns we can do right now.

 

There is a new Essentials Version of Thrive out today that is on sale through the weekend.  New prices start at $499 a month.  Check it out at ThriveMidlifeProgram.com

 

I think one of the roughest parts of being in midlife is realizing that most of the things you were taught about being a girl/woman growing were complete and total BS.

I feel like I have been spending YEARS gut-checking my beliefs and realizing a bunch of the ideas I was sold were based in old school misogyny and were keeping me in a fear/scarcity place.

Today I go through 10 Beliefs I was raised with that were complete BS!

Maybe you learned them too.

If you are ready to examine your beliefs and let go of them, join me in THRIVE!  

My intimate, 9-month group coaching intensive for midlife women to reset your life, let go of what's not working, realize your self-worth, and build the life that you actually want for this next chapter.

After a break for the flu, I'm on day 10 of my Joy Journey and I talk about something that I have noticed coming up...the curse of overthinking.

Today I breakdown:

• a great quote on overthinking that inspired this episode
• what overthinking is and why we do it
• the three types of overthinking and how to spot them in yourself.
• spotting overthinking in a baking show
• where to go from here.

Article I reference today.

And just a reminder,  this is the work I do in THRIVE, my 9 month happiness program for women in midlife, and it’s why I have had thousands of clients who have learned how to stop overthinking, build more self-worth, create unshakeable relationships, and walk through this world lighter and happier.

Here is the truth. Things have gotten really rough for me. Between midlife/aging perimenopause, and just THE 🌎 in general, I feel like I am just pushing through and getting by…and it’s not working anymore. I’m not sure that has ever worked. But man that’s what I was taught. Suck it up buttercup and deal.

Nope. I know better, so I’m doing something about it.

Welcome to my Joy Journey. A 30 day journey to find more mini moments on joy in my life and encourage others to do the same.

It starts this week (Wed the 21st), and I will be doing one positive psychology activity every day to raise my happiness set point and hopefully inspire others in the process.

Today the podcast is telling you all about the Joy Journey and what this is, why I'm doing it, and how you can be a part of it.

 

I'm talking about one of my favorite topics today that personally kicked off my self-help journey.  Love vs Fear.

Today is a bit fancy because I break the episode down to 3 parts.

1. The basics behind the concept and the quote that changed my life.
2. A personal story of how I have made decisions out of fear but thought it was love.
3. Four places to spot fear in your life showing up.

And a boatload more of sweary genius.

You know all those things you were taught were going to make you happy?  

Perfect job, relationship, house, body, etc...that once you had them, you were THEN going to be happy?

Turns out, all BS.

Today on the pod I go to my Happiness Basics and talk about the super interesting theory called the happiness set point.  I talk about:

• What it is and why it matters
• Why all the things you are doing ARE NOT going to raise your happiness set point
• What actually does.
• Where to get started.

PERIMENOPAUSE!!!

I mean, what is this fresh hell that is perimenopause?  I didn't even know it was a thing until I was smack dab feeling the bullshit symptoms of it. AND IT CAN LAST UP TO 12 YEARS! So, I decided to kick off a whole mini series in our midlife conversations episodes to talk about the mindfuck that is perimenopause & to see if some of the weird shit that you are experiencing is actually tied to hormone changes and perimenopause.  

Today I talk about:

*My own story with perimenopause...this far.

*Facts and stats about perimenopause that may surprise you.

*My addition of thorough hormone testing & reading that is completely included in the THRIVE program so we can start getting answers and support.

Have you checked out Thrive yet? Apply now.   This is a part 2.  Listen to part 1 first to get the most of this episode.   Everybody has stress. It's part of the human experience.  But sometimes, that stress seems to NEVER go away and we become chronically stressed or go into "survival mode".  Which can bring on a bunch of bullshit that can affect our lives, jobs, relationships, friendships, and even health.     Worst part? It makes midlife just that much harder...and midlife is already rough.   BUT! You can get out of it!   Today on the episode I talk about:

• Questions to ask yourself to confirm if you are in survival mode.
• What to start doing to get OUT of survival mode.
• A bunch of sweary geniusy things.
