Surprise!!

We will do a quick intro about what's been up with me for the last 3 years (lol, hi!). I'm also chatting about how to survive the holidays (from a therapist-in-training!) and what I talk to my clients about during this season. Plus, is Tom Schwartz a narcissist? Let's talk about my argument for why he's potentially the most insidious person on the Vanderpump Rules cast.

Welcome to the highly anticipated (???) debut of Season 3 of To Be Human. In this special episode, join your host me as I discuss six invaluable tips to not just survive but thrive during the holiday season while keeping your mental health intact. Self-care and boundaries are a MUST during this time of year, so tune in to obtain your roadmap to thriving during the most wonderful time of the year.

We all have coping mechanisms (raise your hand if you're avoidant like me!) that make pain feel easier.

Today I talk to Laina about her exact formula for manifestation (3 steps), synchronicities and what they mean, what it looks like when we aren't trusting the universe (hint hint - control and anxiety), and more. She's such a lovely embodiment of 'you get back the energy that you put out'. She radiates positivity and her presence alone reminds me that manifestation should be fun!

Finding yourself suddenly working from home and stuck in a rut? Here are my tips to stay sane, happy, healthy, AND productive while you WFH. You can start them literally today.

10 minute meditation and visualization to start your day! <3 With love.

I became a morning person this year and WOW did it completely change my l.i.f.e. I've been more productive, not to meantion i've finally made time for self-care, learning, and meditation. I share my 5 very practical tips for how I was able to start waking up at 5am every day and actually feel happy about it.

How do we cultivate a sense of optimism even during difficult times? What narratives are playing out in our minds that are being reflected in our outer world, and how can we shift that narrative to one that is lined with hope and positivity? Where are we victimizing ourselves? Our reality is a reflection of what's going on in our minds - a reflection of our beliefs about how the world works. If you're looking for jerks, you'll see them everywhere. If you're looking for love, you'll see it everywhere. I wrote a blog post to accompany this episode here.

How do you begin recognizing red flags or unhealthy relationship patterns, why is it important to listen to your friends when they don't like your new relationship, how much should we be drinking on our first dates...? 

Sharon is a clinical therapist and life coach, and this week we talk about:

Sharons' Breathwork Practice - breathing exercise inhale for 4, pause for 7, exhale for 8 — when we exhale for longer than we inhale it resets our nervous system (8-10 rounds)
