We've all done it... came up with those "really good" excuses to not do or start something. For me, it usually comes down to three things: fear of failure or judgment, being comfortable, or lack of discipline. So when I DO lean into discomfort and embrace the vulnerability process....I'm able to take action, which is super empowering! I hope this episode helps you run out of excuses and turn into an action taking, butt kicking version of you!

Hey gorgeous, I'm just checking... Are you okay? We often talk a lot about the importance of mental health, and I see lots of posts on social media about asking if others are okay. It's not alwaya easy to talk about but how often do we really sit with ourselves, on a deep personal level, and admit when we're not okay? If we're not, are we telling anyone? I'm here to remind you that it's okay to not be okay, and there are people who care about you and your mental health. If you're struggling, it's okay to talk about it.

After years of being mentally, verbally, and emotionally abused, I decided to do something about it. I felt ready to go through the hardest steps to leave, and I was so looking forward to being happy again... but before having peace again, I had to go through grief, loneliness, and anger. This was the part I wished I was "warned" about to know what to expect. I want to share this part of me because we often go through at least one thing in our lifetime where we are so hurt and think that it won't get better.

I attended the 2024 SRQ Womens Expo in Sarasota, FL, this past weekend and it was so great to celebrate women and how we are so amazing! But more importantly, the expo was a reminder to women that we're worth investing in ourselves however that may look to each of us individually. There was a panel discussion by local women in business who I took 5 important reminders from, I'm here to share those with you and invite you to put yourself first.

Before going to therapy, I had no idea what self improvement was. I thought i was just going to be venting to someone about my life. After letting postpartum anxiety and depression swallow me up for years, I came across a book by Mari Kondo about decluttering and organization that was eye opening for me. This catapulted the baby steps I started to take ever since. Sis, I promise that you can get started in any area of your life, but you have to want to do this work for you, no one else.

I'm back with the rest of some lessons I took from being in a toxic work environment. I know that this episode and episode 6 are about work, but some of this can absolutely be applied to other areas of life. I'd love to hear from you after you listen, follow me on Instagram, and send me a message: https://linktr.ee/the.andrea.k

As always, thank you for taking the time to listen.

Maybe you are currently in this kind of work environment where the people are energy vampires or you didn't know how to address someone being rude and lacking compassion. I want to share with you some of the things I learned when (un)professionals do not take accountability and how I had to adapt to some unpredictability. Can you relate to what I discussed in this episode?

If you've ever lost sight of yourself in a life lesson or drama, this episode is for you! Ditch the self-doubt and stop being afraid being afraid to stand out or show up with authenticity. If someone doesn't accept you for you, are you going to waste your time and energy worrying about it?
