Who We Become

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?

We are several days into 2024 and I want to check in with you! Do you get so motivated to reach your goals that you start to become burned out? Can you tell when you've bitten off more than you can chew? This episode is your reminder to pace yourself as we head into a new year of possibilities and a fresh start. It is okay to work toward one goal at a time!

We all have our flaws, and sometimes, mine are literally on my face where I can not hide them. I share how navigating life with eczema has not been the easiest thing for me and the ways it forced me to be confident in my skin even when I didn't want to be!

In this episode, I mention a book about fasting: The Complete Guide To Fasting by Jason Fung Complete Guide To Fasting: Heal Your Body Through Intermittent, Alternate-Day, and Extended Fasting - https://a.co/d/bC4dCak

Implementing these four habits in my life has been a game changer for me. Raising my standards and holding myself accountable is the self care I hope you implement for yourself. It's not always easy or fun, but doing the boring and disciplined things can go a long way. Look out Webster, there's a new definition of "high maintenance woman."

What does it mean to own our mistakes and get used to being uncomfortable? The process of falling down and getting back up is a familiar friend of mine, and I want to encourage you to bet on yourself.

If you took something from this episode, let me know! I would love to hear from you!
