To be completely transparent I have zero remembrance of what I rambled about in this episode. What I do know is that I finally spill the beans on becoming honest about my wants and desires in life, especially in my career. And what that means for website design. Listen up because (I believe) it gets a lil' spicy!

I feel like I've been in a thinking mood lately. I've been trying to take myself off social media a bit more so I can be in the present and since then I've had quite a few thoughts about life. So join me in this episode as I'd love to see what your thoughts and opinions are on these topics as well.

Did you miss me?! No seriously, I even missed me. Because ya girl has been going on a RIDE, mentally, the last 4+ weeks. I felt like I was legit drowning in my thoughts but I can finally see some light at the end of the tunnel. So if you've been curious (which I know you have been), grab a drink (cause you'll need it) and take a listen into this 24 minute episode.

Over the past few years I've gotten really good at identifying my triggers: Feeling anxious in relationships, Financials, Imposter Syndrome and being in a sensory over-loaded environment. I decided to write out four questions I can come back to when I start to feel myself going into fight or flight mode with my goal being to ground myself.

I wanted to share these questions in hope they inspire you to write your own to come back to when you start feeling anxious, frustrated, angry, depressed, etc. Or if you want, take mine!

How Jericha was able to work on herself and go from a career that she 'thought' was supposed to be her life, to taking a completely different direction as well as the limiting beliefs that came along with that. (Oh, and more relatable topics!)

I believe therapy is a gift everybody can give themselves. We all deal with a level of childhood trauma that ultimately affects how we presently think, feel and handle emotions during specific situations and triggers. When I started going to therapy two years ago I was struggling with anxiety daily/every other day, severe mood swings and disassociation that would take me out for the day. Because of talk therapy, I can confidently intellectualize my triggers, thoughts and choices which feels super empowering. The only problem? My inability to feel deep emotion which talk therapy wasn't able to help me with, which I explain more in the episode. So sit back, relax and join me as I go into detail about the next steps in my mental health journey..

If you have any questions on my experience or why I've decided to stop therapy, feel free to shoot me a message on instagram here!

On today's episode we have good friend and Social Media Manager, Emily Rutherford, on the podcast. Emily opens up about her journey with therapy, including how her first experience was when she was 12 years old. She deep dives into her struggles with people pleasing and guilt, holding onto anger, but most importantly, how to forgive herself throughout the process. Therapy is different for everybody but the surface level feelings and experiences we share when it comes to finding the right therapist and actually opening up and going deep about our struggles can be similar. So wherever you are when listening to this episode, I hope you enjoy it and find something that resonates.

Back in college, I thought nobody cared about my traumatic experience. I never gave anyone a chance to show they do care, and of the people I did tell my story to, lashed out, gaslit me and walked out of my life. The unfortunate truth is that so many people who struggle with mental health have had memories with someone who's treated them like shit for struggling. It makes you never want to open up or tell your story again, and overtime that builds up in a bad way.

Over the last couple months I've opened up to at least 4-5 more people in my life who have showed me that they do care about my story, and me. It took me years to realize that there are people who can be a safe space for you. So join me in this episode as I share my FOUR tips on how to become more open and owning your story and who you are as a person, regardless of what reactions you get from others.

Join Alaina and I in today's episode where we deep dive into all things emotional intelligence, self awareness and stored trauma. And if ya didn't know, when you suppress trauma and negative experiences, over time that can show up in your life as both physical and emotional symptoms. A few months ago I had the pleasure of working with Alaina on some of my own stored trauma that I've had a tough time healing which, naturally, manifested into issues with my gut health, heavy sugar and sweet cravings, frequent anxiety + depressive episodes, intrusive thoughts, a lot of pent up anger and so on. Together we were able to work through things I've never verbalized to anyone in order to release emotions that I never let come up. 

If you are someone who has tried to work on your own physical and/or emotional symptoms yet nothing seems to be helping...please give this episode a listen!
