It was such an honor and privilege to speak directly with her...the author! Today's episode, we chat about:  1. Shannon's inspiration to write “Adventures For Your Soul” 2. What was holding her back before writing this book 3. Which chapter required the most vulnerability to write about & why 4. Which habit transformation impacted Shannon's life the most & why 5. Which chapter was her favorite to write & why Some of my favorite quotes:  “We often settle because we think it is the best we can get, a behavior that is rooted in fear of the unknown or in feeling unworthy” “One of the most common habits we fall into that can hinder our happiness is overthinking things and failing to act. This shows up in the form of over analyzing, being extremely critical, or not trusting our own feelings” “If we didn’t feel embarrassment and shame, other people’s criticism of us or our own inner critic would have no power over us. Many of us stay stuck in self-shame, guilt, and embarrassment because we are worried about what other people will think” “Emotions affect you because they are rooted in some past experience and will try to rule your choices by reminding you of the consequences you suffered, the mistakes and failures of your past. When we listen to our emotions, we stay stuck in our past” “I was always blaming myself because I didn't love myself...I was always consumed with guilt and focused on trying to make things “right”...I did everything I could to please them, in the process losing more of myself every day. Blame is a cousin of fear. Fear keeps us from falling in love with our life…” You can grab your copy of "Adventures For Your Soul" here: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/317331/adventures-for-your-soul-by-shannon-kaiser/ Check out her other books, too! https://www.playwiththeworld.com/books/ Please join me in supporting Shannon by checking out her website: playwiththeworld.com and following her on social media: Twitter: https://twitter.com/shannonlkaiser Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ShannonKaiserWrites/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shannonkaiserwrites/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/PLAYWITHTHEWORLD --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/foundfamily/support

Trust me, this was just ask shocking to me, too. Today, as part of mental health awareness month, I wanted to highlight the pros. Below is a list of my reflections for both sides: Cons: It made me feel trapped and fearful It made me have a broken record in my brain replaying negative thoughts It made me sabotage relationships It made me ruminate It gave me intrusive thoughts that made me question my sanity It made me obsessed with religion and trying to be the perfect Christian It made me crave assurance It’s kept me stuck within my business It made me experience some of the worst panic attacks of my life Pros: It’s made me a more empathetic person It’s made me more introspective It helped keep me out of trouble It’s made me have more resilience It’s turned me into a fighter It’s made me ask myself lots of questions to gain awareness & ultimately confidence It’s made me be more truthful It’s helped me stick with my workouts because they’re real time and I am holding myself more accountable not to miss a day It’s made me more prepared to cope with things like COVID-19, periods of time filled with uncertainty As I shared in this episode, I'm a Certified Personal Development Coach and I empower women to develop & strengthen self-confidence in their personal lives, careers, and relationships.

Laurie is a certified Life Coach and was formerly a federal probation officer with a Master in Justice and a degree in Cultural Anthropology. She is originally from California but has been an expat for 14 years. Through her Higher Self Letter Writing technique and customized guided visualizations and affirmations, Laurie shows you how you are your first home.  May is mental health awareness month. As many of us either know or have known a narcissist, this is a very important topic that I can't wait to share with you all! Today, Laurie and I dive deeper into understanding narcissistic personalities. But you might be asking, what is a narcissist?  You will learn: Some of the signs of narcissists What it's like living with a narcissistic parent, family member, or partner The best ways to communicate with a narcissist How we can cope and show ourselves love Initially, narcissistic abuse starts with 'small jab' comments. Over time, they grow and behavior changes. You might experience passive aggressiveness and/or the silent treatment. Narcissists are like mind ninjas! As Laurie shares, "they will start to diminish your self-esteem...and you don't really feel it straight away." You might think, as Laurie also shared, "what's wrong with me...?"  Mental abuse is still abuse. Please remember that your emotions and thoughts are valid and that there is NOTHING wrong with you. Narcissists prey on those who are empathetic and use it against them.

You want it so badly. The fit body, a partner in crime, to be InstaFamous and have the most glamorous feed, or to finally have the guts to start that business you've always dreamed of. You spend so much time future tripping - focusing on these things (and then some)... things that you don't have right now. So you get frustrated, you get angry, and you get discouraged. How many hours a day do you spend future tripping? How much energy do you consume every day saying mean things to yourself? Stop searching for external things, soul sister. You will literally exhaust yourself mentally and physically to the point of panic attacks, increased anxiety, and depression. It's scary to search inward, but it's the answer. You gotta spend time with you first. Before you listen to this episode, take 30 seconds to look at your reflection, either in a mirror or on your phone. Look at yourself in the eyes, smile, and say out loud, "I love you and I'm here for you. You're a resilient, strong, and incredible woman. I'm ready to meet you and I'm ready to become besties again." 1. Reflect on things that you're grateful for 2. Identify which human need you're trying to satisfy 3. Understand your self-love language 4. Cut yourself some slack, you're doing the best you can 5. Set boundaries for yourself What are you waiting for? You have this power, too.

Amanda and I deep dive into helping to answer these questions for you! This soul chat was especially special for me because this is a topic that, although often times is controversial, means a lot to me personally. Learning more about our intuition helps us to learn more about trusting ourselves.  Please help me in supporting Amanda by checking out her social channels: Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFhFcRUzrBokl4E-Cuewi0w?view_as=subscriber Website: https://theintuitivewife.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theintuitivewife/ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/foundfamily/support

She is also obsessed with lifelong learning, facing life's truths, and the human potential! What you'll learn today: What does it mean to be emotionally aware How you can increase your emotional intelligence Self-awareness practices that can help you feel less anxious Transformational Quotes: "...emotional self awareness... [is] the degree to which you're in touch with your feelings and your emotions and are able to distinguish one emotion from another and understand why that emotion has resulted..." "...I tend to subscribe to the thinking that emotions are really a very initial response to our triggers. And I'm not talking about trauma triggers I'm talking about any trigger which is really just any response to anything...And then there's a sort of a feedback loop that last for about six seconds..." "... just get to being very present with yourself so that you can become aware of what it is that you're feeling and to recognize that you are not your feelings." "...dividing our emotional intelligence into four basic areas that is (1) self awareness, (2) self management, (3) social awareness and (4) social management. So really it's about becoming really aware of who we are and how we are in the world. How we feel inside, how we feel about ourselves [and] what we're doing about that, and then how we manage ourselves...it also looks at...what's going on outside of us in our environment." "...awareness helps us in the present moment, and that awareness is the best guide for what we can do in that moment and every moment forward." [during COVID-19] having this emotional awareness will strengthen our ability to not only communicate what our needs are...but also... to communicate this to others [in our households]..." [How can we manage our emotions] "...might be a little bit more nuance than managing emotions. I think it [is] a little bit more about managing what we do about our emotions because the emotions need to be allowed to be felt..." "Number one most important is that we have to allow ourselves the safe space to feel what we feel..."
