The other times you're just stretching your soul." — Maya Angelou "We think the point is to pass the test or to overcome the problem, but the truth is that things don't really get solved. They come together and they fall apart. Then they come together again and fall apart again. It's just like that. The healing comes from letting there be room for all of this to happen: room for grief, room for relief, for misery, for joy." — Pema Chodron "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly." — Theodore Roosevelt   Time Codes:  00:00 Introduction  03:22 Transitioning to Leadership 05:45 Supporting Women's Mental Health during Perinatal Period 11:53 The Need for Research and Support 17:22 Appreciating Brain and Body Changes during Pregnancy and Postpartum 26:42 The Power of Protection and Feeling Safe 32:55 Accountability and Knowing When to Take a Break 35:15 Caretakers: Pacing and Preserving Identity 39:01 Approaching Leadership with Curiosity and Humility 44:19 The Power of Curiosity and the Role of Critics 46:20 The Beauty of Impermanence and Midlife Reflection 50:23 The Joy of Guacamole 52:37 Expanding Worldview and Deepening Empathy 56:30 Different Perspectives on Feelings and Life 58:46 Managing Anxiety and Setting Boundaries 01:01:01 The Importance of Creativity and Artistic Expression   Apple Podcasts Listeners: Click "Episode Website" below the show notes to view them in full, including bonus links, recommendations, and goodies!    Connect with Brianna: Instagram: @briannabrownkeen X: @brownbrianna TikTok: @briannabrownkeen YouTube: @briannabrownkeen - Full video versions of each episode are available here!    ManifestingYourMission.org TheNewHollywood.org BriannaBrownKeen.com   To follow along, learn more, and stay in the know with all things MYM and the podcast, sign up for our newsletter at ManifestingYourMission.org.
