We live in an age where information, opinions, and preferences are thrown at us all day long.

How can we show up confident and able to trust in ourselves if we can't remember the pivotal tools in the moment we need them?

Episode 125: Self-Image

There's a difference betweeen our self-image, what we think of ourselves versus our public-image, what we think others think of us. Too often we are guided by others and the fear of what they might think of us instead of being intrinsically motivated. In this episode, we'll explore how our internal values shape our self-image and contrast it with the external pressures of public opinion. We'll talk about the various "roles" you carry as a part of your identity and question if these roles are productive for you or hinder your ability to feel confident.

Episode 118: Stop Pretending You're Not hurt

There are dangers of pretending to be fine when we're not, pretending that things don't bother us when they really do, pretending to be happy instead of being human with a full range of emotions, pretending to enjoy things when we don't, pretending to agree with things when we really don't. This pretending is hurting you more than you realize and there is a way out. Come listen and learn how to stop pretending!

Episode 115: Stop indulging in ugly thinking

We all experience ugly thoughts. You know the kind, it's when you're starting a new project and that inner dialogue chimes in to tell you all the reasons why it won't work for you or why you're not cut out for that. It happens when you look in the mirror or see a picture of you and whoa, lots of thoughts come out of the woodwork, thoughts that you'd never say to anyone else. It's the thoughts we worry others are thinking about us. They're just really ugly and for most of us, we're really bad at leaning into them instead of kicking them to the curb. In this podcast I teach you how to stop indulging in ugly thinking once and for all!

Love it! Could you give the source for the long quote? The one about escalating or de-escalating a crisis?

Thank you for these words of wisdom! I was listening as I was rushing through a quilt I scheduled myself to finish today and after I frustratingly practiced my musical instruments to check them off my to do list. You totally changed my perspective. I forgot that I'm only doing these things because I enjoy them, so I need to just enjoy the process instead of focusing on checking them off the list or focusing on the mistakes along the way. My day just got immensely better! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
