89. Unpacking Planning For The Future

This short and sweet Thought all started when a psychic told Meadow to update her five, three, and one year plan… you wish we were joking. For folks with colorful mental health journeys (present company included) it can be challenging to identify long-term goals or dreams—let alone, putting those into practice via habits, discipline, and strategic planning. With the end of 2023 upon us, here’s how these two knuckleheads are reflecting on their paths and visualizing their futures.  0:00 Intro 3:05 Meadowlark’s meditation 4:09 Future planning + meditation structure 5:51 Mapping out the future 8:30 Surprises 11:00 Daily habits to help reach the goal 12:55 Finding your why 14:11 A ‘no’ is just as valuable as a ‘yes’ 16:53 Approaching with curiosity 21:11 Allowing for inspiration + find your priority 27:23 Diary of a CEO we love you Don’t forget to DM us on IG or submit a question on thoughtsmayvary.com to have your question or theme unpacked on a future episode!  SHOP “CO-CREATE” TMV’S MANIFESTATION JOURNAL:  https://www.thoughtsmayvary.com/the-tmv-shop Discount codes, extra unpackings, journal prompts, vlogging (+more!) all happening with our familia over on Patreon.

You’re not going to want to miss this one!  To learn more about shadow work, you can download our manifestation journal, Co-Create, enroll in Unblocked Shadow with To Be Magnetic and use code “THOUGHTS”, and read The Tools book, as well as check out their online programming.  A few shadow work journal prompts to get you started (thanks to Co-Create!) Why am I not showing up in the way I want to? What parts of myself are hardest to accept? What do I need to forgive myself for? Do I hide any parts of myself from others? Why? What personality traits do I notice in others that I wish I had? How do I feel when I’m around people who exhibit these traits?  Music By: Kieran Miles Don’t forget to DM us on IG or submit a question on thoughtsmayvary.com to have your question or theme unpacked on a future episode!

55. Johanna Kandel On Supporting Yourself When You Have An Eating Disorder

It’s National Eating Disorder Awareness Week and today we are talking to one of our favorite people, Johanna Kandel. Johanna is the founder of The Alliance for Eating Disorders — the nation’s leading nonprofit providing referrals, education, and support to individuals experiencing eating disorders and their loved ones. After recovering from a long battle with various EDs (which we get into), she founded The Alliance, bringing so much of her personal insight into the incredible work that she does. This conversation was packed with vulnerability, wisdom, and resources.  With Johanna, we discussed the genetic link to eating disorders and the power of understanding what is in our control, understanding when it’s time for treatment vs things you can do on your own, the power of a diagnosis (and dangers in self diagnosis), thoughts on dieting (don’t get her started on ozempic), and how to talk to someone you are concerned about.  The Alliance offers comprehensive services, including: Educational presentations and training days Free, weekly, therapist-led support groups nationwide (virtual and in-person) for those experiencing eating disorders and for their loved ones Support and referrals through both our free help-line and comprehensive referral website/app Direct, low-cost, life-saving, outpatient treatment to underinsured and uninsured adults in the South Florida community. Unique and empowering Southern Smash scale smashing events and SmashTALK panel discussions.
