In case you are wondering, this isn't goodbye, just a simple farewell. I will return to the podcasting world in the near future. Until then, don't forget to save me a seat. It's time to meet up!
My friend, it’s time for me to pivot. What am I talking about? I have decided to “niche down” to better serve you and to make the absolute most of this podcast.

Welcome to Minisode Monday! Today in this brief yet informative episode, I am talking about discernment. I am in the season of discerning the next move in my career. What are you discerning today?

Whatever you are trying to figure out (career, relationships, finances, etc.), I encourage you to take one of the steps I mention in this episode to help the process along. Grab a seat friend!

It's day 31!!!! This means today is my last day for daily recordings in honor of Mental Health Awareness month. It's been fun friend but I am ready to get back to my regular bimonthly recordings along with my minisodes in between beginning next Monday, June 7th. In today's conversation, I am discussing a fifth sign that may tell you that you need a counselor, living with chronic pain. Chronic pain alone is a challenge for millions of people, but most people don't realize that sometimes chronic pain is more about past trauma than actual pain. Grab your seat, it's time to meet up!Follow me: @meetmeonthecouch
Happy Sunday! Welcome to day 30th, May 30th, the second to last day of recording my daily recordings for Mental Health Awareness Month.

Grab a seat my friend, it's time to meet up!Follow me: @meetmeonthecouchEmail me: meetmeonthecouch1@gmail.com
Day 29 is here and ready for your listening pleasure. Today I am discussing the third sign telling you that therapy may need to happen sooner versus later. Although it may sound weird that the fact you have never been to therapy is a sign you may need therapy, I promise, I explain my rationalization and I think it will make more sense to you. Grab a seat friend, let's meet up!
Welcome to day 28 where I am sharing sign # 2 that will tell you that you probably need some counseling. I am discussing trauma, specifically little trauma (little t) and big traumas (BIG T) and why it's a must to deal with either. Time does not heal your wounds, my friend, what you do in that time does the healing. Find your seat, it's time to meet up!Follow here: @meetmeonthecouch
Welcome to day 27! Today is the start of the last five days of May which means the last five days for my daily recordings. I am discussing five signs that will tell you that you need therapy. Today I am beginning with the first sign, having a poor picker. If you are the person who dates/marries the same kind of person repeatedly, you may have a poor picker. The key to stopping this pattern of unhealthy relationships begins with awareness and then moves on to therapy. Join me on the couch to learn more!
Day 26 is here! Today I am talking about my thoughts on medication and when to know if you need it. Medication is simply one tool in your toolbox of healthy coping skills. It is used as a tool and not as a fix. Listen in to learn what you need to be doing when the medication is working and how to know when it's time to get off of it. It's time to meet up!Follow me: @meetmeonthecouchEmail me: meetmeonthecouch1@gmail.com

Welcome to day 22! I have a few questions, are you happy? Do you have joy within you? Do you know the difference between the two? Listen in as I explain the difference between joy and happiness as well as how to achieve both. I am so happy you're here. Let's meet up friend.

Day 19! Today I am sharing one of two coping skills that I love to use to help me when I am stressed and overwhelmed or just not feeling "right." This first technique I coined, "Write, Burn, Release." The name is fairly obvious but I break it down for you anyway. Listen in to learn more. Stay tuned tomorrow to hear more about my other favorite coping skill. Let's meet up!
Welcome to day 18. We are over halfway there! Today I am talking about whether or not you have control issues. I have a short, fun quiz for you to take (nothing scientific!) to help you identify any possible control issues. I confess that I do have control issues but I am happy to say I have been working continuously for several years to avoid controlling and instead letting go. Are you ready to find out? Grab a pen and paper, it's time to meet up!Catch up with me here: @meetmeonthecouch or meetmeonthecouch1@gmail.comResource: www.psychologytoday.com
Welcome to day 17! I am discussing the importance of giving yourself permission and why you should do so today. We tend to get caught up in the "have to's" or the "I shoulds" when we really need to focus more on the "It's okay if I say no to_____." My friend, learn how to give yourself permission. You'll thank me later. Let's meet up!Catch up with me here:@meetmeonthecouchmeetmeonthecouch1@gmail.com
