Today, we are talking make decisions from a place of fear. Often, fear can keep us stuck or make us feel like we don't have a lot of options. We can make a choices even by not make any choice at all. If we can control things in moment when we are uncertain of the outcome, we gain resilience. We build new tool and skills so the next time we are faced with something new or different we can trust ourselves to get through it. The fear ...
Today, we are talking about those unhelpful coping skills or behaviors we want to change. There is a payoff or "good" feeling that comes from using them. If we want to change we need to increase the awareness of how it feels before, during, and after we use the "wrong" skill or make the choice to use that behavior. It is helpful to be aware of how and why we use those skills. #copingskills #mentalhealth #makingchanges #unhelpful
Today, we are talking about losing ourselves in all the different ways we do. We get caught up in work, parenting, or in relationships and often we don't recognize it. It is important to be aware that we can come back to the relationship with ourselves, reconnecting with parts we may have neglected. We can come back to the home within ourself doing things we used to enjoy. Things that feel safe and consistent with our values and go...
Today, we are talking about the importance of friendships. Over our lifetime we meet people who come into our life, sometimes for a season and sometimes for longer. They help us get through things or are going through the same things. Having connections help make the hard times a little easier. There is a grief that comes from losing those connections but there is also gratitude for having someone with you at the time. It takes eff...
Today, we are talking about who we change, evolve, grow, and heal. We know life changes and people change. Often change happens because life happens. We can choose to change for the better and sometimes for the worse. With consistency and consciously we can become a different version of ourselves. It will take effort, it will mean failing, and it can lead to some amazing opportunities. It is up to you. #change #evolution #growth #s...
Today, we are talking about the alignment between your head, your heart, and your intuition. We often will try to logic our way into or out of things, even when our heart wants something different. It is helpful to allow space for your feelings so we can process our way to a fuller picture of what are dealing with. It might also be helpful to clean up our head, shifting our internal voice to something a little kinder. Doing so will...
Today, we are talking about positivity versus reality. There are times we work hard to "stay positive" in the face of challenges. It might be a better use of energy to be realistic about our capacity for engagement, choosing consciously who we can be real with. #realist #authenticity #ominouspositivity #toxicpositivity
Today, we are talking about feeling accepted in our relationships. Are we being seen and understood, all of our parts at the same time? Are we seeing and accepting ourselves. It can ben challenging to be aware of how we show up in relationship when we are too busy criticizing ourselves. Take an opportunity to see who shows in your life if we appreciate all of who we are. #acceptance #relationships #beinghuman #selflove
Today, we are talking about the concept of proving love or earning love. Often, we start in one place in relationship and can get off course as life happens. When we feel like love is transactional, it makes the whole point of connection and acceptance more challenging. #proveyourlove #connection #relationships #receivinglove
Today, we are talking about hook up culture and dating on the apps for connection. It is helpful to consider how our brain and endorphins play into connection. Thinking about what the goals are when engaging in dating, in which ever you choose to do it. #hookup #mentalhealth #dating #connection
Today, is hard podcast. I want to acknowledge this is different from my other content. We are experiencing so many weird things including human rights violations. Protect your mental health. Protest peacefully, mindfully, and stay safe. Curate a feed social media that doesn’t further your anxiety. Talk to people. Reach out to your friends.
“Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no ...
Today, we are talking about dysfunctional families. I think all families function to the level of awareness. There are helpful and unhelpful parts of these systems. As we increase and change our awareness, we can add tool and skill to create better systems and better functional families. #dysfunctionalfamlies #familysystems #mentalhealth #skillbuilding #changingpatterns
Today, we are talking about men's mental health. Men are struggling, and consequently, woman are feeling those effects. With marriage rates down and social media movements of men bashing, I wanted to add a different perspective to the conversation. Check in with the partners, friends, dads, brothers and others. Help create a space for their vulnerability.

Today, we are talking about the myth of perfection. So often we have an idea of what something should feel like, look like, of be and we lose sight of what it is. I was inspired by listening to "The Gift 14 lessons to save your life" by Dr. Edith Eger who is a holocaust survivor, mother, and psychotherapist. She has been through really challenging horrible things and continues to live a beautiful life. #notperfect #existentialthera...
Today, we are talking about self-awareness. Part of healing, growing, and changing behavior is being aware of who we are and how we show up in the world. Not with criticism and judgement, but with compassion and patience. #selfawareness #mentalhealth #howdidigethere #skillbuilding #getcurious
Today, we are talking about rebuilding and repairing. As we evolve in our human experience we get so many opportunities to evaluate the different parts of ourselves. Part of doing that is repairing old thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors. We can make a plan and create new parts rebuilding to the new version of who we want to be. #couplestherapy #evolving #newskills #repair #rebuild
Today, we are talking about how we betray ourselves. In one's life we make decisions and choose to live in a way that is inauthentic to who we actually are. Sometimes, it a conscious choice, and other times it is several small choices over time. Pay attention to how you feel when you make those decisions. Start to create space in your life for your whole self. #betrayal #authenticself #beyourself #healingandgrowing
Today, we are talking about compartmentalization experiences and emotions. It is sometimes helpful, if not necessary, to put those aside to continue carrying on through life, especially when those things are challenging. #compartmentalize #mentalhealth #gettingthrough #wholeself #feelings
Today, we are talking about Surrender and how helpful it is to just sit down sometimes. We are all dealing with so many things. It feels like overwhelmed, frustrated, sad, angry, afraid, and exhausted. One of the only ways to get through really hard times is to take a moment to surrender. Not give up, but slow down. Take care of your basic needs, breathe, make a plan, and then get up and keep doing. #anxiety #surrender #sitdown #ta...
Today, we are talking about the different mindsets. How we look at the world depending on our attitudes, beliefs, feelings, thoughts, and assumptions. We get to choose how we move through challenges by shifting our mindset or perspective. #mindsetmatters #intention #assumptions #experiences
