122 Good Grief

So normally this time of year, I produce a special Christmas episode that is all about the season, but this year, I’ve decided to do things differently.  I know that we are in what’s considered the most wonderful time of the year, but I cannot ignore the difficulty that many people are facing, including myself, this holiday season.  Right now life may be described how Charles Dickens said it “it was the best of times and the worst of times.”  You may have a lot of really good things going on in life, but you’re also having to deal with some really hard things like grief.  So, today we are going to talk about grief.  I have lost 2 family members in the last 5 months and I know so many people around me and in this world are mourning the loss of a loved one, so this holiday season, we are going to keep it real and talk about grief, what it looks like, and how to deal with it, and I hope to inspire you to give it some time.

121 Handling Conflict With People You Care About

So, over this holiday season, you may be spending more time or talking to your family a little more than normal. And in that communication, there may be some conflict. Sometimes you may not agree, or you may get on each other’s nerves, or old issues may come into the present. Whatever the case, I want to help you handle this conflict in a way that it does not ruin your relationship. I want to give you my top 3 tips to help you handle issues with the ones you care about in a way that keeps your relationship intact. And so I hope to inspire you to fight fair.

 

120 I'm Late!

Every year websites and magazines come out with the top 30 people under the age of 30 or maybe even a 40 under 40. For most, it is an honor to be apart of this list. But through my work as a therapist I’ve seen far too often how this correlation between success and age has lead to a generation of people, especially women, who determine their worth by how much they accomplish, how many boxes they check, and how much they do before a set age. This mindset has lead to many people feeling anxious, depressed, and unsatisfied with their blessed life, all because of timing. In today’s episode I want to discuss the danger of this narrative and show you how to break this toxic mental cycle. And I hope to inspire you to take your time.

119 It's Impossible

It’s impossible!  How many times have you said or heard that?  It’s just impossible.  No matter whether it’s your ideas about school, your career, or even in raising your children, it’s like there’s always somebody there with their two cents and saying “it’s impossible.”  Well, I’m here to tell you that those people are wrong.  In today’s episode, we will talk about sources of positivity for your life, how to set boundaries against the nay-sayers, and how to put yourself on a path towards bringing the impossible to life.  And I hope to inspire you to believe it’s possible.

118 Untraditional Holiday: How to Adjust

Happy holidays!!! Well…maybe this holiday, you aren’t feeling too happy.  Things are different, very different, more different than they have been in most of our lifetimes.  And while we all had hopes that things would be back to normal by now, they aren’t and we are now entering into the holiday during a pandemic.  I’m sure, like me, many of your plans have changed and you may be having a hard time adjusting and accepting the hand that life has currently delt.  In today’s episode we are going to discuss how to make the most of life even when it isn’t going as planned and I hope to inspire you to give new things a try.

117 Are You Afraid of Success?

So last week we talk about doing it big and I gave you all the reasons why you should go live out your wildest dreams! Now, we often discuss the fear of failure which is one of the biggest fears that keeps us from going for it, I wanted to explore an equally powerful fear, that is the fear of success. In today’s episode, we will discuss the fear of success, what it may look like in your life, and what to do about it. And I hope to inspire you to face your deepest fear.

116 Girl, Do It BIG!

So, today’s episode is inspired by Kamala Harris, Stacy Abrams, Keshia Lancebottom, and every other woman who has gone above and beyond.  From Michelle Obama to Dr. Jill Biden, to my momma, I have been inspired by these amazing women, and today I want to inspire you to go above and beyond in your life, just like these women have.  In today’s episode, I am going to talk about the reasons why we don’t go for it and the reasons why we should go for it.  And I hope to inspire you to do it big!

115 Shine Through the Darkness Pt. 2

November is here and it is truly one of the most wonderful times of the year. But this year is noticeably different. A lot has changed in 2020 that may make this time of year a little more difficult than normal. We have to deal with losing an hour of sunlight on top of everything that was already going crazy in 2020. So today’s episode is here to be a quick pick me up to help you figure out how to adjust to this new season and I hope to inspire you to shine in the darkness.
