Making Hard Decisions
This episode talks about the thought process that took place while choosing to move to a new city and try a new anxiety medication. It talks about the role of connection, brain chemistry, communal support, and compassion when making hard decisions. Being open is the key here. Take a listen if you need a fresh perspective that will help encourage you to listen to your own intuitive guidance, whatever that may be.
Opening Up + Communication Habits
This episode walks through helpful and unhelpful communication habits that can facilitate or prevent deep conversation and connection from taking place. So often, we are communicating with others through our defense mechanisms rather than from our souls. Opening up is such a key part in being able to create a supportive system of loved ones who you can turn to, and can turn to you when life feels hard.
Ending Mental Health Stigmas
This podcast took more time + effort than any of my other episodes, but it was worth every minute. I got to chat with the founder of @theselfcareseedco about the harm caused by mental stigmas. This topic is near and dear to my heart as I branch out by talking to friends and family about my battle against depression and life as an HSP.
Support has gone the longest way for me and my emotional wellness journey. Unfortunately, stigmas around what depression does and doesn’t look like haven’t made it easy.
We live in a culture that shames speaking out about mental health but mourns suicide. How do we change this? We can educate ourselves and our peers about where these stigmas come from. We can take a look at how our own cultures and family dynamics have influenced thoughts about mental health. We can have tough conversations with loved ones and call out stigmas when they are said. Lastly, we can discover and create content & communities that show the full spectrum of mental health struggles.
Rachel and I aren’t health professionals, so please don’t take our words as fact, but we can share our personal experiences and what we have done to find peace and support in our lives.
Coping with Uncertainty
Fear of uncertainty is one of the most common phobias. It can be daunting to figure out how to address it. This episode walks through a few helpful tools like rituals, routines, open-ended goals, and mental noting of compulsive behaviors when in a fear space. I hope these words bring you insight and comfort on your self-care, self-love, and self-acceptance journey. Warning: there is mention of body neutrality and hypervigilance.
Past Trauma & Present Experience
This episode welcomes Spring and how we can tap into the blessings that each season has to offer. The meat of this episode focuses on how our past traumas affect our present experience. Our triggers and traumas can provide valuable intuitive insight AND they also can present as anxious defense mechanisms. Sitting with our emotions, letting knowings come and go as they please, reflecting on our processing, and communicating what we learn makes it easier to decipher what is intuition and what is insight.
