Reclaiming Rest

In today's fast-paced world, the importance of rest often takes a back seat to our busy lives. In addition, we encounter myths about rest that may prevent us from fully embracing its benefits. So, let's dive into some myths you may have heard or still believe and uncover the truth about the power of rest as a form of self-care.

Join me, Alicia Caldwell, in a discussion about reclaiming the power of rest for our mental well-being. During this discussion, I’ll address three myths that may be holding you back from the rest and restoration that you need to function at optimal levels in your life, career, and relationships.

Myths Discussed:

Rest is a form of laziness.
Rest is a sign of weakness.
Sleep is enough rest to sustain us.

Truths Discussed:

Rest is an intentional form of rejuvenation that can increase our productivity.
Rest increases mental resilience and strengthens our ability to resist the negative effects of stress.
Sleep is important, but it is not enough to counteract the multiple streams of stress we face each day.

Do it Tired

Have you ever felt the frustration of mental or physical exhaustion while on the path to manifesting success in life or career? If so, this episode is for you. Join me, Alicia Caldwell, as I share possible contributors to exhaustion and strategies that have helped me continue to progress, despite mine.

There are so many conversations about us "doing it afraid," but so much judgment when we can't figure out how to do it when we're tired, overwhelmed, or exhausted.

Episode Takeaways:

1. Restorative self-care is a key ingredient to doing it tired.

2. Prioritize and simplify. Focus on what matters most. Create your priority list and break tasks into small and manageable steps.

3. Take restful breaks to recharge your body throughout the day.

4. Ask for help. Resist the urge to struggle alone during bouts of exhaustion.

5. Say "no" as needed to avoid overcommitting.

"Exhaustion may trip you up, but it doesn't have to count you out."

Destroy the Weeds of Fear

It’s been a while, but welcome back to the Me Myself and HER Podcast! For those who are new here, I’m Alicia Caldwell, a licensed professional counselor turned mental empowerment speaker. I created this podcast as an extension of my Live Like HER® community. In each episode, I share practical and effective strategies on how we can lead and succeed in life, career, and relationships without sacrificing our mental health. Sometimes I sprinkle in some other topics that are on my heart to share, but no matter the topic my mission is the same – “Change the world one mentally empowered person at a time.”

In this return episode of the Me Myself and HER Podcast, I explore the fears that often hold us back from reaching and exceeding our full potential – the fear of failure and the fear of success. This episode explores the importance of self-awareness in recognizing the weeds of fear and using courage and confidence to grow and prosper despite them.

“Fear is not the enemy. Lack of self-awareness and strategy are.”
