Nourish To Flourish Podcast

On today's episode Christine and Bethany discuss how what we turn to in our free time can be shaped by our upbringing, our circle of influence and our personality.

Welcome to the second episode of the mini series discussing Christine's book, "Designing Empowered Women". On today's episode Beth & Christine chat about taking accountability for where you're at! The Racic women highlight how owning accountability acts as a HUGE part in the healing journey, and although it can be triggering at times.. It. Is. Essential. Know better - Do better. They also give a sneak peak as to what's next for the Racic women - this is not one you want to miss!!

Go grab your runners, lace up, head out for a walk and enjoy the company of Beth and Christine as they begin the journey of a mini series about Christine's book, "Designing Empowered Women". For the first episode of the mini series they discuss a brief overview of what all the book entails and dive into the first chapter entitled, "The Starting Place". They chat about different starting places as well as go over some of the exercises in the chapter providing opportunity for you to get a taste of the books purpose which is supporting/guiding women to walk through their journey of empowerment.

In this episode I am joined once again by Momma Racic to discuss the underlying root of why we experience burnout, and what ways we can address it, and what we can do in order to prevent it. We focus on boundaries, leaning on your tribe and some self actualization.

In today's episode I am blessed with the presence of Ma, Momma Racic, THE Christine Racic!! We are chatting about the detrimental patterns of binging - What are examples of triggers and roots. And how do we stop the cycle in order to break free from this self sabotaging practice. 

This episode focuses on how children who have suffered abandonment, narcissistic behaviours, or manipulation from their families can break the cycle. For many of us who have experienced any of these devastating realities, there are unforeseen consequences that later show up in adulthood. Haley speaks on how her relationship with her father growing up affected her ability to trust those closest around her in her adult life. She breaks down her experiences that now translate into lessons that have taught her how to navigate through those past traumas using deep self-reflection. *WARNING* this episode may be a trigger for any of us who have been offended by being labelled as someone with the stigma behind having “daddy issues”.

Is the mindset of scarcity hindering your growth? Do you feel like there are things you’d like to accomplish but you’ll never have enough money, time, connections etc.? On today’s episode we will focus on how you think and how what you believe in life to be true impacts the way you act toward yourself and toward those around you. We will also discuss how a powerful shift in perspective can change the trajectory of your life. Together, let’s grow from a mindset of scarcity to a mindset of living wholeheartedly, while walking in alignment with our purpose.

Have you or someone you know experienced guilt or shame? More than likely. Although, do you know how to properly recognize and understand your shame triggers? Do you have the connection networks you need in order to support you? What is your role in your tribe when supporting someone close who is experiencing shame or guilt? On today’s episode we’re going to talk about these questions and share our personal experiences (including a taste of my PPD journey). Referencing the research done by Brene Brown, we walk through all things related, starting with acknowledgement and ending with service toward those around you.

Fight or flight? Stand firm or hit the highway? What do you do when faced with adversity? What do you turn to? Can you fuel yourself from the courage within you to face your fears? Or do you run? Drawing from the previous episode, I felt called to share my personal self-sabotaging behaviours & practices. The triggering act of being raw and exposed in this episode had caused it’s delay in being released. However, I acknowledge the friction and decide to journey through its hesitating pull on me. I recognize my fear in being vulnerable, and continue to push past fear’s grip. In the release of this episode I choose to release myself from any guilt or shame associated with my seemingly inherent need to run. I ask you, are you willing to do the same alongside me?

What does it mean to self-sabotage? What’s the route of it all? What are fixed beliefs? Does your tribe influence these behaviours? Do you resonate with feelings of stagnation? Maybe you’re the one whose holding you back! This episode features Mama Racic, who is a registered psychologist with over a decade of post-secondary education specializing in human behaviours, growth and development. With a plethora of knowledge, Mama breaks down what self-sabotaging is all about and how to put a stop to it.
