September Collective Reading - Drop the Lack Mindset and Choose to See Possibilities

September seems to be a continuation of the message of August, reevaluating our relationship to work and how we operate in the world, as well as our attachment to the material reality. This month is asking us to drop any of the limiting beliefs or lack mindset associated with not feeling like we are doing enough, earning enough, being enough. BUT WE'VE HAD ENOUGH. Dare to choose to see the possibilities, for they are all around you.

August brings messages of reevaluating our relationship with our work, career, and vocation in this life. Are we relating in a way that brings us joy and energy, or are we creating a relationship based on not enough, scarcity, or burnout? This month's collective reading calls on us to bring awareness, in addition to creating more self-care practices for ourselves and how we expend energy in service of the material.

Anxiety seems all too familiar these days, the feelings of discomfort, heart beating fast, constant vigilance, you name it. I share about my recent experience of being in my head, feeling anxious thoughts, and it getting to the point where it's getting in the way of me living.

Talking about our mental health and our struggles is a key part of opening up to vulnerability. Many people say that suffering is a part of the human condition, but how do we transcend this "limitation"? How do we live our lives despite the chaos around us? In this episode, I talk about the biological understanding of human behavior and some of the science and psychology behind anxiety and our body's fear response. Tune in if you have been curious about anxiety, how to handle big feelings, or really anything existential lol.

For more conversation about the mental health disparities in BIPOC communities, check out the episode "Breaking The Stigma of Mental Health with Ingram Stovall, LMSW" at this link, sooo good!!

July is all about learning to relate with our emotions in a way that is more balanced, more at ease. Instead of identifying completely with a triggering emotion or experience, we take a moment of pause to allow the feeling to come through, but we do not "live" in that space permanently.

TW: death, grief, loss, school shooting

In this episode, we get real deep on the topic of death, grief, trauma, and chaos.

I share some of my experiences with grief and loss, especially within the last several months.

We discuss:

• navigating the grieving process
• how grief can be so personal (while also being universal)
• the physiology of trauma and how it affects our body and mind
• some coping strategies and tips for healing
• the absurdity of life and death and everything in between

We are moving!! In this episode, I share all about the rollercoaster of emotions that is closing out a chapter and beginning a new one. A 30 year chapter!! Leaving my hometown seems like a great idea, but I'm learning there are residual fears and anxieties about leaving and beginning a new journey. We talk about different mindset shifts I have made in order to reframe all of this uncertainty as something beautiful rather than scary. Closing chapters is a natural part of the cycles we experience as natural beings, and when we can surrender to the flow, we are granted the opportunity to enjoy the ride.
