Ep #95: Getting Real About How You Feel
One of the core tools that I share with you here on the podcast to heal your codependent, perfectionist, and people-pleasing habits is the thought work protocol.

Like a firehose of emotion that’s constantly turned on within them, flooding them with…

What comes to mind if I asked you to prioritize pleasure in your life? So many of us have no idea what pleasure really entails or why it matters, and if you’re socialized as a woman, you likely have been led to believe that it’s more of a nice-to-have, rather than a necessity in your…

Read MoreOverthinking Doesn’t Make You More Prepared
Have you ever stayed up late at night thinking about something that happens the next day because you feared you weren’t prepared enough for it? Rolling around and thinking and overthinking and worrying. Maybe it was a test, a work presentation, an event you planned, a conversation you need to have. Have you ever agonized…
