Ep #66: Compare and Despair
Most of us are at home right now with a lot of time on our hands. You’re most likely buffering in a few ways, but one that’s common is using things like social media, scrolling Instagram, and seeing that other people seem to be doing so much and being so productive. Your heart might sink…
Read MoreCompare and Despair: How to Release Judgement
Do you ever hear about a friend’s achievements and your heart sinks? You’re totally happy for them, but something within you starts wondering why you didn’t get that job, that engagement proposal, why you didn’t reach that goal or milestone in the same timeframe that they did.

Read MoreEmotional Childhood
As children, we have limited capacity to control our emotions, and even less ability to take ownership over our behavior. Because we’re kiddos – and developmentally, we just aren’t there yet.

Whether it comes up for you when your partner keeps forgetting to take out the trash, or when a parent says something that upsets you, choosing resentment and holding onto it is…
Read MoreLetting Go of Resentment: It’s Not Personal
Resentment is a powerful siren song. For a moment when you feel hurt, it feels so good to blame someone else for how you feel, to tear them down, defending yourself. “She’s a monster,” you mutter under your breath. “She’s the worst.” But the thing about sirens is that they only lead your ship to…

Ever spent a sleepless night worrying about making a decision? Or not taken a leap because choosing to invest in yourself or stretch beyond what you’ve done before feels so scary? Ever heard yourself saying, “I don’t know how. I don’t know what to do. What if I make the wrong decision?” I get it.…
