  • When They've Done You Wrong (& They're Not Sorry): Meeting Defensiveness with Clarity & Power
    Jun 20 2024

    What do you do when someone refuses to acknowledge their wrongdoing?

    Often times, we can find ourselves trying to explain and justify why you're hurt or how they've harmed you, hoping that if you can just get them to understand and acknowledge what they did to you, that you'll be able to move on.

    However, when someone refuses to see your point of view, and won't take responsibility for their actions, regardless of how much evidence, facts or information you give them, you need to stop and realize that you are in a futile game of tug of war.

    Trying to do repair and reconciliation with someone who is full of denial and defensiveness, can be incredibly frustrating, hurtful and exhausting.

    So in today's episode of Is it Me or is it Them? I'm sharing five questions you need to ask yourself to get out of gridlock.

    This episode is going to help you:

    * take back some power
    * protect your own wellbeing
    * stop wasting energy by trying to explain and justify yourself
    * start finding more clarity and peace in the midst of a really crappy situation.
    * find a faster route to peace.

  • Body Insecurities + Self-Loathing + How to Stop Chasing Perfect and Start Living More Now.
    May 29 2024

    Ever felt like you need to change your body before you can feel free to enjoy your life?

    Like you go to the beach but hide under a towel?

    Or you get invited to a pool party but all you feel is dread?

    Today we’re talking about the thinking traps that stop us from feeling more confident and free in our bodies and how we hold ourselves back from having fun and living fully.

    I’m sharing some personal experiences and powerful insights from my work as a therapist and breaking down how societal pressures lead to self-loathing and inhibit us from fully participating in life's beautiful moments.

    We need to stop chasing perfection and start living more fully right now, instead of waiting for the elusive magical moment when we suddenly feel good enough.

    By examining the fear of judgment and the elusive quest for physical perfection, I highlight the deep emotional and relational costs of these beliefs. Let's shift our focus together, moving from self-criticism to self-acceptance and paving the way for true freedom and joy.

    This episode is a celebration of the present. Don’t wait for a flatter tummy or a bigger butt to start living fully. Embrace who you are right now and appreciate the amazing things your body can do today. I'll share inspiring stories and practical tips to help you seize the moment and move through your day with confidence. Your future self will thank you for recognizing your worth today. As I head off to enjoy a breathtaking hike along the cliffs of Lagos, Portugal, I invite you to appreciate your own journey and leave a review if this message resonates with you. Let's spread this empowering mindset far and wide!
