Many of us have dreams and goals but often find ourselves getting in our own way. This week, we're joined by Mental Health Expert Sam Seigerman, also known as the "No Filter Therapist," to explore the mental health issues that keep us stuck and learn how to overcome them. Sam shares her personal journey from growing up with ADHD and navigating depression to finding her place in therapy and holistic healing. Today, Sam's mission is to empower individuals to navigate life's transitions by breaking cycles and integrating their mind, body, and spirit.

In this episode, we discuss:

• How things falling apart can lead to self-discovery.
• Understanding your inner voice versus external influences.
• Using Internal Family Systems to move through fear and take aligned action.
• Integrating mind and body through somatic healing.
• The power of pushing past discomfort in meditation to reprogram negative self-talk.
• The dangers of perfectionism in healing and therapy.
• Giving ourselves permission to feel and express anger healthily.
• Embracing imperfection and recognizing there's no wrong way to heal.

This week, we're thrilled to welcome back our dear friend Erica Bogdan, founder of Brightsiding, to dive into the often-confusing world of anxiety and intuition.

We also discuss:

• Erica's bold decision to leave her job at Google and fully invest in Brightsiding.
• How defining your values helps identify thoughts driven by fear.
• The roles of deservingness and willingness in following your intuition.
• Recognizing and acting on repetitive thoughts rooted in curiosity and desire to build trust in yourself.
• Transforming negative self-talk into opportunities for self-nurturing and honoring your needs.
• Healing your inner child and reconnecting with your innate intuition.
• Identifying when to let go of situations and relationships that no longer serve you.
• Understanding the origins of intrusive thoughts as a step toward healing and rewriting them.
• Grounding your intuition in reality and balancing responsibility with risk-taking.
• Offering ourselves grace and compassion when we feel we've made a "mistake."
