After wrestling with the cultural expectation to prioritize intellect over emotion, I've come to a profound realization about the power of embracing our feelings, especially in moments of stress and joy.

Today we navigate the complex terrain of our emotional world, where I share my journey of self-discovery and the transformative impact of acknowledging every feeling that arises. We explore the idea of "foreboding joy," a term brought to light by the insightful Brené Brown, and discuss why allowing ourselves to bask in happiness without fear is essential for our emotional well-being.

Through the lens of my own experiences in therapy and the Manage Your Stress mentorship, I'll reveal the life-changing benefits of developing an emotional vocabulary and the importance of nervous system hygiene.

It's time to challenge societal norms dictating which feelings are valid, particularly for women, and to arm ourselves with the practical tools necessary for stress management and emotional regulation.

Have you ever felt the ground shift beneath you, not from an earthquake, but from an internal revelation? This is the journey Allison Guilbault, licensed therapist and mindset coach, walks us through—a journey marked by resilience, dedication, and a profound shift from the high-stakes world of forensic psychology to the empowering realm of coaching women toward self-liberation.

Allison's story is a vivid illustration of the power held in personal choice, an invaluable blueprint for anyone on the precipice of their own transformative leap.

Embarking on a career in a male-dominated field like the FBI can be a daunting venture, but as Allison reveals, the lessons learned and skills honed can become treasured assets in the seemingly disparate field of mental health care.

Detail orientation and the art of inquiry are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to transferable skills that Allison has seamlessly woven into her therapy practice. This episode peels back the layers on how embracing adaptability, shattering limiting beliefs, and harnessing one's diverse background can propel us forward, not just professionally but personally.

Allison steers us into the heart of self-advocacy, confidence, and the complex dance between anxiety and self-assurance. Through her own narrative and the stories of those she's coached, Alison illuminates the importance of setting boundaries, shedding shame, and cultivating a sense of worth that is impervious to societal pressures.

Today's episode I strip away the noise of constant media consumption to uncover the profound effects on our brains and well-being. My own venture into a TV-free week revealed a trove of benefits, from deeper sleep to a mind free of clutter.

I'll cover how everything we consume shapes our perceptions, subtly influencing everything from our beliefs to those pesky song lyrics stuck on repeat. As I reflect on the wisdom of the iconic Prince regarding content censorship, we'll also confront the captivating designs of technology that often monopolize our attention.

This episode is a reminder of the crucial role of self-care and mindfulness in the contemporary whirlwind of life.

I share intimate moments of rest found in the simplicity of watching a candle dance or simply being in one place and paying attention to that opportunity to mend, rejuvenate, and forge a deeper connection with self. Take this invitation to explore the art of subtraction in your daily life—finding beauty in pausing, breathing, and simply being.
