  • SheVOLVE Episode 4 - Say Yes to YOU!
    Jul 17 2024
    In our last episode, we talked about being more mindful about the negative words we say to others and ourselves. While we both "fell off the wagon" a little bit in our intentionality on this practice, today we discuss a bit about how every day is ripe with opportunities for us to look at the way we think about and react to the situations and encounter. In regards to saying yes to ourselves, whether in doing new things or just doing the things we want through, we often put off or fail to do the things we really want to by getting in our own way through negative self talk or other excuses. If this sounds like you, you may want to consider asking yourself a few questions when you get into an internal tug-of-war:
    • What are the good things that can come from doing this activity?
    • How am I going to feel about myself tomorrow if I do this activity?
    • What about if I don't do it?
    • Is there a way I can do this activity and overcome or accommodate the factors I'm concerned about?
    Our goal is to say YES to ourselves more often while working to understand and grow through the things that previously held us back. Podcast Resources

  • SheVOLVE Episode 3 - Cut Out Complaining
    Jul 10 2024
    When you let go of electronic and mental distractions like we've talked about doing in the last two episodes, the idea is to make room for good things, right? Or at least things that are more rewarding than "doom-scrolling" and other less than mindful activities. But what do we do when what we notice with our newfound head-space is negative comments and complaints? And what if they aren't just about other things and people, but also ourselves? This week we're talking about some of our explorations since the last episode. (Gael tried some big new things including an awesome hike and using her new camper; I talk about some of my experiences with trying some new kinds of meditation and giving up alcohol for 31 days). Interestingly, when we change and try new things, it can trigger unexpected reactions in ourselves AND the others in our life. Some of this could include some negative comments from ourselves and others. So for us, it seems like a natural next "superpower" to explore is to cut out complaining. One thing we both think it is important to remember is that speaking up for yourself or providing necessary feedback is not the same as complaining! Resources and links for things we talked about:

  • SheVOLVE Episode 2: Making Mental Space
    Jul 3 2024
    In our last episode, we talked about giving up social media and electronics was easier for both of us than expected. We realized that we have been connected to it for different reasons and approached detaching from it in different ways. Letting go of it a little more than normal was a welcome relief for us both and we really enjoyed the space it gave us in our lives. Setting aside the electronics allowed us to prioritize, invest in, and say yes to ourselves more.
