In this week's episode of The Millennial Reset, we're joined by licensed clinical psychologist, and mental health contributor to Good Morning America, Dr. Abena Berry, to learn what the heck it even really means to "find yourself" after decades of conditioning and "masking up" to fit with societal expectations.

Millennials have always dreamed of a life with more purpose and creativity, but that's a real challenge when we've spent so many years of our adult lives walking around pretending to be an imposter of what we were taught about success and happiness.

Dr. Berry provides us with a few valuable tips to guide us millennials through this healing journey of getting back to your authentic self:

1. Learning never stops. Learning about yourself is an ongoing journey. We struggle, we grow, we learn, and we CHANGE. New learning and insights come with embracing the learning in times of change.
2. You are not your conditioning. Psychology has already shown us that we are NOT born as blank slates, but that is how we are raised by default. Our parents and society "program" us based on what they think will help us, but in reality, it keeps us living in a confined box, rather than living our lives true to US.
3. YOU are the new parent. We can live our lives waiting on someone else, such as our parents, to change, or we can assume the responsibility of becoming the new parent to your brain that you always needed. Do a values inventory, check-in with your beliefs, and start being kinder to yourself! Reparent yourself for the way you want your brain to be wired, instead of the way it got wired by others.

Bottom line, there's nothing to "find" when it comes to your authentic self. It's in you and always been in you, but you just have to uncover it first. That's where the true inner work happens!

What do you miss most about the 90's? Is it the Saturday morning cartoons? Is it the throwback songs/movies/TV shows? Or maybe is it something deeper than that, like the feeling of when things were simpler? We might not be able to transport ourselves back to 1998, but I do think there's things we can be doing to foster the desired EMOTIONS that we feel like we've lost over the years of one unprecedented historical event after another!

That's what we're talking about this week on The Millennial Reset...how can we get back some semblance of the normalcy that we all seem to associate to the 90s/2000s.

Join me as we take a trip down nostalgia lane, and I share my three mindset-based tips for how we can begin to create more simplicity, calm, and connection in our modern-day crazy lives:

1. Creating opportunities to move out of self-isolation and fostering more authentic connections.
2. Purposefully building in a digital detox to foster good dopamine.
3. Leveraging your positive memories to foster a desired inner state of more peace, calm, and slower living.

How would your life would be different if you didn't have a mortgage/rent? How much less anxiety and stress would you have? For all of the millennials that have that dream in the back of their mind to move to the woods in a tiny house where you grow your own food and don't have to worry as much about making ends meet, this week's episode is for YOU!

My guest, Desiree (@pintsizedlife), joins us to share her journey of making the shift from living and working full-time in the city, to building a tiny home with her partner on 5 acres with her own garden and slower pace of life.

We talk about how her life has changed since adopting the tiny home lifestyle, with more freedom, flexibility, and peace. More importantly, we talk realistically about what doesn't change! Even though adopting a more self-sustaining way of life gives you more peace of mind, there's still the societal pressures and daily stressors that can't be escaped.

Even if the physical reality of slower-paced living isn't in the cards for you, I hope this inspires you to start implementing more of what brings you peace, calm, and joy mentally!
