Well...I'm coming to you *straight* from personal experience this week. We're going to talk about COVID anxiety on the podcast. Because, spoiler alert: COVID-19 hit the McCormick household….
3 Years, No Alcohol
It's Ok to Not Be Ok
Emotions & Moods & Personalities
Emotional Fatigue
Uncertainty, Canceling, & Change
Wow. What a year last week was, huh? (Is that joke getting old yet?? Haha...)
2020 keeps piling on the intensity for sure. And I want to take a few minutes this week and talk with you about uncertainty, canceling, and change. Because it seems as if a lot of us are stuck in one gear of 2020-intensity and could benefit from hitting the *pause* button and coming up for air to remind ourselves what's what…
Survival of the Nurtured
You've heard of "survival of the fittest," yeah? The idea that those most suited to the environment are the most likely to survive? And yeah, there's a lot to Darwin's theory of natural selection of course. We see this play out all around us: from the animals in nature to the boardrooms in corporate America…
What is Life Coaching?
This week on The Transforming Anxiety Podcast, I wanted to share my thoughts on coaching with you. Y'know, go back to the basics: what are we doing around here anyway? What is at the heart of this work? Who is it for?
I think of life coaching as coaching for the game of life. I know, duh. But I really do…
Finding Calm
The Never-Ending Bear Hunt
Are you familiar with the children's book We're Going on a Bear Hunt? In case you haven't been inside a preschool in the past, well, ever, it's a children's story about overcoming obstacles.
For some reason, 4 kids, a baby, and a dog are on this adventure (hunting bears?!) and they encounter a bunch of barriers (a deep cold river, thick oozy mud, a big dark forest) on their way to the bear's cave…
On the Floor
Well, this isn't the sexiest podcast episode, buuuut, what it lacks in glamour and happily-ever-after it makes up for in vulnerability, real-life anxiety, and legit: this is why I do this work.
If you're curious, join me for this week's episode of The Transforming Anxiety Podcast where I'm sharing my most recent *on the floor* moment with you, and how I'm taking care of myself after the meltdown…
Untethered & Groundless
If you had a dollar for every time you've recently heard, "these are uncertain times," am I right?
Listen, times *are* uncertain. But not any more uncertain than pre-pandemic. Times have always been exactly this uncertain...
So how do we deal with that sensation of being untethered and groundless? Where do we find certainty? Why do these times feel more uncertain than normal?…
I Want OUT of Anxiety
Resisting Anxiety
Is your idea of “handling” anxiety pushing it away, numbing it out, and avoiding it altogether?
I get it. And you're certainly not alone if this seems like a solid plan for managing the ick. In fact, this week on The Transforming Anxiety Podcast, we're going to talk about resisting anxiety and why outright resistance doesn't work...or serve you…
Breathing Room
We're doing something a little different this week on The Transforming Anxiety Podcast! I'm sharing a bit about where I'm at, in my personal journey and in my offerings for you, and then I'm inviting you to take a short seat with me for a sweet meditation backed up with music from the amazing DJ Sol Rising.
