New episodes land every Wednesday…
I have something really important for you this week on The Transforming Anxiety Podcast : we're going to talk about breathing for anxiety .
For sure, someone somewhere along the way has suggested you "take a deep breath" when they noticed you were feeling anxious or overwhelmed. You've likely handed out this advice yourself; it's almost a knee-jerk response when we see someone is upset. "Ok...take a deep breath..."…
We're doing it...we almost made it to the end of 2022. Can you believe it? I know we always say that because humans seem to be mesmerized by time passing, but honestly, in this case, I almost can't believe it. What we've all been through, the tumult of this moment in history, is so intense. Our nervous systems are on fire. And...we're doing it. Hard, messy, icky though it may be, we. are. doing. it…
This week on The Transforming Anxiety Podcast we're going to explore protecting your headspace . Think of your mind as a plot of land, all the real estate that you have in your mind, just like a city. When we aren't paying attention, the real estate in our minds get rented out to low-level thoughts, phone notifications, and other people's ideas about what we should do…
This week on The Transforming Anxiety Podcast we're discussing thoughts, but in a way we've never talked about it before: we're going to explore the quality of your thinking .
Here's what I mean. We talk a lot about WHAT you think about. And how your thoughts affects your emotions, your actions, and how your life goes overall…
This week on The Transforming Anxiety Podcast we're going back to the basics; we're going to talk about the foundation of you.
A foundation is the lowest level of a structure, the load-bearing support that holds everything up. And THAT is what I want to consider with you today…
Welcome to a 4-part series that I'm doing through The Transforming Anxiety Podcast feed called: Mindfulness Monday.
Each Monday from August 8 - August 29 we're going to explore a different aspect of mindfulness meditation. By now, no doubt you've heard about the benefits of meditation. Maybe you've tried it yourself, but it hasn't stuck...or maybe you're not sure where to start.
One of the most valuable things we, as people who tend towards anxiety, can learn to do is regulate our nervous systems.
Why?
Feeling anxious ups the adrenaline and cortisol in your system. And you become a bit of a pressure cooker, constantly turning up the volume with more to-do lists, more people-pleasing, and more perfectionism…
One of the hottest topics with my clients is self-trust...it doesn't matter if you want to break old habits (i.e. overdrinking, staying up too late, feeling anxious) or clean up your (physical / mental / emotional / financial) health routine or simply feel good in your own skin, whatever it is you want for yourself that you don't currently have? It requires self-trust…
We are all *well versed* in the benefits of physical fitness at this point. It's no secret that exercising regularly is great for our bodies, minds, and supports us emotionally, too.
And I got to thinking...what about being mentally fit? What would it look like to extend our ideas of physical fitness to our mental and emotional states, too? And not just the perks of moving our bodies, but intentionally cultivating mental fitness…
Women struggle with anxiety for a handful of reasons, but one of the biggies is a lack of confidence.
We treat confidence like we got lucky and have it, or don't. That it's something we may magically feel someday down the road, but can't right now. That it's on the opposite end of the emotional spectrum from anxiety...meaning: we can either feel anxious OR confident, but certainly not both…
This week's episode of The Transforming Anxiety Podcast is one that cuts straight to the heart of *so much* of the anxiety that we create for ourselves...
Like, have you noticed when you do something that puts you on edge (say, going to the dentist, or being in a large crowd) your tendency is to pretend that everything is fine and you are totally cool?…
One of the truthiest truths I know is that we are all trying to get control. Control of the kids, our schedules, our bank accounts...control of the pandemic news, the political opinions, the understanding we have about what's going on in the world...control of our minds, how we're feeling, and what we're DOING, dammit…
