When there are hiccups that totally derail my focus. Times when I struggle with something that seems like it should be much easier than it is...
Mental Load

Let's Talk About Self-Compassion
Something we haven't talked about for a while, but need to return to every so often, is self-compassion.

Macro & Micro-People Pleasing
Happy Wednesday. 😊 I had this interesting epiphany a few weeks ago in a conversation with a friend of mine and thought, yup, we need to talk about that on The Transforming Anxiety Podcast.
