045: Meditation, Mindfulness, and How Our Brains Can Change & Experience More Peace and Presence With Joree Rose Oct 24, 2022

Show notes

Mindfulness is one of the most powerful tools that we have to experience more peace and presence, so why don't we practice it more? Well, I think a big reason is because we don't truly understand what mindfulness is! Joree says, "Mindfulness isn't something you add to your to-do list, it's something you add to your to-be list."

Joree Rose is a therapist, a mindfulness and meditation teacher, a coach, an author and a speaker. And she's somebody that I absolutely LOVE to chat with a mindfulness. She explains mindfulness and teaches it in ways that I've never heard anyone do it before. And she actually makes me feel super excited and good about practicing mindfulness. She is so passionate about helping people to live their lives on purpose, with greater ease, presence and joy.

So if you're not so clear on what mindfulness is, or you're underestimating just how powerful it is, or you've tried to practice it and just feel like you didn't get what you were hoping for, or you're already a fan of mindfulness and you want more, this episode is for you!

In this episode, Joree dives into:

The difference between meditation and mindfulness and what they are
The science behind why we struggle to be present and to do things differently
Rewiring your brain with neuroplasticity (it's not as complicated or as boring as it may sound, I promise!)
Why practicing meditation and mindfulness is important
How to quiet your emotional brain (aka the amygdala)
How to start building an awareness that actually leads to peace, presence, and enlightenment

044: My Journey With Toilet Anxiety - With 5 Helpful Tips! Oct 17, 2022

Show notes

In this episode, I'm talking about something that I hid from everyone for years - toilet anxiety!

While toilet anxiety can mean a few different things, I’m specifically talking about the fear of being too far from a toilet, aka not being able to make it to a bathroom in time. And for some this looks like the fear of not being able to make it to a bathroom in time and peeing their pants, while for others it’s the fear of pooping their pants, or it’s a combination of both! For me, it was mostly the fear of pooping my pants.

I know that there are lots of people who struggle with toilet anxiety, and I know how absolutely debilitating this fear is, so my hope is that my story and these 5 tips help you immensely!

038: Q&A: Your Questions About Anxiety, Panic Disorder, & Agoraphobia Recovery Answered Part 2 Sep 05, 2022

Show notes

In this week's part 2 episode, I'm answering more of your questions!

And when I was going through your questions, I noticed some big themes. Things like a lack of self-confidence, and fearing fear, and feeling overwhelmed, and self-doubt, and a lack of trust in yourself and your capabilities. And these are big areas where lots of people struggle in the recovery journey, so these are all things that I’m going to hit on today!

Here's a sneak peak of some of the questions I'm answering in this episode:

Where can I start to gain some self-confidence?
My anxiety is no longer provoked by everyday events. How do I get to the next level?
Will it ever get easier? It feels overwhelming to think of all that I still have to work on.
My biggest obstacle is wondering how far the anxiety attack will go. Will I faint? Will I lose my notion of time and space? What can happen to me? It is really hard for me to just stay there and let the anxiety be.
Is being consistent every day the only way to truly recover?

036: I Quit My Job After Working in Healthcare for 17 Years - Let’s Talk About Doing Hard Things! Aug 22, 2022

Show notes

Just a couple of weeks back, I took my own advice and I gave myself a (BIG, but) healthy push! Not feeling ready, not feeling super confident, and feeling scared as heck... I quit my job in healthcare after working in the field for 17 years! And yeah, I still kind of can’t believe that I actually did it.

I want to share this journey with you because it's been a really hard one, one that's been full of some really amazing lessons, some new and some old. And I think that these lessons are ones that will be helpful to you, too! And I also just want to share this journey with you because you are a part of my life, and I love having you on this journey with me. Because truthfully, YOU are a big reason why I had the courage to finally jump off of the cliff and step into my passion.
