Matthew Perry, Worthiness, and the Power of Opening Up Nov 15, 2023

Show notes

Vulnerability is not just a virtue; it's a lifeline. In the face of struggle, shame, and the overwhelming pressure to prove your worthiness, PLEASE choose vulnerability instead of choosing isolation. Instead of choosing to go it alone, find a person or a community that gets it.

The Hidden Cost of People-Pleasing Nov 08, 2023

Show notes

Today I want to talk about the TOLL your people pleasing, perfectionism, energy managing, and overachieving behaviors are having on you. These are not so much character traits as they are your nervous system's reactions to perceived dangers. And, because mind-body connection dictates that toxic thoughts are poison in the body, it's important to unlearn these self-defeating habits - and master new ones.

Being Calm AF When They Aren't Oct 04, 2023

Show notes

The most important work I've done for myself over the years has been getting calm AF - which, as you now know, is not a permanent state of blissful serenity, but a willful insistence on protecting my own energy no matter what's going on around me. Because matching someone's bad energy is not helping me or them or anyone else, it's just making things harder and worse.

The Calm AF Diet Sep 27, 2023

Show notes

Today I want to talk about your diet. To be clear, I'm not talking about food or calories or restriction. I'm talking about the Calm AF diet. When you decide that you are going to take your life back, that you are going to prioritize YOUR well being over all other things…When you decide you are ready to let GO of old limiting beliefs, rewire doubts, take the charge away from your fears…Your NEW beliefs are vulnerable. They need constant protection. So you've GOT to be mindful and discerning about what you are taking IN and what you are putting out.

The Science of Why You Procrastinate (And How To Stop) Sep 20, 2023

Show notes

If you've ever thought:

"I know exactly what I need to do… so why am I not doing it?"

This episode is for you.

Because procrastination isn't about willpower.

You procrastinate because your brain is trying to avoid emotional pain, not because you're lazy.

In this episode, I break down the neuroscience of procrastination so you can finally understand what's actually happening when you avoid the things you care about.

We talk about:

Why procrastination is driven by fear, not laziness
How dopamine and instant gratification keep you stuck
The role of your nervous system in avoidance and overthinking
Why your brain treats goals like a threat
How to stop procrastinating by working with your brain

Procrastination is your brain trying to avoid pain and seek pleasure.

Once you understand that, everything changes.

How to Make Calm AF Your Default Setting Sep 13, 2023

Show notes

We forget sometimes that we aren't anxious by default, we LEARNED anxious. You aren't a people pleaser, you LEARNED people pleasing. You weren't born angry, you LEARNED anger. If being in a state of anxiety, shame, or resentment is a learned habit, that means being calm AF is also a learned habit.
