38: Smart Sobriety and Other Useful Tools with Rachel Bowling Dec 17, 2020

Show notes

Happy Holiday Season Fam!

With it being the season of celebration I really wanted to make sure that there was a conversation had around alcohol and substances. So today I am joined by Rachel Bowling who is SO educated on this topic, she is a substance use disorder counselor, a coach, a writer, and a military veteran.

Today we are talking about substance abuse, being sober, properly taking care of yourself through the holidays. As we all know the holidays stir up a lot of things within all of us and sometimes we fall into unhealthy coping mechanisms because they are what feels safe to us. When in reality those coping habits are pulling us away from being our best selves, and retracting any growth we may have accomplished recently.

If this hits home I hope that you know you are not alone and if you need to please reach out to a professional.

Time Stamps:

(3:40) Rachel’s story

(7:38) How and when did you know that your use or drinking became an issue?

(11:20) Do you think when people with addictions say that they are fine they truly mean that or are they lying to themselves when responding like that?

(13:10) Annies personal experience being sober

(15:30) Do you think there is a place and a time for sobriety and are there benefits of it? What are those benefits?

(17:19) Tips for people who are considering sobriety in their lives.

(20:48) Question about Rachel’s Instagram phrase: ‘I use to binge drink every weekend and thought it couldn’t be an issue because I was doing it with friends.’

What Rachel has to say about this mindset.

(27:25) Have you experienced negative feelings when you’ve failed at keeping an intention or goal, and if so how did you work through that?

(34:09) Can you dive into the basics of using psychedelics as a healing tool?

(45:41)Rachel’s hard no and hell yes.

37: Start Before You Are Ready Dec 14, 2020

Show notes

Today we’re going to talk about starting before you’re ready. Because oftentimes, if you're waiting until you’re ready, you're never actually going to start. So I'm here to tell you that so much of life is about starting before you're ready, and not waiting for the right time, not waiting until you know all the things, not waiting for the right feeling.

A lot has to do with the fear of not making the right decision. We put so much pressure on ourselves and we’re looking for approval from others, from family and friends, to assure us we’re making the right decision But you know what, it’s okay to not make the right decision.

It’s about figuring it out, and standing back up, and trying again, in pivoting and shifting and reworking and re deciding and leaving certain things behind and pursuing new things. That's the journey.

Time Stamps:

(2:00) The influence of our society and the way we’re raised on our ability to start before we’re ready

(4:30) My personal experience with starting before I am ready.

(10:45) How I leaned on other people to make decisions and what that means for our habits.

(11:50) How breaking free and making my own decisions was the start of my business and life as it is today

(13:29) The character traits I learned by starting before I’m ready and how I learned all the things I needed to know to be an entrepreneur

(14:30) Being scared to start before you’re ready is a habit

(20:40) It’s about the journey, not the arriving upon a decision

(24:00) How journaling and putting up an action plan will help you to start before you’re ready

Show notes

Welcome back, my friends!

I hope you are having a great week, and are ready for a deep episode.

Today I wanted to talk about transitions and the fear that comes with these seasons of transitions because I feel like that is what 2020 has been for most of us. It has been a whirlwind of a year with COVID, quarantine, job losses, our community outlets closing, all of these changes add up and ultimately affect our mood, our energy, our overall lives. But the important thing to remember in all of these transitions is that you are in control. YOU, my friend, have all the tools to make the rest of this year what you want it to be.

This episode is a little different, I share with you some of the revelations I have had come up for me when I lean into these seasons of transition. I also discuss the regrets that come with transitions, as well as the possibilities that come with taking the chance on that heart tug you have in your gut.

I hope you love this episode and if it hits home for you please share it with a friend, leave a review or share it on your social media and tag me! @itsanniegraft on Instagram.

Time Stamps:

(5:40) The fear that goes into changing something about your life.

(8:44) The regrets that come up with seasons of transition.

(11:09) Getting past the expectations that come with a transition.

(14:20) Playing with the possibilities of taking that chance on what you want to do.

(19:00) Allowing your inner knowing to surface and guide you.

30: Alone but ALIVE, 10 Reasons You Should Practice Being Alone Nov 16, 2020

Show notes

Happy MONDAY my uncomfy fam!

I am so excited to share this episode with you because this topic has been on my mind a lot the last week. As always please leave a review if you are inspired by this episode or even better share with a friend who would think would love some support in this area of their lives.

In this episode, I am sharing 10 reasons that I believe we should practice being alone. These 10 things are lessons or skills that I have learned when I make time to be alone in my life. If you are like "I am never alone Annie, that seems scary and weird", then this episode is for you my friend! Because being alone is one of the best gifts we can give to ourselves, it is how we heal and how we grow. Our society often conditions us to be with people to always be connected through social media, emails, texts, or calls, but if you do not make time to be by yourself you will never know where you begin and the people around you begin.

I hope you keep these 10 things in mind as we move into the holidays and the COVID version of the holidays. Make sure you are taking care of yourself, for yourself. You deserve to live an incredible life and practicing being alone is one of the ways you will get there!

Powerful moments to tune in for:

3:13 My season of transition into making time to be alone.

6:10 #1 - Everything I need is already within me.

10:35 #2 - The ability to listen to your heart tugs.

12:19 #3 - Development in problem-solving skills.

13:56 #4 - The ability to appreciate the beauty around you.

15:56 #5 - Learning to talk to yourself, hype yourself up, and work through things on your own.

16:53 - Gaining appreciation for others.

19:04 #7 - Helps me avoid mindless consumption.

20:48 #8- Having the space to create.

22:48 #9 - Building mental health & strength

24:32 #10 - Increased independence and trust in yourself.

29 - Leaning into the Fear, is it Worth the Risk? Nov 12, 2020

Show notes

Have you ever felt the tug to start a new project, launch a new business, or find yourself wishing there was something you could do to impact others? But you talk yourself out of it; you let fear overwhelm you and let it kill that creative flame? This episode is for you, my friend because today we are talking about leaning into fear. Understanding the risks that come with fearful moves in life but not letting them stop us from taking action.

This week I was DM’d by a new friend on Instagram, and she asked me for some advice on pursuing something that seemed so scary for her, something that she saw as risky. She inspired me to talk about this more in-depth because fear is a natural part of our lives; we have it to keep us safe and alive in situations that could kill us, like when we are in a forest or something, you know? However, I think it has gotten out of hand, and we are now at a point where fear stops us from taking risks when fear is really meant to push us into doing something about our situation.

I hate so much that there is this cultural thing that we allow to rule our lives, that if we feel fear, we need to stop. When, in fact, I think fear is a reason to go for it. So this is my call to action for you this week. It is time to look fear in the face and go for it, my friend, because you never know who you may impact by taking that risk.

28 - Are Your Habits Hurting or Helping You? Nov 09, 2020

Show notes

Happy Monday Ya’ll!

Welcome to the uncomfy fam! You are now officially part of the fam, I hope you are having a great day and ready to dive into another personal development tool that will empower you to live your best life.

Today we are digging into the importance of habits and understanding how our habits create the lives we live. This thought came to me during my morning walk, which is a habit that I have been building through all of 2020. In January I set myself a goal that I would set time and do an intentional walk for at least a mile. This weekend while on my walk I realized how much this habit has transformed the rest of my life and changed other bad habits in my life to good habits.

Time Stamps:

3:05 How my morning mile habit has changed my life.

5:20 Bringing awareness to your bad habits and changing the game for yourself, and getting out of your own way.

10:32 Changing habits and the mindset around your lifestyle.
