So often we find ourselvees skyrocketing in the ‘good’ times then plummenting in the ‘not-so-good’. It’s emotionally and mentally taxing to feel this constant shift from happy, excited, and abundant to sad, frustrated, and stagnant. So how can we balance it out? In this episode I discuss my idea for finding the gentler ebb and flow for change versus the chaos of the rollercoaster. At the end of the day change is inevitable but how can we make it more manageable?

The fleeting comfort or external validation is what keeps us constantly seeking outside of ourselves for more. In this solo episode I break down what it means to build self worth through internal validation versus external. This creates a lasting sense of 'worth' form within rather than the constant seeking of it from others or society. I share how external validation played a negative role in my experiences with disordered eating, people pleasing, and work/life balance.

How often are we self sabotaging? Today’s guest, Georgia Morely, shares her journey to discover all the ways she was subconsciously limiting her growth through self sabotage and past beliefs. This journey took years as Georgie began to slowly weed out what no longer served her and then plant the seeds for what did. This meant leaving behind old careers, hobbies, and interests to find what serves her in the here and now. Through her online platforms and co-hosted podcast, Georgie shares about the life lessons she’s learned as well as what’s currently supporting her. Whether that be beautiful photography, captivating words, or affirmations, her work is meant to spread happiness, awareness, and overall, joy.

Commenting on another's body is always a risky move. Whether they struggle with the average body image issues, full blown body dysmorphia, have poor health, or are in recovery from an eating disorder, those words have impact. We live in a society that is constantly critiquing and commenting on the bodies of those in the spotlight. Because of that, it's become common place to comment on standardized facets of 'beauty'. These comments can then impact the way we view ourselves, others, and the world around us. Whether the comment is on body shape/structure, body size, weight loss/gain, or our general appearance, these words hold power and can create a lasting impact.

If you're feeling a little lost or uncertain right now know that you're not alone. It's easy to get wrapped up in the "should" of life and feeling pressure to follow the path of society. It takes awareness and curiosity to explore other paths and find the one best suited for you. That's why I share my firsthand experience with taking the road less traveled and explain how to explore this in your own life.
