S8 Ep120: Steps for Getting Out of Survival Mode Feb 23, 2023

Show notes

SHOW NOTES

In this episode MacKenzie walks through some helpful steps to start making your way out of survival mode when you are ready.
-How do you know when it’s time to come out of survival mode? Well, it’s a personal decision and you are really the only one who knows when you are ready and capable. It’s also a process that involves some stops and starts- and that’s ok!
Step 1- Clean your house (Right the ship)

This can be done in stages. Pick a place to start that will make the biggest difference to your mental and emotional well-being. Then set a short amount of time to try to make a lot of progress.

Step 2- Plan your meals & get your groceries

Being more intentional about your meals will make you feel more on top of things and create momentum for you moving forward, along with removing stress.

Step 3- Plan your time

start with 3 things a day
next, brain dump all the things
create a more structured time-flow
reassess your routines
remind yourself of your goals, word for the year, intentions

Step 4- Find enjoyment- take up a hobby, especially something artistic

Something creative can be therapeutic and such a beneficial outlet, especially to use as a catalyst to help you achieve momentum.

Step 5- Be intentional about your health

move, drink water, take your supplements, get enough sleep, detox

S8 Ep118: Surviving "Survival Mode" Feb 09, 2023

Show notes

SHOWNOTES

In this episode Katie and MacKenzie discuss some of the hard things they have been facing lately and the strategies they have developed over the years to come through these times a little bit more easily. Whether the rug has been ripped out from under you or you just have been dealt a hard blow, these ideas will help make the hard just a little bit more manageable.
Practically:

Simplify, Simplify, Simplify

Meal Planning (meals you know & everyone loves, leftovers, easy)
Schedules
Planning in General (long-range vision can be difficult in survival mode- you might need to take it more one day at a time. MacKenzie is using Passion Planner Digital.)
“What can I do right now that will make a difference?” Sometimes that is doing the dishes, or paying bills, or putting out a load of laundry. Sometimes that is taking a nap, or calling a friend.

Solidarity & Support

Surround yourself with people who can be there for you emotionally and physically- all the people don’t need to do all the things, you just need to make sure that all the things are covered.

Self-care:

Sleep- my sleep is so bougie but it works! Here is what I do:

Bath with epsom salts and magnesium flakes (with some good lighthearted reality TV)
Magnesium Lotion
Alka Calm Drink
Satin Pillowcase
Eye Mask
Weighted Blanket (I love mine by Gravity Blanket)
Weighted Rice Heater
Castor Oil Pack
Color-Changing Smart Bulb controlled by my Echo Dot to “Pink 25%”
Read fiction on my Kindle Paperwhite
Sleep Meditations from Asana Rebel

Supplements- take things to boost your immune system & help with stress (Vit C & D are key!)
Stretch- move your body even if it is in simple ways
In Your Head:

Self-talk- reign in any times you are talking yourself down.
Switching focus- compartmentalize thinking about the hard things and provide yourself distractions.
Selectivity- only allow in content that you can fully handle in this season.
Swearing 😬- sometimes it just helps.

S8 Ep114: How to Incorporate Simple & Affordable Daily Detox Methods Jan 12, 2023

Show notes

Show Notes

In this episode, MacKenzie walks through the simple and affordable detox methods she has been using on a daily basis to help combat the toxins that we’re all regularly exposed to.
Step 1: Eliminate as many toxins as possible! Especially anything that contains fragrance! Read those labels!
The Methods MacKenzie is using:

More Water (she starts her day with a glass of water with 1 Tbsp Chia seeds, two slices of lemon, and a pinch of salt)
Fiber
A good greens drink (MacKenzie’s favorite is AG1)
Taking NAC for Liver Support
Pure Body Extra Zeolite Spray (for daily detox)
Oil Pulling (this is a great solution from Pur03)
Tongue scraping
Castor Oil Packs
Rebounding of Vibe Plate
Dry Brushing (This is a good one. This one is even better because it contains copper. This is my favorite facial dry brush.)
Gua Sha (This is my favorite stone. I also like this roller)
Hot Baths (I like Flewd Bath Soaks- use this code for 20% off: MACKENZIE91970, or a combination of 2 cups magnesium flakes, 1 cup aluminum-free baking soda, and 1/4 cup Enviromedica Clay Bath)
