764 || a bridal bootcamp bust Mar 28, 2023

Show notes

Not to harsh any vibes but the "bridal bootcamp" industry can be.. a lil predatory if we're not careful with figuring out our "why".

762 || existentially dreading it Mar 26, 2023

Show notes

Existential dread is honestly, kinda to be expected?! But there are ways to get out of it. 1. Limit the causations - social media, news, etc. 2. stay in the present by honoring your fight, flight, or freeze response. 3, zoom in so you can eventually zoom out.

759 || deconstruct + rewrite Mar 23, 2023

Show notes

According to https://positivepsychology.com/narrative-therapy/

We can map our stories through asking:

Characteristics and naming or labeling of the problem
Mapping the effects of the problem throughout each domain of life it touches (home, work, school, relationships, etc.)
Evaluation of the effects of the problem in these domains
Values that come up when thinking about why these effects are undesirable

Thus allowing us to deconstruct + rewrite them to better serve our desired futures.

758 || narrative therapy Mar 22, 2023

Show notes

According to https://positivepsychology.com/narrative-therapy/ Narrative therapy is a form of therapy that aims to separate the individual from the problem, allowing the individual to externalize their issues rather than internalize them.

Reality is socially constructed, which means that our interactions and dialogue with others impacts the way we experience reality.
Reality is influenced by and communicated through language, which suggests that people who speak different languages may have radically different interpretations of the same experiences.
Having a narrative that can be understood helps us organize and maintain our reality. In other words, stories and narratives help us to make sense of our experiences.
There is no “objective reality” or absolute truth; what is true for us may not be the same for another person, or even for ourselves at another point in time (Standish, 2013).

757 || narrative transportation theory Mar 21, 2023

Show notes

The reasons for not choosing a library card over a Netflix membership are endless, but there are countless ways to make cracking a book more attractive in general. I personally used audiobooks to figure out what I actually liked + used the Narrative Transportation Theory to get me there.

756 || photography lessons for everyone Mar 20, 2023

Show notes

People inherently WANT to love photos of themselves but go in with a very critical filter that makes them expect NOT to like it - which adds a whole nother level of discomfort that can have a tangible effect on the result. To me, the overthinking that happens is very much a metaphor for overthinking any of our insecurities in relationships. We end up nurturing the problem by honoring the insecurity instead of the reality.
