The Pitfalls of Being Judgmental Nov 01, 2018

Show notes

Most of us would accept the idea that being judgmental and self-righteous is damaging. No one really likes to be around a person who is constantly critical. And, yet, we all seem to struggle with doing it on some level. We form judgements all the time. Need convinced? Perhaps you’ve given an internal eyeroll to any of these situations: the mom with the out-of-control toddler in Target, the teen who just got expelled from school, the co-worker who is chronically late coming back from lunch, the friend who let you down by not being there, etc. We know this kind of self-righteous thinking is unfair to others. But, what if we told that it’s also dangerous for YOU! Listen in as Georgia and Sandra talk about how being judgmental is destroying you from the inside out. But, don't despair - we have ideas for overcoming this tendency!

When Being 'In Control' Actually Isn't Oct 25, 2018

Show notes

Do you have a hard time delegating? Do you live by a “failure is not an option” ethic? Are you constantly trying to convince people to do things another way? Are you angry a lot? It’s possible that you’re struggling with the illusion of control. In short: you’re a “control freak”. You’re frustrated and irritable because you’re trying to control things you can’t! In addition to wreaking havoc on your mental health, being a control freak also wastes time and energy, both of which are finite resources. Join Sandra and Melissa as they talk about how to tell if you’re investing too much time, mental energy, and physical effort into things you have no control over. And, if you are, what you can do about it.

When Resentment Becomes an Unwanted Guest Oct 18, 2018

Show notes

Resentment is a powerful force! Like its close cousin, bitterness, it usually comes into our lives in response to a legitimate injustice or hurt that has been done to us… so it’s hard to let it go. The problem is that resentment seldom contributes to serenity and fulfillment. It’s a bit like a cancer that eats away at time—time which could have been filled with love and joy. Join us as Sandra and Melissa get real about the damage resentment can cause while giving us hope for healing those wounds, forgiving the wrong done, and moving on in freedom!

Encore: Looking for love in all the wrong places- how we unconsciously can sabotage our quest for romantic love Oct 11, 2018

We say we want love... We say we want to be treated well... We say we want to be desired... But does your behavior really invite that or are you sending mixed messages? This fascinating hour will look at how our unconscious mind sometimes tricks us into sabotaging our love lives by not commanding the respect and love we deserve. If looking for love is your middle name- this is the episode for you!

Conflict: Enemy or Ally? Oct 04, 2018

Show notes

Conflict. What kinds of emotion surface when you think of it? Is it a good thing or a bad thing? It’s not necessarily a bad thing – it’s just the result of two people with different goals coming together. It becomes a damaging force if it’s handled poorly. Conflict triggers strong emotions and can lead to hurt feelings, disappointment, and discomfort. When handled in an unhealthy manner, it can cause irreparable rifts, resentments, and break-ups. Join us for this episode where Sandra and Georgia discuss how to resolve conflict in a healthy way so that it increases your understanding of the other person, builds trust, and actually strengthens your relationships!

A Multi-Dimensional Approach to A Healthy You! Sep 27, 2018

Show notes

Do you deal with health problems? Have you ever considered that your body responds to the way you think, feel, and act? We often call this the mind-body connection”. We often see it when we talk about stress. When you are stressed, anxious, or upset, your body reacts in a way that might tell you that something isn’t right. The reverse is also true. The latest research confirms that what we do with our physical bodies can affect our mental state. The truth is our overall health and wellbeing is ALL connected from what we eat to what we do with negative energy. Join us for this episode where Maite Gomez and Sandra talk about the importance of having a healthy mind inside a healthy body! You can improve your overall health when you see the connections between physically, nutritionally, spiritually, and psychologically. We’ll talk about many different components of overall wellness including nutritional science, energy work, meditation, exercise, and (of course!) psychology.
