How To Find Love That Feels Safe, Build Confidence, Manage Mental Health And Discover Who You Really Are, with Hannah Brown Apr 17, 2024

Show notes

For all the Bachelorette fans tuning in, today is a must-listen, as I got to dive deep on allllll of the things with Bachelorette alum Hannah Brown.

We talk relationships, therapy, cheating, mental health, insecurities, success, and how to really define ourselves when the world tries to put us in boxes... because whether you’re a TV star or an everyday muggle, we’re all trying to figure how who we are outside of the expectations and conditioning that have been placed on us.

Hannah has been through some insane life experiences… it’s clear that she’s really doing the work to overcome it all and to show up as her best self, and I’m grateful she could share some of that work with us today.

Hannah is a Television Personality, Podcast Host, and NYT Bestselling Author of her memoir, God Bless This Mess. After winning Miss Alabama USA 2018, she was a fan favourite on The Bachelor and then The Bachelorette, she won Dancing With The Stars, and she crushed it on the FOX show Special Forces. She hosts a self-improvement podcast called Better Tomorrow, and she shares her authenticity and vulnerability with her millions of followers on social media. And now, she’s releasing her debut romance novel “Mistakes We Never Made” this May.

Hannah's engagement and what makes her feel safe in relationships
The case for couples therapy before there’s issues
Navigating cheating and betrayal
Rewiring our tendencies and changing our patterns
Building confidence and self-esteem
Dealing with depression and anxiety while in the public eye and on The Bachelorette

Forgiving Ourselves For The Past And Compassionately Accepting All The Versions We've Been | I’m The Problem It’s Me Apr 10, 2024

Show notes

Welcome back to my new series “I’m the problem, it’s me,” where I call bullshit on myself for the self-sabotage and mistakes I keep on making, because that’s the stuff that teaches us the most.

Today is a vulnerable one. Remember that recent “show me you at 21” trend that circulated on social media? Well that deep-dive through old photo albums and Facebook timelines sent me into a certifiable spiral. Reflecting on who I was in my teens and early 20s, I was confronted with a tidal wave of self hate over how I looked and dressed, how much I drank, how obnoxiously and overly-sexualized I present myself, and how disconnected I seemed to be from who I really am.

The judgment and shame towards my past self was overwhelming, until I realized that my current self is in fact the problem. It’s easy to be critical in hindsight, but when we were young, we were almost always doing the best we could with what we knew.

I’ve spent a good chunk of adulthood resenting the versions of myself that came before this one. So it’s me, Gill, I’m the problem, it's me. And in today’s episode I’m rewriting my relationship with my past, and choosing compassion.

Join me as I dive into:

Why looking into my past brought up so much shame
How accepting our past selves can lead to more confidence and compassion
Aiming for neutrality and acceptance VS unconditional self-love
The power of inner child work
The tools I’m using to build self-compassion and change my self-talk
Why you should write letters to your past self
Learning from the versions of ourselves that we’ve outgrown
Why growth and change can go hand-in-hand with grief

I hope we can all learn to love the past eras that brought us to this one, and in the meantime, know that I love you.

How To Live Sustainably And Make Eco-Friendly Changes That Actually Make A Difference, with Julia Grieve | Earth Month Throwback Apr 03, 2024

Show notes

It’s earth month, and every April we find ourselves reevaluating our consumption habits and examining how we can lower our carbon footprint. But TBH, it feels hella stressful.

It's overwhelming trying to track alllll the things we're “supposed” to be doing. Between buying sustainable food, conserving water, shopping secondhand, swapping to eco-friendly appliances and tech, composting, and reducing waste, the list feels never-ending, and it feels like we're just not doing enough.

So we're throwing it back to an honest and tactical episode that changed our perspective on sustainable living, with the accidental environmentalist herself, Jules Grieve. Because it's easy to let perfect become the enemy of good, and being environmentally conscious is about finding realistic swaps that actually work with your lifestyle. Going green is a game of progress over perfection.

Julia is a TV personality, entrepreneur, fashion designer, former international model, and founder of the incredible Preloved, North America’s leading sustainable fashion brand that has diverted over a million sweaters from landfills.

She’s CityLine’s eco expert and regularly appears on Global News and in Canada’s biggest media outlets. Her mission is to show people how simple changes, over time, can have a huge impact, and she’s showing the world how we can take an eco-friendly approach to home design, health, food, fashion and lifestyle.

Tune in as we chat about:

How Julia became the “accidental environmentalist” and started her brand, Preloved
Julia’s top sustainable swaps that anyone can make
Tips for cutting out plastic and reducing your waste
Working towards a circular economy
Ways to repair, upcycle, and thrift to extend the lifecycle of our things
Hacks for cutting down on food waste, and the truth about recycling
Why we should be mindful of our water consumption

Show notes

If an endless supply of “what ifs” are keeping you stuck in fear and inaction every time you need to make a decision or move forward, this tool could be a game-changer for you.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into the valuable advice my career coach shared last year to help stop catastrophic thinking and get to the root of what’s actually causing you worry or paralysis. Because the answer to “what’s the worst that could happen?” usually isn’t as bad as we make it out to be, and even the worst case scenarios are almost always figureoutable.

Whether you’re stuck in business decisions, dating, networking, trip-planning or big life changes, keep digging one layer deeper until you find out what’s at the core of your worries, and if that’s something you could handle.

Tune in to hear more about:

How catastrophic thinking can hold us back
What was keeping me stuck in inaction
The simple tool my career coach used to change my mindset
Examining the root of your discomfort
Weighing out the worst-case scenarios
How this way of thinking helped me invest in real estate
