244 | Are You Good, Sis? (Part Four): Conducting a Life Audit May 24, 2022

Show notes

When was the last time you stopped to ask yourself, "how am I doing?" Not a superficial check-in, but a real detailed evaluation of your life? If you're anything like us it's likely been a while- if ever at all! Well, that stops today!

This week the girls are getting candid as we conduct a Life Audit. A Life Audit is a personal assessment of our lives in which we take inventory of anything that takes up our resources (time, money, physical/mental energy). Through this process we can determine how we're falling short in certain areas and how to move closer to reaching our goals in efforts of living our most fulfilled lives!

Last week we talked about the best practices to manage to stress. Listen Now!

Show notes

We're deep into Mental Health Awareness Month and there’s no way we can get through this series without talking about stress!

Stress is a natural part of our everyday lives. We have these bills, jobs, relationships, family…all the tings so a little stress is inevitable but we oftentimes overlook the ways stress can be beneficial. This week we're taking some time to shift our perspective on what it means to be stressed by learning the difference between good and bad stress.

Show notes

We're coming off the heels of celebrating the mommas and while some of us have amazing relationships with our mothers, we know that's not the case for everyone. The mother daughter dynamic can be explained in many ways. It can be interesting...special...complex...challenging...nonexistent and even hurtful. *Mother wounds enters the chat*

This week we've welcomed back one of absolute favorite homegirls, Shena Leshay of Black Girls Heal to dive deep into the mother wound concept. Shena explains the signs and effects of mother wounds, how to identify if you have a narcissistic mother and most importantly how to heal from a mother wound.

Show notes

Boundaries! Boundaries! Boundaries! They are important and teach people how to treat us.

We’re excited to kick off Mental Health Awareness Month with our new series, “Are You Good, Sis?” This week we’re joined by mental wellness advocate, self-healing educator and The Sugar Jar Podcast host, Yasmine Cheyenne to chat about all things boundaries.

For tons of us setting a boundary is easier said than done. We struggle with how and when to implement boundaries with our friends, family, coworkers and sometimes we just need a lil assistance. This is where Yasmine comes in! During our conversation Yasmine shared the seven pillars to set & enforce healthy boundaries and how this process can be as simple as enforcing house rules. Yasmine also dropped gems on ways to handle a relationship shift once boundaries are established and explained the importance of choosing yourself through calling your power back!

240 | Reclaim the Brain (Part Four) - Reframing Comparison Apr 26, 2022

Show notes

If we’re honest with ourselves we can admit that we’re always comparing ourselves to others….for some of us comparison started back as early as grade school.

Comparison usually has a negative connotation. When you hear the word comparison we automatically think of the way we’re measuring ourselves up to someone else in a bad way. But there are some benefits to comparing and we’ll get into it! In this week's episode, we're unpacking the Social Comparison Theory and how we can reframe a concept that has us in the strongest chokehold.

Last week, we gave y'all some tips and tricks to retrain our brains through mindfulness and healthy habits. If you missed it, catch up here: https://stream.redcircle.com/episodes/42c9b68a-58d7-4a6a-9b38-c210d46e94b6/stream.mp3

Show notes

We’re still talking about our brains, y’all! This week, we’re discussing both mindfulness and our desires to form new habits so we can physically retrain our brains. By being mindful, gauging our feelings and evaluating how effective our habits are, we can rewire the faulty parts of our brains. Join us on our journey of self discipline as we discuss ways to work out our brain muscles and strengthen our minds.

Last week, we explored dissociation's causes and what we can do to regain our focus and stay present. Interested? Listen here: https://stream.redcircle.com/episodes/ae71b80a-ad41-4d58-aa94-1298b451ab86/stream.mp3
