EP#136: Meet Yourself Where You Are May 18, 2023

Show notes

Sometimes when we are learning mindfulness and coaching work, we try to swap out thoughts so we don't feel negatively anymore. Or we may judge ourselves for feeling negatively in the first place and try to skip to a new thought.

The problem with this is, it invalidates our true feelings and leads to more shame and self-judgement. And it is in-authentic.

Today, I am going to walk you through an exercise that teaches you how to meet yourself where you are, no matter what you are feeling.

Your feelings are real and you deserve to feel the way that you feel!

EP#135: Uncertainty May 11, 2023

Show notes

When things aren't predictable, how does your brain respond? Do you prefer to be in control? How do you feel when things are out of control?

As OB/GYN's we can face a lot of uncertainty:

What will come in when I am on call?
What if I don't know how to handle it?
What if this patient has a postop complication?

The problem is, our brains can start to interpret the uncertainty of life as BAD. Then, when we are faced with that uncertainty, we feel anxious or fearful or stressed. I see this play out all the time in my own brain and for my Group Member's.

Today I am walking you through how to handle uncertainty, especially when it leads to anxiety for you.
