Finding Middle Ground Podcast

Change is definitely at the forefront of my mind right now as my due date approaches and all the other things happening in life right now plus this seemed to be a theme that kept coming up with clients so I figured I would record an episode about it! I chat all things change and I share how I am trying to approach and navigate this time for myself and of course leave you with some really tangible things to try for yourself! Oh and I might go on a few tangents, oopsies!
RAIN technique:
R: recognize what is coming up for you
A: allow yourself to fully experience and feel the emotions coming up without trying to fix, avoid or push away
I: investigate with curiosity, not judgment (where do I feel this in my body? what stories am I telling myself right now? what do I need in this moment?)
N: nurture with compassion; essentially treat yourself like you would treat a dear friend or loved one going through this experience
Book mentioned (& one I 1000% recommend): Radical Acceptance by Tara Brach

I posted something on Instagram a little bit ago and there was just so much more I wanted to say so I had to record an episode on all my thoughts. I share my own personal experiences as well as my opinions and thoughts on this topic given my background as a therapist specializing in eating disorders. This is a topic that needs to be talked about more so I'm hoping to help start the conversation!

It's important to note that I am not a medical doctor so this not medical advice but rather me sharing my own experiences and why I believe things need to change.

In this episode, I chat all about emotions (surprise surprise 🙃) but specifically the emotions that have been coming up for me as I get further along in my pregnancy! The ones that most people don't really talk about, always in the hope that I can help put words to someone's experience or help someone feel less alone if they are going through something similar🫶🏼 And of course, I also share how I've been navigating these emotions and THE tool that has been a game changer for me!

I did a post about this a bit ago .. sharing how this label we've been placing on toddlers is actually a reflection of parents not knowing how to deal with BIG emotions (their own and their littles) rather than the behavior of the toddlers ... OOF 😮‍💨 If you're ready and open to hearing some hard truths, let's dive even deeper with this!
ps. this isn't about blame, it's about awareness and acknowledgment AND said with so much love and understanding♡

In this episode I chat all about how the driving force behind our decisions can be truly impactful on the outcome. Plus I dive into how our language and how we say things matter not only when speaking to ourselves and but also others. And finally, I chat all about intention versus impact .. what this means, how this can show up in relationships including parenting, and why I am so incredibly passionate about my own healing journey. Oh and I touch a little on external and internal motivation and why you need both! This is a juicy one and I'm so excited for you to listen 🫶🏼
