How are we at the Holiday Season again? Didn't we just celebrate Christmas like a few weeks ago and it's Christmas again?

If you've been following along on my Healing Journey, you know that I cut ties with my Toxic Family last November, right before the Holidays. If you are anything like me, I kept myself EXTREMELY BUSY to not let myself process or feel any of my feelings. This year though, everything is biting me in the butt and everything is very triggering.

Take a listen as I talk about my specific Holiday triggers, from missing my old Family Traditions, Christmas shopping for certain people, and how I am trying my best to make sure my Daughter never feels as if she is missing out on anything.

Cutting ties with Family is tough and going through the Holiday season can be extremely triggering but letting ourselves process through whatever it is we need to feel is a huge step to making us heal.

How are we at the Holiday Season again? Didn't we just celebrate Christmas like a few weeks ago and it's Christmas again?

Episode 64: Random Things That Give Me Anxiety Pt. 3

I said I would continue to make these and well, here it goes. Part 3 of Random Things that give me Anxiety. In this episode I expose myself over the most random things that give me Anxiety like driving on the far left lane of the freeway, car washes, and going to the restroom with my Toddler because let's face it, Toddlers have no filter. . . Am I right?

My previous episodes have been a tad bit heavy, so I wanted to throw in a funny one in the mix because I have a few more heavy ones before the end of the year comes through.

Do you have any random things that give you Anxiety?

Any that we have in common?

Episode 66: Breath Work with Ryanna

In this Episode, I have the honor of interviewing Breath Work Facilitator Ryanna Battitse. We discuss the many benefits of including Breath Work to your every day to help manage your Anxiety. She explains how it helps, how it works, and even leads a 7 minute Breath Work session at the very end of the interview. Prior to our interview, I had a Breath Work session with her to be able to give my honest input on how Breath Work helped me with my Anxiety and all I can say was that I was in true and complete AWE of our session together. I had always been skeptical of "yoga," "meditation," "breathing exercises," because I felt that trying to control my breathing and trying to quiet my mind on gave me more Anxiety because I couldn't. Ryanna did an INCREDIBLE job coaching me through my session and it is something that I am implementing in my almost day to day life whenever I feel that I need to take a step back and breathe for a bit. Such an incredible interview. Even if this maybe isn't for you, skip to the very end for the Breath Work portion and I promise you that it will change your life!
