Why is it so hard to accept ourselves? Why do we struggle so hard to treat ourselves with the love and compassion that we would treat a dear friend? Finding out the challenges and figuring out how to change that is important for our wellbeing in so many ways. That’s why episode 13 of The Positively Living Podcast with Jane Tornatore is about relieving stress through self-acceptance!
In this episode of The Positively Living Podcast, Jane Tornatore and I are sharing the importance of addressing the strange tendencies that keep us stuck and stressed and actionable steps you can take right now to start practicing gratitude and experiencing self- acceptance today. We cover the following topics:
- There is power in choosing...choosing how we perceive our feelings
- How we embrace habits like gratitude to create new neural pathways in our brain
- The way we speak to ourselves has more impact than we realize...words truly matter
- Jane’s dedicated list of words she wants to ban from our language
I think we can all agree that kindness matters. And I firmly believe we need to start with being kind to ourselves first. The benefits are far-reaching, and with the right initial effort, self-acceptance can become an automatic part of your life that not only serves you but others too.

Busting Menopause Myths with Jacqueline Rose
Text your thoughts and questions!
Menopause is a topic that needs clarifying and support. That’s why episode 12 of The Positively Living Podcast is about menopause and the changes that women experience throughout their lives!
In this episode of The Positively Living Podcast, Jacqueline Rose shares the myths surrounding menopause. She and I cover:
- How important self-awareness is (which has been a repeat concept from other podcast episodes)
- The three myths surrounding menopause and why they aren’t true
- How the menopause journey includes much more than we realize and can impact women physically, emotionally, and cognitively.
- That it’s possible to navigate this menopause time with ease and confidence.
It is so important that we come to understand and accept what hormone fluctuation can do to our bodies and I hope you are both educated and encouraged by Jacqueline’s take on it.

How We Grow through Grief with Katie Rössler
Text your thoughts and questions!
Grief has no timeline. It has no end date. It isn’t linear. It lives within us, sometimes quietly and sometimes manifesting itself at unexpected times and with unexpected intensity. Learning to live with it and embrace it is critical to our well-being. That’s why episode 14 of The Positively Living Podcast is about grief.
In this episode of The Positively Living Podcast, Katie Rössler is sharing the importance of focusing as a way to grow and offers actionable steps you can take right now to deal with grief. Katie Rössler and I cover the following topics:
- Waves of grief come from many life experiences, not only death.
- We are taught to run from grief and to cope in ways that don’t serve us.
- Katie’s specific, actionable advice for when you are dealing with grief.
- Society's desire to “move past” grief instead of sitting in the feelings and learning from them.
I am overwhelmed with gratitude for all she shared about this subject near and dear to my heart. I know you’ll love hearing Katie’s stories and words of encouragement and I’m looking forward to your feedback.
