You Versus You: If We Don’t Prioritize Ourselves, Who Will?
Really Personal Podcast
01/03/23 • 22 min
We're squashing the "New Year, New You" trend by starting with a Healthy Mindset. Your number one competition is always yourself- you versus you. No coach, no trainer, or no mentor can do it, only you versus you. It’s on you- only you are in charge of your happiness.
Creating new healthy goals for 2023 needs to begin with the way you speak to yourself. If you notice yourself sharing limiting statements, add the YET to the end to remind yourself that you are capable of learning and improving (“I can’t manage all of my affairs this week... YET!")
Self-Talk Matters, which starts with reframing your inner monologue:
- Avoid using absolutes like “never” or “always”
- Change language intensity
- Change from “why” to “what”
- Refrain from “what if’s”
These techniques can have a powerful impact on your ability to self-regulate.
Get more tips on prioritizing yourself in healthy and successful ways!

The Ick Factor: Is the Ick the “trait” or the “person”? (ft. Gabrielle Bergeron)
Really Personal Podcast
09/10/22 • 56 min
Picture this: you've connected with a good-looking person, and during your first few encounters, you begin experiencing rumbles of disgust and confusion. The exit door is near eyesight, and you just can't wait to break free and away from the date. What the heck just happened?
This, my friend, is no other than the rumbles of the ick! We hear about the ick on social media and TV shows, and it's not just millennial jargon. Man, woman, or child, we all experience the ick in various forms. Whether it's an interior signal that triggers alarms of warning or perpetual occurrence in your relationships, we have all experienced feeling "icky" about situations and people.
When it comes to dating and relationships, the ick is a huge indicator to step away and move on. But how do we decipher whether the icks are valid reasons to end a date or even a relationship? And is the ick the person or the trait?
When we get stuck in analyzing the ick, that’s when we know we are up in the mind and in anxiety. It’s not fun to get the ick, especially if you experience relationship anxiety.
Does our love language inform us why we get the ick? Love Languages show us how we receive love, but they also tell us about how we react to unwanted love. For example, if your love language is Words of Affirmation, and someone you’re not super into starts showering you with compliments, you’re more likely to get the ick than someone who doesn’t value Words of Affirmation as highly as you do.
If someone is giving us this love prematurely, it feels as though they are overstepping a boundary, or worse, manipulating their way into our hearts, hence THE ICK!
Explore How to reduce “the ick” in your loving, healthy relationships!

Take the Path of More Resistance
Really Personal Podcast
02/07/24 • 36 min
In a world where fast and easy is king, we gotta remember to put in the elbow grease before pulling the trigger on big decisions. By taking the tougher path, we can make choices that give us lasting feelings of joy and satisfaction. It's like baking a cake from scratch instead of microwaving a muffin!
By choosing to take the path of more resistance, we empower ourselves to make informed decisions that align with our values and goals. Whether it's in online dating or any other aspect of life, investing time and energy into research can save us from disappointment and ensure that we forge meaningful connections.
- The Importance of Research in Decision-Making
- Investing Time and Energy in Online Dating
- Vetting Potential Matches for a Successful Experience
- The Benefits of Thorough Research
Let's embrace the mindset that just because others take the path of least resistance doesn't mean we need to do the same. Start putting in the necessary work and effort today to create a future of conscious choices and long-term satisfaction. Get detail show notes HERE!

Phrase Replacements in Relationships: What Works, And What Works Better
Really Personal Podcast
10/11/22 • 60 min
All of us want to be loved and understood. When someone isn’t understanding our viewpoints, ideologies, feelings, and emotions, we become frustrated with the process and resentful of that individual. It's definitely a hard pill to swallow to accept that not every single conversation is going to go your way, you’re not always going to be right, and not every single argument is an argument you need to win.
Have you adopted poor habits from previous relationships regarding arguing and communication? In this episode of the Really Personal Podcast, we dive into the nitty-gritty of effective communication with loved ones, friends, and co-workers. Approaching 10 years of marriage, Carrie Taylor not only bestows some valuable wisdom but challenges us to look within, squash the ego, and focus on the achievements of peace and love.
Phrases, Attitude, and Action Replacements That Work Better
- The snooze button works wonders
- Words can be powerful
- Be at peace with letting things go

Under Pressure: Societal Pressures Women Face & Who’s Holding Them Accountable
Really Personal Podcast
09/24/22 • 56 min
From a young age, women are placed in a specific timeframe: focus heavily on school, meet someone immediately, get married, have kids, and be good wives and mothers. Any divergence from this timeframe is considered detestable. While reaching academic heights is crucial to the elevation of the mind and soul, the other aspects of urgently meeting someone and getting married do in fact make us women feel miserable.
Christine Emba wrote a phenomenal and eye-opening book called Rethinking Sex: A Provation. Although this particular podcast doesn't dive into the much-needed conversation around feminine sexual awakenings, there's a beloved phrase that rings true in this podcast: "We're liberated, but we're miserable."
Societal pressures placed on women to fit specific, yet unwarranted roles have lasting effects. I was beyond intrigued to enter the recording studio with Mansi Baxi to discuss the pressures women are facing, how they started, where it has led us, and its lasting influences on our singlehood and dating relationships.
Getting rid of these primitive pressures by replacing them with liberating ideals with its primary focus to live fully and freely without the constraints of societal pressures often leaves us lost and unbounded. This is where boundaries play an enormous role.
It is a safe bet that every human being has been frustrated and heartbroken in their search for love, and a time comes when we reach a breaking point when we suddenly demand answers to our ill-fated quest for love. I highly recommend grabbing a journal, opening a Google Doc, or even a notepad on your phone, and writing down 100 traits that you would like to see in your next partner.
If we are to create positive social norms, especially for each other, then we can begin defining healthy motivations (not pressures) that not only make us feel safe and secure but also free to continue to thrive uninhibitedly in this world.

What You’re Looking For Is Not Out There. It’s In You.
Really Personal Podcast
05/23/23 • 30 min
I'm here to remind you that suffering is not bad. Suffering is good because when we suffer it is also the death of our ego. Pain, difficult times, failure, and loss is purification and preparation for personal heroism. Trauma is not just what happens to you. It’s what happens inside of you as a result of what happens to you.
Healing is not about getting rid of the bad in your life. It’s about getting to a point where even if it is bad, you know that you’ll be OK. It’s learning to trust yourself where you lost hope. It’s learning to show yourself compassion in places where you fail.
Don't let life's traumas hold you back! It's time to heal, grow, let go and discover the power within YOU!
