The Inner Edit

The Inner Edit

Christie Rocha

Join me, Christie Rocha, on my mission to debunk the misconceptions and stigmas around mental health and therapy. Let’s normalize working on our mental health and seeking help when needed. We’ve all heard of self-care, self-help, and self-love but do you often wonder how to actually make it all happen? I do! You’ll hear strategy-based conversations with professionals as well as inspiring and validating stories from women who are just like you and me. Think of this podcast as the weekly therapy sessions you didn’t know you needed...with a dash of sass, a lot of vulnerability, and me, relentlessly asking “but how?”

On this solo show I am sharing my experience with cultivating my inner knowing, creating what I need, navigating hard seasons, and the mindset shifts that have come since starting the productivity, ambition, and mental health series on the show. I am sharing how each of the expert interviews have personally overlapped for me and how my reflections help me connect the dots to the previous episodes. These reflections are based on my interview on the previous episode with Dani Kenney, International Life & Business Coach. It is also part of a month-long series focused on Productivity, Ambition, and Mental Health. Tune into the episode for more details!

“I see you in those times of waiting, I see how hard it is to be in the ‘un-knowing.’ And this is why it is so important to cultivate your knowing so that when it calls to you, you can hear it, and you have the trust and confidence to act on it.” - Christie Rocha

Dani Kenney is an International Life & Business Coach, Speaker and Certified Practitioner of NLP - Neuro Linguistic Programming, EFT - Emotional Freedom Technique, TIME Techniques and Clinical Hypnotherapy. With over 10 years of experience in high-level business management and leadership, Dani is dedicated to helping heart-centered, female entrepreneurs like YOU master their energy and their mindset so they can make more money, make a bigger impact and create a life they are obsessed with! We talk about the connection between growing a business, energy work, and spirituality, cultivating your inner knowing, healing our inner children, and how to create momentum when you’re feeling stuck.

“Energy work was a catapult for my business but I actually didn’t DO anything different in my business. There was very little doing and it was more about clearing out the inner gunk. It was identifying the beliefs I was holding that were actually not in alignment with where I was going.” - Dani Kenney

Amy Green Smith is a certified and credentialed life coach and hypnotherapist, masterful speaker, and courageous communication expert. With acute focus on helping people “find their voice”, Amy uses her popular weekly podcast, The Bold-Faced Truth, to address issues of worthiness, self-confidence, and letting go of people-pleasing. Today Amy shares the story of surviving an extremely religious childhood, how to set boundaries with family and friends, how to exist in relationships with people who have extremely different outlooks on life, and how to communicate what we want in relationships. Amy gives us specific language and examples on how to do all of this. We also talk about self-development and guilt.

“That’s the work - it’s not that you’re not going to experience emotional pain, it’s that you will navigate it from a place of power instead of victimhood.” - Amy Green Smith

Today I’m joined by Dr. Ilene Cohen, psychotherapist, author, and mother of two. She is one of the most respected voices in the psychology of people-pleasing and navigating the difficulty of living an intentional life while trying to maintain fulfilling relationships. We talk all about people-pleasing - what is it? Where does the behavior come from? What are the consequences of living this way? How do we heal and move on from people-pleasing? And more. We also talk about self-care, anxiety, burnout, and ambition in motherhood and family.

“People-pleasers always think, ‘I need to do everything by myself and then if I’m overwhelmed or tired there must be something wrong with me.’” - Dr. Ilene Cohen

Today With Jude Charles:

Today on Sass Says I am joined by Jude Charles, a storyteller, filmmaker, and brand strategist working with purpose-driven entrepreneurs. Jude is an expert in his field and works his magic by pulling back the curtain to tell the story for businesses and personal brands. But Jude is also a regular guy. Today he’s pulling back the curtain on himself and sharing his personal story about living with burnout. We discuss the importance of diagnosis, the ongoing stigma around mental health, creative entrepreneurship, vulnerability, and the importance of showing up as who you are—not just what you do.

Christie Rocha's and Jude Charles's Ah-Ha Moments

“[My first speech] wasn't easy at all. But I realized how much people were impacted by what I had to say.” – Jude Charles

“we were our biggest critics and we pay attention to the things that some other people don't even notice.” – Jude Charles

“You are so much more than your work.” – Jude Charles

“If you end up being burned out, it's not the end of the world if you need to take a break. It's necessary. We live in a society that has four seasons, but for some reason, we don't believe in taking time off the four seasons, meaning that a tree the leaves will die, but then it'll grow back the next season. That tree is taking a moment to rest and recuperate, to rejuvenate. And we should do that as well as human beings in order to be better to grow like a tree grows to be more stable.” – Jude Charles “There is strength in vulnerability.” – Jude Charles “There are moments where I find my own satisfaction in just sharing. I get something out of it. Whether it's like a healing or therapeutic to kind of just say something out loud. But it definitely helps to have someone go, ‘Oh, I see you in that. And I see myself in that’.” – Christie Rocha

More About Jude Charles

As a kid, I can remember my dad loved watching shows like NYPD Blue and Nash Bridges.

And because I wanted to spend time with my dad, I would stay up late watching TV with him.

Years later in life, I realized the lessons I learned by watching these shows. Lessons that taught me so much about the craft of storytelling.

It taught me how to search for clues that uncover the truth. How to be relentless in solving the puzzle. How to look beneath the surface of what people wanted you to see.

It taught me how powerful the right kind of evidence can be. I use these lessons to help you grow your personal brand.
