Do you often say "I avoid confrontation!" as a personality trait? If so, you're in luck! This episode aims to change the perspective of confrontation, the difference between confrontation and conflict, and navigating how to communicate gently but firmly.

Today's episode is a pep-talk style episode where we keep it short, sweet, and to the point. We're talking all things big confidence and how to switch the perspective from feeling confident to being confident in your actions.

Today's episode is a very narrative explanation on how I avoid taking things personally, how to communicate about it when people do take a swing at you, and how boundaries is the root of all the things we do here.

I'd love to hear your takeaways over on Instagram here! 

Today's episode is all about my lessons learned from taking a break from the podcast last week, the reminder we all need about rest, and how to change your perspective about how your actions impact those around you.

as always, the discussion continues over on instagram!

Lastly, today's episode is a realistic look at how your long-term dreams and goals can actually take shape, change over time, and require so much diligence in believing in yourself. 

Today's episode is a shift from our previous few weeks that were capitalizing on all the energy and buzzwords that surround the holiday and new year season. This week, I wanted to get intentional about creating space for the bad stuff - aka negative thoughts, feelings, and memories, and how to acknowledge them without personifying them always!

I mention a good friend of the podcast, Dr. Meghan Powell, and her amazing work on journaling in today's episode. Click here for her journaling mojo!

As always, therapy is a vital and necessary resource to tap into, especially when you notice you're "getting stuck" around certain things that can be hard to deal with.

Use a resource like Psychology Today to match with a therapist in your area and use a filter to get a match who takes your insurance!
