II can’t tell you the countless times I have heard someone say, “I can’t trust myself.” Whether it be trusting their ability to make decisions, attracting the right person into their love life, making sound judgements around money, or following through on a commitment, it has certainly been a common theme.
Maybe you can relate. Maybe you find yourself wanting to create change in your life, but you keep reminding yourself of the past, situations you fucked up, and landing you in the land of self-distrust. Maybe you made a bad financial decision a while back and now you don’t trust yourself to make another move because you’re sure you’ll mess it up. So, you remain stagnant and paralyzed by fear. Or maybe you found out a close friend or lover was not who they said they were. And, now you wonder if you can rely on your intuition or judgement of character. So, you guard yourself from others and isolate.
Please know that if you have learned to stop trusting yourself, you can certainly learn to start. In this week’s show, I break down seven easy steps you can take to start learning to trust yourself, acknowledging just how far you’ve come, and start taking action toward your dreams.
This pod explores:
The number one thing you must STOP saying if you want to start trusting yourself
My favorite exercise to tally all the ways you ARE super trustworthy
Why you tend to sabotage yourself and cement the notion that you can’t be trusted
The common language your Inner Critic will use to say you aren’t trustworthy

If you’re a living, breathing human, it’s likely that you’ve found yourself disgruntled over something your partner is/isn’t doing, something you wish your boss would STOP already, or something you wished your bestie would do/say/be for you. Most of the time, we register how frustrated we are with another party, but we forget to move past that irritation to look at what we can do to get our needs met. I mean… it’s so much easier to just blame, amiright!?
Maybe you need to ask your partner to step up financially. Maybe you need your boss to add another member to your team. Maybe you need some support from your sister. But, shit that seems hard. So you just complain and hold it in until it erupts like a god-damned volcano. And, then the relationship gets worse.
So… How exactly does one start in getting their needs met? I’m so glad you asked. In this week’s show, I’m listing out seven, super practical and easy-to-implement tips to help you identify the real issue you need to address, how to set yourself up for success, and how to express your request in a way that leaves you feeling like a mutha-fuckin’ Wonder Woman. Because, um… YOU. ARE.
This pod explores:
Why you need to stop discussing the surface issue and how to identify what you’re really needing to say
How to be incredibly specific so you can set others up to serve up aaaaall your needs on a platter
My favorite tactic to prepare yourself for a conversation about your needs so you stay fully on track and don’t get rattled

You’re too emotional. You take things too personally. You overthink things. You’re so dramatic. You’re too sensitive.
Ugh. Amiright!?
If you’re like many people in the JJ community, it’s likely someone has said these words to you in some iteration. And, it’s likely you got the notion that being a highly sensitive or emotional person was a horrible thing to be. Many people grow up in households where being an emotionally expressive person isn’t desirable or even accepted. Maybe even shamed.
So perhaps you learned to silently berate yourself for how deeply you felt when no one else seemed to be affected. You learned to make yourself wrong and hide your sensitivity as best you could. You learned to not “burden” others with how you feel.
If this sounds a bit familiar, please know that you are most certainly not alone. In this week’s show, I discuss what it means to be a sensitive person in a world that tells you to be otherwise, how to embrace this part of yourself, and what it looks like to guard and care for your emotional self.
This pod explores:
Understanding why you may be more sensitive than others (there are actual names for it!)
How a sensitive spirit is actually a super-power (Even if you’ve been shamed for it)
My favorite tools for guarding your emotional energy and avoid energy vampires
My favorite statements to shut people down when they dismiss you as being “too sensitive”

Afew weeks back, I asked the Pod-iance what instances left them fumbling for words and lacking the knowledge of what to say. And wow, did y’all deliver! One listener was stumped on what to say when someone says something you disagree with or that straight-up offends you. Another expressed difficulty speaking up when everyone and their mother has an opinion about what she should do for her wedding. And yet another expressed a tough time being vocal when a well-meaning person dismisses a powerful choice you’ve made (like not wanting kids or not eating meat).
Tough ones, right? Isn’t it easier to just sweep it under the rug or not rock the boat? Sure it is. But there is a cost to letting others mow you over with their words. Every time you choose to silence yourself, you are sending a subconscious message to yourself that your wants, opinions, and needs simply don’t matter as much as other people. That’s a HUGE message to your self-worth! And, not a good message, I may add.
Have a listen to this week’s show where I give a litany of script options of what you can say in the stickiest of situations. Be sure to have your pen and paper handy as this episode is packed with assertive phrases you can use to speak up for yourself without starting a brawl or feeling like an asshat.
This pod explores:
What to say when you’re offended but don’t want to get into a huge debate
How to speak up for a powerful choice you’ve made that your family doesn’t agree with
What to say when you’re totally caught off guard
How to shut down conversations that make you feel dismissed or backed into a corner
What to say when someone tells you you’re too “sensitive” or “emotional” or whatever

Recently, a listener wrote into the show expressing a specific challenge she had been struggling with: Telling her super-sweet, well-meaning husband to STOP doing something. Something that was really kind and definitely from a place of love and adoration for her. I mean… she didn’t want to break his heart or seem ungrateful. So, does one just bite the tongue and grin and bear it? Not exactly.
When someone is an asshole, that’s one thing. At least they’re making your job easier. But, what do you do when you don’t want that second date with someone with the biggest heart? Or how do you tell your mom to stop buying something for your home that you really don’t need/want?
In this week’s show, I look at specific phrases and tactics to use when telling someone, “Um, thanks, but no thanks” without feeling like a big asshole. If you have always stayed silent because GOD FORBID you hurt someone’s feelings, this pod is a must-listen. We’ll look at exactly how to deliver your request with grace and kindness so that you are far more likely to get your needs met… without being riddled with guilt.
This pod explores:
The number one thing you MUST avoid if you want to get your needs met
Specific verbiage and phrases to use to gently request someone change their behavior
How to use vulnerability in a safe way to help you connect with the other party (and get what you want)
How to truly hear someone out without taking on shit that isn’t yours to carry

Anti-Racism Education Series – I am planning on creating a special series with anti-racism activists and leaders to better educate our community on steps we can take in order to be better and do better. Let me know where you have been feeling stuck, what knowledge you are hungry for, and what topics you are interested in.
LLet me ask you a question. What does “self-acceptance” mean to you? If you’re like many people, you may think that if you accept yourself as is, that must mean that you will become complacent and all of a sudden not want to accomplish any goals. If you accept yourself at this weight, does that mean you won’t try to tone up and get into those skinnies? If you accept yourself and you’re not in a job that lights you up, does that mean you’ll resign yourself to die in that damn cubicle?
If any of those thought patterns sound familiar, you are certainly not alone. Many people think that if you choose to love and accept yourself NOW, then you are also accepting complacency and stagnation. In this episode, I debunk this myth and look at how loving and accepting yourself can actually catapult you into action… not only accomplishing goals and dreams, but also having a damn good time on the journey.
If you often say, “I’ll be happy as soon as I lose this last 10 lbs.” or have only motivated yourself through being a big ‘ol bitch to yourself, you need to have a listen and start crafting a different way.
This pod explores:
Why you need to separate how you feel about yourself from the goals you want to achieve
How to figure out if you’ve been motivating yourself with self-hate and negative messaging (and, yes, I get it, this does get you into action… it just feels like shit)
The main thing that HAS TO happen if you’re serious about accepting yourself (and how it relates to cults… I shit you not)
How to change your relationship to “self-acceptance” by acknowledging your biggest triggers

So… You’ve checked all the boxes. You got a good education. You settled down and got married. You pursued the career. You even bought the house, had the kids, the whole thing. And yet, you still wake up some days wondering, “Is this all there is? Is this it?” And maybe you even ask yourself, “What can’t I just be fucking HAPPY!? What is the secret to happiness!!?”
I mean, you SHOULD be, right? You checked all those god-damned boxes. You did all the things. All the things that are supposed to yield happiness and somehow you’re still coming up empty. I mean… WTF!?
You wouldn’t believe how incredibly common this is. Like, staggeringly common. We live in a society that tells us how we should live our lives and in turn, how we should feel about it. So, you get to this stage of the game and you’re like, wait a minute, why don’t I feel happy?
In this week’s episode, I spill 6 suuuuper common ways you may be stifling your own happiness and ALL of them are typically done subconsciously… so yeah, you prob have no idea you’re even doing them! Have a listen and get your happy back. Boom.
This pod explores:
Why your value system is EVERYTHING and probably the biggest factor in your personal joy (even though it’s such a YAWN! topic… I get it)
Why your routine and auto-pilot schedule may be squashing your happiness + how to shift it
How to navigate the constant need for approval… ugh
How to make choices on purpose instead of constantly residing in SHOULDsville, USA

Let me know where you have been feeling stuck, what knowledge you are hungry for, and what topics you are interested in.
It’s time for another Mailbag edition of the podcast! On these episodes, I take three listener submissions and give them tangible action steps on dealing with their current pressing issues and obstacles.
One listener wrote in expressing frustration for catching her bestie in lie after lie and not knowing #WTF to do with that? I mean… just dump the friendship? But what if she apologizes profusely and expresses how important the friendship is to her? But, a lie’s a lie, right? Maybe not.
Another listener asked about navigating a sticky family situation where all the grandparents in her son’s life are pretty much not interested in participating in his world. She has done everything in her power and now doesn’t know how to best take care of her son (and herself) and the litany of emotions that comes up around this topic. You may be a bit surprised about what my answer is for this fam. Hint: It involves giving her son a shit-ton more power.
Our final submission for this episode comes from a gal dealing with a verbally abusive sister who is also extremely nasty to their mother. Although this listener has boundaried her ass off with her sister, it pains her to watch her mom continue to be bullied. Tune in and hear one of my favorite tools to deal with the most insidious of family members.
Even if you aren’t in the exact situation as any of these Pod People, it’s highly likely you’ve had to process something similar. Have a listen and snag some serious tools for boundaries, sticking up for yourself, and dealing with not-so-honest people.
This pod explores:
The few times when it is NOT worth having a deep, boundary conversations with family
How to recognize when someone’s lie is actually not about you
How to teach kids to establish their own boundaries with confidence (even with other adults)
My favorite tool when your fam is legit #batshit cray

After years of threatening to do so, we finally decided to release a short blooper reel of our silly mic checks we do prior to recording each show. We will be back in your feed next week with a new episode, but thought you may get a kick out of this behind-the-scenes blooper track! Truly hope you enjoy!

So… you know you need some downtime. You need some time to rest and recharge, but every time you do, that naggy, little voice in your head keeps hounding you about how lazy you are and all the things you should be accomplishing with your time. Or maybe you finally take some time to rest but your mind keeps spinning with all the things you need to accomplish and you find your “rest” is simply more time for you to ruminate on shit that stresses you out.
Sounds familiar, right? Listen, we live in a society that glorifies productivity, busyness, and accomplishment, so it’s no wonder that taking a break seems like a luxury and not a necessity. Unfortunately, our bodies aren’t wired to be such a constant state of stress and it’s likely that you’ve seen the effects of lack of rest somewhere in your life: zero energy, exhaustion, not being present with those you love, less sexual connection/desire, reaching for unhealthy vices, and perhaps even disease or other physical ailments.
So what the hell do we do about it? In this episode, I look at the common stigmas around rest, how to tap into what is truly restorative for you, and what exactly your brand of “rest and recharging” looks like. Get ready for a deep sense of relief. #yourewelcome
This pod explores:
The common places we totally sabotage our own rest (aka Not really resting)
How to examine the places you tend to bulldoze over your relaxation with to-dos, obsessive thoughts, and the never-ending “shoulds”… even during “downtime”
How to figure out exactly what needs attention in your life to create reprieve and what simple actions you can take to get some rejuvenation already
