MAILBAG: 5.0: Answers to Listener Questions EP#238

 

.  

______

Every so often, I do a special episode of the podcast that focuses on specific questions submitted by the PODiance. On this week’s episode, I tackle three listener submissions that you may find helpful.

One listener was unclear on knowing the difference between taking some down for herself and when she was slipping into isolating behavior. I mean… she does have 2 kids, a hubs, and a full-time job to worry about, so is she just trying to chill-the-F-out at the end of the day or is she running from her probs? Ever wonder if your “relaxation behaviors” are actually good for you? Yep. Have a listen, my friend.

Another listener wanted to figure out why she couldn’t just “get over it” or “let it go” after she got into an argument/discussion with her partner. Why did she feel so unresolved? Why did she still have pent-up emotion about the whole thing? If you’ve ever felt like you resolved something with your spouse but somehow you just don’t feel resolved, you’ll have to have a listen.

Finally, I answer a question posed by a listener worried that her partner never owns or even acknowledges his shit… his piece in the matter. Like, any matter. As he continues to turn the blame on her, she has been left wondering if she is #cray or if he’s simply not taking any responsibility. Never fear… I sound off on the exact way to approach an instance like this!

This pod explores:

  • How to know if you are just chillin’ out with yo’ glass of wine/netflix/online shopping or if you are actually running away from shit you are afraid to face (you’ll probably be surprised by my answer!)
  • How to really “get over” an argument with your partner
  • How to figure out what your fights with your partner are really about (It’s actually NOT about leaving the shoes out, the unpaid bill, or who’s taking Brayden to soccer practice)
  • The number one question you need to ask your spouse so they actually start listening to you (I know. No shit.)

7 Ways to Get “Unstuck” EP#237

7 Ways to Get “Unstuck” EP#237

 

 

   

.  

______

 

Recently a listener wrote in to the show, asking what to do when you find yourself feeling stuck. You know that racket, no? Stuck in a relationship… stuck in a soul-sucking job… stuck in a friendship that doesn’t serve you. The list goes on.

Many times, when we feel “stuck”, we look outside ourselves for the magic answer instead of addressing things that are totally within our power. Without knowing it, we fall into patterns and habits that ultimately leave us feeling stagnant and we forget to take action on the things that we already know bring us joy. Like, getting back to that knitting project you loved. Or picking up your guitar again. Whatever… you get the picture.

In this episode, I dig into seven different strategies and questions you can ask yourself to break out of your stuck-ness in order to create much more happiness and fulfillment. You may actually be super surprised how easy it can be!

This pod explores:

  • Why you think you “don’t have a choice” and what the real truth is
  • How to break up the monotony of your habits and switch shit up, creating much more momentum and movement
  • How to clear out the clutter in your world that is unknowingly keeping you stuck-as-fuck
  • Why you must create a plan if you want to change your current situation

7 Reasons Goals Fail & How To Make Sure Yours Don’t EP#236

7 Reasons Goals Fail & How To Make Sure Yours Don’t EP#236

 

.  

______

At the start of every year, it’s likely you get pumped up and excited to make some serious change. You decide on a handful of things that you are GOING to conquer this year, god-damn-it! But what actually makes those goals a reality?

Throughout my near-decade in this work, I have found that noble intentions have very little to do with bringing goals to fruition. Good ol’ fashioned gumption and desire are not enough to make your dreams come true. [sad trombone]

But never fear, this episode targets seven ways people tend to sabotage their own goals (without even realizing it) and how you can set yourself up to slaaaaay all your goals. It’s not rocket science, but if you can employ some of these easy tactics, you will kill all your 2018 goals! Yes, please!

This pod explores:

  • My favorite tool to use to ensure you are tackling this goal for YOU (instead of mom/fam/boss/society)
  • The number one way people lose steam while working towards a goal and how you can smoothly move beyond this obstacle like a BOSS
  • Why you need accountability and people in your life to support you and what to do if you don’t
  • How to keep your self-talk on point so you are constantly encouraged, kicking ass, and taking names

How to Stop Caring Sooooo Much What Others Think EP#235

How to Stop Caring Sooooo Much What Others Think EP#235

 

 

   

.  

______

We grow up buying into the idea that we are responsible for everyone else’s emotions. As we move into adulthood, that often looks like NOT bringing up important topics to your spouse, overlooking offensive comments from family, or allowing coworkers to walk all over you.

Quite simply, we buy into the notion that everyone else’s thoughts, opinions, and beliefs are more important than ours. Perhaps you can relate. Perhaps you worry so much about what others may think that you’ve completely lost what matters most to YOU. Maybe you don’t even know what your opinions are because you’ve always been focused on everyone BUT yourself.

Well, my friend, it’s time to change that shit up. In this week’s episode, I share four steps you can immediately implement in order to let go of what everyone else thinks and start tapping into YOUR wants and desires for a change. And, don’t worry, you’re going to do it all with the utmost grace and kindness. #noneedtobeadick

This pod explores:

  • How to tap into what you’re REALLY responsible for when it comes to making others happy
  • Getting past the idea that you are “letting someone down” (yes, it’s actually possible)
  • My favorite tool to feel good about your choices without being so concerned what your mom/bestie/boss will think
  • Why people-pleasers are liars and how to get yourself back on the Honesty Bandwagon

______

If you’re like most people, you have an overwhelming sense of excitement and ambition come the new year. Also like most people, perhaps you hit Jan gang-busters-style, but when Feb comes around you have slowly begun to lose steam, fervor, and action. Many people (and maybe YOU) enter the New Year with tons of plans and intentions, but somehow end up a bit off track sooner than later.

In this episode, I address the biggest obstacles people unknowingly establish for themselves when crafting New Year’s goals and “resolutions”. Yep, you read that right… many people actually make their job a shit-ton harder by not setting themselves up for success to begin with. I also share my personal planning tool I use to be sure I establish solid goals in aaaaall areas of my life (not just fitness and money… but, yes, those too). Be sure to grab your free download so you can plan and organize a seriously epic 2018 by figuring out what categories in which you would like to make headway. Plus, you’ll have a sexy, little worksheet to record all your brilliance!

This pod explores:

  • The two biggest mistakes people make when crafting goals for the new year
  • How to assess where you are in your life now and where you want to be in a year’s time
  • How to create goals that are really about YOUR fulfillment, are totally attainable, and light you up

The Imposter Syndrome: Feeling Like a Fraud + What to Do About It EP#233

The Imposter Syndrome: Feeling Like a Fraud + What to Do About It EP#233

 

.  

______

You land your perfect job.
And then your inner voice tells you that you are horribly unqualified and everyone is going to find you out.

You enter a super healthy relationship with an awesome partner.
And then your inner voice tells you how damaged you are, why you aren’t good enough, and why it’s all going to come crashing down in a blazing inferno.

You finally finish that graduate degree.
And then your inner voice tells you how you were the slowest in the class, probably won’t get hired, and should probably just try to get your old job back.

Sound familiar? If so, you are likely battling a lovely little issue we (in the personal growth world)  like to call The Imposter Syndrome. The idea that, in spite of your success or accomplishment, you are somehow not good enough, a total fraud, and have fooled everyone who will surely soon find you out.

In this week’s episode, I answer a listener’s burning Q about what to do when you find yourself beating yourself up about being an imposter in your career, relationship, as a parent, or whatever. You’ll learn what to do with those pesky thoughts, how to acknowledge yourself (without being a cocky asshole), and how to own your god-damned brilliance (even if that terrifies you).

This pod explores:

  • How to know if you actually are an imposter or if you’re just being a dick to yourself
  • How to zero in on what you’re really afraid of so you can get a handle on your triggers and create a much more empowering inner convo
  • Two of my favorite assignments to snap you outta this imposter trap (bring your pen and paper, Babycakes! We got work to do!)
  • The one tool you need to employ TODAY to change how you view yourself so you know, you can actually be fucking happy

How to Stop Feeling Like Shit with Guestie Andrea Owen EP#232

How to Stop Feeling Like Shit with Guestie Andrea Owen EP#232

 

 

   

.  

______

Ever feel like you’ve checked off aaaaall the things, all the boxes, all the accomplishments and you look around and you’re still like, “Why do I still feel like shit!!?” If you’re like most, you’ve bought into the idea that the perfect husband/wife/body/career/baby/pair of shoes will surely bring you happiness.

And then it doesn’t.
So maybe you try perfectionism.
Or people-pleasing. (I mean… if he loves you then of course that will change things!)
Or maybe you isolate and shut everyone out. (Maybe this feeling will magically go away.)
Perhaps you numb yourself with booze, Netflix, or work.

If any of that sounds like “Waaaaait! How’d you know!?” then you have to tune into this week’s episode where I chat it up with my very best friend and colleague, Andrea Owen, who just so happened to write a book about it. That’s right, folks. On the show, you’ll hear her talk all about her latest bit o’ brilliance called How to Stop Feeling Like Shit, so you know… you can stop feeling like shit.

This pod explores:

  • Two of the most common ways you sabotage the fuck out of yourself without even realizing it
  • Andrea’s sure-fire way to break out of isolation without feeling like you just might die from reaching out to someone (And guess what, it’s not hard! Like, at all!)
  • How to be sure you are walking your talk when you say you value honesty and authenticity (Hint: there may be a ‘mind-blown’ moment here)
  • Some juicy behind-the-scenes-bestie secrets!

Vulnerability: Why It’s Scary As Shit, Why You Need It, And Where To Start EP#231

Vulnerability: Why It’s Scary As Shit, Why You Need It, And Where To Start EP#231

 

.  

______

Ever find yourself desiring deep, rich connections with your partner or your friends and family but have a hellova time letting your guard down? Maybe you even find yourself craving deep intimacy but you’re absolutely terrified to really “be seen”. I mean, isn’t it just safer to stay walled up? Well… if the other party was vulnerable first… maybe then it would be safe. Maybe. Why is it so damn hard to be vulnerable?

If you’ve found your mind spinning with the same questions, you are certainly not the exception. Many of us crave rich, soulful connections with our loved ones, but we’re absolutely paralyzed by fear of being vulnerable. So we put up massive walls, don’t let people in, and then wonder why we don’t have intimacy.

In this episode, I dig into the detrimental notions we’re inundated with in our culture, how it sends major mixed messages about vulnerability, and why you need to drastically change the narrative if you want to experience intimacy in your relationships. And guess what? You get to take as many baby steps as you need to feel safe. Promise.

This pod explores:

  • How our society shapes our views of safety in relationships
  • Challenging the notion that vulnerability equals weakness, when in reality vulnerability equals courage
  • My three-step system to gradually and lovingly step into vulnerability (without feeling like you might die)
  • The cost of not allowing room for vulnerability in your life

What to Do When You Don’t Know What to Do EP#230

What to Do When You Don’t Know What to Do EP#230

 

.  

______

A PODiance member wrote to the show and wanted to know how to figure out what to do… when you just don’t know what to do… aka Making Tough Decisions. I mean… how on earth do you know if you’re making the right choice or not? And, GOD! What if you don’t make the “right” choice! Hell may freeze over…

Or maybe you’re super indecisive, always second-guessing your choices, and find yourself fearful of making the wrong choice… so you simply remain paralyzed, not moving in any real direction. Or maybe you’re having a hard time making a choice because of other people in your life. Maybe you’re afraid of letting them down or afraid of how they may feel about your choices.

In this episode, I share six steps to take when you are spiraling into the “I don’t know what to do!” abyss. These specific steps will help you get centered, make powerful choices for yourself, and let go of what everyone else may think about it. Yes, please!

This pod explores:

  • How to use the information you already know to help guide your decision-making
  • Why quitting is sometimes the best move to take
  • How to figure out if you’re making choices based on what YOU want… or if you’ve been motivated by other people’s opinions
  • The exact phrase you need to start telling yourself when you hear yourself saying, “I don’t know!”

How To Not Lose Your Shit With Your Family: Holiday Edition EP#229

How To Not Lose Your Shit With Your Family: Holiday Edition EP#229

 

.  

______

Find yourself dreading holiday functions with your family because it’s only a matter of time until your mom pesters you about why you don’t go to church anymore… or you aunt gives you shit for not having kids or not being married… or your uncle gets in a heated (uncomfortable) “discussion” about gun rights? Or perhaps you’re dreading the impending convo where your bro asks you for money. Again.

Even though the holidays are supposed to be merry and bright, they can often be the most stressful when it comes to dealing with our families. Enter years of baggage, a shit-ton of guilt, mix in some alcohol, and you have a family holiday that leaves you feeling like shit instead of connected with those you supposedly love the most. If this sounds any kind of familiar, all is not lost. And, believe it or not, you can totally take back your holiday experience, boundary your ass off, and consciously CHOOSE your focus this holiday. Even if your sister is an ass-hat.

This pod explores:

  • How to prepare for your family function ahead of time to set you up for success… even if your family is giving the circus a run for their money
  • What it really looks like to set up healthy boundaries and actually follow through on them
  • How to avoid (or end) uncomfortable conversations with the utmost grace
  • How to decide exactly what you want to focus on during the get-together… you know, so you can actually enjoy yourself
