7 Ways To Stay Positive Around Negative People EP#380

7 Ways To Stay Positive Around Negative People EP#380

You walk into work, totally optimistic about your day, and you give your co-worker a casual ‘How-ya-doin’-today?’ She responds with her usual quip about how she’s ‘alright-I-guess’ but immediately launches into complaining about her neighbor/workload/recent ailment.

Or maybe it’s every time you give your sister a ring on the phone. You ask how she’s doing. She starts off with all the problems… all the things that are shitty… or all the reason’s she’s a total victim. And you’re over here like, “Why is everyone so damn negative!?

It can sometimes feel like it will take a sheer act of god to stay positive around negative people. It tends to be a much more difficult endeavor to get others to join your positivity movement than to simply indulge and comply with their complaints, ho-humery, or victim mentality.

So, what’s a personal development junkie to do when around such negativity? Just cut those people out entirely? But, what if they’re co-workers? I can’t just quit my job! And, what if they are The Fam? Not to worry, my love. In this episode, I discuss 7 tactics you can use to keep your sanity around Debbie/Danny Downer without feeling like an elitist asshole.

This pod explores:

  • The first (and often overlooked) step you have to take to begin weeding out the non-joy-junkies
  • My favorite way to “prep” for being around negative people so you can stay chill, calm, and happy
  • How to “call-out” Negative Nancy/Norman without creating a huge, awkward-ass moment
  • Conversation hacks and questions to use when you know you’re going to be around negative peeps

Confidence Hangover: Feeling Guilty After Speaking Up For Yourself EP#379

Confidence Hangover: Feeling Guilty After Speaking Up For Yourself EP#379

IIf you’re like many of my clients and students, you have likely found yourself super inspired to start speaking up for yourself… even to those tough peeps (hi, mom) who make it extremely challenging. You muster all your new-found courage and go broach the challenging topic at hand with the challenging person at hand, and BOOM! “Said person” doesn’t get what you’re trying to share, totally doesn’t respect any boundaries you propose, and hurls so much guilt and hurt your way, you’re not totally sure you’ll survive.

You’re left vacillating between two very opposing emotions. On one hand, you are super, fuckin’ proud of yourself for taking a stand and spelling out some tough boundaries. But on the other hand, you’re terribly hurt, bummed out, and deeply saddened that your loved one and you are at odds.

Listen, when you start speaking up for what YOU want for a change, there are going to be people in your life who just do not like the new, “empowered you”. They may be mean, make you wrong, or push guilt on you like no one’s biz. But, all is not lost. In fact, this episode is all about navigating the “hangover” of standing up for yourself, deciding what the healthiest choices are for you, and owning your personal power like a total badass.

This pod explores:

  • How to resist the urge to “make someone like you” after the two of you have had a tough convo (even if they’re super pissed at you, but you totally don’t think you did anything wrong)
  • What to watch out for if you’re a “recovering” people-pleaser
  • How to use the other person’s reaction to know if you’re on the right track or not
  • How self-talk filters into the equation and the exact phrase I use to stay connected to my peace

Dealing with the Constant Need for Approval EP#378

Dealing with the Constant Need for Approval EP#378

EEver find yourself obsessing about what others may be thinking? Or re-run conversations in your head, second-guessing everything you said? Have a difficult time saying ‘No’ because… um, what if they don’t like me!? Ever feel like if someone is disappointed in you, you are damn-near destroyed and ruined? Or do you ever experience extreme guilt when you take time for yourself or set up a boundary?

If you answered ‘yes’ to any of those Qs, it’s likely that you are struggling with some serious approval addiction… essentially, the need to be liked… At. All. Costs. And those “costs” are usually your time, energy, self-worth, and desires. And, let me tell you, you are most certainly not alone.

In this week’s show I look at the common ways approval addiction shows up in your life and a specific 5-step process you can take to start ushering in some #legit SELF-approval… Instead of always worrying about what everyone else is thinking about you. #exhausting

This pod explores:

  • How to acknowledge that a situation in your life sucks, but YOU don’t suck… and really believe it.
  • How to allow yourself to feel awesome when you receive approval without allowing it to dictate your self-worth
  • How to know what is and what is not your responsibility when wanting to make everyone happy

Toxic Positivity: The Detriment Of Negligent Optimism EP#377

Toxic Positivity: The Detriment Of Negligent Optimism EP#377

Just think positive.
Put on a happy face.
Look on the brightside.
Think happy thoughts.
Don’t cry over spilled milk.
Good vibes only.

Sound familiar? There is no shortage of platitudes and idioms that send the message that the only acceptable emotion to feel is happiness. The underlying implication is that emotions of sadness, worry, shame, embarrassment, etc. are simply not permissible. And, for god sake, don’t let me actually see you experience one of those emotions. So, “sweep it under the rug” and “have an attitude of gratitude”.

And, then if you are in a personal shitstorm, you feel guilty for actually feeling awful. Like, other people have it sooooo much worse, so who am I to feel bummed about losing this job promotion? Better put on a face of “nothing to see here”. And perhaps you’ve even found yourself saying one of these platitudes to someone else. Instead of the awkward intimacy of witnessing someone in an uncomfortable state, we say, “Don’t cry” or something else that completely bypasses and dismisses their emotions.

The name for this phenomenon?

Toxic positivity.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I don’t think we consciously employ this language with the intention of dismissing how we feel or how others feel. But, it can be incredibly detrimental nonetheless. In this week’s show, I address how toxic positivity shows up in our lives and how to process aaaaaall the emotions in a powerful way. Get ready for a massive dose of emotional intelligence.

This pod explores:

  • My formula for knowing when to use positive affirmations and when that is the LAST thing you should do
  • Understanding what Toxic Positivity actually is and how it is showing up in your life right now
  • Powerful and alternative phrases to say to both yourself and others to allow room for all emotions
  • The (somewhat) ugly truth about personal growth that no one has told you before

Knowing When to Break the Rules EP#376

Knowing When to Break the Rules EP#376

HHands up if you’re a chronic rule follower! (Same, girl. Same) How ‘bout rule breaker? (Ooooo, you rebel, you!) It’s likely that wherever you fall on the rule breaking spectrum, constantly breaking or never breaking rules doesn’t always serve you.

For example, Mr. Smith used to looooove to break the rules of the road. Drive in the carpool lane. Park in the red zone. You name it. But, he paid for it dearly. Financially and maritally. He has a natural inclination to break the rules. I, however, am on the opposite ends of the spectrum. I am overly punctilious and have found that NOT breaking the rules has cost me dearly in the past.

So, how do we know when we need to break the rules and when we need to fall in line? Is there a set guideline? And, what if the rules are imposed on us by religion, society, or government? And, how does that differ from our self-imposed rules? Like, I-can’t-have-anyone-over-to-my-house-unless-it’s-spotless kind of rules?

In this episode, I explore what it looks like to break the rules consciously versus unconsciously, how to acknowledge the healthiest choice for yourself in each situation, and how to examine if you concur with the origin of the rule. Get ready to push some limits. Or not.

This pod explores:

  • My favorite tool to help you make a powerful decision, even if others don’t agree
  • The major way you may be making excuses, breaking rules, and harming yourself in the process
  • How to know when rule-following or rule-breaking is causing you more grief than happiness
  • Examining the long-term effects of following rules or breaking rules

7 Ways to Create a Fresh Start EP#375

7 Ways to Create a Fresh Start EP#375

If you’re like most, this past year has wreaked an abundance of havoc on your mental, physical, and emotional faculties. If it wasn’t the collective trauma of constant fear of a looming and evasive virus, painful isolation, or loss of personal freedom, it was the loss of a job, finances, a loved one, or possibly the end of an important relationship. In short, 2020 can eat a bag of dicks, amiright!?

So, where does that leave us now? The genesis of a new year often gives us hope and thrill of possibility and opportunity. But, what does that really look like? What does it mean to consciously create a fresh start and actively move on? Does that mean we sweep everything under the table and put on a happy face? Hardly.

In this week’s show I look at seven actionable steps you can take in order to shed the trauma of the past year, identify what you need to succeed, and begin to take action toward the life you desire. No matter what scars the past year has saddled you with, this episode will give you practical tips on purposely switching gears, healing those wounds, and kicking serious ass.

This pod explores:

  • How to identify what is in the way of you moving on
  • The easiest and most practical things you can do in your home to shift energy and create a new start
  • How to know what things you should quit and when you should persevere
  • The #1 way to ensure you create a fresh start with success

7 Reasons Goals Fail + How to Make Sure Yours Don’t EP#374

7 Reasons Goals Fail + How to Make Sure Yours Don’t EP#374

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 decade-plus 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] In fact, a recent Inc.com article indicated that only 8% of people actually accomplish their goals. WHOA!! 8%!? Well, fuck.

But, wait.

Never fear, Babycakes, because 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 employ some of these easy tactics, you will kill all your 2021 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 Make Epic Shit Happen in 2021 EP#373

How to Make Epic Shit Happen in 2021 EP#373

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 rolls around you have slowly begun to lose steam, fervor, and action. Also, 2020 kicked many of our asses, so there’s that to contend with. Many people (and maybe YOU) enter the New Year with many 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 ensure 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 planning guide so you can plan and organize a seriously epic 2021 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
  • Why you probably don’t want to celebrate your 2020 accomplishments, but you kinda, absolutely MUST

Primitive Fear To Modern Anxiety: Understanding The Four Modern Fear Responses EP#372

Primitive Fear To Modern Anxiety: Understanding The Four Modern Fear Responses EP#372

Tell me if this sounds familiar: You get into a confrontation or altercation with an overbearing family member, colleague, or whoever. You are totally caught off guard and after the incident your mind is spinning with all the things you should have said. Your mind doesn’t stop. You continue to ruminate and replay the incident, feeding into a frustrating anxiety spin out.

Or how about this: You have an opportunity to start your own business, get back into the dating scene, or finish an important project but you can’t seem to get past your procrastination. You know what you need to do, you even know how to do it, but you seem to just stay paralyzed.

What do these situations have in common? Both are fueled by a primitive fear response that is showing up as anxiety and procrastination. As we have evolved as humans our various fear responses (fight, flight, freeze, fawn), have morphed into modern day iterations. Namely: anxiety, depression, procrastination, and people-pleasing. If you find yourself struggling with any of these behaviors/conditions, it’s likely a root fear is the culprit.

In this episode, I look at our four primitive fear responses and their modern iterations, how to spot the way they show up in your life, and what you can do about them. Time to meet that fear with courage and power. You’re welcome.

This pod explores:

  • The two primary fears we are all born with (hint: it’s not the fear of what others think)
  • Understanding the connection between our responses to extreme threat and how that changes for everyday occurrences (like when your in-laws don’t like you or you’re afraid you can’t pay rent)
  • How your subconscious fear response is influencing your anxiety, overwhelm, and spinning thoughts
  • My favorite two tools to work with the modern fear responses of anxiety, depression, procrastination, and people-pleasing

6 Ways to Deal with Grief During the Holidays EP#371

6 Ways to Deal with Grief During the Holidays EP#371

Ever feel like you just can’t quite enjoy the holidays because you’re in the middle of an emotional shitstorm that seems to make the season trying, stressful, and overwhelming? Maybe it’s your first holiday after being newly divorced. Or maybe it’s the fifth Christmas without your beloved mother, and you can’t seem to understand why it’s still so damn hard for you. Or perhaps you just moved your family across the country and although it was an amazing decision for you, you still find yourself incredibly nostalgic, overly emotional, and sensitive.

If any of that sounds familiar, it’s likely that there is something in your world that needs a little processing. (And, no there’s nothing wrong with you.) Perhaps what’s tugging at you is the need for full-on grieving the loss of a loved one, which feels exacerbated by the sentimental tone of the holiday. Or perhaps it’s as simple as “a case of the blues” because you’ve changed jobs and aren’t able to do the gift exchange with your previous company you were with for ages.

Whatever you may be going through in your life, if you’ve created any changes in patterns, it’s likely that there may be a bit (or a shit ton) of emotion to work through… especially during this time of year. Even if you don’t think grief is called for, have a listen through this episode where I share six things you can do to work through all the “feels” you’re having during this temperamental time. And, P.S. dealing with your feels doesn’t mean you’re weak, too dramatic, or too sensitive. It just means you’re fucking human. And, brave.

This pod explores:

  • The real reason why you might be drinking too much, eating too much, or spending too much during the season
  • The best way to set yourself up for success if you KNOW the holidays will make your current life circumstances extra tough
  • How to let go of the past in a powerful way and create a new, empowered meaning behind the season
  • Who you should (and should not) be turning to for support
