A Bundle of Gratitude

Anxiety is something most people struggle with, but no one wants to talk about. In this episode, I share some facts, share some stories and share some hope with those struggling with anxiety. As someone who struggles as well, we’re all in this together.

From childhood, I can remember never being able to slow down and quiet my thoughts and get with the program. This quarantine has been such a blessing for my mental health as I’ve taken time each day to slow down and get in tune with myself! It’s so important to learn to slow down and enjoy every moment in life or the moments will fly by before we know it!

Y’all, let’s be real, it happens, and it sucks and it’s hard. But what if you’re the only one standing in your way from healing and moving on? I am on fire in this episode! I share my journey, how I’m healing and how you can too. Remember- shit happens, but you are a beautiful human who is deserving of love and happiness! Don’t let this set back hold you back from living your best life!

We’ve all experienced life on life’s terms. And sometimes it’s hard to move on from the shit in our past. In this powerful episode, I share some starting points on how to really take control of your life and start the healing. We all deserve to live this life to the best of our abilities. I hope you find joy and comfort in knowing you’re not alone.

I am honored to present this podcast to you today. I have taken the last 2 months to really piece together this episode today. Today I’m joined by Kali Dunican, a woman who has dedicated much of her life becoming an ally for the Black Lives Matter Movement. Today we talk about white privilege, racism, oppression, how to become an ally, but more importantly, we share our hearts on the matters. We get honest, real, uncomfortable. I hope your ready to expand your mind and heart with this episode. 💛

We’ve all gone through it, losing a friend. And no not death, the end of a friendship. It can be so scary, sad, and heartbreaking. And sometime it can be the best thing that ever happened to us. It doesn’t hurt any less, but in this episode, Leah and myself discuss our experience with losing a friend. And how it’s okay to grieve the loss and accepting that some people just don’t fit into our lives anymore. We hope you enjoy and we hope this helps those struggling out there!

Today I am joined by my bestie Leah as we dive into the dreaded body image monster. We go into detail about our experiences, our hopes and our daily journey in learning to love ourselves. Women supporting women is something so desperately needed and so I encourage you to find a girl you vibe with and just talk about life. I promise you won’t regret it. Some amazing pages we mention in today’s podcast are: @thebirdspapaya @25therapy @mikzazon @bodyposipanda @the.truth.doctor. And go give my gal a follow on her personal page! @theleahmiddleton

These are some really scary and unknown times we’re all going through right now, and any emotion you’re feeling is totally valid. In this episode, I talk a lot about what’s helped keep me positive and moving forward through this all, while still allowing myself to feel what I need to feel. I hope this helps someone who’s feeling a little helpless, you’re not alone ❤️

We’ve got some heavy stuff going on in the world right now. Some scary, heavy stuff. Please be gentle with yourself. Your feelings are valid and it’s okay to be scared. We have little control of a lot that’s happening, but I share today what I have control over and what you can have control over too. In hope this brings some normalcy to your life. I love you all and we’ll get through this.

Love is hard. Especially when you’re loving someone who can’t help themselves and may not act like they love you back. I am in no way a professional, but through my experience of being an addict and gaining insight from friends and family, this is my take on how to love an addict and forgive yourself for not being able to save them. Whatever the case may be, watching someone destroy their life and feeling completely helpless is a total punch to the gut. But hopefully after listening, there will be a light at the end of the tunnel for you ❤️

Let’s be real for second: no one talks enough about mental health. How important it is and how detrimental it can be if not taken care of. In this week’s episode I get really real. I’ve been struggling for a while and it’s not always rainbow and sunshine. Here’s a little ditty of what I’ve been going through and the work I’ve been trying to do.

Ladies and gents, ditch that scale, because I can promise you, your self worth doesn’t come from the number looking back at you! I share my heart about this because it’s been an uphill battle for me.

It takes ZERO dollars to be a good fucking person and to take the high road in life.

Y’all, it’s no secret that I LOVE therapy and it’s helped me tremendously. In this episode, I share about my journey with therapy, the ups, the downs, and all that came in between. Therapy is no joke, but if you’re willing to do the work, the rewards are indescribable. Enjoy!

I’m struggling with a lot of sadness lately and I felt compelled to just share where I was at and what was going on in my life. Short and sweet, and to the point. I feel that by being honest, I’m helping another person who may not feel comfortable getting honest. This one is for you 💕
