    #79 Let's stop blaming our hormones for our feelings.

    Hey Hey!

    On this week's episode of Just For Today, join me, Steph Grainger, as we venture into the often misunderstood waters of our emotional tides and the role hormones play in them. In an episode I've fittingly titled "Let's Stop Blaming Our Hormones for Our Feelings," I take a stand against the age-old narrative that women's moods are at the mercy of their hormonal cycles.

    As I navigate the perimenopausal seas myself, I share my personal reflections on the amplified emotions that come with the ebbs and flows of our monthly cycles. But here's the thing – while our hormones may turn up the volume on our feelings, they are not the puppet masters of our reactions. It's time to debunk the myth that women are held hostage by their biology and to embrace the power of self-awareness.

    I delve into the importance of tracking our emotional triggers throughout the month, not just during the premenstrual phase. By understanding the root of our intensified feelings, we can address underlying issues such as the need for appreciation or the fear of rejection, rather than dismissing them as hormonal whims.

    This episode is an empowering call to action for all women to honour their emotions as messengers, to engage in self-reflection, and to communicate their needs effectively. It's about reclaiming our narratives and rewriting the script on how we perceive and talk about women's emotional health.

    For those seeking to deepen their connection with themselves and to navigate life with a clearer understanding of their emotional landscape, this conversation is a beacon of clarity and empowerment. And for anyone interested in my "Steph in Your Pocket" program for personalised support, all the details can be found here.

    So just for today, let's commit to being present in our lives, to truly listen to our bodies and minds, and to appreciate the now. Tune in to this episode that encourages you to see beyond societal stereotypes and to find strength in your emotions.

    #78 It's time to take ownership of our feelings and behaviours.

    Hey Hey!

    This week on the Just For Today podcast, I, Steph Grainger takes you on an insightful expedition into the realm of personal responsibility and emotional reactions. In a society where it's all too common to hear phrases like "You made me feel this way," I want to challenge you to reclaim your power by acknowledging that we are the masters of our own feelings and reactions.

    Join me as I deep dive into the concept that while we cannot control the actions of others, we have complete autonomy over how we process and respond to those actions. I share personal anecdotes and client experiences to illustrate the importance of self-reflection and healing when we find ourselves triggered by someone else's behaviour.

    This episode is a powerful reminder that while we may not be able to change others, we have the capacity to change our response to them. And I would actively encourage you to examine your own wounds and triggers, rather than placing blame or demanding change from those around us.

    Whether it's navigating the complexities of social media interactions or re-evaluating long-standing relationships, Steph offers tangible tools and wisdom to help us take ownership of our emotional landscapes. She prompts us to consider recent situations where we've felt affected by someone else's actions and to explore ways to heal and strengthen our boundaries.

    As always, I am eager to engage in open, constructive conversations with listeners who are ready to share their insights or respectfully challenge perspectives. So, just for today, tune in to this thought-provoking episode that invites you to be present in your life, engage your senses, and take control of your emotional well-being.

    #77 Money! Where do my beliefs about money come from!?

    Hey Hey!
    In this week’s episode of Just For Today, join me, Steph Grainger, as we delve into the intricate world of money mindset. I explore the deeply ingrained beliefs about wealth that shape our lives, often passed down through generations. From the fear of scarcity to the anxiety of abundance, I dissect the narratives that hold us back from financial freedom and fulfilment.

    I share insights from my own journey of overcoming the "not enough" mentality and the transformative process of reprogramming thoughts around money. This episode is an invitation to examine your own relationship with money, confront the fears, and rewrite your financial story. Are you ready to shift your perspective from a place of lack to a place of trust and flow?

    I share thought-provoking questions that will help you to unearth the roots of your money beliefs, encouraging self-reflection and forgiveness. Whether it's a fear of running out or the guilt of having too much, we confront it all with compassion and clarity.

    For those seeking to break free from the constraints of old money narratives and step into a life of abundance, this conversation is a must-listen. And if you're looking for personalised support, I'm here to guide you one-on-one through the journey of reshaping your money mindset, amongst other life limiting beliefs.

    Discover the power of conscious financial thinking and start cultivating a relationship with money that serves you. Just for today, let's embrace the present and the potential it holds for our prosperity.

    #76 Menopause! What I wish someone had told me 20 years ago.

    #76 Menopause! What I wish someone had told me 20 years ago.

    Hey Hey!

    In this profoundly personal episode of Just For Today, I, Steph Grainger, therapeutic mentor, invite you into a candid exploration of the emotional landscape that accompanies the transition into menopause. As I share my own experiences with the onset of perimenopausal changes, we delve into the complexities of bidding farewell to a cycle that's been a constant companion and a symbol of our womanhood.

    This week's conversation may resonate particularly with women approaching or navigating the waves of menopause, but I encourage listeners of all ages and genders to tune in. Understanding this natural phase of life is invaluable, and the insights shared can be a beacon for those who will one day walk this path or support someone who is.

    Join me as I reflect on the powerful emotions that surface when facing the end of a reproductive era – from the initial shock of a missed period to the profound sense of loss and gratitude for the body's capabilities. It's a journey of acknowledging change, embracing growth, and preparing to step into what I like to call "queenhood" with wisdom and grace.

    This episode is not just about the physical aspects of menopause but the emotional and spiritual growth that comes with it. It's a testament to the strength and resilience of women, and a reminder of the importance of being present in our lives, engaging our senses, and cherishing the now.

    For anyone looking to connect more deeply with their emotions, to understand the significance of life's transitions, or seeking guidance through personal change, this is a conversation that promises to touch your heart and perhaps even change your perspective.

    And for those interested in further support, whether through one-on-one therapeutic mentoring, my "Steph in Your Pocket" program, or the upcoming 'Disconnect to Reconnect' event in Chelmsford on 5th May, you'll find all the details in the show notes below.

    So, let's embrace this moment together, and remember, just for today, to be fully present in the wonder of our lives.

    #75 Why I think failure is absolutely essential.

    Hey Hey!

    In this week's episode of Just For Today, join me, Steph Grainger, as we navigate the choppy waters of self-doubt and the fear of failure. With my own inner Negative Nancy whispering thoughts of uncertainty, I take you on a journey to explore why failure is not only inevitable but necessary for personal growth. We'll discuss how our darkest fears often surface in moments of vulnerability and how to transform them into powerful lessons.

    Listen in as I share intimate stories from my life and the lives of those I've encountered, including the challenges of parenting through a child's academic journey. We'll unpack the societal pressures and personal narratives that shape our views on success and failure, and why it's crucial to reframe our perception of failing.

    This episode is a heartfelt reminder that failure is feedback and an opportunity for growth. It's about trusting that setbacks can lead to greater things and embracing the uncomfortable as part of the human experience. Whether you're a parent watching your child struggle or an individual contemplating a leap of faith, this conversation is for you.

    Plus, don't miss out on the details of my upcoming 'Disconnect to Reconnect' event in Chelmsford on 5th May. It promises to be an enlightening day filled with insights and tools for inner healing and self-discovery - more info HERE
