Let's Train Your Brain Anne Sigrid Urstad-Farrell

As we are entering the Holiday season I wanted to give some room for reflection to how challenging it can be. Loneliness can be found both alone and amongst our loved ones, and this episode gives us some space to reflect on the reality of what the Holidays are like for a lot of us. My biggest encouragement is that we can find inner peace, or at least moments of inner peace as we are entering this Christmas season.

How do you talk to yourself and about yourself? What are the thoughts in your mind saying about who you are, and your worth? December is a month of focusing on others, giving and celebration, but I want us to take a second to check in with ourselves. Are we being kind, not just to others, but to ourselves as well?

It's easy to get stuck in our mind, especially when for some reason we believe those around us have it all put together. You re not alone in feeling challenged by the world at times. This episode is a little BOOST for you that need to get a change of perspective, and remember what really matters. You got this!

Life can be overwhelming at times, but there is a difference between being busy and becoming burnt out. This episode is a reminder to take a step back and ask yourself the important question of what it important for you. Are you putting too much energy into a part of your life that you honestly do not have the capacity for? Are you prioritizing self-care? Are you able to fully charge your battery? Are you aligned? All of this and more in this week's episode!

There are many aspects of grief. The grief you did not ask for, the grief that is a part of your decision, and the grief that came because of what you wanted but never received. This week I share how grief has been a part of my journey as a new immigrant, and how I am learning to accept it and let it take the space it needs.

How can we find hope when life gives us nothing but darkness? My friend Therese takes us on her personal journey of losses and extreme trauma. This episode is about her fight to overcome hopelessness and how she was able to get the help that she needed.
