What I meme to say...a nutshell podcast Rea from Saski

Will the stories you tell yourself this week be riddled with negative or positive self-talk? I’ll let you know a little secret about that….the choice is yours. Good or bad, kind or critical, truth or lies….the kinds of stories you tell yourself ARE ENTIRELY WITHIN YOUR CONTROL! And it’s really hard to believe a hype girl who’s spewing lies….especially the ones we tell ourselves. So, choose kind, every time!

To most, we were conditioned that Valentine’s Day is about showering our loved one with extra super sweet gifts and acknowledging our feelings and demonstrating our love for that person. OR, for other’s, it’s just another cold winter (in this year’s case), Monday! It’s a meh for me, but that doesn’t mean I’m a hater…it’s just how I feel and not even because I’m single….or am I? Dah dah daaaah…listen now for more reasons to love love, but not “need” to celebrate it and show it only on Feb 14th!

We’ve all been there….we start the year hot, guns a blazin’, 100% with go getter gumption and 5-6 weeks later, we’re done, cooked, throwing in the towel! Sound familiar? That’s ok! I’ve been there too. I’m here to be your gentle reminder that before you complete check out and drop all the momentum….give yourself some grace, shift your mindset to how far you’ve actually come and then take pause, reassess, and keep going! If you’re feeling done…this episode is for you!

One of my favourite friends (and brother), Rhett, is back on the pod and we are chin waggin’ about friendships, how we show up for them, how they impact our lives, how we foster them within our families and why the quality of our circle of friends is paramount in our lives!

Recognizing controlling behaviours in our relationships is step one to curb our control freak tendencies! What does it look like? How does it impact the people in our team (family)? And what tools can we try to adopt into our daily lives to address this behavioural response? Where does it stem from and is it regulate-able and changeable…in short, our earliest attachments and yes, yes it is!

If he doesn’t act interested…he’s probably not! That’s the main topic we’re covering today….he’s just not that into you! Classic behaviour, he dangles a carrot and we start the batter for carrot muffins…no, ladies, stop it! If someone wants to make time for you…simply put, THEY WILL! In this episode Alicia and I talk about consistency vs breadcrumbing and how when you know exactly what you want, it’s your responsibility to ask for it. Taking the guess work out of dating in what can otherwise be a pretty confusing world at times, will only benefit all parties involved. Most importantly, it can help you with your own consistency and practise in asking clearly for what you want!
