    The new (old) type of self-care that is on the rise

    This is the final segment of the self-care tools that Jill and Dr. Treisha have found to be helpful to them-- and this self-care tool from Dr. Treisha may surprise you. It's definitely not new, but it's gotten a bad rap for decades. Lately, however, it seems like people are rediscovering the many benefits of this potential path to healing. Note that you should always consult your medical care team prior to engaging in any type of care. We're not it. We're just two people sharing our experience and what worked for us. Okay?

    When We Don’t Feel Good-- Even with Self Care

    In this episode, Jill and Dr. Treisha continue their discussion of self-care with a deeper dive into two of the somato-emotional tools they've used to help them take care of their physical, mental, and emotional health. This episode also dives into a very frank discussion about not feeling good even when we do all of the things to help us feel good. It's an honest talk about why real life can just give us more than we're prepared to handle-- even with all of the self-care tools at our disposal.  And THIS conversation continued on long enough that we broke it into another episode for next week where Dr. Treisha discusses one self-care tool that you may be shocked to find out she is a fan of!

    Let’s Clear Up ”Self-Care” Confusion

    Ahhh... self-care. That thing which every person is told to make time for-- what also being wildly unclear about what self-care actually is and what types of self-care are beneficial. In the first episode of this two-part series, we talk about the specific tools that have worked for us, from the free to the bigger investments of time and money. We also discuss what types of things are NOT actually self-care and what things may be self-care to some but maladaptive to others.  Have a type of self-care that works for you? Share with us at LifeAndLoveInTheQ@gmail.com and maybe we'll include your answer in a future episode!

    What the heck is an Unsafe Ally?

    Allyship is important for marginalized groups, especially nowadays. Allies almost always take a risk by supporting those who need it, at no real benefit to themselves. But is there a such thing as an unsafe ally? And why would someone hold themselves out as an ally if they're not genuinely supporting those they claim to support? In this episode, Jill and Treisha talk about unsafe allyship and what things people say and do that can make them feel like unsafe allies. If this episode brings up any questions or feelings in you, please reach out to us at LifeAndLoveInTheQ@gmail.com. We'd love to know what you think!   SUBSCRIBE. LIKE. REVIEW.

    Getting Clear on Gender Dysphoria and Identity Distress

    Our world is rapidly evolving when it comes to our conversations around the concepts of gender, sex, and identity. Understandably, it can be challenging to understand what some terminology means. In this episode, Jill and Dr. Treisha dive into two terms that they've received multiple questions on lately-- gender dysphoria and identity distress. Through talking about it, they each had their own lightbulb moments on the terms and how they show up in our lives. Have something LGBTQIA+ related that you'd like more clarity on?

    What is Triangulation and Why Is It Messing with Your Conflict Resolution?

    What the heck is triangulation? In this episode, Jill and Dr. Treisha talk about the many ways triangulation appears in our conflicts or identity discrepancies, and why it has the power to really mess things up. As with so many things in life, awareness of when triangulation is present is an important first step. You'll hear in today's episode that Jill is continuing to wrap her brain around the concept.

    Bonus Episode: Hard Choices and How to Make Them (from Episode 18)

    Way back in the day in Episode 18, we discussed some ways to handle when life hands you hard choices. This is a bonus episode we recorded from that as our conversation continued.  Treisha discusses why she taught her yoga students to fail at poses. Jill discusses why people come out and what the heck took her so long to get there. Why there isn't more knowledge explaining the coming out process now? How do you know if you're LGBTQ? The hierarchy of wisdom that makes us question our life choices. Who is voicing your narrative?

    Uncertainty Trauma and What Happens When We Stay in the In-Between

    We often think of trauma as a certain event that happens and has a profound impact on our well-being. But what about when you're stuck in a constant conflict with no resolution in sight? Uncertainty trauma happens during the shifts in our life and can result in additional shame and masking. It's also where microaggressions show up quite often! Treisha shares some examples of uncertainty trauma related to the church and what that means for families and provides tools and ideas for breaking out of the uncertainty loop.  Listen in and let us know what you think!
