    Lessons from Champions: Growth is Uncomfortable

    In today’s episode of the Me, Myself, and HER Podcast, Alicia Caldwell, LPC, discusses part two of her enlightening four-part series inspired by the 2024 Olympic Games. Have you ever watched Olympic athletes endure intense pain and discomfort to achieve greatness? From injured sprinters to athletes battling muscle strain and fatigue, the Olympics revealed that discomfort is unavoidable in reaching the top. These athletes didn’t let their pain define them; instead, they used it as fuel to push beyond their limits. In this episode, Alicia reflects on the lessons we can draw from Olympians: Growth is inherently uncomfortable. Just like Olympians who endure the physical discomfort of training to reach peak performance, we, too, must embrace the discomfort of mental fitness routines that build our mental muscles for the marathon of life. Discomfort is not our enemy—it’s a sign that we are stretching beyond our comfort zones and making strides toward our full potential. Episode Takeaways: Build Your Mental Muscles Intentionally: Just like physical fitness, mental fitness requires deliberate effort. Engage in regular practices that strengthen your “mental muscles” and enhance your resilience. Learn Mental Fitness Techniques: While many people know how to improve their physical fitness, few have been taught effective mental fitness techniques. Understanding these strategies is crucial for overall well-being. Observe the Masters: Champion athletes show us the power of extensive mental and physical training. Watching them push through pain and adversity offers valuable perseverance and mental toughness lessons. Incorporate Mindfulness into Your Routine: Mindfulness is a powerful tool for mental fitness. For practical strategies, refer to page 168 of Alicia Caldwell’s book, The Journey Back to Self, where she introduces mindfulness and its benefits.   Ready to Unlock Strategies for Mental Fitness? --->Invite Alicia Caldwell to speak at your school, organization, or event.

    Lessons from Champions: Run Your Race

    Welcome back to the Me, Myself, and HER Podcast! Today, Alicia Caldwell, LPC, shares part one of a four-part series of lessons she learned from watching the 2024 Olympic games. Champion runners know one thing for sure: stay in your lane. The moment they start trying to run someone else’s race, crossing into another lane, or matching someone else’s pace, they risk everything they’ve worked for—disqualification, collisions, or even serious injury. This rule isn’t just for the track; it’s a powerful lesson, especially for us as women and girl leaders striving to lead and succeed in this marathon called life. Episode Takeaways: Mental fitness is just as important as physical fitness in terms of endurance. Know what you are running toward, know what you are running for, and stay in your lane. Comparison is the thief of joy and will sabotage our ability to live authentically. Trying to run someone else’s race will cause us to stumble and hinder our progress. Focus on your lane and the journey you have been assigned to. Do you want to shift the atmosphere at your organization, school, or event to one of mental empowerment?

    The Power of Accountability

    Welcome back to the Me, Myself, and HER Podcast! Today, Alicia Caldwell, LPC, shares why her intended August break from podcasting didn’t happen because of an accountability-infused conversation with her husband. There are times when our self-accountability is lacking, and that’s when our accountability partners really come in handy. They may be family and friends or a hired professional like a business coach or therapist. Accountability partners are a valuable asset on our journey to living up to our potential and beyond. Episode Takeaways: 1. Negotiating on our promises to ourselves is holding us back from our purpose and potential.2. Accountability partners are crucial because they remind us of our commitments and push us to stay on track, ensuring that we follow through on our promises and achieve our goals.3. Self-accountability is essential for personal growth and leadership. By consistently showing up for ourselves, we build trust in our abilities and are positioned to show up for those looking for support, guidance, and inspiration.   Do you want to shift the atmosphere at your organization, school, or event to one of mental empowerment?

    Saying No is Self-Care

    Welcome back to the Me, Myself, and HER Podcast! Today, Alicia Caldwell, LPC, discusses an essential aspect of self-care that is often overlooked: the power of saying no. In a world that constantly demands our time, energy, and attention, learning to say no is not just about setting boundaries; it’s about prioritizing our mental and emotional well-being. This episode will explore why saying no is a vital form of self-care and how it can transform your life by freeing up space for what truly matters. Episode Takeaways: Understanding the Importance of Saying No: Discover why saying no is essential for being a good steward of your mental health and well-being. Say no to overcommitting: We've all been there—taking on too many tasks and responsibilities.
