    BBR 178: The Transformative Effects of Gratitude on Mental Health

    BBR 178: The Transformative Effects of Gratitude on Mental Health

    Once a skeptic of the effects of gratitude, I've learned the science behind the benefits and it all makes sense now.  Gratitude has an undeniable impact on mental health and well-being.  With social media envy in your face, let's discuss how it distorts our view of success and impedes our ability to cherish personal milestones. 

    Discover the neuroscientific perks of gratitude, including its capacity to activate the parasympathetic nervous system for better sleep and immunity, as well as its power to strengthen bonds and increase social connections. 

    I share actionable strategies for weaving gratitude into the very fabric of your daily life.
    It's not just about saying thanks—it's about recognizing the journey, celebrating the small victories, and building  self-trust to reduce stress.

    BBR #177: The Journey Towards Genuine Self and Stress Transformation

    BBR #177: The Journey Towards Genuine Self and Stress Transformation

    Have you ever stripped away the masks you wear and faced the person beneath? My journey has been one of peeling back the layers of anger and pessimism that were my armor against the world, revealing the raw and vulnerable self hidden underneath. 

    In today's episode I share the profound experience of learning to embrace this true self, catalyzed by the revelations unearthed in therapy exploring the distinction between inherent traits and those we cultivate over time. The tears that I had long kept at bay became the symbols of a long-overdue emotional release. 

    By questioning the authenticity of my own confidence and boldness, we uncover together that the essence of who we are isn't about the persona we create; it's about the soul we expose.

    BBR #176: Redefining Rest Beyond the Boundaries of Productivity

    BBR #176: Redefining Rest Beyond the Boundaries of Productivity

    Have you ever caught yourself trapped in a cycle of guilt during what was supposed to be your downtime, or found yourself rigidly adhering to a schedule that leaves no room for the unexpected twists of life? 

    Today I'm sharing a piece of my own journey, I read a piece from a recent journal entry where I take a moment to pause and explore the "shoulds" that interfere with my rest while I learn to embrace change and practice self-compassion in practice. 

    Let's reevaluate the essence of true rest and the surprising effects it has on our energy and creativity. Releasing the expectations of constant productivity can actually propel us forward in ways we hadn't imagined. 

    This episode is for those of you seeking permission (which you don't need and can only really give yourself)  to relax without the weight of guilt—for those who are looking for inspiration to be kinder to yourselves. Let's explore the importance of flexibility in our routines and how accepting our current state can lead to greater brain-body resilience.

    BBR #175: Embracing Change for a Balanced Life: Tessa Arnold's Story of Entrepreneurship and Personal Growth

    BBR #175: Embracing Change for a Balanced Life: Tessa Arnold's Story of Entrepreneurship and Personal Growth

    Today, I'm talking with Tessa, co-founder and COO of Snapback Energy, to share her story of resilience and the pursuit of a fulfilling life, leaving the structured world of corporate banking to forge her path as an entrepreneur.

    She encountered more than just the challenges of business; she discovered a journey of personal transformation. Tessa's story is a compelling illustration of how confronting fears and embracing change can offer a more balanced life.

    The road to self-discovery isn't paved with ease, and Tessa and I take a moment to acknowledge the emotional landscapes that often hinder our path. Our discussion goes into the importance of self-care, the impact of our environments on our well-being, and the transformative power of gratitude.

    Tessa exemplifies how we can all find harmony within ourselves and show up authentically in the world. It's a reminder that personal growth requires unraveling complex layers within ourselves and that the journey is as important as the destination.

    In our final thoughts, Tessa and I explore how community and service are integral to our evolution and sense of satisfaction. Drawing parallels between the communal roles of our ancestors and our current societal dynamics, we highlight the enriching experience of giving back.

    Tessa’s commitment to supporting veterans and first responders through her work with Snapback Energy, and her coaching endeavors at Balanceofyou.com, serve as prime examples of living with purpose.

    This conversation is a testament to the power of simplicity, self-actualization, and the profound impact of fostering deeper connections in today's fast-paced world.

    Ever find yourself swept up in the tornado of to-dos, with your stress spiraling sky-high? This was my weekend,  jam-packed with family celebrations and the inevitable mountain of chores that followed.

    We're talking nervous system maintenance—like that soothing box breathing you've heard me talk about and how to activate that rest and repair side of your nervous system.  These aren't just fluffy suggestions; they're the tools to cultivating resilience and mastering the art of thriving, not just surviving.
