    Episode Six - 'Interdependence'

    What if the opposite of ‘independence’ was not ‘dependence’ but rather ‘interdependence’? This week’s episode continues where we left off in Episode 5. We talk about the perils of being hyper-independent and how a shift in our identity as nurturers allows us to receive support from others.

    Episode Five – Being a Strong, Independent Woman – That’s Good, Right?

    In this episode, we share how we were both raised to be strong, independent women and how that has helped us succeed. But. . . there’s also been a cost. We explore how being too tightly tied to this identity has paradoxically limited our professional success and the depth of our relationships.

    Episode Four - Two Truths & A Lie : How to Interrupt Catastrophic Thinking

    Have you ever played ‘two truths and a lie’? You probably know it as nothing more than a fun icebreaker, but did you ever think that it could also be an effective concept to recenter yourself in stressful moments? In this episode we talk about anxiety and we give you the breakdown of a simple technique that will not only allow you to interrupt your own ‘worst case scenario’ thinking but will also give you practical steps on how to move forward with greater clarity.

    Episode Three - Self Sabotage Disguised as Self Care

    In this episode, we chat about that tricky thing we can do to ourselves - choosing to do something that in the moment feels like it will recharge us but actually ends up depleting us even more. Caroline shares how she was tricking herself and some choices she is making now instead that are making all the difference.  And, in case that resonates for you, we offer these three questions to help you stop tricking yourself. What are clues that your “be kind to yourself” strategy is actually depleting you? Get curious about the need you have been trying to fill/meet through that behavior or activity? What is an alternative way to get that need filled that nourishes/rejuvenates you?
