    In this episode we’ll confront the reality of feeling stuck…fear. Often when we want to make the next move but can’t seem to get out of our own way -it’s not because we’re not ready, it’s not because we need more education , experience etc., it’s because we’re scared of failure. “We cannot escape fear. We can only transform it into a companion that accompanies us on all our exciting adventures…” - Susan Jeffers

    The Pen Is Mightier Than the Keyboard: Learning, Time Management & College Success- with Professor Ginny Horan

    In this episode Prof.Virginia Horan and I  discuss the changing landscape of education, focusing on the impact of technology, parental involvement, and mental health on students. We talk about the importance of a holistic approach to education, self-care, and time management, and the value of traditional methods combined with technology. We also highlight the need for personal growth, resilience, and self-esteem.  Professor Ginny Horan has been teaching Communication since 1991 as a member of the full-time faculty at Suffolk County Community College. After researching the decline in student success, she discovered many Gen Z students lack time management skills, so five years ago she created a paper planner that teaches time management AND offers emotional and academic support through weekly video tutorials that match printed tips in the planner itself. Episode Takeaways  All technology is not necessarily good technology when it comes to learning  More students today in college are ambivalent and unsure  Flashcards, time management, and note-taking are still essential  Parents are also heavily managing their child’s high school life which makes learning time management more challenging Every college has tutoring, test anxiety workshops, time management workshops, and mental health resources The Centered Student planners have a QR code to provide emotional support and tips throughout the first year of college Writing by hand slows students down, to think about what they are actually writing When you are feeling overwhelmed try to HALT  and assess if you are Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired  When you don’t feel in control you feel anxious, if you feel in control you’ll feel a little less anxious Parents you have to let your kids fail Guided meditations are a perfect way to ease instant anxiety  Maybe we could all  Check out the website for more resources: www.thecenteredstudentplanner.com  Follow along on Instagram too :) @thecenteredstudent

    This isn't Anxiety...this is Determination!

    Perhaps that jittery feeling in your stomach isn’t anxiety, but determination. Lisa Feldman Barrett (@LFeldmanBarrett), a professor of psychology at Northeastern University In this episode, we explore the reality that comfort does not equate growth. Sometimes we need an anxiety reframe as Lisa Feldman Barrett suggests. " This isn't anxiety- this is determination." Rather than perceiving anxiety as a "sign" to back off and play it safe- consider it the necessary next step to growth. And rather than trying to predict the worst-conside the possibility, that you couldn't even imagine how amazing it was going to turn out. So when you start to feel all the feels- remember to "fly your butterflies in formation" and get to the other side of it...

    How to Have Your Own Back

    "You are not responsible for the version of you that exists in other people's minds."- Tiny Buddha In this episode, we explore the very human nature -of looking for the approval of others. Over time our need to belong to the pack has evolved into our need to feel validation and acceptance of others for our own self -worth. When we live a life based on the whims of other people's opinions we give our power away. We allow the precious life we have to be put on hold until we get the "green light" from others. I've provided a journal prompt at the end of the episode that will remind you...you got you!!! Until next time xo

    What if it's Better Than You Thought?

    In this episode, we'll explore the possibility of stepping outside of how you "see" the world. Freedom comes with allowing yourself to open the aperture and reframe how you wish to connect with yourself- about yourself. We often get caught up with the way things are. Here is an invitation to decide what perspectives you wish to keep and which ones are ready for a change.
