    Ep 86| Kim needs a sabbatical

    I have decided to take a break from podcasting. After much reflection, I can see that my mind is exhausted from all of the content creation I do on a weekly basis. I write to emails/blogs. I create video clips for courses. I create slide decks for presentations. I create contact for my Facebook Group and try to engage with them. And I create this podcast, which includes recording an episode, getting it transcribed, writing shownotes, video-editing, social media creations, etc. And I’ve decided it’s time to simply parts of my business and all of the “creating” I do in a week. This is not an easy decision because I feel like I’m letting all of you down. But for now it feels like the one that will most serve me when I ask myself, “How do I want to feel in my life.” What’s in the episode:  How our inner critical fights back when we make decisions that serve our mental health Why rest is a right and not a reward How to make hard decisions and stop dealing with all the “shoulds” How to dial back while also dialing in to your inner self. “It’s time to replace the “shoulds” in our lives and ask ourselves, “How do I really want to feel in my life?”   If you enjoy this episode and it inspired you in some way, I’d love to hear about it and know your biggest takeaway.

    Ep 84 | Managing Your Inner Critic & Practicing Compassion

    In our everyday lives, we spend a great deal of time telling ourselves that we aren't good enough, smart enough, talented enough, or thin enough. Our minds tell us we don't deserve the things we want. Our desires will never come true; even if they do, they will disappoint us. It’s called the inner critic―that part of us that judges us, shames us, and makes us feel inadequate And it affects us in very powerful ways.   In this episode, Kim explains we get messages from our primary caregivers, society, and our community that tell us how we are supposed to operate in the world. There are invisible rules and expectations of how we are supposed to “do life.” In order to protect ourselves, our inner critic shows up to keep us in line. But the inner critic exaggerates and judges, and while it has our best interest at heart, it doesn’t help us or motivate us to change. Instead, it keeps us from being true to ourselves.    Kim walks you through 4 layers of self-talk, according to Jack Canfield, and how we can coach ourselves in a positive and more rewarding way.     What’s in the episode:  The role of the inner critic How we are living in the emotional traps we grew up in How our beliefs shape our perceptions of how we show up in the world The 4 layers of self-talk to overcome your inner critic     “When guilt and shame are used to control you, you become someone you’re not. ”-Kim Strobel   If you enjoy this episode and it inspired you in some way, I’d love to hear about it and know your biggest takeaway.

    Ep 83 | How to Overcome Perfectionism and Embrace Who You Are

    We all struggle with the fear of not being enough. We are good at faking it. We go through the world smiling, acting as if we are okay when in reality, we might be inwardly struggling. Perfectionism is striving for flawlessness by setting unrealistically high standards for ourselves. We use perfectionism as a shield to avoid rejection, shame, criticism, and failure. We try to be the perfect worker, spouse, parent, follow the rules, and so on, yet it leaves us feeling exhausted. In today’s episode, Kim explains how perfectionism shows up in our lives and provides insight into how to rewrite our stories and begin living a bigger, bolder life full of imperfection that is a truer version of yourself and feels so much better.    What’s in the episode:  What is behind our “not-enoughness” The definition of perfectionism and why it keeps us stuck How the fixed mindset and getting praised for achievements create perfectionism What perfectionism is actually hiding How to rethink our stories and embrace our authentic selves   “When you start to make decisions that are more aligned with who you are at your core, you will probably outgrow a lot of people ” -Kim Strobel   If you enjoy this episode and it inspired you in some way, I’d love to hear about it and know your biggest takeaway.

    Ep 82 | Sharing Our Shame Stories and Getting What We Need

    Shame is a powerful emotion and happens to all of us. It involves looking inwardly in a harsh way with a critical eye while we beat ourselves up even for the smallest mistakes. We are so overly critical of ourselves, and then we hide or bury our feelings of shame when we need to learn to release them with people who have earned the right to hear our stories. Through sharing our stories, we free ourselves from some of the pain we are carrying and holding inside of ourselves.  What’s in the episode:  Why shame needs words and a voice to be free Hustling for worthiness to account for our believed inadequacies  Six types of people not to share your shame story with How to exercise compassion towards ourselves and others   “You have to love yourself enough to reach out for help and support when going through hard things. ”-Kim Strobel   If you enjoy this episode and it inspired you in some way, I’d love to hear about it and know your biggest takeaway.

    Ep 81| Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway

    Are you afraid of making decisions? Asking your boss for a raise? Launching your own business? Asking for what you want in your relationship? What prevents us from taking the actions we need in our lives to get to the next level? FEAR! Fear is one of the greatest obstacles to our success because with fear comes uncomfortableness and many people wait for uncomfortableness to leave before they act. In this episode, I’m going to teach you why you must learn to feel uncomfortable, to feel the fear, and do it anyway! What’s in the episode:  Why “action” is the bridge between our inner world and outer world The inner journey it takes to get the outer results we want How to move from stuckness to action The mindset it takes to play in the arena of bigness   “Many times our fears are so strong and dramatic that they keep us stuck. ” - Kim Strobel   If you enjoy this episode and it inspired you in some way, I’d love to hear about it and know your biggest takeaway.

    Ep 80 | How Gratitude Increases Happiness

    Ep 80| How Gratitude Increases Happiness   Dr. Masuro Emoto discovered that molecules in water are affected by our thoughts, words, and feelings. Humans are made up of 70% of water, which means the words we expose ourselves and others to have an impact on them. He discovered that crystals formed in frozen water with positive words written on them formed brilliant, clear, snowflake patterns while negative words directed toward water formed fragmented, dark crystals. This research proves that when we practice gratitude and send that positive energy towards ourselves, mostly made of water, we get positive results and feel happier in our lives.  What’s in the episode:  The science between thoughts and water How our thoughts affect our lives in big ways The practice of gratitude creates positive emotions and feelings. How to practice gratitude    “It’s time to build a life you don’t feel you have to regularly escape from.” Kim Strobel   If you enjoy this episode and it inspired you in some way, I’d love to hear about it and know your biggest takeaway.
