    BEST MOMENTS
    “You have to take charge of your life, and that is by taking charge of your thoughts and your mind.” 
    “We are our own best healers. There is no one or nothing outside of us that has more power than we actually do over ourselves inside.” 
    “You can actually override your subconscious programming and beliefs and all that negativity just by reiterating and teaching the mind by repetition every day.” 
    “We choose new beliefs, we choose new ideas, and we just keep teaching the subconscious mind. And the beauty of the subconscious mind is that once it accepts an idea, it just goes to work on making it happen.” 
    “You also have to be practicing mindfulness and living in the moment because that is where all your power is. You're noticing in the moment that things are working out for you. If you're noticing that things are moving forward, if you're noticing that you're seeing even the smallest shift, if it's positive, the more you notice that, the more energy you put on that, the more it's going to happen for you.”

    "Beautiful self-validation is priceless. It's about recognizing your inner beauty, worth, and value."
    "When you look good, don't wait for somebody else to give you a compliment. Compliment yourself. Tell yourself, 'You look good,' because that is sustainable self-love."

    Practical Strategies For Setting Boundaries With Jeanine Hansell-Frimpong

    Practical Strategies For Setting Boundaries With Jeanine Hansell-Frimpong

    Have you ever felt like you're constantly giving, but never getting anything back? Maybe you pour your energy into others, but your own needs get pushed aside. If this sounds familiar, you might be struggling with boundaries. 
    Our guest, Jeanine Hansell-Frimpong, a therapist turned entrepreneur and the host of the Getting Rooted podcast, knows all too well the transformative power of boundaries. She'll share her own journey of reclaiming her truth and embracing her destiny, and how setting boundaries played a crucial role.  But more importantly,  Jeanine will equip you with practical tools to start setting boundaries yourself, even if it feels scary or uncomfortable.
    Ready to stop feeling drained and finally prioritize your own well-being? Tune in now!
    KEY TAKEAWAYS
    Why setting boundaries is the missing key to unlocking your healing journeyHow to identify your needs and start saying "no" without guiltSimple strategies to build your confidence and establish healthy boundariesPractical tips for navigating challenging situations and setting boundaries with loved ones
    BEST MOMENTS
    "Trauma is really this. This idea of experiencing something that has shifted how you operate in your life, right? And it could be something small or it could be something big."
    "We can't let people trespass our yard. And our yard is our space, our body. It could be what we can see in front of us. But it also could be our mental yard of not allowing people to trespass in those spaces by telling us things, saying things to us that are harmful, that impacts us."
    "Boundaries don't have to be a bad thing. It doesn't have to be like, you're mean or nasty, but really understanding what feels right for you."
    "And I think just, even what you just said is recognizing what a boundary even is. So, in saying, okay, if you can't make it, let me know 48 hours in advance, or give me a call if so and so is going to happen, or those are boundaries because you're letting people know. It's almost like, I guess, another way to look at it. They're kind of rules."

You'll also hear about her innovative use of cannabis in her cooking, not just to get high, but to unlock a world of unique flavors and medicinal benefits (featured on Netflix's Cooked with Cannabis!).

    “Some of us are super, have lots of raw talent, but we might not have the resources. Like, there are just so many things that might take us from being able to perform at our best.”
    “We have options. It's just a matter of being available to that.”
    “I get more travel folks come in because that actually was probably one of my favorite things, really, about moving out here were the types of people who come here to visit and have a cannabis experience.” 
    “I've always said that, you know, when you go to different places, it's good to recognize that we're more the same than we are different. But it's also important to celebrate the differences. Yeah. Because somewhere, like, where they meet is where the magic happens.”

    Good Girl Syndrome Part Two - Break Free From People Pleasing!

    Good Girl Syndrome Part Two - Break Free From People Pleasing!

    In our last episode, we tackled perfectionism, procrastination, and fear of failure - the hallmarks of Good Girl Syndrome. Today, we're diving deeper into another core aspect: people pleasing.
    We will talk about how pleasing people, a sneaky part of Good Girl Syndrome, holds us back.  We explore its roots in childhood and societal messages, and how it can turn into codependency. We'll also unveil your hidden strengths (generosity, empathy, resourcefulness!) and show you how to harness them for an authentic you. We will share simple tips like self-care mantras and small, solo adventures can disrupt the people-pleasing cycle.
    Want to ditch the good girl act and create a life you love?  Join my Good Girl Syndrome Slayer beta program! Let's chat and see if it's a fit.

    BEST MOMENTS
    "The key is to really start disrupting the patterns that continue to happen over time." 
    “Our beliefs that were serving us at some point, or that we just developed because of certain things that happen to us in life that are just not serving us any longer.” 
    "I had to have the courage to be disliked and just understanding that I would lose the closeness that I wanted." 
    "People pleasing usually starts out in childhood. This can be a cultural or a societal thing, as little girls should be pleasing and polite, seen and not heard." 
    "We want to be accepted, we want to belong. And then if you've grown up in a dysfunctional family, sometimes people pleasing could easily have been a survival mechanism." 
    "I can't fix anyone. I can't change anyone. The only person I can fix is me." 
    "When I realized that my relationship to myself changed for the better and I stopped seeking out fixer uppers..." 
    "You can be all of those things at the same time and still be a people pleaser." 
    "I exist to please myself. I choose to please others if and when it pleases me." 
    "Each small change that you implement adds up, like compound interest."

    BEST MOMENTS
    ”Embodiment practices are different entry points to going into our inner landscape.”
    “Sometimes in the stillness is where you start to feel things because you're slowing everything down so you can actually feel something.”
    "If we stay in the fixed mindset... you don't know what you're missing. But once you get into that growth mindset and everything is possible and curiosity is there and it's like, oh, wow. You get to start viewing things from a completely different perspective."
    "When we get together as women and do wild women's circles or we do breath work, or we do things as a group, or we do things to prepare food for people who need food, making quilting, making stuff for our children, these kind of things, there's a certain calmness that comes back to women's systems just because of our genetics and how we've been built in a woman's body."
