    Lay It On Me 006: Living with Anxiety and Learning to Embrace the Unknown

    In this episode, we dive into the experience of living with anxiety—not as something to fix, but as something to understand and accept. Anxiety often brings with it a sense of uncertainty and fear of the unknown, but what if we could learn to sit with it? I talk about how ruminating and overthinking are common experiences within anxiety, and how our minds can often work overtime, keeping us stuck in spirals of worry. But there’s a powerful tool to interrupt this cycle—checking in with our bodies. By connecting to our physical sensations, we can ground ourselves in the present moment and shift out of the mental noise. It’s not about having all the answers or finding an instant fix, but about learning to live with the uncertainty and finding peace in the process. Together, we’ll explore how naming anxiety, accepting it, and allowing ourselves to be in the flow of it can open up new possibilities for personal growth and connection. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the unknown or trapped in your thoughts, this episode is for you.

    Lay It On Me 005: Redefining Consistency - Discipline, Grace, and Showing Up My Way

    This week, I’m diving into the topic of consistency—what it actually looks like for me, how it’s evolved, and why the way I show up matters more to me than when I do. I talk about fear, grace, discipline, and what happens when the flow slows down. Sometimes showing up means hitting record even when you don’t feel like it. Sometimes it means taking a break so you can return with the energy you want to bring. This episode is me doing both. Thanks for listening. As always—whatever you’re carrying, you don’t have to carry it alone - Lay it on me.

    Lay It On Me 003: Carrying The Weight Grief

    Grief. The big one. Let's talk about it. Grief is not linear. It’s messy, unpredictable, and deeply personal. In this episode, I reflect on my own experiences with loss—the ways grief has shaped me, the lessons it has taught me, and how I’ve learned to carry it. Whether you’re in the thick of it, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about how grief weaves itself into our lives, I hope this conversation resonates with you. ✨ If this episode spoke to you, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Let’s keep the conversation going. #Grief #Healing #Loss #Growth #SelfReflection #MentalHealth Music: Holding You by Prigida  from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/prigida/holding-you License code: JCOBVD3QS6P2YA0L
