    One Year Later

    Hello - it's your messy friend 3 I have been off healing my heart for a little over a year. Today I share what brought me back to this podcast, what took me away from it, and why doing things just because you like to is such a worthwhile endeavor. I'm aiming to release weekly episodes from here on out - talk soon and take care, friends, and as always... thank you for being here :)

    24: I Think That You Found Yourself a Cheerleader!

    Hi my loves, Today I'm coming at you live from the comfort of my bed, a little hungover after a fun night out with friends! I use being hungover as an example of how we can rewrite our narratives and break patterns when negative feelings, like shame, come up. When we start being present in our lives, we can notice these patterns. When we notice the pattern, we can intervene. When we intervene, we are caring for ourselves and building a relationship with ourselves. It's awesome! I empower you to step in and be your own cheerleader. 10/10 recommendation: immediately after finishing this episode, listen to "Cheerleader" by Omi and dance to it/sing it to yourself. "Oh I think that I found myself a cheerleader!" :) xoxo YMF

    23: Your Messy Friend Dares You to Accept & Let Go

    Hello my messy friends :) I am back from an unintentional hiatus. This episode is mostly a recap of the last few weeks with some life lesson-themes sprinkled in. I talk about how flying challenged me to trust myself and the evidence that negated the old, anxiety-driven stories I was telling myself. I also share about how the Universe has repeatedly forced me into focusing on what I can control, and letting go of the rest.  As always, I am grateful to you for listening and self conscious that this is a tangent with no through-line. HOWEVER - the evidence (you returning week after week, listening back to confirm, etc) would conclude that these episodes are generally very cohesive and that you enjoy them. So, that is the story I will be telling myself as I post this and start watching The Bear right after (have you seen it yet?? I'm excited!) xoxo Your Messy Friend :)

    22: There's So Much I Can't Do (alt title: The Train to Burnout City)

    Hello my messy, exhausted, saucy, wonderful friends 3 In this episode, we consider the validity of the concept that there's nothing we can't do.... in a world that is totally out of our control (even if Tampax Pearl might argue otherwise). I share that I feel there is, in fact, SO MUCH I can't do, and what a relief it is to just accept that. I also illustrate my experience of burnout, known as the Burnout train to Burnout city (where I meet a judgmental judge who judges me for being there in the first place. Oh yeah. We lean way the hell in.) As always, I hope something I've said resonates with you. If so, the next time YOU have reached burnout city, I hope you'll consider throwing a big tantrum, declaring how tired you are and simply quitting for the time being. You are worthy of that moment; go claim it. Thank you so much for listening. Talk to you next time. xoxo YMF :)

    19: Do You Have Boundaries with Yourself?

    Hello my beloved messy friends :) In today's episode, you get a good look at my inner critic. I process that in real time and share my thoughts on having boundaries with ourselves, taking action to support our #bestlife and how gratitude can turn a moment, day, life around.
