Raise Your Vibe Tribe Podcast Rachael Ebeling

Come with me as I journey from Brighton Station to London and back for my brain MRI scan. In this episode I recount my experiences, feelings and anxieties, plus I fill you in on a rather embarrassing situation at London Victoria. ♡

As part of Mental Health Awareness week I am dedicating this space to self-care for your mental health. In this episode I talk openly about my own mental health struggles and mental health illness. I discuss how I used self-care, alongside other intervention over the last decade to support my wellbeing and overall quality of life. I share plenty of self-care tips and deep chats. If you think you already have good subject knowledge about self-care, give this a listen as I dig a little deeper. ♡

Do you try to wear too many hats? Are you feeling like you’re doing too much and being pulled in too many directions? Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed and burnt out from wearing the different hats of roles, responsibilities and power. Why do we put so much pressure on ourselves to be a ‘perfect’ people pleaser? Why do we feel shame in asking for help, so instead take everything on ourselves, then feel annoyed that we have no help? If this is all resonating then you need to give this episode a listen! ♡

In this episode I discuss what toxic positivity is and how it can be damaging. I look at why toxic positivity prevents us from the growth that we need as humans. I talk about my toxic positivity journey and how self-care helped pave the way for me to be ok with feeling all my feelings. ♡

In this episode I dive into self-care using one of the four elements of nature, water. I discuss thought showers as a daily self-care strategy to connect with yourself, find inspiration, sit with and release emotions. I talk about how to deeply connect with yourself using the sea, the river and the rain plus much more. I discuss cold water swimming and cold plunging, but please note these are only my personal experiences and I am not a medical professional. Please seek support and guidance from a medical professional if you are living with chronic illness, have underlying medical conditions or living in fight/flight/survival mode. I also reflect back on some of those core water memories we might’ve had as a child and how they can positively impact our self-care practice when we re-connect with them. ♡

The usual weekly rants & bants plus a very raw & honest deep chat where I discuss my personal current struggle with burnout. I touch on some of the differences between stress & burnout while shining a light on chronic illness burnout (CIB). I also share some tips on how to manage when you’re feeling that struggle. ♡
