Working Through the Feelings of Healing

I'm back! It feels so good to be back with you and bringing you another episode. Sometimes in life you have to push things to the back burner. I give a great example of how I like to think about priorities because we can't do it all - and that's okay!! In this episode I chat about the feelings i've had going through healing and my mental health journey. I let you into my brain with me trying to pinpoint why feelings of happy, letting go of my wounds, and success makes me feel weird. I don't know my personality without my mental health struggles. That's not my personality though so time to build some new neuropathways and switch the mindshift. I would love to hear if you relate to anything in this episode or just to chat with you on my Instagram - @jenn264

He answers some questions and gives some advice to ones supporting a loved one through mental health.

Monday Vulnerable Thoughts - Accept your own compassion

Random vulnerable thoughts on this Monday afternoon. The beauty of being able to decide how and when you show up. Motherhood and life is HARD and you aren't alone. I have been incredibly overwhelmed and hard on myself these past couple weeks. I want you to know that whatever season you are in, your feelings are valid. My challenge to you is to accept compassion and empathy for yourself. Give yourself the same grace and advice you would give to someone else. You deserve that! Thank you for being here! Also feel free to reach out to chat on Instagram @jenn264
