Emotions are Our Teacher Not Enemy!

I have spent a very long time fighting with my emotions. For many of us who struggle with our emotions or mental health our feelings have turned into something that we are in constant battle with. Every time an uncomfortable emotion comes up our first instinct is how can I get rid of this. Emotions are NOT our enemy, however, they are there to tell us something about the world. As we begin to tune into our emotions we can then learn and understand more of what our body is trying to tell us and access our deeply unique and authentic selves.

Transitioning To A PsyD Program (With Anxiety)

In todays episode I share my journey of leaving my hometown of 22 years to begin working on my PsyD. I share some of the challenges I faced (and continue to face) throughout this transition as well as some of the tools I have used to help. This is not an episode where I claim to have all the answers. As a matter of fact, as I begin this new chapter of my life I have many more questions than I do answers. This is simply an episode where I share my human experience and what it is like for me navigating this transition as well as some choices I have made because of it. If you are beginning a new period of your life I would give this a listen, you will see that you are NOT alone and that ultimately we are all just trying to figure it out.
