The Millennial Reset

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2159645/open_sms] As millennials that have experienced one setback after another, many of us may feel a little disheartened as we fail to achieve some of the exciting life milestones that we thought we'd have by now.  With housing costs and the cost of living in general becoming more and more out of reach, we may never achieve the same American Dream that we were sold.  But maybe our legacy isn't about success as we were raised to understand it! Maybe our legacy is making sure that the destructive patterns that were passed down to us from generations before don't get passed down to generations after us.  That's the topic of this week's episode of The Millennial Reset- what it means to break the cycle and raise the next generation based on a framework that stems from self-expression, self-worth, and what's true today, instead of what we've been conditioned for in the past.   We're joined once again by licensed clinical psychologist, Dr. Abena Berry, as we break down three important concepts: 1. Understanding how trauma gets passed down from one generation to another, oftentimes completely unconsciously. 2. Self-help techniques to begin uncovering some of the conditioning and subconscious programming that may have gone unnoticed until now. 3. How to make sure that toxic generational patterns don't get passed down to our children by effective modeling.   You can follow Dr. Berry on TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@drberrypsychologist?lang=en] and check out her new book on Amazon [https://www.amazon.com/Bold-Black-Becoming-Psychology-Thrive/dp/B0D8V93WGB/ref=sr_1_1?crid=H5UPU7ZM0HDD&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.EX3fupNM2F-fIj0pR-slfdLCcX4mLGA0QHWjOFlB-535498Yf2iJG5r1qvN-CfHFTbQ_M02wTCgEh79qLLjKhZNZZZfloSesH3Sp4Heh9Ty0XryMBKGMQukFZ2U7p7Hq6APZLIBk9Pcx7ocB99g1soKoaT9TuWvHSbLSpLmLmHeR9cdFBSM18yCuhyWBKn90U-DtdbnXQck_5ngBiSeepE3MShFt1UXZcexT3p-4ckA.lwFP_-PfiOBrplCWS2foim-hIdGMBVvSJQxjd5p1JjM&dib_tag=se&keywords=bold+black+and+becoming&qid=1728948182&sprefix=bold+black+and+%2Caps%2C517&sr=8-1].  Support the show [https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/thepeterguse?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US] visit www.themillennialreset.com/podcast [https://www.themillennialreset.com/podcast] to subscribe and listen to all episodes. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

In this week's episode of The Millennial Reset, we're joined again by one of our millennial mental health besties, Lindsey Lopez [https://www.tiktok.com/@lindseydawnlopez?lang=en], to have the real conversations around our changing relationships as we grow into our 30s.  This includes: 1. The relationships with our parents.  Depending on your relationship thus far, this might look like setting stronger boundaries or learning how to let go of resentment and forgive our parents for not knowing any better. 2. The relationships with our friends.  As we grow out of our 20s, where many of us were conditioned to compare ourselves to others and have larger friend groups, you may begin to crave deeper connections with fewer people.  This shift is one of quality over quantity.   3. The relationship with work.  After having spent so many years focused on climbing the corporate ladder, this may look different.  Either we've seen the benefits of this, and decide that the effort is worth the reward.  Or, we might start climbing back down that corporate ladder so that we can finally focus on our own dreams and goals and build a stronger identity outside of a job title. 4. The relationship with ourselves.  Nothing changes until you change.  That change can feel extremely uncomfortable since it goes against everything you were taught and learned so far. As we continue to take the scary steps to get back in touch with our authentic self, one of the most important parts of this healing journey is how we treat ourselves.   Join us, as we have the conversation out loud that so many tired millennials are having to themselves.  Looking for that next level of support in your healing journey?  Join the 30-day Millennial Mindset Challenge [https://millennialmindsetmakeover.systeme.io/course]!  Support the show [https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/thepeterguse?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US] visit www.themillennialreset.com/podcast [https://www.themillennialreset.com/podcast] to subscribe and listen to all episodes. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Rest.  And then rest more.  The complete and utter exhaustion that comes with burnout recovery is actually expected (and not a bad thing).  It means that your body is finally entering into parasympathetic healing mode, where your immune system and physiological processes begin to return to homeostatis, which takes time!  Rather than getting caught up in your thoughts that tell you that you're lazy or too unproductive, just allow yourself to rest without guilt and shame!  2. Start with Intentions (instead of goals).  Goals tend to create more added pressure that can cause us to slip back into fight or flight. When we start with intentions, or how you want to FEEL, we can begin to make decisions based on emotions instead of thoughts.  You can always start with the goal, but then ask yourself "why" five times to start getting down to the root emotion.  3. Gift Yourself with Emotional Experiences. Once you identify your desired emotion, it's up to you to start giving your brain the experiences to realize that emotion time and time again.  When you create your desired emotion internally, this has a profound impact on the resulting thoughts and actions.  Rather than trying to change our THOUGHTS, which requires incredible self-discipline, we can simply give ourselves experiences that make us feel the way we want to feel, so that our brain becomes more and more wired for that feeling and the associated mindset.   If you're looking for that added extra level of support, check out my 30-day Millennial Mindset Makeover Challenge [https://millennialmindsetmakeover.systeme.io/course]!  Support the show [https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/thepeterguse?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US] visit www.themillennialreset.com/podcast [https://www.themillennialreset.com/podcast] to subscribe and listen to all episodes. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

If just the thought of these questions gives you anxiety, then you're not alone.  When I realized that I had gone from burnout to complete identity crisis, I had NO clue what was next for me in life.  And while I'm still a work in progress myself, the best thing I ever did for myself is to give myself permission to explore the other options that didn't even exist 20 years ago when I decided on my career path in the first place!   This is the topic this week on The Millennial Reset, with Kali Wolken (therapist turned career coach for millennials).  We discuss: * 😨 The fears and narratives that keep us stuck in our comfort zones, including the narrative that tells us it's too late and too expensive to change directions. * 🗺️ Low-risk ways to explore new and old passions that could lead to new or alternative career paths. * 🔑 Tips for how to start small, without quitting your job or diving in head first.  Join us, as we learn to redefine what the future may hold for us and reframe our identities around work and careers.  You can find out more about Kali and her coaching program at https://mycareercoach.online [https://mycareercoach.online/].  Support the show [https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/thepeterguse?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US] visit www.themillennialreset.com/podcast [https://www.themillennialreset.com/podcast] to subscribe and listen to all episodes. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Understand the concept of source vs. resource.  In other words, becoming fully aware of the age-old adage of "put your mask on first before assisting others". 2. Shift the internal narratives around "rest".  Most of us were told growing up that "rest is lazy", which created the conditioning that keeps us all addicted to stress. So, we talk about how to shift the narrative from "rest is lazy" to "rest is productive" and giving yourself opportunities to prove that this is true to your brain that is always trying to seek out evidence of what you tell it. 3. Talk to yourself like you'd talk to your best friend. The way that we speak to ourselves (whether out loud or in our own head) has a drastic impact on how our brain becomes wired over time.  When you start speaking to yourself with more compassion and grace, you begin creating a sense of safety for your nervous system from the inside out!  Check out the full episode and start creating new habits and routines that work for YOU!  If you're looking for that added extra level of support, check out my 30-day Millennial Mindset Makeover Challenge [https://millennialmindsetmakeover.systeme.io/course]!  Support the show [https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/thepeterguse?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US] visit www.themillennialreset.com/podcast [https://www.themillennialreset.com/podcast] to subscribe and listen to all episodes. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
