This is YOUR life so create one that YOU love. Stop performing and trying to impress other people. Stop trying to live up to other people’s expectations. If you’re not loving your own decisions because someone else isn’t happy with them then I’m sorry friend, but you’re not living your life — you’re living theirs. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/barbellsandbrownies/support

You Are A Priority

How many times have you spent hours or years working on something in your life, but then never sharing it with the world because you feel like it’s not good enough for whatever reason? You feel as if you’re not good enough. Can you flip this script in your head to help you take that first step towards your growth and your healing? --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/barbellsandbrownies/support

Vulnerability + Perfectionism

Every year in December I pick a new word for the upcoming year. I guess you could say it’s like my theme for the following year. So, the word that I chose for 2021 is “Peace.” Do you have a word for next year? Send me a message and tell me what it is and why you chose that word. I’d love to know! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/barbellsandbrownies/support

Peace

You have to know when to walk away and when to set a new boundary with someone. You have to know when to say, “Enough is enough. This is toxic and it’s not my weight to carry.” — And now I’m going to walk away without feeling guilty. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/barbellsandbrownies/support

Savior Complex

When you’re looking at certain situations and say I can’t do this because of whatever reason or thinking that you’ll never see your vision come to life — those are things that you’re telling your brain and your brain believes that it’s all true. Whether you think it or speak it out loud you’re still bringing those limited beliefs to life. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/barbellsandbrownies/support

Limited Beliefs

You have to believe in yourself because you won’t always have people cheering for you. You have to learn how to cheer for yourself. Stop making yourself small and timid. Stop hiding and holding yourself back just because others don’t approve of the goals that you’re setting for yourself. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/barbellsandbrownies/support

Approval

Take time to recharge your soul. It's okay to set time aside for yourself and you need to make it a requirement. The world will continue spinning while you work through things. Stop pushing yourself into overload mode and step back to reset. This is a crucial part of your journey.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/barbellsandbrownies/support

Rest

There's a big difference between responding to a situation and reacting to it. When you respond you keep a level head, process whatever is happening in a healthy way, and respond by wishing them well and moving on. You can acknowledge that whatever happened stings like a MOTHER, but you're also acknowledging that you're choosing to no longer give it anymore of your energy. When you're reacting you have crazy outbursts of your emotions vs thinking about the situation and THEN responding. That's only going to escalate things in an unhealthy way. Responding instead of reacting to a situation is a choice that you have to make. And it's something that you have to continuously work on. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/barbellsandbrownies/support

Your Peace Is More Important

Give it 30 days. Take all of the barriers off, all self-doubt, all EVERYTHING that you’ve placed on yourself and watch yourself grow. Step outside of your comfort zone for 30 days and watch your transformation happen. Then, after 30 days if you want to fall back into your comfort zone then that’s on you. That’s your choice. You’re running your life, but I can promise you that the views are so much better when you’re continuously stepping outside of your comfort zone. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/barbellsandbrownies/support

How Are You Showing Up?
