In this episode, I’m sharing what I know to be true about saying what we want and having the courage to do it… knowing better is NOT enough! You can know all day long, but if you keep knowing, and never do, you’ll keep going in circles. So how do you actually go from knowing better to doing better, you ask? I have 3 key ways to help you walk the talk: 3 Keys to go from Knowing to Doing Better Prioritize Your Priorities - this means making time to list out all the things you think you need to do, and then prioritize them. You have to remember that everything that's important isn't always essential... figure out what that is for you. Get Accountability Partners - this means finding like minded and like hearted people who will hold you accountable when you can't do it yourself. It also means getting vulnerable enough to seek and ask for help. You can find some right in my Flow and Flourish community on Facebook! Practice Self-Care - this is an inside job. Yes, get the mani/pedi and massage, but it also means being honest with yourself and pausing long enough to identify what you want/need in this season, and aligning your actions to your values and goals.

Having all that responsibility can leave you overwhelmed and depleted if you don’t take inventory of where you’re at on a regular basis.

In this episode, I share not only my personal struggle with forgiving myself, I also give you information on how not forgiving yourself impacts your capacity, the benefits of forgiveness and of course, tips to help you on your personal journey by telling you how to start this process. How Forgiveness Impacts Capacity Takes up your mental capacity Keeps you in the guilt and shame spiral Causes anxiety and depression Keeps you stuck and Prolongs your healing journey The Benefits of Forgiving Yourself Higher levels of success Healthier relationships Increased productivity and focus Rebuilds self trust, confidence and self-esteem Better physical, mental and emotional health How to Start Forgiving Yourself Acknowledge the situation/mistake Use it as a learning experience Give yourself permission to move forward After you’ve listened, I invite you to connect with us on social media.

Having all that responsibility can leave you overwhelmed and depleted if you don’t take inventory of where you’re at on a regular basis. Healing is one of those new buzz words, like work-life balance… but it’s necessary for both personal and professional success. And healing from trauma specifically, is especially necessary. Many of us are walking around with unhealed trauma and don’t even realize how its affecting our relationships, energy and money. That’s exactly why in today’s episode, I talk with licensed psychologist, Dr. Lauren Smith. She is helping us and the communities around her do the work to heal from trauma. As a clinical psychologist, her expertise is in trauma-informed services, and she uses it at her consulting firm, Creating Healing Interventions (C.H.I.) and throughout the community to equip people with the knowledge to support healing and wellness within themselves and others. In this episode, Lauren shares the definition of trauma, how trauma shows up, reasons why we don’t seek help, and ways to find the help you need. Examples of Trauma: Hearing traumatic stories Bullying Covid19 Domestic Violence Tips to Find the Help you Need: Interview your providers Do your research for cultural fit Check their reviews Take the lead in your health After you’ve listened, I invite you to connect with us on social media.

Many of us are either in corporate, an entrepreneur of a combination of the two, on top of being moms, wives, caregivers, big sister’s or just the go-to person in our circles of friends and families. Having all that responsibility can leave you overwhelmed and depleted if you don’t take inventory of where you’re at on a regular basis. Have you ever had back to back changes in your personal and professional life? Did you power through the changes because that’s what you’re used to doing? Of course you have! I asked those questions because on the other side of those changes, many of us struggle with something called identity loss, but we don’t exactly call it that. Identity loss happens when you experience dramatic life changes such as losing social relationships (think pandemic/isolation and losing loved ones), losing a job (again, pandemic) and in general when you lose your sense of self and self-with due to all the changes. In today’s episode, I talk with Sandra Ocasio about her experience with identity loss. After moving from Las Vegas to a small town in Florida in 2016 due to her husband’s role in the military, Sandra thought she was losing her mind but she really lost her identity. She goes in to detail to help us understand: What identity loss looks and feels like Some of the triggers or symptoms How to reclaim your identity She graciously shares what she calls the S.T.E.P.U.P. Method and how she used it to rebuild her life as a Digital Launch Coach who now helps coaches launch five and six figure coaching programs. STEP UP Method: S - Self Awareness T - Therapy for Trauma E - Expand your Mindset P - Personal Development U - Upgrade your Vision P - Pursue Purpose w/Unshakable Passion After you’ve listened, I invite you to connect with us on social media.

EP 63 - The Cost of Freedom 54:03

Welcome to the Flow and Flourish Podcast. This is what I like to call a “sister-friend” community, which is the safe space to talk openly and honestly about the challenges we face while managing the competing priorities between our personal and professional lives. Many of us are either in corporate, an entrepreneur of a combination of the two, on top of being moms, wives, caregivers, big sister’s or just the go-to person in our circles of friends and families. Having all that responsibility can leave you overwhelmed and depleted if you don’t take inventory of where you’re at on a regular basis. Free your mind and you a#$ will follow… (I didn’t say it, EnVogue did!), but you know it’s the truth. Too many of us are running around with what I call “secret struggles”, and battling shame, guilt, low confidence or a combination of them all, when it comes to our past. Whether or we know it or not, unaddressed guilt, shame and trauma can take a toll on our mental, physical, and emotional health, our relationships and our finances… aka take up our capacity and block us from being able to flow and flourish. That’s exactly why in today’s episode, I talk with Healing Coach, Latoya Mathews, who after years of dealing with shame and guilt, rediscovered the hope and freedom that she now helps other women accept and treasure. Like the other episodes, get your pen and paper ready because she shares with us her 5 Pillars of Freedom, designed to help you heal, overcome self-doubt, release strongholds, and experience deep freedom from your deepest valleys. 5 Pillars of Freedom Peace Making Pattern Breaking, Personal Identity Permission to Dream Power of Habits She also gives 4 tips to start your healing journey today: Healing Journey Tips: Change your perspective Give yourself permission to change Be willing to change Get in some fresh soil Listen to the episode to get the details on her story, her healing and how she’s helping women all over the world do the same thing and get free! After you’ve listened, I invite you to connect with us on social media. We love to hear how this is helping you, so make sure you tag me on Facebook or Instagram with your favorite takeaway from the episode. As a Capacity Coach, my philosophy is that when you flow effortlessly, you flourish tremendously. And when you do, it allows you to show up in excellence in all the areas of your life. Because I’ve been in your shoes, I am excited to be your guide on this journey. My promise is to help you increase your capacity by creating balance between your personal and professional life, without ever having to sacrifice yourself, your family, and what matters most to you!
