How To Move On From the Yucky Stuff And Feel More Happy EP#062

Podcast

This week we are talking about how to get yourself through the yucky stuff so you can feel more happy. If you are like me, your inner critic berates you for every screw up and misstep. One mistake and you can spiral into a judgemental dark place identifying with your screw up. Today's episode is to get you to remember that how you react to things and support yourself through the tough stuff is a choice. I want to encourage you to be a good friend to yourself in the rough stuff, and help yourself out of that yucky stuff with self compassion, understanding and care.

Who Or What Has The Power Over Your Happiness Level EP#059

Podcast

Today's episode is discussing who has control over your happiness level? I think happiness is a decision you make daily. If you don't know what your happiness looks like then how can you focus on it and make decisions to increase it? What you focus on expands. What are you focusing on? Sometimes we need to slow down and figure out what our happiness looks like, even if its just the first small step, so we can focus on that.

Living Your One True Authentic Life – Interview With Cindy Stradling EP#053
