Girl Versus World

In this episode, I talk about the inner child. A recent discover in therapy has lead me to uncovering my inner child and figuring out what she wants so that I can give those things to her instead of seeking them out in the outside world. This is a personal journey that I'm on that I wanted to share with you all today in hopes that you can find a bit of this information useful in your own life...

I heard this recently and I had to share it: Happiness comes from solving problems. The goal should be to find the problems you enjoy having and enjoy solving. Often times we have incorrectly channeled this into trying to find people with problems and solving those. Jumping at the chance to save someone from themselves. That isn't really how this works. I dive into what this means and how to...

Forgiveness is part of the process of healing. We are told to forgive and accept, but how do you forgive someone who isn't sorry for what they did? This is the question I tackle on today's episode. How can we forgive a person who is not sorry for what they did to us? This can be one of the hardest things to battle when you are on your healing journey. We don't always get the apologi...

Relationships are a learning experience. I've certainly learned a lot from each and every one that I've had. Right now I'm in a space of figuring out how I can use everything I've learned to make better decisions in the future. I want a partner who comes to me whole and looking for the same things as me. In this episode, I talk through what has been my process and how I'm...

I took a hiatus after my personal life became a little nuts. I've recorded this update episode so many different times now and haven't posted it. I've been giving myself the time and space to heal before recording and posting. So here I am, here's an update and where I'm headed with myself. I'd like to think that'll I will have the space to continue weekly episod...

Natasha is a love and life coach who guides Alpha Females into designing the life they want with grace and ease, so they can attract what their heart desires in both career and love.

***Trigger warning - Narcissistic Abuse & PTSD *** This episode may be triggering for some. Please prioritize your mental health and if this episode even remotely sounds like it might trigger you, avoid it.  Phew, this is a tough one. I'm going to divulge something I have not shared before on the podcast. In fact, much of this I haven't shared with many folks at all. I recorded this...

Let's face it, we are not going to agree with everyone. Even if we do our very best to surround ourselves with people we do find agreeable, we will still come across people in our lives that we do not agree with or share the same values. I think we experienced this a great deal during the pandemic and even the Trump presidency. We saw A LOT of conflict between groups of people who did not agr...

Today, I'm trying something new. Actually, I've been trying a lot of new things lately. Stepping outside of the ol comfort zone. I've found that this is where I experience the most growth so why the heck not. Today I'm going to chat about how trying new things can actually enhance your life, as scary as it may seem at first to try. Join me as I venture into trying new platforms...

It's the end of an era - by that I mean I'm moving out of the apartment I've lived in for the last few years. It has me feeling all sorts of feels. So I decided to share those candidly with you all.

So you fancy yourself a great communicator? Maybe that's been an area of your life you've had to work really hard on - communication. I come from a background of codependency where communicating my own needs has been a downright struggle. So you've worked really hard to learn how to communicate and you find yourself a new partner and you communicate til your blue in the face. What&a...

Do you self persecute? Do you have a tendency to make yourself out to be the bad guy in virtually ever scenario? Maybe you've gone through a breakup and you're sitting around just blaming yourself.

Happy New Year! We are back with a new season of Girl Versus World. In this episode we are going to talk about setting our intention for the year. Instead of setting a resolution that adds to your ever growing to do list - we are going to set an intention to "say no" to something or "let something go". I intend to make 2022 a year of letting things go and make ourselves lighter...

Dating apps quite frankly, suck sometimes. If you've been on them for any length of time, you know what I'm talking about. It's frustrating. There's a lot of ghosting, fake profiles and if you're not down with the hookup culture, you're probably gonna have a bad time. So if you're like me and you work from home and struggle to meet people, then apps are the neces...

Mental heath check? How are you doing? As for me, I took a few months off to get my mind right. After receiving some urging from my therapist, I decided to take a break from lots of things and just focus on my mental health. I started an intensive codependency group therapy regimin to start the healing process from my past relationships while helping me make sure I speak up for my own wants and ne...

This one is a doozy! You see, in life, many of us are taught that we are powerless. Why? I haven't quite figured out when this became the way to get people to change but it's used in many religions and programs. In order to be healed one must first admit they are powerless. There ARE times in our life where we feel powerless and it's sometimes a good thing to admit it. This is all f...

Falling in love with a narcissist is intoxicating. They spend a lot of time mirroring the best parts of yourself back to you. You're actually falling in love with many of your own great qualities that you likely have a hard time seeing in yourself. The narcissist spends a lot of time learning what makes you tick and where they can insert themselves and do the most damage. Once you are hooked,...

I realized this week that sometimes happiness can hurt. You can probably relate to this if you've had a tough life. A person can get used to being stepped on and walked over in their life. So much so that when things start to actually happen for the better, it leaves them with a feeling like the other shoe is about to drop. A sense of impending doom even. Other times you might start to feel p...

This is a question that came up recently - Are photo filters ruining our self esteem? We see them being used on virtually every social media outlet. Sometimes we know for sure someone is using a filter and other times maybe it's photo shop or real life. It used to be that we knew that magazines and print were all photoshopped to some degree and we were okay with that. But now, it's getti...

Every single person is going through something or has gone through something that has brought them to their breaking point one way or another. We sometimes get this idea in our heads that other people are perfect. I hate to break it to you but they are not. Nobody is perfect. Not a single person out there. So to compare ourselves to other imperfect beings is futile. If we go into this world with t...

I didn't learn this until much later in life that you have to invest time in self discovery. Nobody really teaches us this, it's something we learn in adulthood. But how does one go about actually finding themselves? Go on a walkabout? Have an Eat Pray Love experience? Give up everything and start over? Sure, you could do those things if you want - for some of us self discovery is more e...

Starting over gets a bad reputation. Often times people see starting over as a failure. What if you could actually look at starting over as a success? I've had to start over several times in my life and each time I've had to reset my life, it's gotten better and better. Instead of starting over from scratch, I've started over with experience and THAT is what has made all the di...

Are you having trouble focusing? Do you find yourself picking up your phone in-between tasks or while you are just sitting around doing nothing? Maybe it's the only think you can really focus on for hours at a time. It's time for a reality check - you might be suffering from a social media addiction, fomo or even some social media related depression that you keep feeding the longer you s...
