I Care About You

What is self-betrayal? How does it harm you? How does it affect your work happiness? How does it affect your relationships?  What can you do about it? We all experience saying yes to things we don't want to do. When is that kindness, and when is it self-betrayal?   How has toxic work culture benefited from our self-betrayal habits?  Find out the answers and some ways to avoid b...

Self-judgment, shame, and self-hatred all play a role in the inability to love ourselves.  How do we change our opinions of ourselves when we have done something wrong? How do we stop judging ourselves when we screw up? How do we end the self-deprecating dialog that goes on in our heads every day?  What if we have done something really bad? How do we forgive ourselves? Heal yourself, and...

Today we are following up on Overcoming Shame - The journey to self-compassion part 1 with part 2: Self Hatred Hurts. Do you hate parts of yourself? Sometimes the parts of you that you can't change and parts that are hard to change can lead to a pattern of negative self-talk. Negative self-talk can work its way into hating yourself or parts of yourself.  Today we discuss what that is like, ho...

Shame. We all have it about one thing or another. We threw up in 3rd-grade math class once. We made a fool of ourselves at a company party. We don't measure up to our parent's expectations. We lost our job or didn't get the job we interviewed for. We were reprimanded at work or didn't get a raise or promotion. The list goes on and on. Today we discuss shame and how to turn it into compassion for o...

When are good intentions not good?  Today we talk about Toxic Positivity and how these seemingly innocuous platitudes can shut down a conversation. How they stand in the way of people getting help and being heard. Saying things like, "remember the glass is half full," or "you are being a baby; in my day, it was much harder," or "we've all been through this. You aren't special" can stop us fro...

***ALERT! THIS EPISODE MAY BE TRIGGERING TO SOME*** Hi All, Today we are talking about trusting yourself.

Hi All, First, I want to acknowledge that I really need to work on my relationship with my hair. That became apparent as I edited this video. Now, when I talk about looks, I am not saying that you can't wear makeup, brush your hair, or try to look nice. I am not saying that we shouldn't want to look nice or have good hygiene. Obviously, there is biology involved in wanting to look good. It does pl...

What do I like to do? I tell you my journey to figuring out what self-care for the soul is for me and how I define it.  @youdontownmepodcast  Music by  @TrackTribe
