Mothering Anxiety

Setting Boundaries was something that I just learned was a possibility. I did not know that setting boundaries was something that was necessary to maintain a stable Mental Health for me. Being able to set boundaries with certain people has helped make sure that I can keep control of my life and has taught me that saying "No," should not make me feel guilty.  Take a listen as I talk about some boun...

Call me an avid over thinker over here! Honestly though, I feel that all of us who deal with Anxiety are just automatically over thinkers. I can definitely over think myself into a bad mood every day if I truly let myself. Can you? There are times where my overthinking takes me to a world of impossible and it is extremely hard to get myself back into reality. I know that this is part of me "surviv...

After hearing that Eminem was going to be performing at the 2022 Super Bowl Halftime Show, I went through a moment of binge listening to all of his music. I remember him at being the GOAT of cleaning out his closet, not holding back on anything he wanted to say about anyone really and truly just putting out his true feelings out for the world to hear. I thought to myself. . . how therapeutic must...

This past week leading up to Mother's Day was very triggering to me. There were many emotions and feelings that were brought up that I had to figure out why I was still letting it bother me. I decided to record an episode simply on what was running through my mind this week. I realized that I have had to figure out how to Mother without a Mother. I have had to figure out how to do better and be be...

Nobody wants to have a Bad Day but unfortunately we can't stop them from coming. Sometimes we are anxious about an upcoming event, we were triggered by something, or some days your body just needs a reset day.  I have learned a few tips and tricks along the way that help me be as functional as I can when these Bad Days hit. I am a Mom and a Wife and I have people that rely on me so laying in...

In honor of my 8 year wedding anniversary, I decided to record an episode about my Marriage and a few of the struggles we've had to deal with along the way. We have been through what feels like hell and back but I can say that it was the Acceptance that we were both different, the acceptance that we both processed things differently, the acceptance that we had trauma we had to heal from (& nei...

It has taken me a really long time to accept that I was in a relationship that was not good for me.  For so long, I was angry at myself for allowing myself to go through so much, to allow someone to treat me like garbage. It wasn’t until recently that I realized, the only reason I let it happen was because that “love” felt familiar to me.  Take a listen as I talk about my Toxic Relations...

I knew that Healing would mean that I would feel some pain from time to time but I never realized how LONELY it can feel. Sure, one could argue "Well, you cut everyone out, what do you expect?" But it goes beyond that. It's lonely because everyone processes everything differently. We all process our Traumas very uniquely. So even if someone went through something similar to you, the way they proce...

Am I the only one who freaks out every time they have to go to the Doctor?  Ever since I could remember, I despised going to the Doctor because I was always afraid that they were going to tell me that I was going to die right then and there. My “fear” was always dismissed as me being a “scaredy cat” but as I’ve gotten older and especially most recently, a NP said, “I think you have White Coat...

Since embarking on this Self Healing Journey, I have had to accept that fact that there are people talking about me in good ways or even in bad ways which is the one that makes my Anxiety tingle. I am doing things that are unspoken of, I am cutting ties, setting boundaries, and trying to pave my own way that is unfortunately going to make those that don't agree form a specific opinion of me that I...

When I first started this Podcast, I wanted to record something that was raw and honest about dealing with Anxiety and how it can impact every aspect of your life. As I continued to record more episode and going through more things in my life, I started to realize where my Anxiety steamed from. A lot of it came from the people around me, a lot of it came from unhealed trauma that was resurfacing,...

What is your Inner Child? How do I connect with my Inner Child? Is there a way to heal my Inner Child? Take a listen as I finally dig in to talking about Healing Your Inner Child. Now, I do not feel that I am the best person to be speaking about this because this whole concept is fairly new to me and something that I am learning but it is something that I want to introduce to those of us on the Se...

As a recovering People Pleaser, setting boundaries, saying no, cutting ties with people is hard to do without feeling guilty.  I often question if I’ve done the right thing and if doing so only makes me as bad as the people that are harming my inner peace. I have spent the last two years trying to discover what brings me peace and now that I’ve done so, I’ve had to work on not feeling guilty...

Well, I sure did and that’s exactly what I went to go do.  Take a listen as I talk about my experience at a Rage Room at Break Room LA and what it did for my Anxiety and all the rage I had been feeling inside.  Break Room LA is located in Van Nuys, CA.

I have been trying to figure out why my Social Anxiety has gotten worse.  Maybe it’s because I’ve been a Stay At Home Mom for 4 years and I don’t have conversations with adults anymore, maybe it’s me being more selective with the people that get my energy, or maybe it’s that I was never allowed to be myself growing up that now I’m going through an identity crisis and don’t know who is the rea...

Admitting that I am the Bad Guy in certain people's story is a hard thing to admit. Admitting that I have also picked up some toxic traits along the way from being surrounded by toxic people is also hard to admit.  I know that I have done things and said things that may have caused harm to others and as a people pleaser, as someone that always needs to be liked and loved by everyone, it is ha...

Are you a victim of Self Sabotage? I never realized how many self sabotaging behaviors I had until I started to do research and record this episode. Some of these behaviors were things I used to do and some are some that I still constantly do.  Take a listen as I talk about the 4 Self Sabotaging behaviors I have and still currently deal with.

I constantly get asked, how do you so openly share your story and post yourself all over social media while dealing with Anxiety?  The answer is. . . I don’t know. I’ve been doing social media for maybe almost 3 years by now and I will have to say that it does get easier. When you find your “tribe,” your “community,” you won’t feel as anxious or judged. You know that these people genuinely ca...

My daughter just turned 4 years old. She is officially at the age I was when I have my first memories as a child, some good ones and not so good ones.  Now that she’s at the age, it’s absolutely terrifying because if I am going to cause her trauma, this is it, this is when she remembers things.  Take a listen as I talk about my worries, concerns, and most of all anxieties being the Cycle...

There were so many things I wanted to accomplish by January 1st. I figured New Year, New Start. I was pushing so had to get this all done but then none of it happened. I figured, well, that’s okay, still plenty of time.  Now we’re half way done with January and I have still NOT found the motivation to do ANYTHING. I didn’t realize that I was BURNT OUT until I was basically forced to start wor...

Now, here comes a movie that talks about Generational Trauma with pretty colors and catchy songs and I have LOTS TO SAY. Am I...

Kinda cliche right? Aren't we all annoyed when we hear someone say "New Year, New ME." I mean, I know that I am. So why did I decide to title my episode something so cliche? Because it is true. This year I plan to be an even BETTER me than I was LAST YEAR. If you've been following along, you know that I have embarked on this Self Healing Journey from my Childhood Trauma, Toxic Relationships, and s...

In this episode, I interview Chelsea, @yourroutinequeen. Chelsea and I connected over Instagram through one of the things we had in common, Anxiety. We set up a meeting to bounce ideas off of each other and immediately clicked. I am so happy to have her here as a Guest where we discuss how she is able to manage her own business online, while being a Mom and dealing with Anxiety and how she is help...

I took all of Thanksgiving off of Social Media to allow myself to work through and process any feelings that might have come up during the Holidays. There were many things that I learned and also many memories I forgot I had. The week consisted of lots and lots of crying but by the end I realized what I was truly grieving for and that what I have now is a million times better.
