  • Blog Excerpt: I think it’s safe to say that all women, at one point or another, have experienced “good girl syndrome,” which is very prominent in people pleasers. It’s always putting someone else above yourself, neglecting your own boundaries, self care, expectations, values, or health in the process.

    Ways to Engage: What are some examples you’ve seen or experienced with “good girl syndrome?” Is this something you were aware of before listening to the episode or is new to you? Become aware of situations like this in your life or in the lives of those around you, supporting women in living unapologetically.

  • Blog Excerpt: When it comes to living out of her own expectations, Arlene brings a new perspective that I don’t think has been brought up before. She says we need to drop expectations with judgment, not only for ourselves but for others as well.

    Ways to Engage: We talk about living out of your own expectations, but do you consider what expectations you put upon other people? Are they fair and reasonable? Are you making a quick judgment of someone else and what you expect them to do for you? The work begins with us, and we should keep these thoughts in the back of our mind as we continue to grow and evolve.

    Ways to Engage: Take time to consider your core wounds starting from childhood. Sit with the emotions that come up during this exploration while remembering that there are no “good” or “bad” emotions—they are clues to help you get to the bottom of the real issue. Healing yourself from the past continues to heal yourself into the future, setting you up for further success mentally, physically, and spiritually.

  • Blog Excerpt: Suzanne shares that being up front with people can be simple, though that takes a bit of practice. We tend to over explain ourselves when we first start setting boundaries and telling people no, but we’re just creating a lot more work for ourselves in the long run.

    Ways to Engage: Next time someone requests something from you, such as a time-consuming favor, take time to think about it before agreeing. Is this something you have the capacity for mentally or physically? Are you only saying yes out of obligation or is it something you really want to do/help out with? There’s nothing wrong with taking the time to make a decision, and an honest decision is one well made.

  • Blog Excerpt: Leigh loves to explore, and it’s very apparent in her open mindedness and willingness to truly listen to others. Leigh is supporting women unapologetically everyday through her work as a women’s writing mentor, but she says she hears from men as well.

    Ways to Engage: Do you have a problem with seeing rest or naps as lazy? Time may be limited, but time for you is not wasted, nor is it laziness. Give yourself permission to get the rest your body and mind needs.

  • Blog Excerpt: Comfort went through life staying quiet so she could fit in with the crowd and was a perpetual people pleaser. After hitting her rock bottom, it felt like she was starting over from scratch. The thought of that is horrifying, but it also can be thrilling.

    Ways to Engage: Do you have expectations that people know of automatically or do you communicate them? What stops you from communicating your expectations or boundaries with people? It’s important to be clear with people rather than making assumptions, even if it’s difficult to communicate your expectations at first.

  • Blog Excerpt: Beth has been a pilates teacher for 20 years, and she uses this connection between her mind and body to support other women in their journeys to do the same. With an understanding of the nervous system, she is more in tune with its cycles and is able to pick up on clues to help clients.

    Ways to Engage: Are there unprocessed traumas in your body you’ve thought about lately? Take the time to work your body through the trauma, work your mind through it, and process what you need to in order to heal properly.

  • Blog Excerpt: After everything was shut down in 2020, we got used to having work with us 24/7 on our phones and computers. There wasn’t a clear line of where work stopped and your personal life began.

    Ways to Engage: Think about the perceptions you have about different communities in your area or that you’ve come across in your life. Are these perceptions based on behavior you’ve experienced or stereotypes you’ve been told? Make sure the opinions you’re forming are your own and are fair.

  • Trigger warning: sexual abuse

    Blog Excerpt: Eve supports women in living unapologetically, and she is doing so by destigmatizing sexual health. As women, we are not supposed to have sex, at least according to society.

    Ways to Engage: Are there areas of your sexuality that you need to revisit? Areas that have been ignored or you have preconceived notions on? Has something shamed you into changing your opinion of your body or sexuality? Allow yourself to feel free in every aspect of your body.

  • Blog Excerpt: In particular, Veronica’s journey with self care encompasses all aspects of F.E.E.L. Veronica talks about showing up in the manner that people need her, something so important to remember when we are communicating our wants and needs.

    Ways to Engage: When’s the last time you sat down and relaxed? No meditating, no reading, no exercises, just sitting and resting. We think of ourselves as “lazy” when we do this, but here is a reminder that it’s okay to be still and enjoy a moment of peace.

  • Blog Excerpt: Jen is able to help frame her layers by using IFS (Internal Family Systems). It’s a great way for her to find empowerment in her layers by teaching her to frame the observation as “there’s a part of me that…” rather than making your layers the whole part of you.

    Ways to Engage: When a relationship ends, what’s your perspective? Do you vilify it? Do you recognize that it’s the end of your season with that person or do you try to keep relationships just for the sake of having them? Relationships, romantic or otherwise, are not always meant to last forever and that’s okay.

  • Trigger warning: sexual addiction

    Blog Excerpt: Our boundaries should be like guardrails to protect us, but they should be far enough back that there’s safety before going completely over the edge.

    Ways to Engage: When setting your boundaries, think about the way you’re wording your expectations. Instead of making it about the other person’s behavior, make it about what your behavior will be if theirs doesn’t change. You can’t be responsible for someone else’s decisions, but you can be responsible for your own.

  • Blog Excerpt: This idea came to her as she was on a walk, which is connected to her self care routine. For Mariela, self care needs to be nonnegotiable so she can reset after giving so much of herself to her family.

    Ways to Engage: If you’re a young/new mom, think of some things you could use help with and share them with a friend or loved one who is willing to take some of the load off. Do you know a young/new mom who could use a hand? Offer ways to help or be supportive during this transitional time in their lives.

  • Blog Excerpt: I loved hearing Laura say what an integral part food plays in our health, including the mental aspect, which I think gets lost in translation sometimes. What you eat not only affects your physical state, but it also affects your mood.

    Ways to Engage: Think about the purpose of the food you’re eating and the reason behind it. Are you actually hungry or are you trying to fill a void? Are these nutritious calories you’re eating or empty ones that make you feel tired rather than energized? Be mindful of the things you’re putting into your body and how it makes you feel.

  • Blog Excerpt: We are featuring Herstory Writers Network, a nonprofit organization that utilizes the art of memoir writing to connect with people in the community. The network originated in Long Island, NY but has since grown to be accessible from anywhere, offering both in person and remote writing circles.

    Ways to Engage: Challenge yourself to step out of your comfort zone. Attend a writing workshop, share your writing in an online forum, or anything that puts yourself out there as a storyteller. Read other people’s stories, comment on them, and make them feel seen and heard.

  • **TW Mention of sexual abuse and suicide

    Blog Excerpt: [Paris] has been on our podcast before as Paris Prynkiewicz, sharing her journey as a Bipolar wellness coach, changing the way that people see and hear the word Bipolar. Paris is a resilient, passionate, and driven community builder, overcoming any obstacle that may present itself.

    Ways to Engage: Think of ways you can incorporate more time for yourself throughout the day. If you would normally be scrolling on your phone while waiting in line or before bed, take the time to do something mindfully. You’ll start to feel the difference between the days that your mind is constantly busy and the days you take some extra time to be in the present moment.

  • **mention of or inclusion of parts alluding to suicide**

    Blog Excerpt: In Yahne’s life, she thought she had to put others above herself to receive love in return, but she wasn’t sharing any of that love with herself. She reached a point where she was tired of letting herself down, just tired of being tired. The unknown is scary, and Yahne was nervous about discovering her layers without knowing what she would find.

    Ways to Engage: Think about what’s stopping you from uncovering your layers. Is it fear? Is the idea overwhelming? Whatever the reason may be, work towards uncovering your layers piece by piece. Start small and superficial if that’s easier, such as pointing out things you like about yourself rather than staring at all the things you wish you could change. Take the first step of loving yourself and giving yourself the treatment you ultimately deserve.

  • Blog Excerpt: A question that is sometimes difficult to answer is the question of “why.” A great simile Sarika uses is that her why is like a live document—it is always changing. She asks herself a lot about her why, making sure it always aligns with what she’s doing and the type of person she wants to be.

    Ways to Engage: Challenge yourself to answer honestly when someone asks how you are and vice versa. Are you feeling hopeful? Exhausted? Overwhelmed? Think of another adjective other than “good.” If someone responds that way when you ask how they are, ask if that’s true. “Are you really good?” It can mean the world to someone when you show sincere interest in them and want to be a person they can open up to.

  • Blog Excerpt: "If I had to pick a favorite part of the episode, it would probably be towards the end, listening to Marjorie discuss accepting the layered aspects of herself and living out F.E.E.L. Accepting your layers isn’t as simple as it sounds because there isn’t just one thing to accept. There are many different parts to us, and we don’t know about some of them until we start to do the work to uncover the layers."

    Ways to Engage: Think of some character traits for yourself, starting small if you prefer. Funny, smart, kind, etc. Then, dig a little deeper into your layers and what your thoughts are, rather than traits someone else has maybe given to you. Even if they seem like an oxymoron, stay true to yourself and get creative. Take the first step of your journey to accept the layered aspects of yourself and embrace all of your beautiful, complex layers.

  • Blog Excerpt:Another thing I want to mention from this segment is the idea of “training” people to help you. At first I didn’t understand how this was possible because how are you supposed to train someone who has their own thoughts and ways they want to do things? But listening to Hannah further and thinking about it, we do this all the time.

    Ways to Engage: Continue to check in with your mind and body, especially during times of high pressure or stress. Remember the physical cues of burnout will most likely show up first, but also be sure to pay attention to the emotional cues your body may be giving you. Write them down if that helps or discuss it with someone close to you. Listen to what your body is telling you and take care of yourself in the way that you need most.
