Connect Back In

Like most people, I am no stranger to mental illnesses. I've experienced seasons of darkness myself, and I also have friends and family members who have been diagnosed with various mental illness diseases. Thus, in honor of Mental Health Awareness, I wanted to open up the conversation to normalize and release the stigma reminding you, whether you've experienced mental illness or not, that you're not alone. I also share a few ways to pull yourself into a higher vibe energy if you're in a place where you're wanting to do that. I also recognize that it is so important that we honor whatever feelings we have, not dismissing them, as they do share a valuable insight. My hope is that this episode reminds you that you're supported, and never alone on your journey. Enjoy!

In this episode, I’m talking about the two internal voices many of us experience every single day - the voice of fear and the voice of love.

So often, we hear phrases like “trust yourself,” “listen to your intuition,” or “follow your inner knowing,” but what can feel confusing is figuring out which voice is actually speaking.

Inside this episode, I share:

• The difference between the voice of fear and the voice of inner guidance
• Common patterns and behaviors of the ego
• Why fearful thoughts tend to repeat themselves over and over again
• How awareness helps loosen the grip those thoughts can have on you
• Why the ego isn’t bad, but simply trying to protect you
• How to begin listening to the voice that supports your growth, peace, and expansion

The ego often wants certainty, control, and safety. It tends to focus on worst-case scenarios, limitations, comparison, and fear of failure. Meanwhile, your deeper inner knowing tends to feel quieter, calmer, and more grounded - even when it’s leading you into the unknown.

This episode is not about “getting rid” of the ego. It’s about learning to recognize its patterns so they no longer unconsciously run your life.

The more awareness you bring to your thoughts, the more freedom you give yourself to choose differently.

I talk about manifestation or the law of attraction frequently on my episodes, as this practice and belief system has brought so many desires into my life. I have so much proof that this works, that I can no longer live any other way. Through each experience, I have discovered a few tips and tricks that have allowed me to enjoy the process while on my way to receiving the big goals I have set before me. In today's episode, I figured I'd pull together my top tips to help you manifest whatever it is you're desiring in your life. My hope is that you learn a valuable concept that you can begin to apply immediately, and that it brings with it the results that you're looking for. Enjoy!

What the heck is an abundant mindset? You may or may not be asking yourself. Think 'glass half full vs. glass half empty'. It is a way in which we view the world, interpret information, and essentially live our lives. Have you done inventory on where your mindset is at? What are you telling yourself? What do you believe? If you focus on limitation, lack, worry, fear, it will only bring more of those things into your life (what you focus on, you create more of AND where your attention goes, energy flows). Thus, the worse it gets, the worse it gets. However, if you can get to a place where you can flip a coin to the other side and see possibility, more than enough to go around, and that you are fully supported, life get's so much easier. The better it gets, the better it gets.

In today's episode I share some reminders on how you can to shift from a lack mindset (think Eeyore) to an abundance mindset (think Tigger). It's not about being happy all the time and avoiding feeling, as we need to feel what we feel. We're human beings and it isn't possible to not feel a sense of lack (see things from a negative lense) from time to time. However, it is about recognizing when it does happen, letting it go without attaching any guilt to it, and then trying again from this list of reminders. My hope is that it shifts your perspective even in the slightest way to bring you more joy and ease into your life, as that's what we're here for. Enjoy!

I recently hit the two year anniversary of my Dad's passing, and as hard as it is to believe he has been gone that long already, I also took some time to recognize how much I have grown from this experience. This undesired change has been by far the most challenging thing I've ever gone through, but I have also expanded as a being more than I ever thought I would.

Change, whether it's within our control or not, can be really uncomfortable to go through. As humans, we tend to believe that change is the enemy, but expansion within our world and ourselves cannot happen without it.

In today's episode of Connect Back In podcast, I talk about why change is good, and share with you some reminders to allow you to see the process for what it truly is. If you're experiencing change at the moment, take a listen to help you see a different perspective. My goal is that you hear something that will allow you to lean into the change, feel some relief, and release some of your resistance. Remember, the only thing that is constant in life is change. Learning to master this process will reap so many benefits in your life, and allow you to grow and blossom into the fullest version of you. Enjoy!

I recently went through a breakthrough experience where I finally made a decision on something that was holding me back for over a year and a half! This is highly unlike me as generally when I make a choice, it is as good as done. However, this decision had a hold on me that I wasn't even fully aware of. As we are confronted day in and day out with decisions, sometimes it can be tough to know how to navigate them. Which choice should I make? What if I make the wrong decision? Well, if this is you, or ever has been you, take a listen to today's episode where I walk through some ways in which you can support yourself when making a decision in life, no matter how big or small. My hope is that you gain clarity and through these processes, release some of the pressure on yourself, and remember that we're all figuring it out as we go along, and as always, you are never alone. Enjoy!

In this week's episode, I sit down with Lauren Allen, the found of Corporate School Dropout. She is not only a friend of mine, but an inspiration to anyone who is looking to ditch the 9 to 5, and follow the internal guidance that tells them they are made for more. She herself went through this process over 4+ years ago now, and through that experience, she took key learnings and developed the community, podcast, and thriving business she has today!

The first step that lead to significant change in Lauren's life came from the guidance that she received from a kind voice within. Do you hear that voice too? Have you followed it's direction? It might feel uncertain as to where it will lead, but in today's episode, we discuss the importance of listening to that internal guidance and how it has lead Lauren to where she is today, along with some other nuggets of wisdom. After all, the goal of this podcast is to remind you to Connect Back In to who you truly are so that you can find everything that you're looking for outside of yourself. My hope is that you feel inspired to start listening to  your own internal nudges, and stop holding back on living the life you were meant to live. Enjoy!

Today's episode is a little shorter than normal, but nevertheless, is still an important concept that I wanted to share everyone. I recently went through a 'sad' phase, and found myself treating the experience as if it was a negative one, that something was 'wrong' with me. Now, back on the other side of things, I see now how important sadness is to our overall well being and happiness as a human. It is truly a beautiful emotion, that if we can see it as such, allows us to blossom into the fullness of who we are. If you're someone who judges your emotions, this episode might be helpful for you to hear. Enjoy!
