Truly Incredible!
Self-reflection and introspection are things we often shy away from as human beings, however it is very much needed. Through these podcasts Lisy empowers you to do just that, in a very warm and empathic way. She helps you become comfortable with the uncomfortable. Real, raw, and unfiltered... Exactly how it should be.

- 043: How to be more honest with yourself with Becca RibbingBecca Ribbing is the author of The Clarity Journal and has been a coach for over a decade. She's on a mission to help people break out of the cycles of uncertainty and struggle that hold them back. She helps women going back and forth with the big, seemingly endless question of what to do next—so they can stop going around in circles and finally figure out what they truly want and create the clarity and momentum they crave. In today's episode we're talking about how to be more honest with yourself. Here are some of the questions that Becca helps answer for us! Why is it that sometimes it feels like self-care should make us happier but really it’s just a band aid because it’s not getting at why we feel depleted in the first place? What may be some of the reasons why we feel depleted? What are some of the “signs” that we’re not aligning with ways that self-care can actually help serve us? What are more effective ways that we can self-care? Can you describe for us what that looks like in a way that gives us energy instead of taking it away? How can we recognize when what we’re doing isn’t working anymore? What does it mean to “be more honest with yourself”? What does “being more honest with yourself” look like? How can we start facing things head on? If you're ready to be honest with yourself, check out Becca's book "The Clarity Journal" on Amazon.

It was such an honor and privilege to speak directly with her...the author! Today's episode, we chat about: 1. Shannon's inspiration to write “Adventures For Your Soul” 2. What was holding her back before writing this book 3. Which chapter required the most vulnerability to write about & why 4. Which habit transformation impacted Shannon's life the most & why 5. Which chapter was her favorite to write & why Some of my favorite quotes: “We often settle because we think it is the best we can get, a behavior that is rooted in fear of the unknown or in feeling unworthy” “One of the most common habits we fall into that can hinder our happiness is overthinking things and failing to act. This shows up in the form of over analyzing, being extremely critical, or not trusting our own feelings” “If we didn’t feel embarrassment and shame, other people’s criticism of us or our own inner critic would have no power over us. Many of us stay stuck in self-shame, guilt, and embarrassment because we are worried about what other people will think” “Emotions affect you because they are rooted in some past experience and will try to rule your choices by reminding you of the consequences you suffered, the mistakes and failures of your past. When we listen to our emotions, we stay stuck in our past” “I was always blaming myself because I didn't love myself...I was always consumed with guilt and focused on trying to make things “right”...I did everything I could to please them, in the process losing more of myself every day. Blame is a cousin of fear. Fear keeps us from falling in love with our life…” You can grab your copy of "Adventures For Your Soul" here: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/317331/adventures-for-your-soul-by-shannon-kaiser/ Check out her other books, too! https://www.playwiththeworld.com/books/ Please join me in supporting Shannon by checking out her website: playwiththeworld.com and following her on social media: Twitter: https://twitter.com/shannonlkaiser Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ShannonKaiserWrites/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shannonkaiserwrites/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/PLAYWITHTHEWORLD0 comments0

- 029: The Pros of Living With OCDYes, as I was reflecting on what life was like / is like living with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder I realized that there are just as many pros as there are cons. Trust me, this was just ask shocking to me, too. Today, as part of mental health awareness month, I wanted to highlight the pros. Below is a list of my reflections for both sides: Cons: It made me feel trapped and fearful It made me have a broken record in my brain replaying negative thoughts It made me sabotage relationships It made me ruminate It gave me intrusive thoughts that made me question my sanity It made me obsessed with religion and trying to be the perfect Christian It made me crave assurance It’s kept me stuck within my business It made me experience some of the worst panic attacks of my life Pros: It’s made me a more empathetic person It’s made me more introspective It helped keep me out of trouble It’s made me have more resilience It’s turned me into a fighter It’s made me ask myself lots of questions to gain awareness & ultimately confidence It’s made me be more truthful It’s helped me stick with my workouts because they’re real time and I am holding myself more accountable not to miss a day It’s made me more prepared to cope with things like COVID-19, periods of time filled with uncertainty As I shared in this episode, I'm a Certified Personal Development Coach and I empower women to develop & strengthen self-confidence in their personal lives, careers, and relationships.

- 028: Understanding Narcissistic Personalities with Laurie SantosLaurie is a certified Life Coach and was formerly a federal probation officer with a Master in Justice and a degree in Cultural Anthropology. She is originally from California but has been an expat for 14 years. Through her Higher Self Letter Writing technique and customized guided visualizations and affirmations, Laurie shows you how you are your first home. May is mental health awareness month. As many of us either know or have known a narcissist, this is a very important topic that I can't wait to share with you all! Today, Laurie and I dive deeper into understanding narcissistic personalities. But you might be asking, what is a narcissist? You will learn: Some of the signs of narcissists What it's like living with a narcissistic parent, family member, or partner The best ways to communicate with a narcissist How we can cope and show ourselves love Initially, narcissistic abuse starts with 'small jab' comments. Over time, they grow and behavior changes. You might experience passive aggressiveness and/or the silent treatment. Narcissists are like mind ninjas! As Laurie shares, "they will start to diminish your self-esteem...and you don't really feel it straight away." You might think, as Laurie also shared, "what's wrong with me...?" Mental abuse is still abuse. Please remember that your emotions and thoughts are valid and that there is NOTHING wrong with you. Narcissists prey on those who are empathetic and use it against them. Remember your inner power and use this episode to empower you to show yourself compassion, acceptance, and love - - - Show Laurie your love & support!

- 027: 5 Ways to Live Your Life Feeling FulfilledYou want it so badly. The fit body, a partner in crime, to be InstaFamous and have the most glamorous feed, or to finally have the guts to start that business you've always dreamed of. You spend so much time future tripping - focusing on these things (and then some)... things that you don't have right now. So you get frustrated, you get angry, and you get discouraged. How many hours a day do you spend future tripping? How much energy do you consume every day saying mean things to yourself? Stop searching for external things, soul sister. You will literally exhaust yourself mentally and physically to the point of panic attacks, increased anxiety, and depression. It's scary to search inward, but it's the answer. You gotta spend time with you first. Before you listen to this episode, take 30 seconds to look at your reflection, either in a mirror or on your phone.

What does it mean to have intuition? Where does it come from? And how can we distinguish the difference between intuition and Ego (or the inner critic, or fear, or anxiety)? Amanda and I deep dive into helping to answer these questions for you!

Learning more about our intuition helps us to learn more about trusting ourselves.

What you'll learn today: What does it mean to be emotionally aware How you can increase your emotional intelligence Self-awareness practices that can help you feel less anxious Transformational Quotes: "...emotional self awareness... [is] the degree to which you're in touch with your feelings and your emotions and are able to distinguish one emotion from another and understand why that emotion has resulted..." "...I tend to subscribe to the thinking that emotions are really a very initial response to our triggers. And I'm not talking about trauma triggers I'm talking about any trigger which is really just any response to anything...And then there's a sort of a feedback loop that last for about six seconds..." "... just get to being very present with yourself so that you can become aware of what it is that you're feeling and to recognize that you are not your feelings." "...dividing our emotional intelligence into four basic areas that is (1) self awareness, (2) self management, (3) social awareness and (4) social management. So really it's about becoming really aware of who we are and how we are in the world. How we feel inside, how we feel about ourselves [and] what we're doing about that, and then how we manage ourselves...it also looks at...what's going on outside of us in our environment." "...awareness helps us in the present moment, and that awareness is the best guide for what we can do in that moment and every moment forward." [during COVID-19] having this emotional awareness will strengthen our ability to not only communicate what our needs are...but also... to communicate this to others [in our households]..." [How can we manage our emotions] "...might be a little bit more nuance than managing emotions. I think it [is] a little bit more about managing what we do about our emotions because the emotions need to be allowed to be felt..." "Number one most important is that we have to allow ourselves the safe space to feel what we feel..."

- 023: Living With Agoraphobia & Depression with Lindsay MusgroveLindsay Musgrove is a 29 years old, Peer Support Specialist, working part time at a local mental health authority. She is also a writer and enjoys philosophy. Lindsay wants to bring mental illness not just to the forefront, but also the knowledge of lesser well understood disorders that are often overlooked. She's a local artist and cat meme enthusiast. What is agoraphobia? What's it like living with agoraphobia? How can I cope? What are ways that I can overcome? These are some of the questions Lindsay and I dive into in today's episode! “Is everybody looking at me? … [it's a] self-conscious fear … I felt like, everything was kinda, closing in… it was just very scary. From that point on, the anxiety got worse and I started to get a panic attack” Lindsay shares, “...there is a step before facing your fears… having to find the ability to say, ‘Am I going to be able to do this?’ … everything is a process…” We talked a lot about coping and acknowledgement: “...acknowledging that what you’re going through is valid, and acknowledging that what you’re experiencing has a name … with knowledge around how to overcome it … that’s where the power is. It’s not just knowing something...but doing something about it…you are now able to overcome, and find ways in which you can find that strength…” Click the link below to keep listening! - - - Please show Lindsay all of your love and support by following her on Twitter @TheDopamineFlux and her blog: http://thedopamineflux.com/0 comments0

- Brain Lock: How to free yourself from OCD - Step 4 REVALUE“Lessons Learned from OCD” Reframing to see the good that OCD has brought: Lara put it this way: “Having OCD has made me a more intense, sensitive, and compassionate human being. I have been humbled by my disorder. It has built character even while tearing at my soul, my heart, and my self-esteem. It has enabled me to fight harder, to strive for the good and the truth inside of me. It has made me less critical and judge mental of others who suffer in their lives.” How to Revalue: Realize that your obsessive thoughts and compulsive urge are not important and that you can deal with them. You’re in sense, devaluing those silly thoughts. Anticipate and Accept Anticipate that the obsessive thought will occur hundreds of time a day and do not be surprised by them, even if they are violent and extremely upsetting. Accept that your problem is a treatable medical condition.... accept that it exists despite yourself, not because of yourself Use progressive time delays that gradually increase longer than 15 minutes by breaking the task into manageable bits, reassessing the situation while you are still anxious Practice - over stress the importance of learning to make self-supportive statements as a regular part of doing the Four Steps. Victim to victor - As Karen in the book says, “get a loving buddy, a friend, or a family member to help you and encourage you. Get your life back. Your future is in your hands now.” Recap: Relabeling - “It’s all right, it’s just OCD” Reattribute - it to a brain glitch Refocus - on a constructive, enjoyable behavior Revaluing - the meaning of your thoughts and urges - - - **Please note: all references and direct quotes mentioned in this book club podcast episode are directly from Brain Lock: Free Yourself from Obsessive-Compulsive Behavior by Jeffrey M. Schwartz, MD with Beverly Beyette0 comments0
- Brain Lock: How to free yourself from OCD - Step 3 REFOCUSStep 3: Refocus “Wishing Won’t Make It So” This step helps tell you what to do when you are trying to overcome those urges to do the compulsive behavior. The key = do another behavior Facts: - The more you worry about trying to drive some foolish and bothersome idea from your mind, the less chance you’ll succeed - A key principle in self-directed cognitive behavior therapy for OCD is this: it’s not how you feel, it’s what you do that counts - The object is to pursue an activity for at least 15 minutes - this is the fifteen minute rule - When you shift behavioral gears, you improve how your brain works - As you learn to manage your anxiety, your powers of observation will improve you will develop a powerful mind, a mind that is sensitive to subtle changes and able to see the implications of those changes - Just because your orbital cortex is stuck in gear and sending you false messages doesn’t mean you have to listen to it. That’s the important mind-brain discovery around which our UCLA team has structured the Four-Step program - By practicing these step, you will be able to expose yourself for longer and longer periods to those terrible thoughts and urges without performing compulsive ritual in response to them - There is a spiritual aspect to overcoming OCD, as well as a biological one (page 76) - As you do few compulsive behaviors and pay less and less attention to your obsessive thoughts - work around the thoughts - those thoughts and urges will fade more and more quickly - As human beings we have the capacity to observe our own behavior, to use our Impartial Spectator, to increase our mindful awareness, and to make thoughtful decisions about how we’re going to value and respond to the signals our brain is sending us As a recap so far: #1 Relabel - call it what it is, an obsession #2 Reattribute - place the blame squarely where it belongs by reminding yourself, “it’s not me, it’s the OCD” #3 Refocus - walk away from the sink without washing your hands and do something worthwhile that makes you happy Reframe what OCD means to you. Here’s a positive way to look at it: - People with OCD tend to be creative, sincere, and very intense - You’re always figuring out exercise that will help you help yourself - You have the power to change your behaviors. Learn how to start relying on yourself again Relationship OCD: - Just let your thoughts go by without trying to figure them out - Trust and believe that you can manage your OCD, rather than allow it to manage you - As you implement the Four Steps you will gain confidence that you can prevail (Like Anna in the book says) - Shift and reframe your thoughts - Remember that even if your obsessions and compulsions reappear they will never again have the same power over you (Like Karen says in the book) Remember, you must be active. You must practice these steps0 comments0
