Wellish

To kick off the 28 Days of Self Love I felt it was important to take a step back and actually take the time to understand WHAT self love is. Because self love is such a highly discussed topic we assume we know the true meaning of self love. Especially because at face value it sounds pretty digestable. Self love is loving oneself. But to actually begin to attain true self love you have to understand it at a deeper more specific level. When we fully understand what self love is instead of just focusing on how to do it it makes the how come at lot more natural allowing the self love to be genuine and to stick in your life for the longer term. If you have always wanted to love yourself or you like yourself enough but want to explore the idea of you loving yourself more than you could ever imagine this episode is for you.

On this weeks solo episode Sarah describes metacognition and how understanding how to develop the skill of metacognition will skyrocket your ability to become the best version of yourself. Using science to help explain why emotions happen and what happens in your body that causes us to experience our emotions in the way that we do. Even better, she discusses how to develop the ability to choose a response that will put us in the drivers seat so we don’t feel like a slave to our emotions and start to feel we truly are our Elite selves.

On this weeks episode Sarah and Sharon discuss their experiences of feeling disconnected from their authentic selves and the importance of rediscovering oneself through mindfulness and intentional living. They also discuss the power of positive thinking and the concept of manifesting a desired life. The conversation shifts to handling difficult situations like a high-risk multiple myeloma diagnosis and the importance of self-love, positive thinking, and resilience. They touch upon the societal pressure to please others and the importance of self-compassion. The discussion then moves to the power of thought control and its impact on one's reality. Sarah and Sharon discuss the importance of self-awareness and self-acceptance, the challenge of balancing self-improvement with self-acceptance, and the importance of authenticity. They end the podcast discussing self-reflection, mindset, and personal growth.

We have over come the battle of just looking at others and feeling jealous wanting to have what they have. I guarantee you will not have even been presented with the 4 things I discuss in this weeks episode as to ways you are still comparing yourself to others. The biggest take away I want the Elite to get from this episode is how to stop living for other people and how to start living for yourself. If you are someone who never feels satisfied with their own life and who they are no matter how hard you try this episode is for you <3

On this weeks solo episode we are leaning into the social norm of creating New Year's resolutions. There's nothing wrong with capitalizing on a surge of motivation, so let's set the goals, but let's do so in a way that we can actually get a win instead of feeling like whatever we set the intention to do eventually fades away. I am giving you guys concrete ways to actually feel like you are completing your resolution and becoming the best version of yourself. Including a guided exercise at minute 21:47! Here's to 2024!

We all handle stress differently, but everyday stress is so much different than holiday stress. We have to make time to connect with so many people, we have money anxiety and are stressing to find the perfect gift, we have to see our family, potentially a significant other's family, and Christmas just donesn't feel they way it used to. Sarah addresses not just holiday anxiety, but the ways we can so quickly sacrifice ourselves for the happiness of others because that's what you're supposed to do at this time of year. If you are a people pleaser that is easily overwhelmed by the chaos the holiday brings, this episode is for you.

If you are feeling stuck on your journey to become the best version of yourself and like you have tried too many self improvement things but have had very little clarity this episode is for you.

This list of signs that you are too hard on yourself is a bit more subliminal. Sarah discusses the way she never used to claim the identity of being too hard on herself out of a deeper, and quite honestly, kinder, self awareness that she is hard working and has a strong work ethic. She begins to peel back layers to reveal some things that we may not even realize we are doing that could indicate you are being too hard on yourself. Do you think that could be you?

On this weeks solo episode Sarah gets into a topic that she finds incredibly challenging. She speaks from the place of the beginner in this new journey closer to becoming her best self compared to a place of mastery. Over explaining, talking to much, and giving people more justification than they may deserve is a bad habit she is working hard to break, so Sarah has listed out the 3 mindset shifts that she has taken in her own life to shift away from being so bothered by people and events out of her control and towards and more calm, cool, collected, and confident way of handling issues. If you are a person who has ever been called "too sensitive" or just wants to stop feeling like outside circumstances have so much control over your emotions, this episode is for you.

On this week's solo episode Sarah walks the Elite through 6 pieces of self improvement advise that not only are unhelpful, but actually have the opposite effect you intended the self help to have. Without awareness, it can cause you to build a mental checklist that you use as ammunition against yourself making you feel like even more of a failure than you started off feeling like. Sarah explains how it is what you do most of the time that matters and you have to do what works for you, not what works for someone else. If you feel like you are always trying to improve but never feel like you're the best version of yourself this episode is for you.

Strap in for some validation. This week I am talking to the Elite about something every single one of us is effected by and may be the reason you are so hard on yourself and not able to achieve what you have never felt like enough. So much of what we think, believe, feel, like, dislike, etc. has been handed to us by outside forces and not our own true opinions. On this episode we are going to decipher what thoughts have been given to you and what thoughts are really yours. You are not wrong for living how you are living as long as you are in alignment with your Elite self. If you are hard on yourself or are unsure if you're living your life how you should be this episode is for you.

Then you can refer back to your other resources to really solidify what your best self looks like for you.

Why is it that it makes sense that to become great, or even decent at a new skill -- playing a sport, learning a new instrument, painting a picture, a new job, WHATEVER, practice makes perfect makes perfect sense. But when it comes to new skills we want to improve on mentally, gaining confidence, setting boundaries, loving ourselves, feeling less overwhelmed, loving ourselves more, we expect to be good at the new self improvement tool the MOMENT we learned it just because we're intelligent enough to understand what needs to be done to improve. On this solo episode I am walking you through the warm up, skill building, and practice of applying a new self improvement skill.

On this solo episode I am opening up about my challenge with believing myself and how it has inhibited me from feeling proud of myself on a daily basis. From my relationship with my physical health, to routines, to planning my day I do my best to follow the "self improvement" lifestyle in order to reach my version of success and find myself consistently in a spiral of failure when I cannot flawlessly stick to what I believe will control my commercial success. I walk the Ishes through what my personal limiting beliefs are and what I am doing to work towards belief in a way that makes me feel success on a regular basis.

For this weeks solo episode I wanted to break down a powerful mindset shift that has changed the way I operate. It has allowed me to no longer feel the need to chase the higher version of myself, but accept that I am her right now even though I am not 100% healed, healthy, and well. I can still work towards becoming better without feeling like there is something wrong with present me. I walk you guys through how to make the decision to control your emotions compared to allowing them to control you using realistic examples that will trigger your own breakthrough of making the decision to not feel badly anymore. I then explain how to live a kinda well kinda toxic lifestyle and teach you the skills that will transform the way you perceive your healing journey and your day to day experience. If you feel yourself working hard to self improve and feeling like you just can't reach the finish line, this is for you.

We discuss how being intentional even in the smallest of ways can shift the trajectory of your life so you can look back from the rocking chair and feel proud of your accomplishments rather than wondering if you could have done more. Michael discusses this in a realistic way that involves accepting your life as it is and focusing on personal growth where it's necessary without chasing a destination or material gain, or without having to take major uncomfortable changes like quitting your job because it's not your passion or developing a monk like mentality.

Corrin’s passion for the psychology behind domestic abuse and toxic relationships comes from lived experience that she openly shares on the episode.

This week I have a plethora of self improvement realizations to share with the Ishes. From knowing whether or not relationships (friends or romantic) are right for you, to preventing the obsession with becoming the best version of yourself to have a clear mind while still making strides to become the person you dream of being, to taking all the bullsh*t you have decided are reasons to not trust yourself and flipping that into a way to build self trust we are learning to lighten the f*ck up. Of course, we're never letting up the reigns on improving ourselves. We just need a kinder space to do it from.

This week I sat down with licensed therapist turned integrative soul coach Dr. Emy Tafelski to talk about post traumatic growth. We discuss how she helps women reweave their souls into wholeness after loss or trauma by unweaving threads that do not belong to us, including the threads of patriarchy most of us carry, to become a more connected, authentic, grounded, whole version of ourselves.

This week I am breaking down 5 things that if I had only known sooner, would have sped up my journey towards mental clarity tenfold. I get into my behavior in my unhealthiest state, exploiting myself for your entertainment per usual, and how making these VERY SIMPLE changes/realizations instantly propelled me forward in becoming a higher version of myself.

Passing judgement isn't toxic. It becomes toxic when we start imposing our judgements on others. If we keep them to ourselves they can be used for what I think this inevitable feeling is truly for. Allowing our judgements to point us towards our ideal selves, getting to know ourselves better, and helping us decipher the things we do and don't believe in to create a life we're proud to live. I'm sick of feeling like an a*shole every time I judge someone and never being able to maintain the unbreakable habit of being impeccable with my word. As long as we aren't intentionally or unintentionally causing harm to others we can redirect these seemingly negative thoughts to something more constructive for our own growth.

If you are the relationship type and have ever felt insecure about not being the casual dating type. Relationships have been given this stigma of being too much work and/or commitment, too boring or stagnant, essentially as soon as you are in one, you lose your edge. While casual dating is glorified and sexy, but most of the time can actually feel much more miserable than the long term relationship. If you have ever felt less than good enough for not being here for the hoe phase, we are normalizing long term relationships feeling sexy.

If you're like me and find yourself shoulding yourself all too often, essentially you are telling yourself you're not good enough. You have to put intention behind making this mindset shift and today we are walking through specific ways to start doing this. We get into the question of who we are and how intertwined a shoulding mentality is with this concept because of how much we get caught up in the shoulding that we lose touch with what we actually want. This leads to us knowing the person we're supposed to be and not actually who we are. Navigating away from this will help us regain our ability to discover what we truly want in order to start taking the correct steps that will get us closer to a life we feel good about living.

Last week I was tearing myself to shreds that I wasn't living the life I wanted to live. I am so sick of listening to other people's success stories to make me feel better or hearing the advice of look how far you've come. It doesn't satiate my desire to attain the life I continuously find myself picturing in my head. This week we're talking about what does satiate that desire, how to stop beating yourself up over the life you're currently living.

After spending the last month telling you guys how we can love ourselves to the fullest I feel like I leaned so much into the kinda well side of myself that I don't want the kinda toxic part of me (literally 50% of who I am) to slip through the cracks. This week I am breaking down for you all of my toxic traits from petty ones to ones that I should probably look into fixing a little harder. All in all, isn't it our toxic traits that make life a little more entertaining though?

For our last day of this month long series together I want to of course ease some of the pressure. I never expected you to get all the way through the 28 Days Of Self Love and be completely healed from whatever was troubling you when you began the challenge. That's because there will always be shit to heal from. We can't expect to be fully healed to just be knocked down by life's bullshit that so much of the time is out of our control. But we can love ourselves 100%. The same way that you continue to love another person or pet more and more everyday the same applies to yourself. You can love yourself fully today and just keep loving yourself more tomorrow. I love all of you so much and I am so grateful for everyone who too this journey with me. I will talk to you Ishies MONDAY!!!!

You are not stupid. There is a reason behind your thoughts. At the end of the day there is a reason you are having them. This is not to be mixed up with your overthinking mind, but looking at your initial thoughts and diving into the core of it to discover the truth is going to save you a lot of time and grief compared to not listening to it and finding out, typically in a harder way, that you were right.

As we come to the end of our self love journey together I want to talk to you guys about one of my biggest fears. I believe that the more you step into the the best version of yourself the more you are becoming your truest, most genuine, self. Therefore, when you are given the opportunity to show people this evolved version of you and you face the possibility of being rejected or judged for who you ACTUALLY are??? Phew, terrifying. Not to mention the possibility of losing the current people in your life who have already accepted the old version of you. We're covering all of it today.

The word evolution sounds soooo long term. No thanks. I want to feel like the best version of myself now. I don't want the only answer for this to be that I need to accept myself flaws and all as I am right now because again that's something that takes practice, in other words, time. I want answers now and to feel good about who I am now compared to constantly waiting to meet this better future version of myself that never actually arrives. Evolution doesn't have to be long term and I want to tell you guys how to become the new you right now.

Sometimes the thought of being what the world considers sexy is daunting. Especially now that we live in a world that has examples of what it means to be sexy everywhere you look. And all of those examples some how look....the same? lol. So what do you do if you don't fit that specific mold? That means you can't be classified as sexy. I refuse to succumb to that pressure. I want to challenge what it means to be sexy so you can feel good about how you specifically radiate sexy.
