#139 Thriving in Emotional Polarity

5/17/2021
Have you ever experienced a day where you feel so happy and the next moment you can't stop crying? That's literally how my past few weeks have been for me. When we learn to dance in this polarity of feeling extremely high vibe in one moment and frustrated or angry in the next one, we become incredibly resilient. The key is to allow your emotions to be there without judgment, knowing that your emotions don't mean anything about your worth. When we can learn to accept what is and be present with what is, we strengthen a muscle that's going to be incredibly valuable for the rest of your life. This is the final episode of Season 2! Thank you for being a part of our Glow Life Podcast Journey!

Yes, of course I will help you! Yes, of course I can do this for you! Yes, of course I can skip my workout and meditation today!

#130 Perfectionists! Stop Controlling Your Entire Life with Apryl Franchini

3/16/2021
Perfectionists love controlling... Controlling workouts, what you eat, how you move your body, how many tasks you got done in a day.

#128 Black Girl in Love (with Herself) with Trey Anthony

1/19/2021
If you ever struggled with loving yourself, hit rock bottom, and are always the very last priority after everyone else in your life, you're going to love this episode with Trey Anthony, the author of "Black Girl in Love (with Herself)". This is THE self-help book that gives black women a relatable voice and supports them on how to practice self-care and self-love. Since Trey could never truly relate to all the personal development experts because of the color of her skin, she has written the book she would have needed as a black woman that often acted like she didn't exist. Growing up, she was taught that self-love and expressing emotions were weak, and that she had to be a strong woman. This lead to Trey hitting rock bottom just a year ago, when she found herself crying on the bathroom floor and her life fell apart. She had a deep conversation with God/Universe: She then knew she had to make her mess her message and help others heal, too. In today's episode, we talk about Why we so often ignore red flags in relationships - and how to no longer do that! How she got back up after her life fell apart as soon as she adopted a 2-week old baby Why avoiding emotions is not a weakness at all How to be kinder to yourself Her top tips on how to kickstart your self-love journey when all you want to do is run away And so much more!
