    Aug 9 2023

    Life is a journey, and sometimes we need to evict some unwanted guests from our mind to make room for the positives. Ever wondered why some people, even long after they've vacated our lives, continue to occupy precious space in our thoughts? We'll shed light on this intriguing concept, drawing wisdom from Carl Young and personal experiences, and arm you with strategies to liberate your mind and savor the joys of being present.

    Switching gears, we venture into the delicate realm of co-parenting and the art of letting go of resentment, likening it to holding onto a hot coal that only burns us. We've all had relationships that didn't last as long as we'd hoped, but every interaction has a profound impact on our journey. We'll guide you through understanding when it's time to let go and how to gracefully embrace the life lessons from relationships that didn't go the distance.

    In our bustling lives, finding peace can often seem like an uphill battle. But fret not, we've got you covered! We emphasize the value of daily rituals and self-care, helping you carve out a serene space free from distractions. We also share the concept of 'gray rocking' - a powerful strategy to keep negativity at bay and create a haven for your mental wellbeing. Remember, the best response to negativity could be no response at all. So, are you ready to embark on this journey to evict negativity, embrace positivity, and truly master the art of being present? Step right in, and let's begin!

We talk about the importance of being loving and accepting of our changing bodies, a vital component in the journey of menopause.

    Wrapping up the discussion, we delve into how hormonal changes can stir up the waters in relationships. We're talking authentic communication, the challenges it presents, and unfortunately, the role these hormonal shifts sometimes play in the dissolution of relationships.

Whether you're in the throes of menopause, on the cusp, or know someone who is, this insightful discussion offers comfort, guidance, and undoubtedly, a sense of camaraderie.
