Have you ever felt amazing when someone compliments you—only to feel completely crushed when they criticize you? That’s the trap of external validation. When your worth is dependent on what others think, you give away your power—allowing their words to dictate how you feel about yourself.

In this episode, we’re breaking down:
✔️ Why seeking validation keeps you emotionally vulnerable
✔️ How love bombing hooks you into needing approval
✔️ What it really means to internalize someone’s opinion—and how to stop
✔️ How to detach from what others think and reclaim your self-worth

If you’ve ever felt like your emotions are controlled by how others see you, this episode is for you. It’s time to stop letting outside voices determine your value and start owning your power—fully and unapologetically.

In this special episode of the 'Be A Better You Podcast,' I share with you the fascinating world of neural plasticity, the brain's remarkable ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout life. This concept isn't just scientific jargon; it's a hopeful reality that each of us can harness to fundamentally transform our lives.

We'll start by breaking down the basics of neural plasticity, explaining how every new skill learned, every new experience absorbed, and even every thought we entertain can reshape our brain's structure. This adaptability means that change is not just possible; it is within our grasp at any age and stage of life.

In a very personal segment, I'll share a recent moment where I found myself triggered!!! It was a situation that once would have derailed my day. However, thanks to the principles of neural plasticity that I've actively applied in my life, I was able to overcome this emotional upheaval in just minutes, rerouting my thoughts and calming my emotions quickly and effectively. This story is not just about overcoming; it's about the real-time power of our brains to adapt and evolve.

Join me as we explore how to harness this incredible power of our minds, offering practical tips for employing neural plasticity in your everyday life. Whether you're looking to break old habits, form new ones, or simply understand your brain a bit better, this episode is for you.

Have you ever asked yourself, “Why do I keep ending up in toxic relationships?” If you’ve experienced narcissistic abuse, emotional abuse, or felt trapped in trauma bonds, you might believe you’re somehow attracting these relationships. But here’s the truth—this is not your fault.

Narcissists don’t target you because you’re weak. They’re drawn to subconscious patterns and beliefs that make them feel powerful. The good news? You can shift these patterns and protect yourself from ever getting pulled into their cycle again.

In this episode, we’re exploring:
✔️ The red flags of narcissistic relationships and why that alone isn't enough
✔️ How unconscious beliefs like “I can fix them” or “If I try harder, they’ll love me” make you vulnerable
✔️ The energetic shifts that will help you step into emotional freedom and true self-worth

Healing from narcissistic abuse and breaking free from toxic patterns isn’t just about avoiding red flags—it’s about transforming the way you see yourself and what you believe about love, connection, and worthiness.

In this episode, I dive into the exhausting and painful reality of smear campaigns—when someone spreads lies to damage your reputation. Drawing from my own story I share what I call the “Ten Pages of Hate” from my upcoming book Radiate and Rise: Discovering Peace and Power During and After Divorce. I also share in this episode how smear campaigns can impact your relationships, career, and emotional well-being. Whether it’s lies spread to your kids, family, or even on social media, these attacks can leave you juggling overwhelming responsibilities while feeling isolated and betrayed.

We’ll explore the thoughts and beliefs that often arise during these moments, like feeling the need to prove your innocence or fearing that others will believe the lies. These beliefs keep you stuck, but there’s a way to widen your perspective and protect your peace. I’ll share how you can begin to overcome the emotional toll of these attacks and why it’s possible to find peace—even when others are trying to drag you down.

Stay tuned until the end for an exciting announcement about the giveaway tied to the launch of Radiate and Rise, releasing in February 2025.
