What To Do When The Unexpected Happens
Hello friends and welcome to episode number 009! Today, I’m talking about how to take care of yourself when the unexpected and challenging happens. I recently connected with some of the women in my audience and they shared that the new year so far has been tough and not only caught them by surprise but has been really really challenging. I was inspired to talk about this because while their challenges are real and painful they aren’t lying down and allowing themselves to break - each woman shared hope. I’m dedicating this episode to them.
It’s easy to just react and sometimes even fall apart when the unthinkable and unspeakable happens to you. If your new year is off to a challenging start, this one is for you too.
In this episode, you will learn:
✔ 2 of the most important things to do when in a crisis
✔ 7 Helpful tips to help you process easier
✔ 4 Impactful ways your support circle can show upDownload The Unexpected Resource Guide!
Check out a few of the episode highlights:
[1:58]: There are a few things that you can do when the unexpected happens. The first thing and one of the most important things is to be present…
[3:13]: Healing is not linear. Emotions and feelings. They're not checkboxes that you can check off on a sheet to say that I've experienced pain, I've experienced suffering, I've experienced grief, and now I'm done and I can move forward…
[5:55]: Set up an auto-responder on your mobile phone as well. And the way that you do that, and I think it's really cool, is you set up a "do not disturb" on your phone…
[11:18]: You can journal or write a letter to yourself or others. You don't have to send it. I think that this is really helpful for those who are experiencing grief…
[14:07]: I really want to take a moment to just talk about your support circle. Sometimes your support circle can do the best they can, but unless they are licensed professionals, then they're very often not going to know what the right thing to say or how to fix your situation…
[16:07]: Be upfront about what you're able to provide and what you're not and ask them, what do you need from me?…
[18:08]: And so if you're not familiar with Berne Brown, you can definitely look up her podcast, read her books, find her Ted talks and listen to those. She is a powerhouse when it comes to discussions on vulnerability…
