If you've ever believed that morning routines are to prep us for work, should leave us "productive" or give us an edge, this episode is for you.

Mornings get a bad rap. They get associated with waking from much needed sleep, rushing, or heading into productivity mode off the bat. Think about it- when you see a commercial that focuses on mornings, it's two different sides of the spectrum. You don't have to log into your zoom call from your stationary bike at 6am, and you can have more joy than dragging yourself to the coffee maker. In this episode, I'll explain why mornings hold so much potential if we shed some of our preconceptions about how terrible they are.

A great quote Brene Brown posted this week said "Caution: If you trade in your authenticity for being liked, you may experience the following: anxiety, depression, addiction, rage, blame, resentment, and inexplicable grief."

In this week's episode, I'll share my story of learning and accepting this part of my identity, and how that impacted my anxiety, depression, and eating disorder.

In this week's episode, I'm talking to my one and only- and by that, I mean my coach Phoebe Mroczek. Podcaster, author, and transformational strategist, when I found Phoebe online I knew that she was the coach for me. What I didn't know is how coaching would take me beyond the achievements I desired, but ask me to evaluate the journey along the way. Tune in to learn about what it was like to work with a coach, and the differences between individual and group coaching experiences.
Speaking of coaching, if today's episode left you energized and ready to start your own self-love journey, I have just the place to start.

Anyone with a uterus can testify that our bodies and minds are not the same week to week- that's the magic of the menstrual cycle. In today's conversation with Jennifer Fay of Rooted Ground, she teaches us about what's going on internally during those different phases, how to care for ourselves during each of those times, and also discusses the power of knowing our bodies.

In the last episode, I talked about the emotional roller coaster that goes with a global pandemic; now, what happens when you put several together people in a home while on that roller coaster ride? Today I talk about just that topic with Shannon Moyer-Szemenyei, alternative holistic counselor, artist, doula, and author. How can we make communication a little less fuzzy during this delicate time? Tune in to learn more.
*Please note: this episode was planned and recorded prior to the current racial injustices and protests; thus, it only touches on our personal experiences with the health pandemic and quarantine. As a podcaster, I intend to amplify black voices on the topic of racial injustices and will continue to share resources from black speakers and wellness practitioners. *

This pandemic has flipped life (as we knew it) upside down. While the way the impact affects us can look different, most of us are experiencing a similar roller coaster: the grief cycle. Grief does not just happen after a death, but any change or end to something that played a large role in our lives. From routines changing to separation, we've had a lot of change in the past 2 months. In today's episode I talk about why we're grieving, what that looked and felt like for me, and what lessons I've gotten from all of this.
This week I chat with Jessica Rylee, Transformational Life Coach. On the coattails of last week's episode, we continue to chat about the moon phases and how they might influence our self-care. This episode, we dive specifically on the practices that can be done during the different phases to get in tune with ourselves and the energy of the world around us.
At the beginning of this pandemic, we had to give ourselves a little grace. Grocery stores had empty shelves, gyms and studios closed, and our schedules were turned on their heads. Understandably, our daily habits and commitments took a back seat while we sorted life out. The good news is- getting back to our healthy habits isn’t rocket science – It’s actually psychology. On May 22, psychologist and coach, Diana Fuller, will break down the research so you can get back on track and recommit to your physical and mental health goals. You will walk away with an effective plan to help you stay healthy and happy.
This is a 60-minute interactive event on Zoom. Links will be sent to you upon registration. Register at this link
Have you found yourself fascinated by the moon and it's phases? There's a reason for it!

Would you consider yourself a flexible person? When you're asked to make a decision, do you look to others or look within? Today we'll be talking about agreeableness- or how cooperative and sympathetic we are.

We'll also touch on how the spectrum of this trait can thrive during social distancing.

Staying at home doesn't mean that we have to miss happy hour!

What makes life worth living for you? When I first started attempting self-care, I took this wild buckshot approach- not because I didn't know what to do, but because I didn't know enough about myself to choose the right fit. One of the biggest steps to that was to identify what my real values were and ask myself whether or not they were guiding how I was living. This took the sweat out of a lot of major and minor life decisions! At the end of the episode, I'll walk you through an exercise to define your values.

The process of choosing our self-care can feel like another chore if we aren't sure what "self" we're really caring for. Trust me, I know from experience. As a compulsive self-care shopper, I didn't find out what worked for me until I took the time to understand who I am, without the messages about who I should be. In this next phase of Making Self-Care Stick, we'll dive into the different aspects of ourselves that can give us clues for what will sustain our physical and mental health. First, let's talk about why this journey is the foundation to happiness.
If this show or message resonates with you, there's plenty from where that came from! Each Saturday I email my own personal blogs to my email list, investigating the day-to-day struggles and revelations in the world of self-care.

Last April, I opened up about my journey healing from my long history of disordered eating.

Before we get into the Yardwork Series of this season, I wanted to revisit why Watered Grass is here in the first place. Shame and lack of information are two of the biggest reasons people do not seek help for their mental health or wellness. Hopefully some of the conversations on this show have helped to bridge that gap. In this week's episode, I share my thoughts on why talking about mental health is important, and where the show is going next.
