— Dr. Addy Wissel
Continuing the conversation about quitting and shedding, this week I talk about knowing when something is truly out of alignment or something we just don’t want to do or are afraid to do because it is hard, stretches us, or feels uncomfortable.
Read MoreDo you like to do things right and even perfect? Does it bother you to not do things well...the first time? Do you hang on to plans, ideas, goals, commitments because you don’t want to be seen as a quitter, or because you paid for an experience, or because you feel ashamed, or because you don’t want to let yourself down?
Read MoreThis week’s episode is live and ready. Is your turkey thawing? This is a new 2020 stressor for me. Who new a turkey was so high maintenance? This year, though, it is no surprise that holidays and gatherings will look a bit different. And while we will find new and creative ways of celebrating, there is no doubt that this season may bring a different kind of sadness and stress for many.
Read MoreOn the heels of Veterans Day, this week TGD honor’s those who serve and have served our country. This goes beyond the soldiers and extends to their families, especially their partners and spouses, who are often called to lean into the uncertainty and adversity, and even put their immediate goals on hold.
Read MoreFinding yourself tired of the negativity, criticism, and blame that seems ever present? Whether in social or mainstream media, magazines, conversations in the workplace and around the dinner table, or gestures connected to road rage, it feels like things are a little too tense and we all need help!
Read MoreOkay, the world feels heavy. Whether the election, pandemics, virtual learning, online dating, job loss, illness, or anything else has you down, know that you aren’t alone. I felt compelled to do this type of episode because I, too, was feeling the weight of the world, even with my habits and skills in place.
Read MoreNamaste? Downward Dog? Reiki? Chakras? Anyone else heard of these but wondered what they are and how or if they really work? Anyone else totally down to try anything at this point because 2020? Me, too.
Read MoreStruggling to find joy in your personal and professional life? Wondering how to take the first steps into launching your own business, idea, or opportunity? Looking for ways to leverage your gifts and talents?
Read MoreOctober is Breast Cancer Awareness Month! Anyone else find the experience of a mammogram a bit unnerving for many reasons? Same. From making the appointment, to being squished, and then waiting for your results...it can all be stressful.
Read MoreTo date, I have heard from so many women who have experienced stress and burnout in their lives. For some, these moments have served as an impetus to try something new and for others, the experience left them feeling stuck
Read MoreWomen are susceptible to burnout and it can occur at any season in life.
Read MoreHave you ever wondered why others seem to be smiling more frequently, laughing more deeply, or having more fun than you? If you recall the first episode, I described one of the biggest indicators of my burn out was my loss of joy.
Read MoreWill I have to lay on the couch? Will my therapist just tell me what to do? What if the clinician and I don’t “click?” If I go to counseling, does it mean I am “crazy?” Our mental health is important, especially right now when so much of our life feels a bit off course, disrupted, or unpredictable.
Read MoreDo the Sunday Scaries have you down? Are you struggling to get your work, life, and values were out of alignment, and “bucking up” was no longer an option for you?
Read MoreIs your to-do list growing, but you feel stuck and don’t take action? Do you find yourself hypnotized by the spinning wheel on your laptop, rather than accomplishing the must-do’s on your list? Are there so many things that need your attention that you find it hard to take any action at all? Me, too. I see you.
Read MoreWho’s feeling off balance? Online work and school got you feeling overwhelmed? You, too? When we are feeling stressed, we don’t always think before we speak and we may unintentionally hurt, criticize, or minimize ourselves and others.
Read MoreCan you imagine physically leaving your home, family, and country in order to hit reset on life and challenge yourself?
Read MoreI don’t know about you but working out hasn’t always been something I enjoy. Especially working out in public. No. Never. Not for me. I was too insecure about my gym outfit, knowledge of the gym equipment (what do all those machines really do?), and body. All of this coupled with mixed messages of what to eat - who knew some people refer to bananas as “sugar sticks,” I just didn’t think working out and feeling good in this way was for me.
Read MoreHave you ever felt called to pursue your family’s trade, craft, or profession? Have you wondered if leaning into this calling would lead to deeper joy?
Read MoreFeeling called to do something different? Some more? And not something more as in “let’s add more to your plate,” but more...something more joyful, more meaningful, more creative, innovative, satisfying? Remember, this podcast emerged from my own “nudge” to do more.
