Are you choosing your vision and the life that you want or the goal that you want, or the experience that you desire? OR are you gonna choose to listen to the story that's telling you that you don't deserve it and that you can't have it, and that it's not available to you for whatever reason? You have a choice. If you wanna change, you have to change your story. In this bonus episode, I share an IG Live replay that focuses on the importance of changing the stories that are holding you back.  Here are the key takeaways:  1. Identifying Stagnation Patterns: The three common ways people become stuck in life – self-neglect, self-sacrifice, and self-sabotage. Recognizing these patterns is crucial for breaking free and pursuing our true desires. 2. Power of Stories and Beliefs: Our personal stories and beliefs shape our behavior and success. Sharing their own experience, they highlight the transformative impact of rewriting a story to align with ease and flow, fostering greater fulfillment and impact. 3. Mindset's Role in Action: A shift in mindset is portrayed as a catalyst for action and goal achievement. By challenging negative beliefs, upgrading stories, and embracing a positive perspective, listeners are empowered to take charge of their narratives and pursue personal growth and success.

In this episode, I want to talk to you about something we all struggle with -  self-love and self-care. It can be tough, even when we know what we should be doing. But here's the thing: it's crucial that we give ourselves permission to accept where we are in our journey. We need to get curious about why we feel the way we do. The practice of self-love, compassion, and care starts with actively tending to our needs. We must check in with ourselves, listen to what we truly need, and then have the courage to act on it, even if it feels uncomfortable or goes against popular opinion. It's about having our own backs and showing up for ourselves every single day. Remember, you deserve love and care, so don't hesitate to give yourself what you need. Here are 3 practices that you can start to incorporate into your day to lean into feeling and embodying more self care, love, and compassion:  Set intentions every morning and align behaviors throughout the day accordingly. Engage in mirror work, focusing on self-love and speaking words of affirmation. Engage in activities that bring feelings of love, support, vitality, fulfillment, and happiness without fixating on specific goals or milestones. Give these practices a try and feel free to connect with me for further exploration of your own self-care and compassion needs.

In today's episode, I delve into a topic that's close to the hearts of many successful women out there - self-care. As high achievers, we often struggle to prioritize our own well-being amidst our demanding roles, responsibilities, and relationships. But here's the key: self-care is not a time management issue; it's a priority management one. In this episode, I guide you through the art of incorporating self-care into your busy schedule by creating micro-moments throughout the day.  Here are the key takeaways:  Micro-moments of self-care can help us experience the benefits of self-care even when we're busy. Savoring the first three sips of a morning beverage is a simple micro-moment of self-care that can help us slow down and connect with our senses. Taking three deep breaths before getting out of the shower is another easy micro-moment of self-care. Putting the fork down between bites of food can help us appreciate our food more and support our digestive process. The goal of self-care isn't to add more stress but to create practices that are beneficial for us. Micro moments of self-care can be simple and accessible, and they can add up over time.

Do you intentionally put yourself on your To Do List? If not, chances are that you are neglecting your needs. I've seen many women struggle with making time for themselves because they fail to create the necessary conditions for it to happen. That's why I suggest intentionally creating space in your day, every day, to tend to your own needs. By consistently dedicating time to yourself, you build a sense of safety around asking yourself what you need and then proactively tending to those needs, rather than waiting until you're burnt out or sick to react.

Recently, I was on a call with a group of women to plan an upcoming retreat that we will be co-hosting in St. Lucia in October. We got on the topic of Self Care and one woman brought up the need for "Soul Care" and my ears perked up! What hit me was that Soul Care is really about nourishing our nervous system in order to create the conditions to be more grounded and have more balance, ease, and peace in our lives. There is nothing wrong with traditional self-care practices, but in this episode, I encourage you to also include more Soul Care into your daily routine and I provide a few examples. Here are the key takeaways: Understand the difference between Self Care & Soul Care Create space to check in with yourself often to get clarity on what you truly need The Nourished Life Pillars, which I go into detail in my Stress Free Success Guide include prioritizing stillness, movement, nourishment, nature, self, and mindset development.

Mental Health Awareness Month is a great time to focus on self-care practices, however, I recognize that many women face real challenges in accessing the resources and support needed to prioritize their mental health.  For some, it is having unrealistic expectations at work, while others have a lack of support from loved ones in their personal lives and some do not have the financial security to take time off from work to honor their mental health.  In this episode, I share some examples from my own experience and from women that I’ve worked with to highlight the challenges and offer some solutions that may be available to women who are struggling with prioritizing their self-care needs when they don’t have the support they need from loved ones and at work.  Here are the key takeaways:  In our personal lives, it can be challenging to prioritize self-care due to a lack of support from loved ones when it comes to helping with household chores, and tasks, and taking care of others.  In our professional lives, it can be challenging to prioritize self-care due to unrealistic expectations, inflexible schedules, and a lack of mental health resources available.  Setting boundaries and having uncomfortable conversations may need to happen in order to protect your peace and create space for you to tend to your mental health.  Expectations from others and policies at work should be considerate of the current state of stress, overwhelm, and burnout that many women are faced with and offer more support, grace, flexibility, and resources.  If you are in the position to help a woman who needs support - pick up her kids after school so she can go to therapy without stressing out or talking to HR to offer mental health resources or even pay to have someone clean your friend’s home or deliver some groceries - it could make a big difference.   Resources:  Stress-Free Success for Professional Women Guide - Free resource to help professional women with busy schedules and demanding roles & responsibilities reduce stress, prevent burnout, and increase productivity.  Click Here Make Time For Your Mental Health Webinar - Virtual training for Professional Women struggling with stress and burnout.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month and this episode is more like a candid conversation about to reduce the stigma around mental illness.   I’ve had my own journey with my mental health and it has been paved with a lot of courage, vulnerability and acceptance. Not only do I share key statistics, but I also share a bit of my story, along with some ways that we can all collectively break the stigma around mental illness. Ultimately, reducing the stigma around mental illness is a collective effort from individuals, communities, and the world at large.  Here are the key takeaways:  Mental health is just as important as physical health. The stigma around mental health and mental illness needs to be addressed before strategies can be discussed. One in four people in the world will be affected by mental or neurological disorders at some point in their lives. 48% of respondents in the United States feel embarrassed to admit they need help with their mental health. It's important to encourage open conversations, educate oneself and others, use inclusive language, support mental health initiatives, and seek help and support. Reducing the stigma around mental health requires a collective effort from individuals, communities, and the world at large. Here are 5 ways that you can help break the stigma around mental illness:  Encourage open conversations and create safe spaces for discussion around mental health. Educate yourself and others about mental health by reading books or articles, attending workshops or podcasts, and changing myths and conceptions surrounding mental health Use inclusive language to shape attitudes around mental health. Support mental health initiatives by contributing financially, using your platform, donating your time or services or products, or attending workshops and classes. Seek help and support for your own mental health by checking in with yourself and seeing how you're feeling and what you need.

Making time in your day to put joy first can be a game-changer! I've had many conversations with people who prioritize work and responsibilities over their own joy and happiness and this can lead to burnout and stress. Prioritizing joy has been shown to reduce cortisol levels (the hormone associated with stress), boost immunity, enhance productivity and creativity, and improve overall well-being. In this episode, I share why and how I started to prioritize joy in my life, plus I share some tips to help you make a case for creating more space in your life for joy. If you are struggling to prioritize joy in your life, ask yourself these 3 questions to get some clarity on how to incorporate more joy into your life: What hobbies have I neglected due to my busy schedule that brings me joy? Who are people who bring joy into my life that I haven't seen or spoken to in a while? Where are places that bring me joy that I haven't been to in a long time? Based on these questions, you should have a clear idea of things to do, people to spend time with, and places to go that will spark more joy in your life. ### If you are a busy woman who is struggling to prioritize your physical and mental health, check out my free guide "Stress Free Success for Professional Women" - www.SelfCareForProfessionalWomen.com Let's connect on Instagram or LinkedIn! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/allisontibbs/support

Last weekend, I had a meltdown because I realized she was neglecting my relationship with myself. I went on a drive to the beach and sat on a log watching the ocean and birds while reflecting on how important it is to pour into ourselves every day. While it may seem like we don't have the time or we convince ourselves that we will find time later, the truth of the matter is...if we don't make the time, we are sabotaging ourselves. The best way to prioritize your relationship with yourself is to schedule solo time in your calendar as you would any other appointment or meeting because what we prioritize we make an effort to do. Here are three steps to start nourishing your relationship with yourself: Look at your calendar and schedule solo time for yourself to do something that brings you joy and makes you feel good and resourced. Create a self-love bucket list of things to do. Be bold and prioritize your relationship with yourself, even if it means setting boundaries and potentially upsetting others. Let me know how it goes and how you lean into your relationship! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/allisontibbs/support
