Are you truly being present in your own life? In this episode, Heather discusses the power of your attention and being present in life. Time is flying by, are you slowing down and intentionally being present? In a world that constantly demands our attention, what can we do to regain control?

Have you ever thought about trying yoga but were intimidated by all the advanced poses? Maybe you just didn't have the time to commit? Maybe you've done it on and off but have a hard time staying consistent. I've been the type of person who thought yoga just wouldn't work with my life. But as today's Overcoming Together podcast guest, Namie Rohack, founder of Tranquil Lotus Yoga. puts it, if you're breathing, you're doing yoga! Namie is passionate about making yoga accessible for all, sharing the gentler side of yoga, bringing diversity, showing all the different aspects and how they can benefit you.  We move past the stigma surrounding yoga and dig into what it actually is and the benefits it has, not only physically but also mentally.   We discuss some ways that you can start incorporating meditation throughout your day, even a minute at a time to help you destress and refocus.   I’m excited to start incorporating what I learned into today's podcast episode into my life knowing that it doesn't have to be super complicated or time-consuming and I hope you are as well!

From selling drugs to advocating against them. Today we are joined by the author of 11 Felonies, Paul Wait. Today’s episode comes with a trigger warning as we discuss some heavy topics included but not limited to, drugs, abuse, alcohol, addiction, suicide. 11 Felonies intimately brings its readers along as the author (Paul Wait) recollects his younger years. From the first time, he smoked weed at the age of 11 to getting arrested for selling drugs.    Throughout the book, he confronts things such as bullies, addiction, divorce, loss, and mental health issues.   After getting arrested and watching his loved ones fall victim to drugs and alcohol, he turned his life around and is now advocating against drugs like benzodiazepine and other substances.   He educates us on the silent benzodiazepine epidemic, shares how therapy has changed his life, how he fought to change his life trajectory, and what he’s learned along the way.  Thank you for listening and for your continued support!

Feeling stuck? Underqualified? Before you completely throw in the towel, let me ask you this question. Since when did we have to START as an expert? Like seriously? When did that become a requirement? Imposter syndrome and self-doubt can be absolutely dream-crushing.     I've got news! Unless you are LITERALLY lying or playing the game Among Us, you can't be an imposter. You can't be an imposter while you're learning. We all have to start somewhere.    What would happen if we shifted our mindset to take pride in learning instead of ashamed of it? It's amazing how far we can get if we don't let the bump in the roads turn into roadblocks.    I hope this episode will inspire and motivate you to keep going or even get started! Keep pursuing your dreams. Let the momentum of each step push you to achieve your goals.    Follow Overcoming Together On Instagram!   Want to start taking charge of your life but not sure where to start?

Ever deal with negative self-talk? One way or another, we all have a form of an inner critic. This episode aims to teach us what to do when we hear that little voice telling us we will never be good enough. That very same voice that gets you all riled up and then immediately makes you feel guilty for getting upset.  Joining us on the podcast today to help us better understand this topic is my friend Karolina Repela! A life coach, health coach, and sleep specialist! She provides practical tips and steps we can take to face our inner critic.  New episodes are released every Thursday so don't forget to hit the follow button to be notified when they are uploaded!    Follow Overcoming Together On Instagram!   Click here to book a free call with Karolina!

A huge part of this podcast is actively seeking to understand other people's perspectives and struggles. Even if the topic is something that is typically avoided. This episode is the first in a subseries called, "Uncomfortable Conversations."    I would like to give a trigger warning as this episode is about self-injury and may be uncomfortable or disturbing for some listeners.   I believe it's extremely important to talk about it. There are so many misconceptions about self-injury.   To help us better understand this topic, we have Karen Vincent back on the podcast! If you've been with us for a while you will remember her from episode 6, "Creating Healthy Habits." You guys loved her in that episode so I'm really excited to have her back today!   She is a licensed mental health therapist for over 20 years. She is a certified life coach and health coach. Throughout her career, she worked with many people who have struggled with self-injury as well as done intensive studies with DBT therapy as well as other extensive training.   This is one of those episodes that are important to listen to even if you yourself have never experienced this. Karen gives excellent advice on how to better understand someone in your life who is struggling with self-injury or even if you just want to educate yourself more on the topic.   If you made it this far, thank you so much! I know that these conversations can be uncomfortable but I truly believe it is crucial to have them and I applaud you for listening and educating yourself more on this topic.    New episodes are released every Thursday so don't forget to hit the follow button to be notified when they are uploaded!    Got Questions for Karen?

How do we unlearn the lies we've been told? Or the lies we've told ourselves? We often attach these lies to our identities, causing us to build the foundation of our worth on sand instead of solid rock.  Can we shift our mindset around the past?  How do we forgive ourselves? I hope today's episode will help you answer those very questions as we dive into the conversation around mindset, personal development, forgiving ourselves, healing from past mistakes, and finding purpose in our pain. Without our pasts, we wouldn't be where we are today. You are strong and capable of anything!  It's time to unlearn the lies.
