Top of the mornin’ to ya! Today, I’m sitting down with a dear friend of mine who decided to chase after her dreams regardless of what she’s been told. Marica Daniels is an RN, doula and childbirth educator here in Miami who I had the pleasure of working with back during my inpatient days. This episode started out with a discussion on western medicine vs. holistic therapies and somehow turned into a business podcast then back to our experience as Labor & Delivery nurses… It was a whirlwind, but it was GOOD. What are you waiting for? Click that play button yo! “I was torn between doing my responsibility to provide for my children and take care of my household versus following my dreams.”Tune in to hear about:Our shared experiences working at different Labor & Delivery unitsThe differences between western medicine and holistic ideologiesPushing through tough times when there’s no motivation or instant gratification∾ Mentioned:Evidence-based birthMarica’s Instagram∾ Resources:Blog post: https://www.youmightaswellpod.com/podcastOther episodes you'll enjoy:YMAW Ecz-it the Clear Skin ChatYMAW Start a PodcastConnect with me:Website: https://www.youmightaswellpod.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/youmightaswellpod/"Golden by Mona Wonderlick" is under a Attribution 3.0 Unported (CC BY 3.0) licenseMusic promoted by BreakingCopyright: https://youtu.be/D_j6EN3FVGoSupport the Show.

Today's episode was recorded straight outta therapy. I had some really heavy feelings last week of inadequacy and worthlessness, particularly surrounding my career and my future. In this episode, I'm sharing how I processed these feelings during therapy, where I discovered that I had a negative connotation around crying and that I felt I needed to have it all together and be "perfect." If you have a hard time embracing your emotions and vulnerability, this episode is for you. I'll remind you that it's okay not to have everything together all the time."All of these little things that I've told myself over the years have gotten me to this place where now unconsciously, I'm not allowing myself to cry."Tune in to hear about:The heavy feelings I processed in therapy this weekWhy crying is actually great for youHow the things we tell ourselves turn into our daily actions∾ Mentioned:Jordan Lee Dooley∾ Resources:Blog post: https://www.youmightaswellpod.com/podcastOther episodes you'll enjoy:YMAW Win the WarYMAW Read My JournalConnect with me:Website: https://www.youmightaswellpod.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/youmightaswellpod/"Golden by Mona Wonderlick" is under a Attribution 3.0 Unported (CC BY 3.0) licenseMusic promoted by BreakingCopyright: https://youtu.be/D_j6EN3FVGoSupport the Show.

Anyone else experimenting with the latest social media app that’s got everyone in a frenzy? Today I’m chatting about what you can expect from Lemon8, a new content-creating platform created by none other than TikTok’s baby daddy + CEO. I was curious, so I downloaded it and posted a couple of times, but the jury’s still out on whether or not this is going to be a long-term thing for me.“I am seeing a lot of trending hashtags on this app such as #normalpeople and #unaesthetic which I LOVE because I think it shows that people really want this app to be sort of a fresh start so to speak”Tune in to hear about: Lemon8 features, pros, and consWhat people are saying about the new social media appHow to stay on the right side of social media∾ Mentioned:Lemon8Olipop∾ Resources:Blog post: https://www.youmightaswellpod.com/podcastOther episodes you'll enjoy:YMAW Be Still, My HeartConnect with me:Website: https://www.youmightaswellpod.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/youmightaswellpod/"Golden by Mona Wonderlick" is under a Attribution 3.0 Unported (CC BY 3.0) licenseMusic promoted by BreakingCopyright: https://youtu.be/D_j6EN3FVGoSupport the Show.

Here’s a quick one for ya! I went on vacay recently and have noticed with recent trips that there’s a common occurrence: I have a hard time really being present and soaking in the moments, which makes it go by too fast or just miserable for me altogether! Tune in to figure it out with me - what’s it gonna take to really feel fully present in the moment and not get caught up in the details?!“If I’m not stopping the moment to take a photo or video, I’m eliminating the chance to enjoy the same moment in the future.”Tune in to hear about: What being present actually meansHow I’ve botched my vacays in the past with excessive worrying or jumping from place to placeWhat Dr. Google says we should start doing to stop the cycle and actually enjoy our PTO∾ Mentioned:Headspace∾ Resources:Blog post: https://www.youmightaswellpod.com/podcastConnect with me:Website: https://www.youmightaswellpod.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/youmightaswellpod/"Golden by Mona Wonderlick" is under a Attribution 3.0 Unported (CC BY 3.0) licenseMusic promoted by BreakingCopyright: https://youtu.be/D_j6EN3FVGoSupport the Show.

She has taught me so much and her business is such a huge reason for why I’m in this podcast space today, and I’m just so excited to share her light with y’all. Enjoy!!“It takes more mental energy to do that and I feel like that's why people don't wanna go there. They'd rather just tick the box, do the habit, get it done; but that's why so many people stay in the same cycles, the same patterns of burnout, overwhelm - they're not getting to the root.”Tune in to hear about: How I found Hustle Sanely (spoiler alert - through the HS podcast)The five keys to Hustling Sanely and using them as the foundation for living your life in a peacefully productive wayWhat to do when goals “bleed over” and how to create margin in your life∾ Mentioned:Peacefully Productive Journal, by Hustle SanelyHow to Stop Not Reaching Your Goals (S.W.I.T.C.H.

Heyoooo! Today I’m discussing just how often I tend to overcomplicate the things in my life that could have been oh so simple (spoiler alert: it’s often). I’m really trying to simplify as much as possible because I know it’s going to make me a better human to my loved ones, and hopefully I’ll be able to stop looking at every little thing as a “big project” and actually focus on what I love. Chat soon!“I usually strive for A++ and anything less makes me angry, makes me criticize myself, and makes me feel like I have no self worth.”Tune in to hear about: Recent projects I’ve unnecessarily overcomplicatedWhy my therapist thinks I have a tendency to complicate my goalsHow I’m using my word of the year to work on simplifying my life∾ Resources:Blog post: https://www.youmightaswellpod.com/podcast∾ Other episodes you'll enjoy:YMAW Take InventoryYMAW Go On A Hot Girl Walk∾ Connect with me:Website: https://www.youmightaswellpod.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/youmightaswellpod/"Golden by Mona Wonderlick" is under a Attribution 3.0 Unported (CC BY 3.0) licenseMusic promoted by BreakingCopyright: https://youtu.be/D_j6EN3FVGoSupport the Show.
