brené brown? hello? my therapist suggested her podcast to me and it immediately made a difference. she put definitions to words that i know and use regularly but without actually considering what they truly mean to me. "the opposite of belonging is fitting in" linked a compilation of her best words truly makes me want to evaluate all the significant emotional phrases we use and compile a definition booklet. i'm yet again one step closer to embodying my authentic self.

Esther perel also helps me lots

I cant say enough good things about Esther Perel!!! She has made such an impact on my life and the world of couple counseling & psychology as a whole. She has two amazing podcasts- “Where Should We Begin” and “How’s Work?” They both showcase anonymous one time couples counseling sessions, but “How’s Work?” is with business partners. It’s fascinating to hear people work through conflicts in real time. Listening to all the stories help me see the bigger picture in my own life and relations, learn about boundaries, and stay in the “both/and” mentality rather than falling into “either/or”. I linked her website here because she also has some books that are even more helpful! My favorite so far is “The State of Affairs”. Her work has greatly contributed to the deepening and enriching of my personal relationships and my life in general, highly recommend 10/10

maintenance phase + if books could kill + we can do hard things + pulling the thread

maintenance phase: aubrey gordon and michael hobbes debunk diet culture myths and dunk on bigots/liars/wellness culture moguls. i love aubrey's laugh it lights up my heart!! if books could kill: michael hobbes and peter shamshiri tear apart airplane bookstore bestsellers. love this one as an english major bc they shit on unfounded or cherry picked research that was manipulated for the sake of profit and bias confirmation we can do hard things: yes it is very millenial and genx coded but it reminds me of my mom in that way. i think listening to older women who have been where i am is so healing. glennon doyle and co. bring on so many beautiful guests (my faves are sonya renee taylor and tricia hersey!!). teaches me so much about love, relationships, communication, embodiment, and authenticity!! pulling the thread: elise loehnen (whose recent book i LOVE) has conversations with authors, mystics, spiritual leaders, and academics about their theories and writing. i have learned so much about myself and the universe listening to these conversations!! very much stimulates my curiosity

Mossyelfie insights

• I accidentally burn my sandwich almost every time I make it. I now crave it burnt. Maybe it’s not an accident anymore. • I’ve dancing my whole life. I dance every day. I sometimes dance very weird and wonder if that is going to affect my kids in a weird way down the line. • I’m an external processor and talk to myself a lot, something I also wonder will mess up my kids. • I generally do what I want and ask for permission later. I’ve been learning over the past decade with my husband that’s not the best way to be in partnership. • Jungian therapy saved my life. • Reconnecting with my spiritually saved my life. I don’t know what it is, but there’s something. • Nature greatly soothes me and is my greatest teacher. • I am grounded yet light. • I remember the day I started self harming. I remember the day I decided to stop. • It’s easier for me to do something for someone else than for myself, but I’ve gotten better with that. • I am very loving. I am very forgiving. I am not naive. • I have fun every day because I am a fun person. • I love people. There were years I hated people. My husband has shown me how to make friendships everywhere I go. • I stay anonymous on here because I’m scared a parent I work with will join one day and see some of my no filter suggestions, i.e. “hard nips.” • I have 5 siblings. We weren’t close growing up. We’re close now even though we live far apart. • The running joke from my childhood is that they never knew where I was. • I was very surprised at the desire to get married and have kids. When we bought a house in the suburbs I had a rather large existential crisis that I became boring. Myself and my life are anything but. • I love being active. I hate living somewhere car centric. I miss riding my bike everywhere. • I’m sober, but not because I was an addict. I wish there was another term for being sober because you were playing out all your emotional issues with drugs and alcohol and it just isn’t appealing now that you’ve healed. • I have a raspy voice, but it used to be raspier. I have nodules on my vocal cords. When I was 8 I was given a silver whistle to blow instead of yell. I didn’t use it. It got worse once I started smoking. My voice is much sweeter now.
