I've mentioned it before, but sleep is a very important part of self-care and self-love. And I don't mean just the amount, but the quality. If you're like me though, sleep can be elusive.

You got a lot of thoughts swimming around in your head at the end of the day and those thoughts can keep you up at night.

So how do I quiet them?

Hello dear listeners. Join me today as I re-visit a topic from earlier this month about being a people-pleaser and becoming a soul-pleaser; someone that still loves and considers others, but not at the expense of their own happiness.

When you realize that the only person whose happiness you can change is your own, that can be very liberating and set you down along the path of self-love towards the person you were always meant to be.

'Tis the season for some major disruptions in your routines! Join me today as I share some tips and tricks to do more than just survive the holidays and actually enjoy them.

No matter what time of year it is, anytime your life is shaken up by some festive force, you want to come out of it feeling at least as good (if not better) than when it started.

If you can apply even one of the techniques I talk about today, then you'll be in a better position when the holiday (whatever it may be) is over and you'll be able to look back fondly at the memories you made instead of thinking you need a vacation.

Hello dear listeners! Although my entire podcast has self-love and self-care at its center, I felt called today to take a deep dive into what the term "self-love" means.

There's a big difference between "self-love" and "self-care" and while they are related, "self-care" is the easiest or the two...and it's through self-love that we can grow.

And remember, I'm here for you, if you want to get started down your path or need some help along the way.

Hello listeners, it's time to talk about something that I feel like we all have to deal with at some point or another...managing difficult feelings.

We can't escape our own feelings. It's ok to feel. We're designed to feel. Every emotion is valid.

Our natural response when these so-called "negative emotions" rise up is to push them away or try to distract ourselves from them, but I'm here today to share with you how actually experiencing those emotions can lead to a lot of personal growth.

Join me today as we do a deep dive into dealing with darker emotions and add 5 tools to your emotional toolbox to help you during those times.

Hello dear listeners. Join me today for as I relate the how I came across something that really spoke to me and I just had to share it with you.

I had thought that my day was going to go one way, but that changed, and that change opened my eyes to the belief that life wants the best for me. And I believe this is true for all of us.

Now does that mean that life will unfold as you expect it to? The way you planned it? Well no, but it will present you with opportunities if you can start looking at life as something that is not happening to you but for you.

I've also got a special message at the end of this episode - an invitation to ask me anything at all - simply email me at info @ jody myciak dot com. This is your chance to take a deep dive with me into topics that matter to YOU.
