WANTcast: The Women Against Negative Talk Podcast

The words we choose to describe the time we're in *matter.* Saying that this is our "New Normal" implies that the Now is the Forever…which it's definitely not. In this episode, we'll unpack handling OVERWHELM during what I propose we call the FOR-NOW NORMAL - questions to ask yourself and ways to shift your mindset, plus prioritization strategies to help create structure and order when so much feels up in the air.

Making friends as an adult is hard. And keeping those friendships strong when life gets in the way? Even harder. Life is always going to keep handing you (or your friend) full schedules. Geography and time zones – or sleep schedules – won't always be on your side. The world will throw you curveballs you NEED to answer to, whether you like it or not. Here's how to stay connected when life gets in the way...however it is that life gets in the way.

Over the last couple weeks, I've been asked many times what I "think of all this," how people can take care of themselves during the Coronavirus pandemic, and what my general take is on living day-to-day life when it looks and feels anything but normal. Instead of posting a million times to Instagram or spreading my responses out over emails, texts, DMs, and social media updates, I figured it might be useful for you if I recorded this – for the sponges who need help with sponging, for the people who are struggling finding normalcy and motivation at home, and everyone who's dealing with a little bit of everything.

We've all heard the cliché that "you need to love yourself before you can love others." But that's only half the story. It's time to reclaim the word "single" and redefining it not as something negative or lacking, but as a state-of-mind you carry with you, whether you're in a relationship or not. ~~~~~~~ SHOW NOTES: Website Instagram Leave a review on iTunes!

It's the most-used WANT exercise for a reason: it's unexpected but it WORKS. Going through a major life transition, had a stressful month, or just wanting to take preventative measures to ensure you don't have a *complete* meltdown when it all eventually feels like too much? You might be in need of a Planned Freak-Out. In this episode we'll talk about the origin story of the PFO, why it's so different than any other goal-setting or self-reflection exercise you've done, and we'll break down how to set yourself up for success in your own structured breakdown. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SHOW NOTES: Website Instagram Leave a review on iTunes!

Doesn't it sound sexy to say what you're "leaving behind" in the new year? To make a list of what you're going to stop doing in 2020? But it's not that simple. 80% of us fall short on our goals in just a few weeks and use that hiccup to completely lose momentum. In this episode, we'll dive into two simple but deceptively impactful exercises to do at the start of the new decade: one to help you reflect on how far you've come (and make peace with former aspects of yourself you might be ashamed of), and one to help usher you into a brand new year (or ten). ~~~~~~~~~ Show Notes: Read the post for the formula HERE on WANT Website Instagram Leave a review on iTunes!

You've probably heard the phrase "consistency is key" - in business, in marketing, in fitness, in habit-forming. Consistency is basically the golden ticket to any and all kinds of success. Or is it? This episode breaks down an alternate view on consistency, and is for those people who feel defeated when things aren't going according to plan or they're thrown off their game (we reference seasonality - but this is an episode to bookmark no matter what time of year). ~~~~~~~~ SHOW NOTES: Website Instagram Leave a review on iTunes!
