Decluttering expert Tracy McCubbin shares insights on becoming more intentional with our belongings, letting go of the past, the impact of clutter on our lives, finding happiness through connections, and the dangers of overgiving and resentment.

Do you minimize your negative past experiences?  Or do you have selective memory, where you only remember the good from a painful relationship or time in your life? Almost like hyper-positivity with past experiences? Do you feel tempted to return to these toxic relationships or experiences? If you’re nodding your head, you are not alone. I see this in many of my therapy clients, and I figured if it is happening with them, maybe you are experiencing this, too.  In this episode, I am talking about euphoric recall – what it is, why it’s dangerous, and how to protect yourself from falling back into old, toxic patterns or relationships.

Today's guest is Rainier Wylde, a man who has lived many lives, from managing a Fortune 500 company, to becoming a psychotherapist, to helping people navigate the human soul.  I found Rainier on Instagram - what he wrote about resonated so much that I invited him on the show. We largely talk about the messiness of being human -- dating unavailable people, our shadow selves, infidelity, grief, and so much more.  Rainier has such a gentle soul, and I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

Have you ever marveled at how some people turn heads simply by entering a room? Or at how easily some people set boundaries and stand firm?  Or at how others freely speak their mind without the worry of judgment? These are all examples of real self-confidence, and in today’s episode, I am talking about what self-confidence is, where it comes from, what cuts it down, and five simple ways you can build more self-confidence.  Many people think we are either born with confidence or we aren’t. While we are born extroverted or introverted, no matter how you interact in the world, self-confidence is something you can build, and we can always build more of it.  Read the show notes for today's episode at terricole.com/490 This episode is sponsored by Green Chef.
