Alive & Well – Burnout, Anxiety, Nervous System, Productivity, Time Management, Somatic Tools, Work-Life Balance

We all share a universal human need to be loved.  And sometimes we can feel pressure to do (or have) certain things in order to feel accepted by the people we care about or look up to.    I get it – self-doubt, imposter syndrome, comparison, fear of judgment – all this stuff will take a mile if we give it an inch.  So, we’ve gotta be really discerning about what (and whom) we allow to validate us as women.   In today’s episode, we explore the only two options for seeking validation and approval – externally or internally. Listen in as I explore what it means to seek external validation vs. internal validation, and how we can be more intentional about what’s guiding our self-perception and worthiness.   P.S.

Our intuition is our superpower.  Women’s brains were created with unique abilities to quickly integrate our intuition and rational thinking.  It’s a God-given gift.    Yet so many of us are patterned to look to external references to guide our lives, that we’ve become disconnected from the wisdom of our intuition.    When we’re not familiar with the guidance that comes through us, it can be hard to discern the voice of our intuition.   In today’s episode, I coach you through some tips for reconnecting with your intuition and quick practices to help you discern whether the voice you’re hearing is your intuition, or if it’s actually fear or your ego talking.   TAKE THE PERSONALITY PATTERN QUIZ - Personality Quiz 1-ON-1 COACHING: From Insight to Outcome - Life Coaching with Michelle CHECK OUT MY FREE 5-STEP MORNING ROUTINE FOR MOMS: My 5-Step Morning Routine MOTHERHOOD VILLAGE FB COMMUNITY: The Motherhood Village MOTHERHOOD INSTAGRAM: @michellegrosser.coach “I love The Motherhood Podcast!” ← if that sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing our show!  This helps us support more women, just like you, on their motherhood journey.  Click here, scroll to the bottom, tap to rate with five stars, and select “Write a Review.”  Then be sure to let me know what you loved most about the episode!— >>> 💌 DOWNLOAD THE NERVOUS SYSTEM RESET GUIDE 💌 <<<

If you've ever been on a diet, you know how overcomplicated our relationship with food can get.  But healthy eating doesn't have to be complicated.   Victoria Yates is an expert in helping you become the healthiest version of yourself without dieting, tracking calories and macros, or restricting the foods you love.   In this conversation, Victoria shares how intuitive eating teaches us to fuel our bodies in a way that allows us to show up as our healthiest selves – mind, body, and soul.   Three things you’ll learn in this episode: How intuitive eating differs from dieting Why as moms, our relationship with food and our bodies is so important How to love our body even when we might not like how it looks To connect with Victoria, head to: Website: Victoria Yates Instagram: @nondiet_rn Podcast: The Redefining Health Podcast Intuitive Eating 1-Day Journaling Guide   “Our body image plays such a huge role in our relationship with food. The cultural message is if you don't like your body, then the answer is to lose weight or change your body. It actually has nothing to do with how our body looks, and everything to do with how we think about our bodies. No matter what physical changes we've gone through, we can still have a good relationship with our bodies.” – Victoria Yates    SHOW NOTES: 076 Show Notes TAKE THE PERSONALITY PATTERN QUIZ - Personality Quiz 1-ON-1 COACHING: Coaching with Michelle MORNING ROUTINE FOR MOMS: My 5-Step Morning Routine COMMUNITY: The Motherhood Village LET’S HANG ON THE ‘GRAM: @michellegrosser.coach   “I love The Motherhood Podcast!” ← if that sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing our show!  This helps us support more women, just like you, on their motherhood journey.  Click here, scroll to the bottom, tap to rate with five stars, and select “Write a Review.”  Then be sure to let me know what you loved most about the episode!— >>> 💌 DOWNLOAD THE NERVOUS SYSTEM RESET GUIDE 💌 <<<

In order to actually create new thoughts, behaviors, feelings, and emotions, we must access our somatic intelligence.  Somatic = relating to the body. It’s one thing to conceptually understand how you want to show up in your life, but it’s a whole other ballgame to actually be able to do it in light of the patterning of your nervous system. Change and growth that’s focused only on the mind, i.e., cognitive learning, will only get you so far because you’re leaving out the rest of your body from the neck down. Listen to this episode to learn how to train your body to show up more powerfully for life!
