Don't Cut Your Own Bangs ep. 43 with Tanorria Askew! After speaking on a panel together for Hive Indy, I was struck by Tanorria's mix of authenticity and humor. In this week's episode we talk about her career in corporate America, taking a leap of faith to audition for Master Chef Season 7 ... spoiler alert - she made it, and coming home to Indy to combine her passion for for creating connection and building communities around the dinner table. We talk about what it means to take a leap of faith, what it feels like to tell the truth, and knowing when to say No and when to say Yes. PS, this episode will be best savored by keeping notepad and a snack handy.

About a month ago, I was feeling a little restless and overloaded with life’s responsibilities. ⁣ ⁣ While working side by side at Cafe’ Patachou (…remember those days?), Jen Petro suggested I take a solo-retreat. ⁣ ⁣ I remember thinking, “Huh? Just go somewhere by myself, for myself, for no other reason than I want to?”⁣ ⁣ It sounded indulgent, a little selfish, and OH SO NECESSARY. Saying yes to myself in this way changed my life. Truly. ⁣ ⁣ Self-care for me this week means using more compassionate, less anxiety inducing language.⁣    🤍stuck at home >> having a staycation⁣    🤍feeling lonely >> becoming a better friend to myself⁣    🤍feeling isolated >> on a retreat ⁣ ⁣ Telling myself I’m on a retreat has dropped my stress level and helped me feel more settled in an uncertain time. ⁣ ⁣ PLEASE NOTE: These examples are based on my privileged position of being physically healthy, able to work from home, and feeling safe.⁣ ⁣ If this is not where you are at this time, taking a solo-retreat may feel more appealing when the storm passes, the dust settles, and we’re able to be in each other’s company again.⁣   Enjoy!

One of the hardest things to remember when we are challenged or trapped in anxiety is reminding yourself that there are multiple truths existing at once. ⁣ Finding something to look forward to or celebrate (especially when it's hard to find) could change your life.⁣ Think of it like an epsom salt bath for your brain.⁣ Today's episode is about finding value in growth. And how doing so could be one of the best things you could ever do for your mental and emotional well-being.⁣ Over the last few years I’ve noticed a trend in my life:⁣ 1. Set a goal⁣ 2. Accomplish the goal⁣ 3. Then create a new goal…⁣  ⁣After doing this repeatedly, I started to notice that I wasn’t feeling any better after step 3. If anything, I was feeling more stressed!⁣ There are valuable levels of stress. For example - when you exercise:⁣ 1. Warm up⁣ 2. Max out⁣ 3. Cool down⁣ Celebrating a win after hitting a goal is like giving your brain a mental cool down and floods your brain with all the feel-good chemicals like serotonin and dopamine. ⁣  ⁣Even if the win is - "I made my bed today."⁣                                “I put pants on."⁣                                “I finally organized my sock drawer."⁣  ⁣ And if you’ve been looking for a good excuse to grab a cupcake, light a candle, and throw confetti - this solo-cast can be your invitation to the party.⁣ Maybe you aren't in the mood to celebrate today and that's okay! But maybe you can find a better feeling thought to reach for right now... what a relief that could be. ⁣ If relief is what you need, I hope you find some here. ⁣ Thank you for listening.⁣ Ways to connect with me: Instagram Facebook Pinterest   Resources just for you: Treasured Journal Treasured Tribe Unleashing You Relationship Course

Last June at 13 weeks pregnant, I experienced a miscarriage. The physical, mental, and emotional toll the experience took on my husband and myself was heavy. I knew shortly after this was a story I wanted to share and needed to tell, in part for my own healing (I'm an external processor). I also felt this was my way to honor the grace that had been given to me. I now recognize that - in the early stages of healing - part of my recovery was credited to a group of nurses who came into my hospital room, took my hand, looked me in the eye and shared their story. Their generosity was like a salve to my heart, and likely the only thing I could've handled hearing.  Not - "It'll be okay."  But rather - "You're not alone." If this is a message you need to hear please know - You are not alone.   It was also equally as important for me to share all of the confusing shades and colors that came out of this experience. Not just the obvious grief, but the way it brought my husband and I closer together. The way we used inappropriate humor to laugh through our tears, and how it informed the choices we made moving forward. Thank you for being on this journey with me. We're in this together.

Where do baby goats, farmer's markets, and fighting food scarcity in Indianapolis meet? One woman ---> Erin Peckinpaugh. Erin, is bravery personified. Upon reflection, it's clear that she trusted an internal knowingness that her career path needed to change in a major way- AND she didn't gloss over her accompanying experiences with uncertainty and doubt. When we're in the midst of a major life transition, it's nearly impossible to see ourselves as brave because feeling terrified is such a big part of change. What encouraged her to push through was the story of a young boy who with a patch of dirt and a handful of seeds, fed his neighbors and shortly thereafter, his community.  If you've been thinking about making a change in your life, you may want to keep a journal handy for this episode;)  Ways to connect with me: Instagram Facebook Pinterest   Resources just for you: Treasured Journal Treasured Tribe Unleashing You Relationship Course
