There are some revelations that you hit you so hard like a ton of bricks. They make so much sense, but maybe you were unaware of the concepts. That was my experience with learning about the law of mirrors. If you're frustrated with life or others, ask yourself where are you doing this to yourself in your own life? If others are letting you down, where in your life are you letting yourself down? Not following through with holding a boundary with family, not following through with promises you made to yourself. Address those areas by taking action and watch your life begin to reflect back to you.We also discuss the Law of focus: what you focus on expands and I catch you up on why I missed dropping an episode last week.Oh! And Happy 40th Birthday to me!!! Yay!See you next week!Connect with me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stacymichellemccray

Mind blown, because baby, that depression would typically resurface at least twice a year, hitting me like a ton of bricks.

Have you ever felt like you are just being tossed and turned by all that is happening around you? Just me? Ok. LOL I'm sharing some of the most powerful tools that have helped me to steady my soul, body and mind. The powerful pause is such a game change for showing up in alignment with you desire to be. We also talk about how to release an unhealthy attachment to external events or triggers. The delicate balance between holding space for emotions and feelings with out adversely entangling your identity in them. We talk about who you really are which is not the non-stop chatter that plays in your head that offers advice and narration. You're the one who listens to the chatter and more importantly the one who NOTICES the chatter. When you can develop these skills, peace that surpasses understanding begins to be a default set point.

This episode is just everything & was one of the most nourishing & life giving convos I've had. Sandy is a Journalist & Wellness Coach who interviewed famous celebrities and has been a writer to Shonda Rhimes' publication, "Shondaland," which is linked here! https://www.shondaland.com/author/237893/sandy-cohen/ Sandy was considered highly successful from the outside looking in, achieving her dreams of being a celebrity journalist (she has some awesome pics btw). But she found that she was engaging in unhealthy habits to cope with the stress of the job & and she knew something was off. Sandy shares how she learned to Redefine her values while implementing critical self care practices. She learned that Happiness is an inside job, absent of the external accolades brought on by a successful career. We also discussed that sometimes we have to unwind how society has defined success. I love that Sandy shared “Life isn't an emotional one way trajectory.  But about creating resilience.” Connect with Sandy here: https://linktr.ee/YouKnowSandy?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAabE853ryWjYjBwMF3EnVAqaGdZyukePlcf6CyOR7vZrX-6Z4wGR-v4xJn0_aem_mW_xG7pVctoIQ3IwKNAn2w Sandy's Inner Peace to go Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/inner-peace-to-go/id1593335074

Hiiiii!!! Sharing what it was like to deal with postpartum depression for a second time which was much more severe than my first round. I felt hopeless and like an empty shell of a person. This was one of the most difficult times of my life, however, the duality of knowing God was with me despite not feeling God's presence was how I came up with my postpartum depression devotion title "Light in the Darkness." It was also where I began to unravel the beliefs and psyche that was no longer aligned with who I was called to be in this life. I hope this episode encourages you and helps you to feel less alone.

I realized recently that I've never really shared my full postpartum depression journey, which is funny because that was one of the driving forces behind why I started this podcast several years ago. On this episode, I share how I came to terms with the fact that I had postpartum depression after having my first baby in 2016, the isolation and struggles. I share how motherhood really brings to the surface those wounds, pains, issues etc. that we've stuffed down somewhere to kept us "functioning" prior to taking on the responsibility of a whole human. If you know anyone who is dealing with or has dealt with postpartum depression including yourself, please encourage them to seek professional support and share this episode with them.

Money shifts are EVERYTHING. Reframing money as a soldier going to work for you over something you just use to buy things, for purchasing power, or to you pay your bills can change the trajectory of your financial picture. When we shift our perspective in this way, we can truly start to build sustainable wealth. The financial industry complicates things, but if we just start to break it down into relatable digestible ways we can start to feel empowered and equipped to make financial decisions. On this episode, we introduce some terminology about the economic market in an understandable way. We also provide an overview about how to become a player in the investing world including the role of a brokerage and the difference between a stock and a bond. I hope this conversation sparks your interest into the investing and financial world and that you start seeing money as not only a way to pay your bills or buy the things you need but a gateway to building wealth.

Money is always moving, but do you know where yours is going and coming. Its a must to secure the bag, know exactly where your money is going, and make empowered money decisions. This episode builds off of last weeks episode where we created our balance sheet. Now we are creating our income statement to identify where money is coming in, how much, and where is money making an exit. Once we can pinpoint our inflows and outlfows we can decide if we want to change what or how much of our money comes out for certain categories. You will feel equipped, empowered, and money smart after listening and implementing the guidance in this episode. Disclaimer: This episode is not financial advice. This is financial education.

We are mid-year 2024, where there is no greater time to truly know where you stand money wise. This episode is for you if you are ready to take charge of your money health. We discuss how to assess your current money health through the use of a balance sheet. How to construct your own personal balance sheet like businesses do with an explanation of all the balance sheet components. We also explore how to increase your net worth and why setting a monthly money date night or day date with your money is vital to your success as a human, hitting your goals, and establishing your money blueprint.

My nephew Kiah talks about how he pivoted from years of playing basketball competitively, going from a Division One baller in a basketball family to pursuing his dreams of being a creator and gamer. Being an introvert in a family of extroverts and stepping into being his fully authentic self. He shares his journey of coming to the decision to hang up his basketball shoes and chart his own path which also represented a crossroads of choosing to make decisions his way based on his desires.

I'm sharing my real time healing practice of honoring past versions of myself, and how some of those past versions no longer serve me, but I love them anyway.  I walk through thanking myself for my past self, how I stepped up and showed up on even my darkest days, and how I made the decision that I wouldn't settle for where I was at.  Intimacy with yourself is so important in order to fully heal and evolve into the best present version of you.  The impact of conversations you have with yourself can serve as a cornerstone to your self-evolution, self-love, and self-respect.  During this episode I specifically touch on honoring who I was during the first few years of motherhood as well as how some of the smallest micro shifts in our daily lives can have an exponential impact on who we become.  Enjoy!

Man, I've had so many revelations over the past few years but realizing that I have some MAJOR major issues with setting boundaries hit me like a ton bricks. On this episode I share how that revelation happened, how I'm at the beginning stages of setting boundaries which is an important life skill that many of us did not learn at school, home or any other social infrastructures you were a part of. I hope this episode sparks boundary setting in your own life or encourages you to keep doing so if you've already started. I also share the importance of enjoying the journey of life your on and staying present.

This healing episode is so so good y'all. My amazing friend Nena vulnerably shares her journey of infertility, pregnancy loss, healing, postpartum anxiety, and listening when God gave her the download to start her own business Brown Baking x3 which hosts baking classes for kids while also giving parents a much needed break. She walks us through the story of her pregnancy loss, how it almost broke her physically and mentally. How she started blaming herself for her infertility challenges, becoming obsessive with getting pregnant and eventually getting pregnant with her twins.  She shares how it was being overcome with fear once she was pregnant with her twin girls. We also discuss the power of directing your thoughts, practicing short bursts of mindfulness, journaling and other short practices that can significantly shift the trajectory of your life, well being, motherhood journey and relationships. These are 1 degree shifts that we can't underestimate. We also dive into what made her reach out to the support of a therapist and how transformative its been for her. We also talk through how the pandemic changed us and how therapy can support the human transformation pre-pandemic to the present version of ourselves  Nena also shares about pushing past the fear of starting her own business with 3 small kids, being a wife and having a full time job, and listening to her divine calling which turned out to be so aligned with her calling.

Sooo I wasn't planning on a reset and break from the podcast, but it was needed.  As someone with lots of enthusiasm, ambition, unlimited dreams, and a full plate I can sometimes over do it which leaves me feeling disconnected to my work. This podcast is my baby and my mission is to use it as avenue to provide a container that allows you to feel seen, worthy of carrying out your divine calling, and equipping you with practical tools to be your best self. This episode provides some context on why I needed a reset and what I'm going to modify going forward so I can keep showing up in my authentic energy.  Glad to be back and I hope this episode inspires you to evaluate any areas of your life that need a reset.  Whether its better work life balance, your health and fitness, your finances, relationships, or motherhood approach.  See you back here next week!

I was so determined to breastfeed my babies. There was something so pure, sacred, and perfect about it in addition to all of the science that supports how beneficial it is for our littles. I was able to exclusively breastfeed my two kids through their first year of life. I introduced solids between 4-6 months, but the only milk they got was my breastmilk until they were about 12-15 months old when I started transitioning them to cow and nut milks. I wanted to share some of the most important advice that helped me accomplish this goal I was so proud of. It takes a lot of work, education, and dedication but it's so worth it in the end. We discuss knowing early hunger signs, building a milk supply and DMER which is a mental health issue associated with milk let downs. You got this Mama! We also discuss that it's more than ok to supplement or formula feed if that's what works best for you and your family.  Link to the haaka: https://www.amazon.com/Haakaa-Silicone-Breastfeeding-Manual-Phthalate/dp/B01F8W7CF0 Link to DMER info: https://www.motherlove.com/blogs/all/what-to-know-about-dmer-or-dysphoric-milk-ejection-reflex Connect with me: Instagram: www.instagram.com/stacymichellemccray Blog: www.stacymichellemccray.com Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/45988431532959

After delivering two 8 plus pound babies in my 5 feet 4 inches frame via two c-sections, I felt like a foreigner in my physical body. I remember looking down at the multiple rolls on my belly, and feeling them touch one another. Going to an office for 9 hours a day, caring for two small kids, and managing life was taking priority over my health and I ended up in a body I didn't even recognize. After a while I got so uncomfortable that a fire lit up. It was a spark that led me down the path of truly figuring out how to transform my body into a Mom Bod I felt sexy and proud in. I share a bit of this journey on this episode. Your physical body does not define you, but elevating your body to a state that you know you are capable of can really boost your confidence and change the way you see yourself and feel and remind you that you are more than a Mama.

The first few months of 2022 have been challenging for me. I've been discouraged, down, battling feelings of hopelessness, and felt myself slipping back into a state of depression at times in this season. I've definitely had some conversations with God that involved a lot of questions lol. But I know that I'm not the only one that has to deal with troubling circumstances, so I wanted to share my approach to facing these challenges.  Life is just hard sometimes, but we don't have to let our circumstances consume us.  We can be intentional around showing ourselves compassion and grace, declaring God's Word over ourselves, and anchoring ourselves in those practices that help us to be the best versions of ourselves no matter what obstacle we are facing.  You are not alone, friend.  I pray this episode encourages and points you back to Jesus.

It takes a village to not only raise your kids but also get the support you need as a Mama to feel loved and seen. I look up to my big sister so much and so I'm glad she shares her wisdom with us on this episode. She talks about her fear around having a daughter, how becoming a parent awakens us to how much God loves us, working as a mom in the medical field as a Physicians Assistant while carrying out God's calling on her life on a daily basis, recognizing and dealing with Postpartum anxiety, graduating college and getting married the same day, strategies for preparing to have a baby, and returning to work from maternity leave. I loved watching Tori light up as she talked about her kids. And my favorite part was her approach towards striving for intimacy with Jesus in a way that makes sense given her career and motherhood demands.
