Good Day with Ray

In this quick update, I announce a short break from Good Enough Day with Ray until November 4th due to a busy work week and an upcoming vacation. During this brief pause, I invite you to revisit past episodes, whether it's catching up on missed conversations or reliving favorite moments. With so many great episodes already available, there's plenty to explore and enjoy. Thank you for your support and I look forward to returning refreshed and ready with new content. Tune back in on November 4th for the next episode!

In this episode of "Friday Five," I share a mix of things that stood out to me this week. From a budget-friendly water flosser that upgraded my dental routine to a soothing bedtime yoga practice, I cover some practical favorites. I also recommend the thrilling audiobook *None of This is True* by Lisa Jewell, which kept me hooked from start to finish. For a useful tip, I talk about the benefits of flipping your mattress every six months. Lastly, I dive into my thoughts on *Love is Blind* Season 7 and why this season's drama felt off.

In this episode, I talk about how self-improvement can sometimes be unhealthy for those who struggle with codependency, like myself. Instead of fostering genuine growth, it often becomes a way to seek validation, fix others' happiness, and avoid rejection. I share how this mindset led me to ignore my own needs, take on too much responsibility, and fuel a harsh inner critic. Through therapy, I've realized that trying to "fix" myself to control everything around me only reinforces unhealthy patterns. I hope this episode encourages you to recognize that while self-improvement is valuable, it's important to set boundaries and remember that not everything is yours to fix.

In this episode, we explore how the busy structure of American life makes healthy eating an exhausting challenge. Even with the best intentions, deciphering food labels and researching safe ingredients feels like an extra job on top of work, family, and self-care. Unlike countries such as France, Sweden, and Norway, where strict regulations ban many harmful additives and simplify food choices, the U.S. allows ingredients that are linked to health concerns. This highlights the need for systemic change, pushing for clearer food labeling and better regulations that prioritize well-being. Ultimately, the episode encourages listeners to strive for progress, not perfection, while advocating for a healthier, more supportive food system.

In this episode, we explore the idea that fixing your home doesn't mean you have to lose your sanity in the process. Using the quote, "Fixing yourself won't fix everything, because everything is not yours to fix," we discuss how household tasks can feel overwhelming when the responsibility isn't shared. Many of us take on the burden of cleaning alone, but delegating tasks to others is key to maintaining both a tidy home and peace of mind. We'll talk about how to communicate expectations, let go of control, and encourage family members to contribute. The episode emphasizes that a tidy home is a shared responsibility, and sharing the load can protect your mental well-being.

In this Monday Mindset, I discuss how my addiction to self-improvement stemmed from a desire to control everything around me, thinking I was the problem in every situation. Society often pushes hyper-independence, encouraging us to believe that if we just do more or improve ourselves, everything will fall into place. I share how this mindset led to burnout and the realization that I was using self-improvement as a distraction from accepting that I can't control others. Through therapy, I've learned that I'm not the only factor in my problems and that constantly trying to fix myself won't fix everything. This week, we'll explore areas where we might be taking on too much responsibility and how to find a healthier balance.

In this episode of Good Enough Day with Ray, I share five things that caught my attention this week in our Friday Five roundup. I talk about an eye-opening YouTube video on emotionally immature people, highlighting traits like avoiding criticism and boundaries. I also mention my current go-to, Bare Bones Beef Bone Broth, for its gut health benefits and added protein boost. There's a fun TikTok-inspired cucumber salad recipe that's simple and customizable. Plus, I share my current song obsession, *Pink Pony Club*, and wrap things up with a quirky fact about charging our phones. Detaching From Emotionally Immature People with Dr. Lindsay Gibson Video Link **Cucumber Salad Recipe:** - 1 cucumber (cut into rounds, then quartered) - Soy sauce - Spicy mayo - Sriracha - Everything bagel seasoning - Chili paste - 1 packet of pink salmon - ½ cup of imitation crab - Optional: ¼ to ½ cup of rice for added carbs

In this Therapy Thursday episode, we're talking about something we all tend to overlook—scheduling mental health check-ins. Life gets busy, but if you don't take time to ask yourself, “How am I really feeling?” stress, anxiety, and burnout can sneak up on you. Ray shares simple ways to build self-awareness with daily or weekly check-ins, helping you spot emotional red flags before they spiral out of control. It's like creating a personal maintenance plan for your mind, so you're better prepared to manage life's challenges with clarity. Tune in to learn how these small, intentional moments can have a huge impact on your mental wellness.

Here's a concise 5-sentence summary of your episode: In this Wellness Wednesday episode, we explore the importance of planning rest and recovery to avoid burnout and maintain overall wellness. Ray shares personal experiences with overwhelm and how failing to schedule real rest impacted physical activity, nutrition, and mental clarity. By prioritizing rest, we can stay consistent with exercise, make healthier food choices, and restore mental focus. The episode highlights how planning downtime prevents the shame cycle of "not doing enough," especially for those with mental health challenges like PTSD, anxiety, or ADHD. Listeners are encouraged to schedule rest as a key part of their wellness journey, remembering that "if you fail to plan, you're planning to fail."

In this episode of Tidying Up Tuesday, we focus on simple daily habits to keep surfaces like countertops and tables clutter-free. I share how keeping my dining room table, kitchen counters, and coffee table clear has made a huge difference in how relaxed I feel when I come home. We cover five easy steps: -Creating a drop zone for essentials -Committing to a 5-minute daily tidy -Handling paperwork immediately -Finishing one task before starting another -Decluttering as you go These quick, actionable tips can be done in just a few minutes each day to help create a more peaceful and organized home. Give these habits a try and see how they lighten up your space this week!

In this episode of Mindset Monday, we dive into the transformative power of simple planning. I share personal experiences about how a lack of structure led to struggles with health, finances, and relationships, and how small, intentional plans helped turn things around. We'll explore why planning isn't about rigid control, but about creating a framework that brings clarity and peace of mind. If you've been feeling overwhelmed or out of control, this episode offers three easy, actionable plans you can start today. Tune in and discover how a little planning can lead to big changes!

In this episode, we explore how hormonal changes during the luteal phase can lead to feelings of wanting to quit everything—jobs, relationships, and even hobbies. The rise in progesterone after ovulation often causes fatigue, increased stress sensitivity, and a critical mindset, making everything seem overwhelming. These hormonal shifts can trick us into believing our lives are off track, when really our bodies are just asking for rest. By understanding these patterns, we can learn to give ourselves grace during this time, delay major decisions, and find comfort in knowing these feelings are temporary.

In this episode of Good Enough Day with Ray, we explore the early warning signs of burnout and why it's crucial to listen to your body before it's too late. Ray shares her personal experience with PTSD and the challenges of recognizing exhaustion before it turns into full-blown burnout. We discuss common burnout cues like chronic fatigue, irritability, and emotional detachment, and how ignoring them can lead to more harm. Learn how to spot these signs early and break the cycle of pushing too hard. If you're struggling to balance self-care with life's demands, this episode is for you.

Here are a list of recommended workouts where you can still get 5, 10, 20 or 30 minutes of movement in while dialing back the intensity: - Yoga (Gentle or Restorative) - Pilates - Walking - Low-Impact Strength Training - Cycling (Low-Intensity) - Stretching and Mobility Work

**2-Minute Fixes**—these are perfect if you've barely got any energy left but want to feel like you've done *something*. 1. Put away the shoes at the door. 2. Wipe down the kitchen counters. It's amazing how much better things feel with clean counters. 3. Clear off the dining table—just getting it empty can feel like a big win. 4. Toss any dirty laundry into the hamper. 5. Straighten up the throw pillows on the couch. It's a small thing, but it really makes the space look more put-together. 6. Wipe down the bathroom sink—especially if toothpaste blobs are a thing for you, like they are for me. 7. Gather up stray magazines or books and put them away. 8. Empty a small trash can, like the one in your bedroom or bathroom. 9. Hang up those jackets that got thrown over a chair. 10. Water the houseplants—they deserve some love too.

It's so satisfying. 13. Gather everything off the coffee table and put it away. 14. Clean the bathroom mirror—it's a small thing that can really brighten the space. 15. Fold a couple of pieces of laundry—again, you don't need to do it all. 16. Empty another small trash can—maybe one you've been avoiding. 17. Straighten up your bedside table. 18. Tidy up your pet's toys. They deserve a nice space too. 19. Wipe down the kitchen cabinet handles. These get sticky so fast! 20. Clean the surface of one kitchen appliance—like the microwave or toaster. For those times when you've got a bit more to give, here are some **5-Minute Fixes**: 21. Make your bed. It always makes the room feel better. 22. Organize just one messy drawer. 23. Wipe down the dining table. 24. Fold and put away a load of laundry. 25. Sweep the kitchen floor. 26. Clean the bathroom surfaces—the sink and the counter. 27. Clear clutter from one counter space. 28. Dust a few surfaces in the living room. 29. Declutter the entryway. Even a little effort here makes coming home nicer. 30. Wipe down fingerprints on light switches and doorknobs. If you're feeling surprisingly okay for a bit longer, here are some **10-Minute Fixes**: 31. Vacuum one room. 32. Wipe down all the kitchen appliances. 33. Clean out the fridge door shelves. Just the door, not the whole fridge. 34. Dust the blinds in one room. 35. Organize one closet shelf. 36. Sweep and mop the bathroom floor. 37. Organize part of the pantry. 38.

Today's episode of Good Enough Day with Ray focused on how to honor your natural energy instead of letting your ego push you to exhaustion. I shared five mindset hacks to help during energy dips, including reframing low-energy moments as natural, shrinking overwhelming tasks, and embracing "good enough" progress. We also discussed using energizing self-talk to stay positive and celebrating small wins as a way to respect your journey. These tools are especially helpful for times when our energy is low, like the week before a cycle or after a bad night's sleep. Remember, it's all about adjusting your mindset, being kind to yourself, and recognizing that real strength is honoring where you are today.

In today's *Self-Check Sunday* episode, we explored how to evaluate our goals and intentions without falling into the trap of shame or perfectionism. We discussed how the traditional approach to goal-setting often brings disappointment and how shifting our mindset to "What did I learn from pursuing this goal?" can lead to more meaningful growth. I shared my own struggle with avoiding goals out of fear of failure and how embracing a mindset of "Progress Over Perfection" has helped me view my goals as learning opportunities. We also reflected on how setting goals reveals the barriers in our lives, such as distractions or over-commitment, helping us understand ourselves better. By treating our goals as guides, we can make progress with self-compassion and curiosity instead of harsh self-criticism.

In today's episode of "Good Enough Day with Ray," I share a personal story about a hectic Saturday and how the mindset of "Progress Over Perfection" made all the difference. The day started with a tired mistake—almost washing my hands with toothpaste—and a long work shift that left me feeling drained. After getting caught up in social media scrolling, I felt the day slipping away and battled thoughts of worthlessness and exhaustion. Remembering our theme, I chose to do a 30-minute workout at my own pace and share my experience on the podcast, realizing progress doesn't require perfection. This episode is a reminder that even small efforts are valuable, and what you can do today truly is good enough.

Questions to Clarify Before Finding a Therapist: 1. What specific issues am I struggling with? - Examples: Anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship problems, self-esteem issues, stress, grief. Identifying these helps find a therapist with the right expertise. 2. How are these issues affecting my daily life? - Consider symptoms like sleep problems, difficulty concentrating, emotional outbursts, or social withdrawal. Understanding these helps guide you toward a specialized therapist. 3. Have I experienced past trauma or events that still affect me today? - If trauma is involved (e.g., flashbacks, avoidance, emotional numbness), a trauma-informed therapist may be best. 4. What goals do I have for therapy? - Think about what you want to achieve—healing from trauma, reducing anxiety, managing stress, building healthier relationships, etc. 5. How do I prefer to work through problems—practically or reflectively? - If you prefer hands-on strategies, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) may suit you. If you prefer to explore emotions and past experiences, psychodynamic therapy might be better. 6. Do I need a therapist who understands my identity or life experience? - You may want someone familiar with issues related to gender, race, sexuality, cultural background, religious, non-religious, or other personal factors. 7. Do I want short-term, solution-focused therapy or longer-term, deeper exploration? - Some therapies (like CBT) are more short-term and goal-oriented, while others (like psychodynamic) involve longer, deeper exploration. 8. What type of setting or personality would make me feel comfortable? - Think about whether you'd prefer someone warm and empathetic, or more structured and direct. 9. Am I open to different modalities like group therapy, online therapy, or holistic approaches? - Consider whether you'd prefer individual therapy, group therapy, online sessions, or modalities like mindfulness or EMDR (for trauma). 10. Am I struggling with physical symptoms related to mental health? - If so, you might benefit from therapists who understand the mind-body connection, such as those practicing somatic therapies. 11. Do I want homework or exercises outside of sessions? - Some therapies offer practical tasks (like CBT), while others focus mainly on the therapy sessions. 12. How important is scheduling flexibility and location? - Consider if you need evening or weekend sessions and whether you're open to in-person or prefer virtual therapy. 13. What's my budget and insurance situation? - Decide how much you can spend, and if you need someone who accepts insurance or offers sliding scale fees. 14. How do I usually deal with emotional challenges? - Understand your coping mechanisms (e.g., avoidance, overworking) to find a therapist who can challenge or support you effectively. 15. What's my level of comfort in talking about my feelings? - If you struggle with expressing emotions, look for a therapist who is patient and skilled at building rapport. Bonus Tip: Keeping a Symptom Journal If you're unsure what mental health condition you're dealing with, keep a journal for a few weeks noting: - Emotional triggers - Mood fluctuations - Sleep patterns - Physical symptoms (e.g., chest tightness, headaches) - Thoughts or behaviors that worry you - Situations that cause anxiety or avoidance Having these details will give you a clearer picture of what kind of support you need and help in finding the right therapist.

Welcome to Wellness Wednesday. Today's episode is about how "all or nothing" thinking often sabotages our health journey instead of propelling it forward.

This new segment is called Tidying Up Tuesdays and for today's episode we are chatting about picking out one, small space you can spend 10 minutes Tidying up today.

Mindset Monday: Progress over Perfection Questions to think about for today's episode: Here are five reflective questions you could ask your audience at the end of the **Progress Over Perfection** episode to engage them and encourage personal insights: 1. What's one area of your life where you've been striving for perfection? How could you shift your focus to making small, consistent progress instead?** 2. Think of a task you've been putting off because it feels overwhelming. How could you break it down into smaller steps that feel more manageable? 3. In what ways have you seen progress—no matter how small—in your home, health, relationships, or self-care over the past week? How did it feel to make those small strides? 4. What's one thing you could do for just 10 minutes today to move forward in an area of your life that's important to you? 5. How can you show yourself more grace this week by embracing the idea that *good enough* is enough?

I'm not a mental health professional in anyway. I'm just sharing some of my journey and practices I'm learning along the way.

In this episode, Ray talks about how striving for perfection can look like: Flawless Unrealistic Expectations External Validation Fear of Failure All or Nothing Thinking In part two, she will talk more about what striving for "good enough" looks like.

This is the explanation of the name change of the podcast and the start of the new direction we will be taking permanently or temporarily. We will see.

Today, I'm back to talk about some of my coping skills and how I'm getting help & support with not one but two therapists. I hope to continue posting about these topics. Have a great day.

On today's episode, I chat a little bit about my boyfriend and my therapy session last week and how the therapist suggested I was showing symptoms of having PTSD. This will most likely be a longer series. I didn't have time to get into all the info today. Book I Mentioned: Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving by Pete Walker

This is an episode inspired by some private conversations I've been having. It's come up quite a bit so I'm hoping this could offer one (of many) perspectives you may want to hold around going "no contact".

Today's episode is a recording of a video I put on TikTok about a perspective I have about using the word "family" to describe spiritual communities. I present information about how using this word is typically used in a harmless way and is mostly well-meaning but in some cases can be harmful. It is also a word choice used strategically by some cults. I am not the word police. Continue to use any words you like in your practice and follow anyone you like if they use this word. My intention was to share my perspective and discomfort around it and validate those of us who have weird feelings about it and/or validate you if you've been feeling weird about using this word in your practice. Have a great day. Talk soon.

I'm on a journey to getting out of an absurd amount of debt. As a result, I'm trying a bunch of new things and this one included a tip from a creator on how to save money. In this episode, I tell you what I tried and how I would tweak it next time.

This is my first book review on the podcast. I've been postponing it because I don't think it's a good "first" review but I hope to do more and get better. If you've been looking for a book to read, this one is like Thriller meets True Crime podcast. I listened to the audible version and enjoyed the podcast parts in it. Made me wish they recorded a whole fake podcast to supplement the book.

In this episode, I reference this article a lot to explain the foundation of the belief around twin flames: https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/twin-flames-signs-meaning-and-stages I also describe a tumultuous situation I found myself in from 2013-2021. **Disclaimer: the views and opinions expressed in this episode have no intent of malice against the Twin Flames Universe or its leaders. I mention it only briefly to give a distilled version of why I left the group. The term "twin flame" is widespread and in no way did this group create the term, definition, or belief about. The main intent of creating this episode is to explain how this belief was harmful to me and how it may have caused emotional and mental injury to the person I believed was my twin flame. For this, I'm deeply sorry to him and myself. And I only want to share my experience in case it resonates with someone who is finding themselves in a similar situation to what I was in. Sending lots of love to everyone who finds themselves on a twin flame journey or any kind of twin flame support organization. This relationship can be hard and I understand and have found myself in a similar predicament of desiring support on how to navigate that relationship. I pray you find the love you're searching for which TRULY is within you.

Uranus moved into Taurus in May of 2018 and over a two year time period, you may have experienced a sense of loss, struggle, or isolation. From April 2021 to May 2023, you may have started to think more about how you were giving and receiving. Also potentially, how others were giving and receiving from you. You may have had to look at some poor financial decisons/debt. Some of this could have occurred because you took more than you could give back. This could have been emotionally, mentally, or physically or it came into focus how others were taking advantage of your generosity. From May 2023 - Jan 2024, this could have been a major highlight. Giving, receiving, debt, poor financial planning, selfishness, financial support. Now until 2026, there are decisions that are wanting to be made. This could feel quite urgent and you may feel a burst of energy and courage to make a decision you've been dragging your feet on or just haven't had clarity on how to make this decision because of your mindset/beliefs. This courageous energy will probably be felt most around April 14th-April 24th. If you don't want to make any life changing decisions around this time frame then don't. See a therapist. Talk to a friend. Get some help you postpone this decision because you will be feeling ballsy. Urauns- Jupiter conjunction will last from April 4th - May 7th. Rising Signs and the houses Uranus has been affecting the last 6 years and until 2026: (I've put 2 houses because I use Placidus but you can look at your birth chart to see exactly the degrees Taurus is in your chart.)

In today's episode, I talk about struggling with wanting to scrub the podcast and start all over. This is something I've done in the past and I'm tempted to do, again. However, this morning I asked myself, "What am I hoping to accomplish by this?" "What feeling am I thinking it will bring me?" The conclusion was I wanted to look more put together than I am. I thought taking down a bunch of episodes, starting over fresh, and making new episodes would give me the clarity I am searching for. But then I realized, simply making episodes will give me the clarity I'm looking for and letting people see my messy journey is okay.

Flynn Skidmore's Tiktok Video, Click Here to Watch On this week's episode, I share a video I scrolled across on Tiktok that may have changed my life forever and will at least impact how I process situations in the future. The tool Flynn suggests is to use the question "What" instead of "Why" when situations occur in our lives. Thank you for listening and I hope this conversation added something positive to your life in some way. -Ray

Today is my birthday (Jan 11th) and I've been thinking about popping back on the podcast for awhile to say "hi" and chat for a little bit. In this episode, I let my boyfriend write a list of 14 things he thinks you should know how to do by the time you're 30. I go through them and let you know if I know how to do those things or not. Then, I reflect on my younger 16-22 year old self and think about all the things she wanted, where she thought she would be at 32, and whether I'm any of those things.
