Just For Today

Send me a text message, if you have enjoyed this weeks episode, I would love to hear from you! Hey Hey,It's been a while since my last episode. In fact, I haven't published an episode of Just For Today since early November '24 when life became overwhelming, and I had to step back indefinitely.In this raw and vulnerable update, I share what's been happening behind the scenes – the heartbreak, the emotional roller-coaster, and the days when simply keeping my head above water has been a struggle.I recorded this a couple of weeks ago and waited for my intuition to tell me when to hit publish. Today felt like that day. My hope is that by opening up about my journey, it might help or validate someone who's also struggling, reminding them that they are not alone or losing their mind.At this point, I'd normally say ‘Enjoy,' but today, I'll simply say... Speak soon.❤️ Steph xxIf this conversation resonates with you, please share it with someone who could also benefit from these insights.

Hey Hey!In this weeks episode of Just For Today, I, Steph Grainger, therapeutic mentor, delve into the often-misunderstood concept of toxic positivity. We've all heard the mantras: stay positive, keep smiling, and look on the bright side. But what happens when this relentless pursuit of positivity becomes a mask for genuine human emotion?Join me as I explore the dangerous edge where positivity tips into toxicity, dismissing the full spectrum of our feelings. I'll discuss a recent encounter with a client who believed that positive thinking was the only acceptable approach to life's challenges. Together, we'll unpack the notion that encouraging a constant state of happiness can actually lead to the suppression of 'negative' emotions, creating a cycle of self-blame and shame.Through this episode, titled "The danger of Toxic Positivity," we'll confront the reality that genuine positivity does not involve ignoring the difficult days but embracing them as part of our human experience. Emotions are our messengers, and to deny them is to deny ourselves the opportunity for true healing and growth.I'll share personal insights and strategies for recognising and processing these emotions, emphasising the importance of working through feelings rather than wearing them as a badge of honour. And for those of you who might be on the receiving end of toxic positivity or unknowingly dispensing it, this conversation aims to foster understanding and authentic connections.Just for today, let's commit to being present in our lives, to truly listen to what our emotions are trying to tell us, and to support each other through life's ups and downs without judgment.If you're enjoying the podcast, please share it with someone who might benefit from our talks.

Hey Hey!On this week's episode of Just For Today, join me, Steph Grainger, as we venture into the often misunderstood waters of our emotional tides and the role hormones play in them. In an episode I've fittingly titled "Let's Stop Blaming Our Hormones for Our Feelings," I take a stand against the age-old narrative that women's moods are at the mercy of their hormonal cycles.As I navigate the perimenopausal seas myself, I share my personal reflections on the amplified emotions that come with the ebbs and flows of our monthly cycles. But here's the thing – while our hormones may turn up the volume on our feelings, they are not the puppet masters of our reactions. It's time to debunk the myth that women are held hostage by their biology and to embrace the power of self-awareness.I delve into the importance of tracking our emotional triggers throughout the month, not just during the premenstrual phase. By understanding the root of our intensified feelings, we can address underlying issues such as the need for appreciation or the fear of rejection, rather than dismissing them as hormonal whims.This episode is an empowering call to action for all women to honour their emotions as messengers, to engage in self-reflection, and to communicate their needs effectively. It's about reclaiming our narratives and rewriting the script on how we perceive and talk about women's emotional health.For those seeking to deepen their connection with themselves and to navigate life with a clearer understanding of their emotional landscape, this conversation is a beacon of clarity and empowerment. And for anyone interested in my "Steph in Your Pocket" program for personalised support, all the details can be found here.So just for today, let's commit to being present in our lives, to truly listen to our bodies and minds, and to appreciate the now.

In a society where it's all too common to hear phrases like "You made me feel this way," I want to challenge you to reclaim your power by acknowledging that we are the masters of our own feelings and reactions.Join me as I deep dive into the concept that while we cannot control the actions of others, we have complete autonomy over how we process and respond to those actions. I share personal anecdotes and client experiences to illustrate the importance of self-reflection and healing when we find ourselves triggered by someone else's behaviour.This episode is a powerful reminder that while we may not be able to change others, we have the capacity to change our response to them. And I would actively encourage you to examine your own wounds and triggers, rather than placing blame or demanding change from those around us.Whether it's navigating the complexities of social media interactions or re-evaluating long-standing relationships, Steph offers tangible tools and wisdom to help us take ownership of our emotional landscapes. She prompts us to consider recent situations where we've felt affected by someone else's actions and to explore ways to heal and strengthen our boundaries.As always, I am eager to engage in open, constructive conversations with listeners who are ready to share their insights or respectfully challenge perspectives.

Hey Hey!Have you ever wondered how the limiting beliefs you hold, first took root and why they can be so tricky to  overcome?In this weeks episode of the Just For Today podcast, I share (with permission) an experience that I had with a client recently, which involved us working together on the the feeling  of not being good enough and ultimately the fear of rejection.Being able to understand how that feeling was created is the key to working with it and beginning the process of healing.I would love to hear what you think to my musings in this episode as well as any topics you would like me to cover.In this episode I mention my offering 'Steph In Your Pocket'. My intention for this offering is to provide support in person as well as in your pocket at times when you feel you need it most. This really is the best of both worlds and means you always have someone in your corner to share, someone that gets you and will be your safe space to air, verbally vomit, discuss and dissect life with as well as celebrate your wins with you too.If you think this would be beneficial to you in your life, I would love to chat to you more. You can connect with me on the socials,  HERE on Instagram, and HERE on Facebook, and not forgetting my VIP WhatsApp community that you are welcome to join HERE as well as good old fashioned email steph@stephgrainger.co.uk .EnjoySteph xxMusic licensed from RILISound18th December 2023If you're enjoying the podcast, please share it with someone who might benefit from our talks.

Hey Hey! A few weeks ago I attended a workshop hosted by Kirsty Gallagher called "awaken your inner witch", and my goodness what a day that was! It is difficult to put into words how this day transformed me, but in this weeks episode I give it a good go, because I believe it is time for women to take back their power and stop playing small.Women and their powers have been suppressed for far too long and our phases of womanhood (menstrual cycles, menopause, 'ageing') have been turned into a negative and I am no longer here for that! I am ready to stand in my power, do you want to join me!?I mention a few people in this episode and would love to share their information below for you:Kirsty Gallagher - Lunar guide and spiritual mentorLisa Lister - The Sassy She Marie Frost, - Women's health Coach & Nutritional Therapist and the founder of Nutricore.  As always, I would love to hear what you think about my musings as well as any topics you would like me to cover.You can connect with me on the socials,  HERE on Instagram, and HERE on Facebook, and not forgetting my VIP WhatsApp community that you are welcome to join HEREEnjoySteph xxMusic licensed from RILISound20th November 2023If you're enjoying the podcast, please share it with someone who might benefit from our talks.

Hey hey!"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me" was something that was said to me many times during my childhood, and whilst I wholeheartedly disagree with this statement, I do believe that the power of words and how we interpret them, is the key to our own personal healing.In this weeks episode I delve into how another persons words/actions/behaviours can only have a less than helpful effect on us because of how we  interpret it and if it 'triggers' us there some healing available to us.As always, I would love to hear what you think about my musings as well as any topics you would like me to cover.You can connect with me on the socials,  HERE on Instagram, and HERE on Facebook, and not forgetting my VIP WhatsApp community that you are welcome to join HEREEnjoySteph xxMusic licensed from RILISound6th November 2023If you're enjoying the podcast, please share it with someone who might benefit from our talks.
