    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.

    #80 The danger of Toxic Positivity

    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.
