Me Myself and HER

In today's episode of the Me, Myself, and HER Podcast, Alicia Caldwell, LPC, discusses part two of her enlightening four-part series inspired by the 2024 Olympic Games. Have you ever watched Olympic athletes endure intense pain and discomfort to achieve greatness? From injured sprinters to athletes battling muscle strain and fatigue, the Olympics revealed that discomfort is unavoidable in reaching the top. These athletes didn't let their pain define them; instead, they used it as fuel to push beyond their limits. In this episode, Alicia reflects on the lessons we can draw from Olympians: Growth is inherently uncomfortable. Just like Olympians who endure the physical discomfort of training to reach peak performance, we, too, must embrace the discomfort of mental fitness routines that build our mental muscles for the marathon of life. Discomfort is not our enemy—it's a sign that we are stretching beyond our comfort zones and making strides toward our full potential. Episode Takeaways: Build Your Mental Muscles Intentionally: Just like physical fitness, mental fitness requires deliberate effort. Engage in regular practices that strengthen your “mental muscles” and enhance your resilience. Learn Mental Fitness Techniques: While many people know how to improve their physical fitness, few have been taught effective mental fitness techniques. Understanding these strategies is crucial for overall well-being. Observe the Masters: Champion athletes show us the power of extensive mental and physical training. Watching them push through pain and adversity offers valuable perseverance and mental toughness lessons. Incorporate Mindfulness into Your Routine: Mindfulness is a powerful tool for mental fitness. For practical strategies, refer to page 168 of Alicia Caldwell's book, The Journey Back to Self, where she introduces mindfulness and its benefits.   Ready to Unlock Strategies for Mental Fitness? --->Invite Alicia Caldwell to speak at your school, organization, or event.

Welcome back to the Me, Myself, and HER Podcast! Today, Alicia Caldwell, LPC, shares part one of a four-part series of lessons she learned from watching the 2024 Olympic games. Champion runners know one thing for sure: stay in your lane. The moment they start trying to run someone else's race, crossing into another lane, or matching someone else's pace, they risk everything they've worked for—disqualification, collisions, or even serious injury. This rule isn't just for the track; it's a powerful lesson, especially for us as women and girl leaders striving to lead and succeed in this marathon called life. Episode Takeaways: Mental fitness is just as important as physical fitness in terms of endurance. Know what you are running toward, know what you are running for, and stay in your lane. Comparison is the thief of joy and will sabotage our ability to live authentically. Trying to run someone else's race will cause us to stumble and hinder our progress. Focus on your lane and the journey you have been assigned to. Do you want to shift the atmosphere at your organization, school, or event to one of mental empowerment?

Welcome back to the Me, Myself, and HER Podcast! Today, Alicia Caldwell, LPC, shares why her intended August break from podcasting didn't happen because of an accountability-infused conversation with her husband. There are times when our self-accountability is lacking, and that's when our accountability partners really come in handy. They may be family and friends or a hired professional like a business coach or therapist. Accountability partners are a valuable asset on our journey to living up to our potential and beyond. Episode Takeaways: 1. Negotiating on our promises to ourselves is holding us back from our purpose and potential. 2. Accountability partners are crucial because they remind us of our commitments and push us to stay on track, ensuring that we follow through on our promises and achieve our goals. 3. Self-accountability is essential for personal growth and leadership. By consistently showing up for ourselves, we build trust in our abilities and are positioned to show up for those looking for support, guidance, and inspiration.   Do you want to shift the atmosphere at your organization, school, or event to one of mental empowerment?

In this heartfelt episode of the Me Myself and HER Podcast, Alicia Caldwell, LPC, speaks directly to you about enduring and overcoming life's challenges. Using the powerful metaphor of weathering a storm, Alicia offers compassionate advice and practical strategies to help you stay the course when faced with adversity. Episode Takeaways: INNER PEACE: To nurture inner peace during challenging times, incorporate daily periods of rest and restoration, such as mindfulness practices. Set aside 10-15 minutes each day for meditation. Focus on your breath and be present in the moment. This practice helps reduce stress and anxiety, fostering a sense of calm and inner peace. POWER: Your power is enhanced when you take good care of yourself. Make self-care a non-negotiable part of your routine. Schedule regular breaks, engage in activities you love, make healthy choices, and seek support from friends or your therapist to promote mental, physical, and relational well-being. PROSPERITY MINDSET: Mindset is key to overcoming challenges. Adopt a prosperity mindset by focusing on the small wins even while coping with difficulties. Acknowledge and celebrate each small victory along the way. Recognizing your progress boosts your confidence and motivation, making it easier to tackle the next step.

Welcome back to the Me, Myself, and HER Podcast! Today, Alicia Caldwell, LPC, discusses an essential aspect of self-care that is often overlooked: the power of saying no. In a world that constantly demands our time, energy, and attention, learning to say no is not just about setting boundaries; it's about prioritizing our mental and emotional well-being. This episode will explore why saying no is a vital form of self-care and how it can transform your life by freeing up space for what truly matters. Episode Takeaways: Understanding the Importance of Saying No: Discover why saying no is essential for being a good steward of your mental health and well-being. Say no to overcommitting: We've all been there—taking on too many tasks and responsibilities. It's important to recognize when we're spreading ourselves too thin and to say no to additional commitments that could lead to burnout. By doing this, we ensure we have time for self-care and relaxation. Say no to people pleasing: The need to constantly please others can be exhausting and detrimental to our needs and desires. By saying no to people-pleasing, we prioritize our inner peace and well-being. Do you want to shift the atmosphere at your organization, school, or event to one of mental empowerment?

Welcome back to the Me Myself and HER Podcast. In today's episode, we're diving into a powerful and liberating truth: not everyone will like you—and that's okay. In a world where we often seek validation and approval from others, it's easy to lose sight of our values and self-worth. This episode is all about shifting that focus inward and embracing your authentic self. This bite-sized dose of inspiration is a small but mighty reminder that other people's opinions about you are not as important as your own. Episode Highlight: Your uniqueness is your greatest asset. Embrace who you are, flaws and all. When you show up as your true self, you attract people who appreciate you for who you are. Stop trying to fit into molds that were never meant for you. Celebrate your individuality and let your authenticity shine. BOOK EVENT REGISTRATION: The Journey Back to Self Book Signing and Author Chat on Saturday, July 13, 2024, in Bellevue, NE.

In today's episode, “Self-Love versus Self-Care,” I want to expand on a conversation started during a virtual reading of my book, The Journey Back to Self. During the event, I touched on the difference between self-love and self-care because sometimes the terms are confused. This episode explores the two terms further. Key takeaways include: Self-love is valuing, accepting, and caring for yourself unconditionally. Self-care refers to intentional actions and practices that promote mental, physical, spiritual, and relational health. Self-love and self-care are closely related concepts but have distinct meanings and practices. Self-love involves how we think, feel, and act toward ourselves. Self-care practice does not automatically equate to a deep level of self-love. Improving self-love can ignite a greater commitment and consistency to self-care practices. Help from a licensed mental health provider can be helpful for those wanting to enhance their self-love and self-care.

In this episode titled “Craft Your PLAN,” I present a straightforward process to prioritize the cornerstone of your success strategy: YOU! While it might seem obvious, many remarkable professionals excel outwardly but struggle with internal challenges such as self-doubt, perfectionism, mental exhaustion, negative self-talk, and fear of success. I've experienced this firsthand. For years, I pursued success through external means, neglecting myself in the process, which took a toll on my mental, physical, and relational health. During this episode, I encourage you to pause and reflect on what you need more or less of in your life. But let's not stop there—craft a PLAN, move forward intentionally, and integrate self-care and relational well-being into your success strategy. Key takeaways include: P—Prioritize Self-Care: Make self-care a priority in your daily routine. Whether it's meditation, exercise, or spending time on hobbies you enjoy, carve out dedicated moments for self-nurturing activities. L—Listen to Your Body: Pay attention to your body's needs. Get enough restful sleep, nourish yourself with healthy foods, and take breaks when you feel overwhelmed. Your body communicates its needs—listen and respond. A—Allocate Time for Relaxation: Schedule regular periods of relaxation into your schedule. Relaxation could mean a short walk, deep breathing exercises, or sitting quietly. Give yourself permission to unwind and recharge. N—Nurture Relationships: Invest time in meaningful connections with others. Social support is vital for emotional well-being. Reach out to friends and loved ones and prioritize quality time with those who support and inspire you. I would love to engage in a live discussion with my Me Myself and HER Podcast listeners.

In this episode titled "Embracing Self-Love,” I explore the concept of self-love and its impact on our journey toward success and fulfillment. While the path to self-love may present challenges, understanding its significance is key. Sometimes, we don't need to unpack the reasons behind our struggles with self-love; instead, we can focus on practical strategies for nurturing it. Key takeaways include: Self-love is foundational for success in various areas of life, including careers, relationships, and personal growth. It's not something we have to earn or qualify for; rather, it's about consistently showing compassion and care towards ourselves. Authentic self-love emanates from within and influences our thoughts, actions, and connections with others. Our worthiness of self-love is inherent and not dependent on external factors such as appearance. Regardless of past experiences, we can learn and cultivate self-love over time.

In this episode, “The Cost of Self-Care,” I explore the reality of investing time and energy in daily self-care. Many people expect self-care to always be fun and enjoyable, but the truth is, some practices that are good for us don't feel good. Discomfort is normal as we start with an exercise regimen, therapy, mindfulness practices, or saying no to people and things so we can say yes to ourselves. But the question is, are you willing to invest in your health and well-being? Are you willing to push past the discomfort and stay the course? So many people start and then stop prioritizing self-care prematurely because they aren't informed about the realities of leading a self-care-rich lifestyle. Although it can enhance the mind, body, spirit, and relationships, it may initially feel like a dread as you make it a seamless part of your daily life. Episode takeaways: Self-care requires an investment of time. The opportunity costs of self-care. The discomfort of self-care.   If you haven't already, rate, review, and follow the podcast to stay updated on future episodes.

A new year often sparks desires to shift and reassess what we have been doing in life, career, and relationships. It's a welcomed reason for us to pause and reflect on what's working and what is not. In doing so, we have the opportunity to declutter our lives, tend to our minds, refresh our relationships, and redefine what success looks and feels like. Whether we set goals or create resolutions and intentions, the key is having clarity about the destination and the path we will take to get there. We may not have it all figured out, but with less mental, physical, and relational clutter, the path forward is clearer. Join me, Alicia Caldwell, in a discussion about my one word for the year (RELEASE) and the meaning that word has for me as I nurture the woman I am during this season of my life. Let's unpack and explore RELEASING things in life that are keeping us from embracing our highest good and unlocking our full potential.

In today's fast-paced world, the importance of rest often takes a back seat to our busy lives. In addition, we encounter myths about rest that may prevent us from fully embracing its benefits. So, let's dive into some myths you may have heard or still believe and uncover the truth about the power of rest as a form of self-care. Join me, Alicia Caldwell, in a discussion about reclaiming the power of rest for our mental well-being. During this discussion, I'll address three myths that may be holding you back from the rest and restoration that you need to function at optimal levels in your life, career, and relationships. Myths Discussed:  Rest is a form of laziness. Rest is a sign of weakness. Sleep is enough rest to sustain us. Truths Discussed: Rest is an intentional form of rejuvenation that can increase our productivity. Rest increases mental resilience and strengthens our ability to resist the negative effects of stress. Sleep is important, but it is not enough to counteract the multiple streams of stress we face each day. If you haven't done so already, rate, review, and follow the podcast.

Have you ever felt the frustration of mental or physical exhaustion while on the path to manifesting success in life or career? If so, this episode is for you. Join me, Alicia Caldwell, as I share possible contributors to exhaustion and strategies that have helped me continue to progress, despite mine.  There are so many conversations about us "doing it afraid," but so much judgment when we can't figure out how to do it when we're tired, overwhelmed, or exhausted.  Episode Takeaways: 1. Restorative self-care is a key ingredient to doing it tired. 2. Prioritize and simplify. Focus on what matters most. Create your priority list and break tasks into small and manageable steps. 3. Take restful breaks to recharge your body throughout the day.  4. Ask for help. Resist the urge to struggle alone during bouts of exhaustion. 5. Say "no" as needed to avoid overcommitting. "Exhaustion may trip you up, but it doesn't have to count you out." You can find Alicia Caldwell on Instagram, Facebook. and LinkedIn.

It's been a while, but welcome back to the Me Myself and HER Podcast! For those who are new here, I'm Alicia Caldwell, a licensed professional counselor turned mental empowerment speaker. I created this podcast as an extension of my Live Like HER® community. In each episode, I share practical and effective strategies on how we can lead and succeed in life, career, and relationships without sacrificing our mental health. Sometimes I sprinkle in some other topics that are on my heart to share, but no matter the topic my mission is the same – “Change the world one mentally empowered person at a time.”  In this return episode of the Me Myself and HER Podcast, I explore the fears that often hold us back from reaching and exceeding our full potential – the fear of failure and the fear of success. This episode explores the importance of self-awareness in recognizing the weeds of fear and using courage and confidence to grow and prosper despite them. “Fear is not the enemy. Lack of self-awareness and strategy are.” Counseling Resources Mentioned: Contact your insurance provider to determine your mental health/behavioral health benefits, and request a list of in-network providers.

On this episode, “The Urgency of Mental Wellbeing,” Alicia shares her story of shame surrounding mental and emotional challenges stemming from childhood adversity. She also shares the process of becoming more self-aware and courageous in her desire to heal her pain, not only for herself but those she loves. Many high-achieving professionals experience the stigma associated with mental and emotional struggles. Especially if they appear to have it “all together.” The truth is, mental and emotional challenges don't care about your education, financial status, or how good you look on the outside. But the hope is that you do care. And care so much that you'll take proactive measures to prepare and position yourself to win from the inside out.  Alicia created the Me Myself and HER Podcast and Live Like HER® community in honor of the woman she used to be. Her mission is to inspire others to become champions of their mental health by embracing the power of radical self-care and the pursuit of becoming HER (Healthy-Empowered-Resilient).  Episode Quote: It's never too soon or too late to make a powerful decision that will change the direction of your life.

Please enjoy this BONUS EPISODE as I, Alicia Caldwell, share how life circumstances sometimes warrant a pause as you reposition, refocus, and prepare to restart. Because there are times in life where a pause is more powerful than pushing yourself to complete a task. Today was one of those times. I had planned to record another podcast episode, but my mind and energy were not prepared for it. If you are struggling with giving yourself permission to take care of your mind as you strive for success in life, take a listen, and then decide. What I know is that self-care sometimes means taking a purposeful pause. Listen to your mind, body, and spirit as your gauge if this practice may apply to you.

Professional women leaders don't have tons of time to dedicate to self-care, but most want to. Most women want to take better care of themselves so that they’re better equipped to manage taking care of others.

By making self-care a daily priority we are empowered to lower stress, boost mental resilience and improve our quality of life. Join Alicia Caldwell as she discusses The Fabulous Four Self-Care Method, which is a blueprint that she created to make self-care a tangible reality for busy professional women.
