It's possible to obsess about healing the trauma that we become part of the problem, not the solution. We allow ourselves to think about our lives more than we live them. Thus perpetuating all the old cycles and truths, we hold deep down about our unworthiness to find happiness for real. Binge thinking happens when introspection becomes the means to avoid a problem. Evaluating your life, the trauma, and the work you've done is supposed to facilitate living it, not the other way around. When the obsession with healing becomes the focus, we are letting our lives exist more in our heads than in reality. Today's episode is a deep dive into how we sabotage our journey through the obsession to heal a little more and better than we did yesterday. What is the point of all this work if we don't allow ourselves to embody the life we are living and take action daily to experience it? We have to stop thinking about taking action and actually take it in order to evolve and heal fully in the present. We're creating a community that we've all been craving!

In the same way, an addict has a choice about whether or not to use it. Addiction rates are at epidemic levels for women especially, and overdoses are killing people every day.

Here is an additional episode because the drama surrounding T. Swift's latest video antihero has brought up some feelings for lots of women including us! When have we gone too far? When are artists going to be able to share their art with raw vulnerability again? Will they ever be able to share their emotions again without the impending backlash from social media and the faceless army of trolls who create campaigns to tear people down and hit cancel on their art, their careers, and their potential to create again? Whatever happened to having different experiences and being ok with that? Why do we have to have backlash over everything?If someone shares their innermost insecurities and demons do we then have the right to vilify them because they aren't fat enough? Sorry not sorry internet, we don't have the right to bully someone (celebrity or not) into submission. We all have feelings around our bodies and our own individual insecurities so when is that going to be enough? Why doesn't the conversation shift from shaming, blaming, and hating on someone to wow, you feel that way about your body too? Cancel culture is out and quite frankly we're sick of it.

Today's episode we discuss an article about an IG post from celebrity Bethany Frankel, the danger of filters and altering photos online, "Filtering is lying: It is deceptive. It makes women feel badly about themselves. It makes young girls insecure and obsessed with unattainable perfection. It makes middle-aged women and mothers feel insecure about themselves,". The discussion dives into the reality of social media today and how it affects us personally and our thoughts on the way it is affecting women all over the world. Frankel took bold action and used her platform to draw attention to something that need to be discussed more often. As if it's not enough pressure every day for us as women, mothers, wives, daughters, employees, and friends, we have the added pressure from daily social media images of friends, influencers, and celebrities alike, many of whom curate the perfect image of themselves and their "lives" with editing and filters to make us all feel like shit about ourselves and our reality. The issue is we can logically process and discuss that most people are filtered but it's become such common practice that when it's in front of us we cannot remind ourselves that it's a filtered image and that's where the problems begin. Our insecurity takes hold, and the false ideals we create of what we should look like are flat-out false and deceptive. We invite you to take inspired action with us and upload an unfiltered pic of yourself and tag us on IG https://www.instagram.com/annaking_19/https://www.instagram.com/brookecollinscoaching/tag our accounts and use the hashtag #filterfree We believe when you share openly with someone about your own struggles you create a safe space that gives them permission to share openly and honestly also, and that's the most powerful catalyst to change and connection.

Today's episode caught us up on Anna's ever-evolving dating life! After her experience with Expidating she finds herself back unhinged on the hinge app, except this time with more mindfulness about potential dates. The most important part of this for us is sharing experiences to help other women feel less alone and putting yourself out there is hard, but, it's worth it if you connect with the right people. Self-love and acceptance is a struggle most women face in their lifetimes and dating seem to really test how we feel about ourselves. It's important to focus on finding contentment in solitude and knowing the difference between needing to be with someone for fear of being alone and wanting to be with someone to add value and joy to your life. Next we hit women and ADHD as a topic and the undiagnosed statistics. Struggling with ADHD and not knowing it is in fact not depression or anxiety or hormones is important and so is making sure you are your own health advocate when talking to Drs. about the symptoms or struggles you face. You are not alone..Of course, we add our unique perspectives to these topics for a conversation that is eh pretty decent.

"I'm doing the best I can with what I have at the moment, and that's enough."In today's episode, we discuss Little t trauma and big T traumas and how they continue to affect people throughout their lifetimes. There is so much information out there on childhood trauma and the emotional toll takes on your mental and physical health, almost too much information for us to research on it that it creates overload and overwhelm. We need to address what happened to us, and then we need to address how we dealt with what happened to us, followed by our coping skills, that's where the real journey to healing begins. Trauma itself means wound and it is just that an internal wound. We have to realize that for a lot of people trauma or the wound is what didn't happen to them that should have. We want to normalize all the feelings we feel and hold space for you all to express what you feel and navigate the journey together.

"The worst part about having a mental illness is that people expect you to behave as if you don't."In this week's episode, we dive into mental health and how the stigma surrounding it leads to silent suffering. We talk about how common it is for us to minimize our levels of pain and what we are going through in an effort to keep up the appearance of "normalcy" and "I'm fine."Nearly every human being struggles with mental health at some point in life, and for many, it's an ongoing, ever-present battle. Once we learn how to break the silence, we will finally see that we are all the same, we are all human, and we're not alone.

Life is messy; let's laugh about it!
