Trailer Talks

Friends, season one is in the books! This has been so much fun! The learning I have done, the people I have met and the things we have talked about, I have loved every second. I will be taking a bit of a break to prep well for season two, but I would love if you would keep up with me on IG @trailer.talks Thanks so much for walking this with me and for being my why, I love spending this time with you. Here's to season two!!

We all have a story. We have all been walking this journey of life and have encountered highs and lows, which lend to our story. I would love for you to know that your story is important and needs to be shared. This week, I touch on this exact thought and give you some takeaways to start implementing now to start sharing your story. So take a listen and let me know what you think.

Wow, this week I learned something about myself that wasn't great. I was able to sit back and acknowledge that I was jealous about someone, I haven't ever been able to recognize it in the moment before. In this episode, I share the experience I had, what I did to change it, and I issue a bit of a challenge for us all. Take a listen and let me know what you think, hop onto my instagram @trailer.talks and share some of the ways you combat jealousy.

So this week's episode ties into the one from last week, where I explain that I was chatting with Jo and once we were done I realized that I had been having a panic attack pretty much the entire time. I wanted to share it because there is some good stuff that came from our chat but also to give you a little insight as to what it is like when someone has high functioning anxiety and just keeps plugging along through life. As always I would love your thoughts and comments, and most of all for you to know that if this is something you are walking through, you are not alone!

Well this week, you get a glimpse into what a panic attack can look like for me. It was sudden, unexpected and yet not entirely out of place. I think sometimes we don't even realize we are having a panic attack, because we have been having them off and on for so long, they start to feel normal. My anxiety can lie to me pretty good, it can get me convinced about things that aren't true and that can fuel a panic attack. This week, not only do I open up about my panic attack, I share some strategies I used to combat them. Friend, if anxiety is a part of your journey, please know you are not alone, there are SO many of us walking this right alongside you. Feel free to hop on to my insta @trailer.talks and let me know some strategies that you use when you are feeling anxious or panicky.

*Trigger Warning* This weeks episode is heavy, it's raw and it's honest. I walk through my three miscarriages and the things I learned through them. I talk very openly about terminology, what I went through physically and emotionally. I would love to create a space where you can feel safe to share your stories. So please DM me on insta or reach out in whatever way you feel comfortable. Thanks for listening and I hope you know that you are not alone in this journey, we just don't usually talk about it, I am hoping to change that.

In this episode I have the pleasure if introducing you all to my beautiful friend Nicole. She is a therapist, a wife, a mom, an author and speaker, she is just all around amazing. We chat about therapy, the struggles you might feel in going for the first time, and Nicole shares some of her feelings the first time she went to therapy. We also talk about rejection, being a rejection researcher and so much more. I would love if you would listen in, hop on instagram and let me know your thoughts.

*Trigger warning* In today's episode I do briefly mention abuse. In this episode I share a bit about my struggle to starting therapy, what it was I encountered once I started and most importantly I try to share some real encouragement as to why we can all benefit from going to counselling/therapy at times in our lives. Listen in and let me know what you think.

*Trigger warning* In today's episode we talk about body image, we reference weight by number, and we talk about a number of topics regarding our bodies and our size.* In today's episode I sit down with one of my closest friends in the entire world to chat about body image, self esteem and how the way we were raised had an impact on how we see ourselves and the way we view our bodies. It's a super casual chat with a friend that you are welcome to sit in on. I would love your thoughts feel free to send me a message and share your tips and tricks for how you keep your self esteem in a healthy place.

*Trigger Warning - this week I will be talk about body image, we well as eating disorders* I think we can all agree that it can be so hard sometimes to feel good about ourselves, the world has a standard, and while it seems to be changing, it's still not super great. Let's talk about some of our struggles and share this journey, it's not an easy one to walk. Our bodies are not up for discussion, and your worth and value are not hinged on your body, your pant size, or what the scale says. You are amazing! What you have done in this life is amazing! It's time to stop wasting time struggling with trying to achieve what society tells us is the “standard”, and it's time to get out there and live. Let's be part of the revolution of women who are reclaiming the “standard”. Let's get out there and start embracing this life that we have been given, life is too short to be worried about what the scale says. You are worth more than that, you are more than your pant size, never forget that!

In this episode I chat with my friend Bethany about her passion for food and travel, and her love for both. We then pivot a little and dive into the conversation of racism and micro aggressions. This is such a great talk and really just the beginning of what will be an ongoing conversation. Make sure you check Bethany out on Instagram, you can find her at @feastandwander So, take a listen and let me know what you think.

Hey friends, in this episode I provide a small peek into what it was like having a deaf parent. There are SO many stories I can and will get to, this episode is really just a glimpse into the world of a deaf person and their children. Welcome to the world of a CODA, it's never dull, lol.

In this episode I talk about my own feelings surrounding failure, how we have perceived it and I challenge us to reframe how we think about it. Take a listen, let me know what you think.

*Content Warning* Topics included faith and homosexuality. This is a little talk about something I have been holding back on and why I have felt the need to hold back. If you are like me maybe you have had somethings in your life that you haven't been entirely honest about. Take a listen, hear a bit about my journey with this, and ideally be encouraged and empowered to finally be honest about who you are.

In this episode I talk about growing up on social assistance, the impact that had on me, how I have been running away from that life and the realization that I don't need to run anymore. It took a long time to realize that the life I live now is drastically different from the life I had growing up. Now I can take a deep breath, look around and know that I am safe, I am fine. Take a walk down memory lane with me and let's discover how to stop running away from the things that were never chasing us in the first place.

In this episode I chat about someone crossing my boundary, being pushed back on a boundary I had to set. I also give some tips on how to know you need boundaries, as well as how to establish boundaries.

Society has tried to tell us that as a woman we should feel threatened by the women around us. Those who we deem smarter, prettier, more intelligent, more successful. But what if we flipped that on it's head? What if we championed each other and we lifted up those around us, all in the effort to better one another. We would have a massive impact on the lives we encounter, and the world around us.

Ever find yourself spending way too much time on social media? No, just me? LOL A little talk about social media, the pros and cons and somethings we can do to ensure we aren't spending more time on it then we need to.

*Trigger Warning* *This episode speaks about depression and suicidal thoughts. * As a new mom I struggled with a number of things, and had to navigate it with a lot of trial and error as well as uncertainty. Let's chat about that, about what it looks like in the early days. The shame and stigma of postpartum depression, taking medications and all that goes with it.

Our words matter. They hold power. We can build someone up or tear them down with mere words. Let's change the narrative and change the way we speak to others and to ourselves.

We are constantly bombarded with images and words that tell us we are not enough. That can lead us down the path of comparison, which does nothing to benefit anyone. Let's change that shall we.....
