Podcasts about loving your life

Dr. Harpriya Singh is a gastroenterologist practicing at Stanford Healthcare-Trivalley in Pleasanton.   My original intention was to have Dr. Singh share with us about how we can best take care of our physical health. While we talk about that, what transpired is a masterclass in how to experience our life with the most joy and fulfillment no matter what is happening around us.  If you share this with everyone you care about, it will change their life. Full stop. Not hyperbole.  Listen and learn to truly love your life!

Bible and Business' Bill English talks about the the impact of potential interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, as well as the concern about the continued growth of the federal debt, and what it means for us, especially as we seek to love our neighbor well and share the Gospel.  Meghan Ryan Asbury, author of "You are Not Behind," looks back on our unmet desires and hopes, and while lamenting them we can still see God's goodness and plans for our lives.

To kick off Season 6, Jessica and Layne revisit the transformative power of loving your life, even amidst the challenges of raising young children, recovering from cervical cancer and figuring out how to pay bills. Jess introduced us to the mantra "I love my life" in the final episode of last season and while you don't need to hear it to enjoy this episode, it's a conversation that genuinely changed us both and we recommend listening when you can (find the link below)! Today we build on that with a discussion about how to find strength and "love your life" even on your worst days. We share stories about times in our lives when things "went good" instead of going bad. We offer encouragement about how to trust that the dark times are part of a story that's worth loving and that good things will continue to come in your life.

My amazing friend is back on the show and is one of the catalyst for me changing the show name and much more. The episode is full of wisdom and insight don't miss it Liz Benny lives and breathes the philosophy of “Life is for living”. She's got more energy than fifty energizer bunnies and KAPOWs her way through each and every day as if it's her last day. People say that she has a magnetic and engaging personality and you can't help but believe in yourself when you're around her. Liz has a raw and real approach to her work and is focused on positively impacting as many people as possible through her KAPOW movement. It took Liz a while to find business success, even though she earned a Masters with Distinction from her work in Positive Psychology. After this, ironically, Liz found herself stuck in a job that was draining her soul, so she made a decision and set out to create a better life – a life she'd always dreamed of. She firmly believes that everyone is capable of living rewarding, fulfilling, successful lives and as a business and life transforma tion specialist she spends her time assisting entrepreneurs to reach their full potential. Liz's super power is helping entrepreneurs and business owners close the gap between their dreams and achieving them. She does that with her signature KAPOW pathway which ensures that success in all the important areas of life occurs because, as Liz says, “There's no point in making millions and millions of dollars if you're not happy in process!” https://lizbenny.com/?

In this episode, Jess and Layne face one burning question: how can you truly love your life RIIGHT NOW? We discuss the trap of waiting for our circumstances to change before we can live a life we love and our tendency to overlook our wins, constantly moving the goalposts, missing the opportunity to celebrate our accomplishments. From recognizing the dreams you've already achieved (like becoming a mom!) to finding joy in the daily grind of motherhood, this conversation is all about the power of a simple shift in perspective – deciding to love your life now, rather than waiting for it to change in the future. Because that dream life you want? You might just be living it already!

Welcome back to The Deep Talk! Today's episode is all about feeling aligned in your life and LOVING YOUR LIFE. I have been reflecting on why my life feels a lot more stable lately...and it's because I've done a lot of work to create a life that feels aligned. This episode is more on how to create that. :)

Sometimes it's hard to find contentment when you're in a season of discontentment. I've been there. It took me 3 + years to finally grow my business into what it is today.    There were sooo many moments where I wanted to throw in the towel and just stop trying to do the things I felt in my soul I need to do.   It's easy to give up. It's harder to get back up and keep going.   This episode is a conversation about what it looks like to live a life content yet motivated. How to balance the two & how to know when you should keep going vs. push pause!   Stay connected to Tessah: @shejustgotrealpodcat @tessahluebke @shejustgotsocial

This podcast is gonna be coming out on July 4th and in the United States that is Independence Day. And what I really wanna talk about is feeling independent or free through your fertility journey and maybe the years that have followed since. So, in full disclosure, I recorded a different episode yesterday. I had my hair and makeup done. I looked glorious. And then when I went to go edit the podcast, I realized that I had my microphone. On mute. So if you're watching me on YouTube, this is me, fresh outta bed, no makeup, just a little bit of moisturizer. If you are listening in and you didn't know that I have a YouTube channel, um, please subscribe to it. It's Lana dot Mankowski the YouTube channel's a little bit different than if you listen to the podcast on audio only. It's a little less edited,  maybe some more outtakes than you might hear on the podcast. But either way, if you have an opportunity to subscribe to the YouTube channel and you're watching this on YouTube, thank you so much. If you, um, have a friend that you think would like to listen or watch, please send them the podcast or my YouTube channel to subscribe. So  independence Day,  I'm not  gonna talk about Independence Day in the United States, but just this sense of feeling independence after your fertility journey ends and you realize that you're not gonna be a mom. There is a really common thing that I work  on  with my students, where they're feeling very, almost like stuck. Because for so long they were in this waiting pattern, and maybe you feel that like maybe you know what it feels like to be in this holding pattern of trying to figure out what your life's gonna be. Maybe in the short term it's trying to figure out if you can say yes to a girls' weekend or get tickets to a concert.  Maybe in the long term it's deciding where you want to purchase your next place of living, whether you wanna get a house with four bedrooms or stay in an apartment with two. There's a lot of the fertility journey that. As us not feeling like we are independent and that we are free to live life the way that we want to. So let's think about how we can pay attention to that and maybe start to regain some of our independence back now that our journey has ended and we know that we're not gonna be parents, we know that egg donor wasn't right for us. We know that adoption isn't the thing that we were seeking. So if we want to start to feel like we're living again and feeling independent again, we can start by doing a couple things that I'm gonna talk about and teach you about. I also talk about this a lot in my Thrive After Infertility Mastermind is listening to your brain and not trying to change the way that you think right away. Or change the way that you thought things were going to be or should have been, but just listening in, paying attention, telling yourself, I'm not gonna judge you, but I just wanna hear what comes up for you when I think about feeling captive in my story, or I feel  captive in making a decision on what I want to do next. Before I get into that, like I just want to really normalize the fact that many people feel captive. It's nothing wrong with you or nothing that that is unique to you. It's that for so long we were on a plan to become parents, to become a mom, to get pregnant, to go through a cycle, to follow a protocol. So for a long time, by choice, we were following this protocol. We knew what we had to do next. We knew a waiting period. Whether it was, a two week wait or whether it was waiting for your next period to start or waiting for your medication to get in and knowing what day you were supposed to start your medication. There were so many parts of our fertility journey that we didn't need to be independent because we had the support of our fertility clinics. We have the support of our I V F nurses. We have this time trial of sorts that we knew, a general sketch of how long it would take until our next cycle started. Okay. So I just wanted to take an opportunity to say that if you're feeling like something's wrong with you, that you just don't feel independence in your own life. That is so normal. I work on that all the time with my students and thrive. What I'd love to offer you is doing paper thinking. You all know if you've listened to me for a while, that to me, listening to your brain, not changing what it's telling you, but just paying attention to what it's telling you and maybe jotting it down is probably the most effective form of starting to create difference in your life, not change. Maybe I would even say to create awareness in your life because when we are aware of why we're feeling as though we are not able to make a decision or say yes to a vacation or go on a cruise with our family, even though we know that our journey has ended, let's pay attention to what our brain is telling us, and maybe our brain is telling us that. It's scary. Maybe our brain is telling us that having this freedom again means that our journey through fertility treatments and our journey to motherhood is over. And when we hear that it feels scary because it's almost like this rag that like slaps you in the face to say Hey, it's up to you now. And we may think that that should feel easy and that should feel freeing, but for you, it might just be a reminder that what you wanted so badly is not available to you and things are gonna look different for you. So take some time to pay attention to what are the things that are coming up when you feel like you don't have authority in your life, or this independence, or this freedom or a desire to feel that way. Okay. And then when you understand what it is that's going on for you. Understand do you wanna take some independence back in your life? Do you want to be somebody who takes authority back in their life? And my guess is you probably do, but There is a lot to unravel to get there, and so the paper thinking will allow you to, to pay attention to maybe what scenarios are coming up for you, where you feel like really stuck in making a decision that you think should be so easy to make and you think, my gosh, like, why is it so hard for me to decide if I want to go and book a vacation with my husband, or why is it so hard to decide if I wanna get theater tickets with my mom and my sister?   Your mind, is just really used to being on hold with a lot of things. And so if you've decided that you want to try to start taking that independence in your life again and taking. Steps to feeling like you want to be in control of your future again. Then maybe pick a couple things that you noticed were hard for you to decide to say yes to, or maybe some things that you've been wanting to do and you've just been finding yourself not saying. All right, I'm gonna do this. I'm gonna book this. I'm gonna call this person and make plans.  I'm gonna sign up for this class. I'm going to start working out again. I mean, there's 1,000,001 things that might have come up in your brain that you've been wanting to do and you just haven't said yes to. And I don't want you to pick all of them. Maybe just pick one item at a time, one thing at a time, and start. To work on saying yes to that thing and understand, why do you want to say yes? Why do you wanna go to the theater with your mom and your sister? Maybe it's that you wanna start bonding with them again. Maybe it's that you wanna start creating activities that enrich you, or maybe you're somebody who loved musicals and you haven't gone seen a musical for so long and you know that that will bring joy to you. Maybe if you understand why you haven't booked a vacation, maybe you and your partner have been wanting to  go do something fun for so long and you just find yourself  talking yourself out of it. Understand. If you went on that getaway, what would that do for you? What would it do for your relationship? What are some things that you could dream about experiencing when you and your partner say yes to this long weekend or this road trip.  It's really a good place to start to gain your independence in your life back and maybe in the activities that you wanna partake to understand where you're feeling stuck, when you're finding yourself saying, no, what types of things are they? Are they picking out groceries at the grocery store or are they like saying yes to things that are like more commitment date on the books. I'm doing this on this certain date. And my guess is it's probably the latter. It's probably committing to something that is concrete, something that you have to say yes to ahead of time. Buy tickets for,  Coordinate with other people, like something that's not easy for you to back out of. I'm guessing that's it cuz that's commonly when I'm working with my students, that's where they're finding themselves getting stuck. So understanding that and then picking a couple easy things. Maybe it's not booking a month long sabbatical in the mountains of man Montana. Maybe it's just saying yes to a weekend jaunt. Or maybe yes to a, a girl's weekend somewhere or something that you can just dip your toe in the water a little bit. And when you say yes, you'll start to say, wow. Like, these are the things that I want to start doing again now that I know my journey is over and I know that I'm not gonna be a mom. I wanna start experiencing these things that give me so much fun and so much joy, listen to yourself and not judge yourself and not tell yourself, like it shouldn't be so hard for me to make these decisions. Just come at yourself from a place of grace. So I hope that helps you this week and in anticipation of Independence Day, you can start to create more independence in your life. And if you have yet to download the Guide to Loving Your Life again, it is a free resource that I created. I talk about it every once in a while and I feel like I don't talk about it enough cuz the people that have downloaded it and reached out to me have found so much movement. By just taking themselves through the exercises I offer in the guide. So you can download it at lana mankowski.com/guide. If you follow me on Instagram at lana dot mankowski, the link to download it is in my bio, but whatever it is, know that you can love your life. Again, you can feel independent again. You can thrive again. You can be excited about your future again,  if you are newly out of treatments, it might not be your time yet to reach that. But if you've been listening to me for a while, if you have listened to multiple episodes of this podcast and you hear things resonating with you, and you think to yourself , you know, I'm good, but. I'm okay with just being good.  Cuz I don't know that my life will ever be great. I want you to just  stop that talk, listen to yourself and know that good is not good enough for you. You deserve great. You deserve a life that just feels so magnificent. And I know that I try to talk myself in for so long to just like feeling, okay, my life's good. So, I'm in a loving relationship. I make good money. I have family and friends nearby and you know, that'll get me through. And when I realized how fabulous life could be, again, I get so disappointed for letting so much time go by that I didn't want more for myself or that I talked myself out of my desire to want more. So, Don't be one of those people. Don't be Lana two years ago who just thought average was okay and that this was as good as it was gonna get. And if you're interested in doing something more to create a life where you can thrive and feel fulfilled, I invite you to join Thrive after infertility. It is the most transformative path you can take yourself on and to watch the many students that I have coached and continue to work with and the women that have said yes to themselves to see how magical and to be able to watch them grow and continue to flourish and find their independence is. My greatest achievement, to be able to have worked on that for me and want others to have it for themselves. So have a beautiful week. I love you. And remember, it is never too late to discover your meeting. I'll talk to you next week.

I wanted to tell you about a resource that I have available that is free for you. Anyone who is looking to love their life again and feel as though they wake up every day feeling connected to who they are and feeling more connected to this new reality of maybe being childless, not by choice or navigating the feelings that come along with realizing that motherhood just might not be in the cards for you. I created  The Guide to Loving Your Life Again. It's about a three page free workbook. That helped me a lot, and I've used a lot of these methods with some of my students to really start realizing how to start loving your life again because what we're gonna talk about in this week's podcast is feeling more in alignment with yourself again, and a lot of that is recognizing that life might not feel as good as you want it to feel right now, and there's nothing wrong with you if that is the case with you, because life has changed for us in many significant ways that we didn't anticipate. So the Guide to Loving Your Life again, if you wanna download it, you can go to lana mankowski.com/guide, it's there to download. Also on Instagram into my buy own Instagram, you'll be able to download the guide there.  I really encourage you to download the guide and pay attention to some of the questions that I ask in the guide or some of the affirmations that you can start practicing. If you haven't used affirmations before, I find affirmations most helpful as quick reminders throughout the day.  Affirmations sometimes work well if you put a post-it somewhere in your notebook, if you keep a journal sometimes on your mirror. I do that,  I have post-its on my mirror or in front of my window by my office so that when I'm here on my computer, I can look in front of me and there's a bunch of post-its with just reminders that I wanna have for myself. And then  I offer you some thoughts that you might want to bring into your life more and some new things that you wanna practice thinking about yourself and believing about yourself as a woman without children. So the Guide to Loving Your Life again is one of the best resources that you can find. And it's free. I don't wanna charge for it. I don't want anyone to pay me money to learn how to start loving their life again, cuz I think that is something that is due to us. Just by being human, and that's why I wanna talk about feeling in alignment with yourself this week. So this past weekend, I went to go see one of my biggest teachers and a mentor in the teachings that I teach. Esther Hicks, also known, known as Abraham Hicks, was speaking here in Chicago this weekend, and I went to go listen to her. It was about a four and a half, five hour seminar that was. Just what my soul was wanting to hear and wanting to learn more about because I am so attracted to this message of living, your truest version of you and many of us who went through fertility treatments and didn't end up becoming moms adopt this idea that life will be okay or be good, but never be great again because it will never feel complete again.  Listening to Abraham Hicks for all the years that I've been listening to her, I listen to her YouTube channel. Oftentimes when I'm driving, I'll pipe it through my Bluetooth, listening to how to become more calibrated or more in alignment with yourself and with the people around you is something that I'm just so interested in incorporating more into my life because I really think that's what allows us to be the truest version of ourselves. So let me tell you a little bit about what that looks like. So whenever we think about ourselves and this vessel that we are in, is it possible to innately trust that your inner being, the soul part of you, the part that you can't see, but just these feelings and these emotions inside are always calibrating to feel good, to attract the goodness, attract the positive, want to love. Is it possible to just close your eyes and imagine how you feel when you are calibrated and you're feeling at peace, you're feeling proud of who you are, you're feeling love, just radiating for your body, from your body. Imagine how that feels and consider that that is the way that you were created to feel all the time, every day that in your resting place and in your day-to-day, just version of you that is genuinely you and who you are, that that is the intention for how you were created to feel. And that might feel like a stretch right now, and that's okay. But know that  that is your, Your resting place. You know, they talk about the resting heart rate. Imagine if that's like just your resting place of being you, and any time things come out into your, your universe or within your vortex around you or in your surroundings, that disrupt that feeling, that is an indicator of your inner desired person, of who you are or feeling or being of who you are, telling you that it doesn't feel good because it's not in alignment with who you are. Okay? So think about that a little bit. You're designed to be this person that is just at peace and in harmony and wanting to love others, wanting to love yourself. Wanting to love your life like that is the place that you feel most at home with those feelings. And when things around you are triggering to you or ruffling feathers, or not in alignment with you, that is yourself telling you like, pay attention to this thing. Why is it not matching up with who I truly am and who I truly desire to be? And then, Just pause and pay attention. Why is something bothering you right now? Why is something making you sad? Why is this person aggravating you or hurting your feelings? And just pay attention?  That's a good time to pause and if you are a paper thinker, or even if you wanna  write something down in the notes section of your phone and just pay attention to it and decide that. That doesn't have to be in misalignment with you. Maybe there's something about that circumstance that is changeable. Maybe you're automatically going to thinking that that's not right. That's annoying. That person doesn't have the best intentions for me. That person's judging me Like all these things.  What if you allowed, all those things that are outside of you to just be and decide that you don't have to bring them into your vortex, into your inner being of wanting to, to feel peace and solace. Now, you don't have to go and figure out how to do that right now, but can you just say that it is possible to do that, or I'm interested in figuring out how to attract more of what brings me this inner peace or this inner joy or this inner love for myself.  Two things that I like to talk about are like noticing where you are when you feel out of alignment, or who you're around or what you're experiencing. So noticing and then just normalizing it, not judging it, just saying, okay, like. I notice it, it makes sense that if somebody asks me, if I've thought about adoption, I would be triggered by that or be hurt by that, or annoyed by that and just notice it and just normalize it and just say, you know what? It makes sense. I get it. But realizing that you don't have to always feel that way, that you don't want to always feel that way, like, let's put it that way, that. You know that you don't want to be triggered by that, or you don't want to believe that your life is always gonna be at 80%. And then understanding that there is a desire within you that wants to feel differently from that. And just  normalizing that. Yeah, it makes sense that I feel that way. And just bringing it to your awareness or steps  two, starting to build this life that you can love again, and that you feel more in alignment with who you are, more in alignment with who you are intended to be and the energy that you're truly desiring to continue through this world. Emitting and receiving from this world. So I'll leave you with that. if you haven't checked out Abraham Hicks, she's got an awesome YouTube channel. Like I said earlier, I listen to it almost every day when I'm driving and just pay attention to some of the, the messages that she brings about feeling calibrated and feeling in alignment with who you truly are intended to be. Because in my opinion, we don't wanna go around being angry at people or, pointing fingers at people for the way that they make us feel, or being disappointed with ourselves or wishing that we would've done better or better, or that we could do better. Like, that's not who we are. That's not who we're calibrated to be. So how can we continue on in this world? Taking in the things that go on around us and find a way to decide how we can calibrate that to be the version of ourselves that we are intended to be. Have an awesome week. I love you, and remember, it is never too late to discover your meaning. I'll talk to you next week.

Join me today as we talk about the value of LOVE and what it means to love your life. I believe that the most valuable thing on earth is LOVE. Without love, what is the point? Please don t discount the importance of this podcast. I get it, our high achieving minds might not find LOVE productive, important, or accessible but what if our minds are ill advised. What if our minds find escape in the extremes, the either/or and the all or nothing s. What if LOVE was the way, the truth, the middle, the past, the future to a life that is not only fulfilling but a life well lived. My hope is that we are creating a community by way of this podcast. I wish I could get this work into the world. Maybe you could help me. Who do you want to do this life with? Maybe you click the 3 dots, copy the link and send this to them.

I'm really excited to bring to you this series on alcoholism.  The real talk part of the title of this podcast is that way because I really want to dive in to the deep dark issues no one is talking about.  many of my clients are dealing with alcoholic spouses and they feel incredibly ashamed, so I wanted to talk about some of the nuances of living with addiction.   If you've never had alcoholism in your family and you find out that your spouse has been hiding drinking from you it may be difficult to discern.   Alcoholism, now known as alcohol use disorder, is a condition in which a person has a desire or physical need to consume alcohol, even though it has a negative impact on their life.   But more than what alcoholism is I really want to describe what it is like to live with an alcoholic because it's something only people who have alcoholic family members understand.   People feel a lot of shame they feel alone because they isolate themselves and they don't wanna talk about an alcoholic family member or spouse. Even though we know that there are x number of alcoholics on this earth/in this country.   And yet alcoholism in the family can still be a shameful secret.   I know the way I was raised was that these things (meaning suicide, eating disorders, addiction/anything mental health) didn't happen to Indian people Luckily, our generation has a chance to do better.   I want to dive in what it looks like to live with an alcoholic.   An alcoholic's wife will feel like she's a single parent.  Somehow he can manage work and htat's about it.  If he's a less functioning alcoholic maybe he can't even manage that.  She will find alcohol in a place it shouldn't be and here a quick excuse about it.   Her life seems harder than other people's and yet she doesn't know why.   He might get unhinged or angry for no good reason or he may pass out early in the evening.  He doesn't contribte much to the household or p[articipate in chores.   He lies about drinking and makes excuses to leave the house to do so. The alcoholic may come into the house slurring his words stumbling and if you ask him if he's been drinking, he will flat out say no.  (Playing Sherlock Holmes in his drinking will never serve you…but I will discuss that on next week's episode on codependence).   An alcoholic may act strangely early in the morning due to drinking.  They often drink in the middle of the night to quell withdrawal symptoms so if they seem drunk or you know they have a drinking problem, don't let them drive with your children or be alone with your children.   They will swear they're sober and show signs of drunkenness.  If you suspect he's been drinking he probably has.  Follow your gut.  Don't engage in an argument with them and don't accus ethem of drinking.  You will never win.  They will double down on their lies.   Lies and addiction: Addiction and lying go hand in hand.  It's pretty hard to have one without the other.  A particularly intelligent addict with be delusional about his drinking problem and often believe his own lies.  That may help soften the blow when you feel betrayed.  A client of mine her husband had been drinking and offered to drive her and her son while she was pregnant and she couldn't believe he would do that.  However, he probably believed he was ok to drive.   You cant trust a thing they say when they are not sober and trust is the anchor of love.  And not drinking is not the same as sober.  And it isnt your secret to keep.   Another strange thing that happens can be rough play.  Another client of mine whose husband was an alcoholic before she even knew that.  He used to be rough with her at night.  She would also notice his decompensating as the evening wore on.  When she brought this up to their couples therapist the couples therapist who clearly knew very little about alcoholism suggested that because he was a physician buttoned up performing all day at work, he would unbutton and let loose like a kindergartener.  Make no mistake though that this is a sign something is wrong.   When things don't add up and seem strange…that's because they are.  Often when we are in the thick of a situation we may not want the truth even if we sort of do.  Does that resonate?   If your partner's behavior is unpredictable, he or she may have a mental illness, axis I or axis 2 diagnosis or he or she may have an addiction.  Surreptitiously drinking or using drugs.   Maybe you're at a point where you know what is going on…reflect on how you've enabled if at all.  Are you constantly rescuing your spouse?  Following him or her around to make sure he or she doesn't drink?   Are you afraid to ask about his drinking because it is triggering for him? Or maybe you feel like you have to walk on eggshells and that' sno fun.   A lot of times you might feel you're on a rollercoaster ride that wonn't stop.  Only you can decide if you want to keep on riding or get off.  It's your choice.   I hope I clarified some of the chaos that goes along with living with addiction because it can be so isolating.  If any of this is sounding familiar I want you to know you are not alone.   Know there are a lot of professional moms out there dealing with the exact same thing.  It's more common than you think, just secretive.   In the next two episodes I will dive in on how you can create a better life experience for yourself in spite of living with active addiction.   If you want to dive deeper into this work, I have 4 spots opening up for private clients.  My process helps professional moms with the seemingly perfect life who are silently suffering on the inside to know that they're not alone,  and that they reclaim their confidence and power to have the life they want even if that feels impossible right now.   Schedule a call today priancanaikmdcoaching.as.me

I'm a results-oriented person, and efficiency and not wasting time are huge for me—so this means I've never been patient.   Waiting is not fun We are all used to immediate satisfaction and results.   This isn't serving us. Creating more frustration when things aren't happening on our brain's timeline. The antidote and solution to this is patience.   Let's first address patience with ourselves. This means giving ourselves grace. Are you going through a hard time or having a tough day? Can you be patient with yourself? So many clients come to me saying they want to be more patient with their kids. But patience starts with us, and it takes practice.   I challenge you to practice patience then next time you feel yourself demanding more from yourself or trying to give yourself tough love. What about meeting yourself exactly where you are, knowing you're doing your best and this too shall pass?   Patience with where we are in life or goals. Good things take time. Some people get lucky and get quick results, but often time and effort are combined to create our desired results. So…when we are taking the right steps to get to where we want to go, let's embrace the process. Embrace the work instead of the end result. This helps us to have patience. Mel Robbins' manifestation technique emphasizes visualizing the work to get where you want to go and taking pride in the work or action. Try this on for size. Lean into the work. Know what result you want, but try to detach from it and know that it will come in time.   Try to zoom out and gain perspective. This is another key to patience cultivation. For example, when your kids are making a mess, and it is driving you nuts-we've all been there-take a step back before indulging in the frustration. There's a simple solution to clean the mess. If you're tired, you can do it later. If they're old enough, ask for their help. Also, what helps me tremendously is to be grateful my kids are in my home, knowing that when they're grown and move out, I'll probably miss the mess. And, of course, this is a small blip on the radar and shall pass.   When you find yourself being impatient, try to remember or think that nothing has gone wrong. All is as it should be. Often things unfold exactly as they should, but we may not realize that until later. Reflect on some adversities in your life…how did they serve you? It took me three years to apply to medical school. I was impatient the entire time in my 20s…but this did serve me. I am aware of the marathon that is life. I was able to get into a few US MD schools in spite of being told that was unlikely. I know that I can do hard things…so can you! Hence, let's work on enjoying the process, believing in ourselves, and learning to build patience.   Another tip for building patience is to stop feeding into certain narratives. Because of the previous story, three years I took off before medical school, I had a mantra-"things take me longer than others" and it wasn't in a positive light. I realized I needed to ditch this story. So when I feel it coming up, I notice it, acknowledge it as an old frenemy story that doesn't serve me, and then I move on instead of indulging. Notice what stories you have surrounding patience and get rid of the ones that aren't helping.   Focus on shorter-term goals which will help you get to longer-term goals. If you want to lose 20 lbs, it's not going to happen healthily in one month. But you can increase working out and decrease carbs or more mindfully eat on a day-to-day basis, and you'll see the effects.   Doctors, we've all had a long road of education and delayed gratification…remember this. Use this to your advantage in cultivating patience.     Finally, my last, tip-which I return to often and throughout my day, is Cultivating patience moment to moment via mind-body awareness.   Remember, there is a body. Feel your feet on the floor. Your contact with the chair if you're sitting. The weight of gravity. Feel the stability of the earth beneath you. Breathe. Focus on your breath and the rhythm. This has helped me to be mindful and patient in the line at the grocery store.   If that doesn't work for you, another mindful activity is just noticing whatever you're doing. One task at a time. Notice the water falling on you when you're showering. Or notice your hands on the wheel while driving or the surroundings. Focusing, creating peace, and being present creates more space and patience instead of constantly needing to be filled with stimuli, which is the antithesis of patience.   Pick a few instances that elicit impatience typically for you-traffic, waiting in the grocery line, or anything else. Practice a couple of the discussed methods today and see how it goes.   If you want to dive deeper into this work, I have four spots opening up for private clients. My process helps professional moms with the seemingly perfect life who are silently suffering on the inside to know that they're not alone and that they reclaim their confidence and power to have the life they want, even if that feels impossible right now.   Schedule a call today priancanaikmdcoaching.as.me

They're afraid of the external façade being extinguished   They're afraid that if their friends knew what was happening…addicted spouse, abusive relationship, toxic work environment that they would judge them for staying or tell them to leave when they're not ready. So they isolate themselves They think they're the only ones in this boat. They think they have an abnormal situation and no one could relate.   SO then they're even more isolated an lonely sometimes in addition to having a spouse who tries to isolate them further.   Worrying about what people think causes the following problems: Wastes time and precious brain energy It isolates us It makes us feel bad It can keep us stuck     Why do we worry about what people think? We want to belong We want a sense of tribe We want external approval We are people-pleasers…please refer to episode #4 on combatting people pleasing. Many of us worried about what our parents would think of our life from a young age into adulthood as well. Our parents train us to not air our dirty laundry and brag a lot (this is pervasive in South Asian culture)   When people judge what we are doing or don't like it, it's uncomfortable because we all just want to belong and be liked. Once we can actually sit with this discomfort and notice it-it's often a vibration in the body-keep noticing and by noticing we can neutralize it. Once it's a vibration we can identify it for what it is and soften its power over us. Actually, we empower ourselves and begin to take hold of our own experience.   I encourage you to practice sitting with discomfort or tell your parents something of which they wouldn't approve. Tune in to your reaction, the discomfort in your body. Stick to your guns. See how it goes. The concepts in life coaching are very simple, but they must constantly be practiced in order to actually implement. Our patterns the unhelpful and unhealthy ones that we've engaged and have been occurring for so long but of course it takes discipline an offer to transformer selves. But we can most certainly fake it 'til we make it and embody a different method.   I want to discuss how to stop worrying about what other people think because this will remove one major contributor to emotional exhaustion and stuckness.   Here's what to do: Look inward   It's simple but not easy.   It's so much easier to project our own judgments and fears on to other people. Often we do something that we know is the right thing to do, but might be against the grain of how we were raised. Which I do talk about in the previous episode-episode number 17 "How to Move Forward When How You Were Raised Conflicts with Your Current Values." And when we have this dissonance within us, it's much easier to fixate and perseverate on what this person's reaction would be because then we are off the hook. We don't have to look inward and take a good hard look at ourselves because that's much more difficult and painful. That is a part of the deep internal work we must do to get to a better place.   And to judge ourselves is one of the hardest things to do. It's easy to gossip and judge other people's actions when we don't want to examine ourselves. So the second step in not worrying about what people think includes asking yourself why you care what that person thinks and I turned inward and ask yourself what is my opinion about this? How do I judge myself? How do I reflect poorly in front of myself?   Take some time to write this down-maybe in the notes app of your phone and run through this exercise when your brain starts going down the road of what will he think or she think. It sucks but it is SO helpful in the long-run to build a sense of self, self-confidence, self-love, and focus. This practice helps to keep your brain out of spinning and confusion and not deplete energy which none of us has any spare to waste!

Episode #17: How to Move Forward When How You Were Raised Conflicts with Your Current Values   Dr. Prianca shares how she once worked with a client suffering from an abusive marriage, only to slowly work their way into realizing that the real issue is with the client's dysfunctional upbringing. Ultimately, she explains how one can normalize going against taboos, beliefs, and programming that make life miserable.   What you will learn: How you were raised can impact you more than youthink Awareness is the first step to breaking negative cycles How to forge your own way   If you want to work with Coach Prianca Naik, MD, go to www.priancanaikmdcoaching.as.me to book a 30-minute consultation call.

That felt like a fact I grew up knowing. What I also grew up knowing was that a lot of my aunties and uncles were trapped in unhappy marriages. Openly miserable. Unhappy and constantly gossiping about other people's lives. Being competitive, trying to one up each other with a better house or fancier car. Or whose kid could get into the best college.   Personal growth and development. Mental health. Questioning how they were raised. This wasn't in the mix at all.   Mental health as I knew it was my father saying "you must PRODUCE" regardless of my effort.   What I knew as normal: most people had arranged marriages. They were unhappy and made it work. Made it work. That's funny right. What works for each person is different for him or her. But a lot of what worked for them doesn't work for us. Because we aren't in india.   Many of us are born and raised here. The internet exists. Lots of free-flowing information. Striving to do better than our parents as they did too.   Mental health is more acceptable to discuss as physician suicide is on the rise. Maybe something needs to change.   Today I want to talk about how you might be raised. And how that may impact you a lot more deeply than you think.   I am going to give an example of a southasian client of mine. An attorney.   She was never good enough always messing up in her parents' eyes. Nothing she did was good enough. When she got into a top 14 law school that was finally good. She "made it". When it came time to get married they wanted her to marry someone from a good family and good on paper.   She meet a handsome, charming, Indian doctor. Her parents were thrilled. She was finally doing the "right thing"   Once she married him, things got ugly on the inside. He would have fits and abuse her about the dishes not being done correctly. He was unpredictable. He would punch holes in walls. One time he hit her. She would gtell her mother about these issues because she was too ashamed to discuss them with her friends. She was afraid her friends would tell her to divorce him. Her mother would reply that "everyone has problems in their marriages." Because divorce wasn't an option. It wasn't until coaching with me, getting clear on her vision, understanding that she had been programmed a certain way that she realized how dysfunctional her home was. Her mom often abused her father so this behavior was normalized for her. What she realized with coaching though was that she didn't want to model this for her children.   She would often beat herself up about being "stupid" enough to marry such a person when there were early red flags. After she started working with me, she learned her to be gentle with herself and to give herself compassion. To acknowledge that she was programmed from a young age to 1) think abuse and dysfunction normal and 2) to marry an Indian doctor/someone good on paper 3)to make marriage work no matter what because that's all she ever observed.   As I often talk about…awareness… that's the key. The first step in changing, breaking free from the cycles and negative patterns to which you are accustomed.   She was able to heal herself, forgive her past self, like we talked about on last week's episode, for overlooking red flags to do what she thought was the right thing. To make her parents proud.   In south Asian families, gaining our parents' approval is huge. From going to a good college, getting a higher degree, being successful, and marrying "the right" and I say that with air quotes person.   This programming is deep. It can cloud us from what we actually want. Because living for other people, including our own parents, will never make us happy. What will make us happy is living a life that aligns with our own values.   Our values can be partially ours and the good ones we want to carry on from our parents.   There are also things we don't want to carry forward.   Back to my client: once she realized how dysfunctional her house was with abuse. She got clarity on whether this was acceptable to her regardless of what other people or her parents thought. Life eventually became unlivable for her. (probably because abuse tends to escalate over time).   She created boundaries and decided abuse wasn't acceptable to her. When her perfect on paper husband continued to abuse her, she realized nothing was going to change. She had changed. What was acceptable to her at the start of their marriage no longer was. She came to a decision. It was time for the marriage to end. Even though she had been taught that you don't get a divorce EVER. Even when her father told her she was setting a bad example for her children. Even though she was ashamed for her family to think she had failed or that her seemingly perfect life was so imperfect. The jig was up. And she was okay with that. She learned to do what was right for her. Separate from her southasian upbringing. She was paving her own way. Coaching helped her to gain the clarity she needed, to live a life aligning with HER values, to make clean decisions without spinning in confusion about what others do and think. She found herself confident, free, and at peace. She also learned that no one else really cared as much about her own life as she did. No one understood her day to day issues. She had to decide what worked for her and ultimately she realized divorce would never be okay by her. Because she was brought up to never get one. When she filed, she told me, she was so unhappy. She struggled with how doing the right thing hurting so much was counterintuitive. Sometimes our programming from a young age dictates our decisions as adults. Of course, we allow this. If we are able to acknowledge how we were programmed and make an active decision as to whether or not we want to subscribe to that particular programming, we can empower ourselves and take hold of our lives. If you, like my client, know in your gut your marriage for example is dysfunctional, that things aren't going to change and the right thing is to leave but you can't bring yourself to make a move. You feel stuck and paralyzed. Remember to give yourself grace, remove your self-judgment, follow your instinct, know you may not enjoy every right decision, know you can always change your mind, and do the hard things with self-love. Please be patient with yourself when making big scary daunting decisions. Trust yourself that you will find your way. We have a chance to do things better than the previous generations, break cycles of trauma.

How to deal with a narcissist.   Narcissists Signs of:   Life/the world revolves around them-their perspective their feelings Sense of entitlement Need excessive admiration Arrogant Lack empathy for others   In your parents—often you are an extension of them…this is not a fact. We are separate people from our parents and children   A childhood focus on competition and success often breed narcissism Genetic lack of psychological and emotional attachment to a parental figure can result in the child's perception of themselves as unimportant and unconnected to other people,   trauma, unpredictable or unreliable parental caregiving excessive praise criticism   The purpose of this episode is to help give you distance form anyone narcissistic or who is a narcissist in your life.   Narcissists often manipulate, gaslight, and blame-shift. When you're deep in the web of this, it is hard to see clearly.   By learning about narcissism, their tactics, you can start to gain distance and not get sucked into the toxicity. Narcissists will often make you feel like YOU are crazy…when they often have a skewed sense of reality-one they have created and believe.   Let's go over the terms next now that we've discussed narcissistic characteristics.   Manipulation. I think we are all familiar with this term. : to control or play upon by artful, unfair, or insidious means especially to one's own advantage   So a narcissist may drop certain statements to elicit a response from you. The more aware you are, the more you can combat this. Awareness is key in the process of creating peace in your life.   Once you are aware, you won't get sucked in. Keep practicing. It takes time. There is a pull sometimes, to participate in dysfunction, but we must acknowledge that pull and keep ourselves standing straight and high.   Gaslighting. Narcissists are really good at this. As are addicts. Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation in which the abuser attempts to sow self-doubt and confusion in their victim's mind. Typically, gaslighters are seeking to gain power and control over the other person, by distorting reality and forcing them to question their own judgment and intuition.   For example, in an argument, you may have told the person who is gaslighting you something the other day. They will flat out tell you you never told them that to maintain their power in the argument. Knowing this, you can decide not to fight back and waste energy on proving your point. Most narcissists aren't interested in getting help and aren't going ot change. Realizing this is empowering because you can then decide how you are going to handle him or her. Not engage in fights, not try to prove a point. Realize you're getting gaslit, that you're not crazy.   Once you have your awareness heightened, you can decide and not participate as much. Now remember, this will probably drive the narcissist crazy and he or she will try to perturb you, get a rise on you even more. He probably knows how to push your buttons and will do it.   It's up to you to decide how you want to handle it. To not get involved, to walk away, to participate which is not a good idea, or to perhaps cut this person out of your life if possible.   Similarly, addicts gaslight about using. Alcoholics will hide alcohol or be visibly drunk and deny drinking to the point where you may question your own instincts. Remember to trust your gut and not to let him shake you. And dissociate, create space between you and them and their disease.     Now to address the topic blame-shifting. Narcissists tend to be blameless. Nothing is ever their fault, but instead it's the people and circumstances around them that are at fault. This happens in addiction as well. For example, alcoholics will blame their drinking on a trigger. Ie. Flying on airplanes is anxiety-inducing for me and that's why I drank. Well you drank because you chose to drink. The flying is an excuse.   A narcissist will have a responsibility of some sort. They don't follow through and will blame you htat you didn't explain properly or some other reason. You're ot blame in the end. They may say this outright or in a more circuitous way. So instead of taking the blame on and feeling bad about yourself, you can see it for what it is. When we see clearly and are aware, we can be present with that, notice it, neutralize it, and then decide what we are goigin to do, then take action. This is my model of dealing with any and all tense situations. Write this down and try it.   Once we are aware of blame-shifting, we can neutralize it and take its power over us away. Then we are empowered. See how this works?   This way of life allows us to break the cycle maybe unhealthy cycles we have engaged in and pave a new path. Distance ourselves from getting sucked into old unhealthy patterns. This is how we create peace and freedom, build confidence.   Sometimes we end up in a place in life where we think to ourselves…how did I get here? You did have something to do with it. But I don't want you to take on a blaming attitude towards yourself. It's an awareness of owning how we got hwere we are today. Think about your childhood, were your core needs met? Did you feel loved unconditionally? A client of mine realized that her mother was a narcissist. Growing up in that atmosphere is very unhealthy. She never felt good enough. Everything was always her fault. Her mother would stop talking to her for months at a time in her 20's for silly reasons like “being disrespectful” all power plays she now realizes. She also realizes hwo unhealthy that was. She went on to marry a narcissist. He was great on paper, super charming, made her feel loved. He sucked her in and then begain abusing her mentally and physically. She realized several years into her relationship with him that he had been hiding his alcoholism from her. Everything clicked. She then learned about her own codependent tendencies as taught to her by her narcissistic mother. My client was always responsible for her mother's happiness and feelings. Her mother would often say “your problems are my problems or why are you doing this to me?” or when she would complain about her husband to her mother, her mother would talk about how much struggle her mother was having because her daughter was getting abused.   My client would feel guilty for everything and often try to control her spouse by walking on eggshells in hopes she wouldn't get abused. She would give ultimatums about his drinking in hopes that he would stop. None of this worked.   She would feel frustrated and miserable.   Once we started working together, she learned what codependence was and decided she no longer wanted to function that way with her mother or spouse. She then began to create boundaries. Meaning if x then y. She would tell her spouse, if you abuse me, I will leave the house. She felt empowered. She had a plan. She relinquished any and all responsibility over his drinking. He would abuse her in spurts. Leaving felt overwhelming. But…as she learned ot love herself through coaching with me and making clean decisions, things became clearer and clearer when they had once been so confusing.   She began to truly love herself. Something she had never done before. She asked herself, if I loved myself, would I keep putting myself in harm's way. The answer was no. she created a boundary for herself. NOT HIM. She did let him in on it though. She told him if you abuse me one more time, I am pretty sure I'm going to get off this endless rollercoaster ride. He physically abused her and she left. She filed for divorce about a year later.   She later told me that without coaching it would have taken her years to get clarity and finally leave. Once she moved out she felt that the air was lighter and she could get the clarity on the relationship that she needed. She was too in it when she lived with him. She's never been happier.     Have a narcissist in your life? Here's how to cope   Learning about narcissism Having labels for what they do When you feel you're being lied to to the point where you are questioning your own reality, ask yourself if you're being gaslit It's empowering   I hear you We can agree to disagree I'm not going to engage in this argument   Have a plan: if a narcissist starts raging at you, decide you'll walk out of the room. (create your own boundary; you don't have to keep them in the loop about it. It's just for you).   Give yourself compassion; the narcissist may try to blame you for everything and you may find yourself wanting to fix him or her. But it's not your fault.   Focus on maintaining your peace and taking care of yourself.   Let go of your need for them to see things your way   Decide not to take what they say seriously or personally   Take time to yourself and get space when you need it Love and accept yourself as you are   Remove yourself from tantrums   Know you can't change anyone except yourself, including the narcissist in your life.   Connect with yourself. Learn to love yourself and keep yourself safe above all else; this will naturally help guide you with the narcissist.   These tools I've discussed today will help unconfuse you, keep you from going back and forth and spinning and get you into clarity and eventually peace.   If you have problems similar to the client's problems I just mentioned, get in touch with me to talk and come up with a plan to move through this mental exhaustion and get to a lighter, free, more confident place.
