"Many people struggle with having a cluttered mind. You need to say it out loud. Get it out of your head. Get it out into the ether. Don't keep it inside. Allow yourself to say the thing that is taking up space in your mind so that you can have a mind that actually is thriving and peaceful within." - Vasavi Kumar

Self-talk is your inner voice. It's part of your stream of consciousness that allows you to process and understand what's happening around you. My guest Vasavi Kumar says that how you talk to yourself matters. It sets the tone for every experience in your life and will bring you either closer to or farther from the truth of who you are. Today, she'll share how we can step into our power and say it out loud. Vasavi Kumar is a life coach and licensed therapist with a myriad of in-person, print, televised, and social media experience. A first-generation Indian American growing up on Long Island and diagnosed with bipolar disorder at the age of 19, she learned to become highly self-aware and take action to create the life she wanted for herself. In this interview, Vasavi offers insight into how we can tune into our inner self to hear our self-guidance and wisdom. She teaches us how to start talking to the voice in our head with compassion and acceptance rather than be influenced by those around us.

Ep. 184: Getting Real About Alcoholism, Learning in Isolation & Bringing Women Together with Mindy Hofmann   Quote: “I learned that being honest and vulnerable, like sitting here talking to you like this, is how you can help people; because hopefully someone's listening.” – Mindy Hofmann Summary:  Do you know someone who has battled addiction, or alcoholism? Well, today we are braving how to support them, and learn from a certain women's story how change and transformation is possible after hitting rock bottom.    Mindy Hofmann, community leader and podcast host, and I were introduced by a mutual friend. Obviously, we have so much in common! She has had me in her hot seat, but it wasn't until I had her in mine that I heard her truly dynamic story. Mindy shares her incredible journey from addiction to recovery, offering insights into the darkest moments of her life, how motherhood impacted both her fall and rise, and the transformation that led her to embrace authenticity and serve others.    In this episode we talk about… The distractions of the glamorous life growing up in Hollywood. The hard truth of hitting rock bottom & coming to terms with addiction to alcohol.  The power of healing through creativity, such as the performing arts. The importance of sharing your personal story for yourself and for others. Bio: Mindy Hofman is the founder of Women of Austin and the creator and host of The Women of Austin Podcast. Mindy is also the Vice President of the new Women of Austin Foundation, helping to support women in the community. She is a self-proclaimed women's rights champion and strongly believes in the transformative power of women supporting women. Mindy and her family moved to Austin, TX in 2017, where she faced important life decisions involving her going to rehab and getting a divorce. In the divorce, she lost her business and had to start over. While it was the hardest thing she ever did, it was the best thing that ever happened to her.  After some time and soul searching, Mindy realized that she had to follow her heart and find a way to bring women together to share their stories and create community, connection, and collaboration. So, after months of planning and encouragement from her friends, she created Women of Austin and the Women of Austin Podcast.   Connect with Mindy: Follow her on Instagram @mindy.hofman.

Happy Satiated Saturday! “WHO is choosing your food?” is one of the most powerful questions you can ask yourself when trying to cultivate an empowering and regulating relationship with food. Your internalized mother, father, siblings, family, teachers, culture can be choosing your food at any meal instead of your present day self. It's important to get to know your internal voices to distinguish who is with you when you're interacting with food. Our internal dialogues can be cultivated at such a young age. Have you ever stopped to really listen to your inner voices and get curious about where they're coming from? Does it sound like your mom or your dad or a teacher or a mentor? If you didn't feel like your parents could hold space for your emotions and reactions, you learned to keep everything to yourself. Beliefs and perspectives that maybe never sat quite right with you go unchallenged and become the rules to live by to make sure you continue to feel like you belong in your family. Please be compassionate with yourself now. This was you doing the best you could as a young person trying to make sure you would survive in this world. Now, you get the opportunity to explore who shows up with you while you eat so that you can practice being with yourself when in relationship with food. In this week's episode, I chat with Vasavi Kumar, author of Say It Out Loud, about inner voices, self expression, identifying when your inner voice is yours or not, and cultivating your bold voice. You can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/the-importance-of-exploring-your-inner-voiceIdentifying "Who is eating?" is a core exploration in Somatic Eating®. If you're curious to learn more about this for yourself, there are 10 more days to sign up for the Somatic Eating® Program!

Do you ever feel left behind or think you're so far from where you want to be? This feeling is normal, but how does it manifest in your self-talk? Is it belittling or comforting? For most of us, it's that voice in our head that keeps saying we're not enough — we're never enough.  Goal Digger, it's time to change this.  Negative self-talk ISN'T about being positive all the time. It IS, however, about finally showing yourself some well-deserved love and compassion… and the queen of saying it out loud is saying it loud and proud on Goal Digger today. Vasavi Kumar has the sort of confidence you can FEEL and now she's going to share how you can harness the power of confidence in your life.  In this episode, she shares her insights on how self-talk, confidence, and self-trust are all interconnected to each other. She emphasizes that we're often our harshest critics and our negative self-talk is something we would never say to others. So why is it that we're so harsh to ourselves? At its core, it's a lack of love of compassion for ourselves.  If you're struggling with self-sabotage and negative self-talk, tune in to the episode NOW!
