How To Cope With The Stress Of War Starting

It is with such a heavy heart that I write this post. Yesterday Russia invaded the Ukraine. I can’t imagine waking up and hearing my president say we are under attack, stay inside and let the military handle it. Likewise, I cant imagine waking up and hearing my president tell us we are attacking another country. Telling us that this is a long-planned attack… It is frightening for many. And not being there, watching it from over here,...

The Signs of Being Cheated On

Last week on Conscious Straight Talk With Katie & Lindsey we started a series on being cheated on. Katie has been bravely sharing her story with us and I thought it would be important to list here the signs of being cheated on. Being cheated on is a very painful experience that sadly all too many of us experience. 1 in 4 people will be cheated on.

The 5 Love Languages

As we prepare for our Valentine’s Day evening, I thought it would be fun to talk a little about the 5 love languages and why they are important. The love languages were identified in 1992 by relationship expert Dr. Gary Chapman. After years upon years of relationship counseling, he came up with 5 main ways in which we give and receive love. This is important because often times we are giving love in the way we want it, but not...

Getting Caught In The Victim Mentality Trap

Are you one of the many who have fallen into the victim mentality trap? Ask yourself, when bad things happen in in life, do you take responsibility for them or do you blame the world? If it’s the latter, you have fallen into the victim mentality trap. This happens more often than you think, but if you get stuck in this mode for too long, it can be a real problem. A very wise man once told me that the victim mentality trap will only...

Let’s Talk About Eating Disorders

An all to common subconscious response to unhealed childhood trauma is to develop an eating disorder. Eating disorders affect nearly 30 million Americans a year, specifically 20 million women and 10 million men yearly. This is a crazy high number and much to my disappointment, the topic is still pretty taboo. Though I have never suffered from an eating disorder, I did have an amazing food revolution where I learned so much about...

The Narcissist’s Flying Monkeys

Remember in the Wizard of Oz how the Wicked Witch of the West had a group of brainwashed flying monkeys to do her evil bidding? When any character saw them coming, they would duck and cover in fear and fright, right, knowing that they were bringing pain and hurt for whomever the witch happened to be angry at, at that moment. As it turns out the narcissist has flying monkeys too!! What Is A Narcissist’s Flying Monkey? A flying monkey...
