| Stop Forcing Friendships - Signs You’ve Outgrown Certain Friends | 20 Aug 2024 | 00:26:16 | |
Friendships are supposed to last forever, right? But what happens when the people who once felt like home start feeling like strangers?
In this episode of A Really Good Cry, we dive deep into the bittersweet reality of outgrowing friendships. As we grow and change, so do our needs and desires, and sometimes that means the friendships we’ve held onto for years no longer fit the person we’re becoming.
I’ll share my personal journey of recognizing when certain friendships were no longer serving me, and how I navigated the emotional turmoil that comes with letting go. We’ll explore the signs that indicate you might be outgrowing a friend—like when conversations start to feel repetitive or when spending time together leaves you drained rather than energized. But this isn’t just about saying goodbye; it’s about understanding that outgrowing a friendship doesn’t mean failure. Instead, it’s an opportunity for growth, both for you and the other person.
If you’ve ever felt guilty about outgrowing a friendship or wondered if you’re the only one going through this, this episode is for you. Tune in as we tackle the challenges of evolving relationships, offer tips on how to handle these transitions with grace, and ultimately remind you that it’s okay to move forward. After all, personal growth sometimes requires leaving old connections behind to make room for new ones.

| Distorted Self Image: Let Go of Negative Self Talk and Create a Positive Relationship With Your Body | 14 May 2024 | 00:28:47 | |
Breathe in positivity, exhale negativity. Ever caught yourself looking in the mirror and just feeling, well, not great about what you see? We all have those moments, and they can lead to us being super hard on ourselves. When we see a distorted image of ourselves, especially about our body and how we look, we tend to become self-critical and resort to negative self-talk. Today, we are going to focus on breaking out of that kind of mindset and focusing on giving ourselves so much love. Let's talk about how to get out of this distorted mindset and focus more on self-appreciation. We start by discovering three things we truly love about ourselves and how to be in a space where societal expectations and opinions no longer hold sway over your authenticity. There is a profound impact in changing the way we talk to ourselves. Positive self-talk isn't just about words; it's about nurturing inner dialogue that ignites joy and self-compassion. But it doesn't end with self-love. Compliments are more than words; they're a gift of affirmation that uplifts not just the recipient, but also the giver. Let's celebrate the magic of being unapologetically ourselves and embrace the beauty we hold within us.

| Are You Emotionally Unavailable? How To Control Your Emotions So They Don’t Control You | 30 Apr 2024 | 00:38:20 | |
When was the last time you cried? For some, crying can be seen as a sign of weakness or vulnerability. Society often teaches us that showing our feelings, especially by crying, should be avoided or suppressed, especially in certain situations or if we want to appear strong. But it's crucial to understand that crying is a natural and healthy way to release bottled-up emotions and stress. It's a physical response that helps us deal with different situations and emotions. Trying to hold back tears can negatively affect our mental and emotional well-being, possibly making us more stressed, anxious, or even physically unwell. Today, let's talk about the positive effects of crying and releasing our emotions. Crying is not a sign of weakness, but rather an essential aspect of being human. It provides an avenue for emotional release, stress relief, enhanced mood, mental clarity, and deeper connections with others. So, the next time you feel like shedding a tear, don't hold back. It's perfectly okay and can be quite beneficial for your overall well-being. What We Discuss:

| Is Your Help Doing More Harm Than Good? Signs It's Time to Stop Helping Someone | 09 Jul 2024 | 00:34:54 | |
How much help is too much? This question hits close to home for many of us. We all want to be there for our friends and family, but there comes a point where we need to step back. Offering too much help can end up making them dependent on us, preventing them from learning to stand on their own. It's all about finding that middle ground – being supportive without taking away their chance to learn and grow independently. Today, let's explore the idea of figuring out when our help might be excessive, and whether it's causing any negative impacts on us or the person we're assisting. We've all been in situations where we give a lot without receiving the same in return. To handle this, we need to understand what genuine support truly means. Always remember that there are times when you don't have to be the hero for everyone. Sometimes, it's important to take care of yourself first before reaching out to help others.

This isn’t about blaming doctors; it’s about us learning to reconnect and feel in control of our own health. So, let’s sit down together and dive into these beautiful, age-old practices that help us feel more balanced and truly cared for. We deserve to love and nurture our bodies, and I can’t wait to share how we can start doing that!

How often do you look at old photos and think, I looked so much better then? It’s so easy to romanticize the past, to hold onto this idea that our younger self was somehow better—but was she actually happier? Did she feel whole, confident, and at peace? Or was she just as self-conscious, just as critical, just as unsure? In this episode of A Really Good Cry, I dive deep into something I’ve been working on myself—grieving the past versions of me while learning to fully embrace the woman I am today. We’ll talk about why aging feels so daunting, how society tricks us into believing our worth fades with time, and the mindset shifts that can truly set us free. I also share the biggest lesson I’ve learned from my grandma, who at 90 years old is the most beautiful, vibrant force of nature—inside and out. Because here’s the truth: our value isn’t tied to how we look, how young we are, or how much we’ve changed. It’s about how deeply we live, love, and grow. So if you’ve been feeling like you’re losing parts of yourself with time, this one’s for you. Let’s shift that perspective, together.
