Help Me Be Me is an emotional toolkit for creating positive change in yourself. I like to think of it as self-help for people who hate self-help. I'm Sarah May, coach/author/all-around happy person, and these are the tools that work for me in my life. For all of my offerings you can check out YayWithMe.com What I share on this show is my personal opinion. It's not a diagnosis for treatment or a substitute for professional help. If you're suffering, please reach out to your local emergency services or call 9-1-1. Find this podcast on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/sarahmayb

Ep 231: Putting Down Coping Mechanisms That No Longer Serve You
Episode 231
Friday, August 30, 2024 β’ Duration 01:01:52
This is about growing your soul by doing the real work that will advance you. Seeing the muscle that needs work. Iβm inviting you to choose to work on a coping mechanism that hurts you. To see around it β separate it from your person, and take apart its inner workings.
Β
I think a lot of people keep themselves small or keep themselves occupied in things like relationships as a means to stave of feelings of pain. The pain results from an original wound that feels so vague and powerful that we stop to look at it. If you have a loop in your life, you might think itβs just βyou.β You may have accepted it. But that is because youβre still in it and blinded by it. In order to change, we have to step back and start to work on it in very specific ways. This episode has tools for fostering that. So that we can follow our purest dreams, not the loop of whatβs in front of us.

Have you lost a bit of shine and joy? This is a path back to gratitude and hope. This is an energy tuning episode all about restoring limitlessness and optimism on a mindset level but it also relates to being a good person, friend and parent. Itβs about being conscious and responsible with your energy and tuning it to support openness and rationality. Never forget: Energy is a chain reaction: what we put out changes others, and also changes what comes our way. Think of yourself like a tuning fork. You resonate with the world around you in whatever way you are filtering your thinking. Letβs be careful and conscious about that β starting right now!

Ep 221: Redefining Yourself - Shedding Older Selves
Episode 221
Friday, April 12, 2024 β’ Duration 46:38
We all grow, mature and become different people, however sometimes we cannot see that change or those around us cannot see it. This is about redefining yourself to yourself. Allowing room to witness yourself, anew. Especially in the face of people who treat us based off an old identity. This episode has exercises to help you see where you are headed and mark the change youβve made over the past year. Itβs also for examining your actions as a means to map out your internal allegiances. Often we cannot see how we truly feel because we get lost in the day-to-day content of powerful or repetitive emotions. The goal for me coming out of this episode is for you to feel as if you were given a new awareness of yourself. One that is positive, clear, and empowered. And that you can see the conscious change you have made in your life.
Β
If you want to know who you are, just look at your physical actions. They are a map to our truth: what we believe, what we are working on, and also how we feel about ourselves. They tell us who we are more than our words, so if you want to learn something new, tune into what has changed. And take heartβchange is change! No matter how incremental.

Ep 137: Fight Loops in Relationships - Finding Empowerment
Tuesday, October 27, 2020 β’ Duration 42:02
This is for anyone who is finding themselves in predictable fight loops with their partner or any other close relationship. Maybe you are frustrated they are not doing what you think they should be doing or you find yourself exploding at them then feeling weak and shitty about yourself.

Itβs paralyzing and ugly and crippling in how it makes you feel. This is rock bottom. The fucking worst of days. Where do you go from here? Thatβs what this episode is about.

Ep 135: Empty on the Inside - Attention-Seeking on the Outside
Tuesday, September 15, 2020 β’ Duration 41:39
How being overly identified with what others think is tied to a lack of self-love. This is for anyone who doesnβt trust themselves and generally doesnβt feel theyβre a quality person. If you act in really selfish and self-destructive ways β maybe you betray others and lie or cheat. Or you feel really heavily identified with your body or your appearance, or the attention of others β but you donβt feel thereβs much more thatβs good about you and who you are, then this is for you. This is about beginning the process of understanding why this is happening and also starting to build up faith that you are a good person.
