What's in a day? Everything!

It's a day that recognizes the centuries of oppression of women and the ongoing oppression of women.

Have we come far? Yes

Have we come far enough? No

I'm where I am today because of incredible women who have mentored me. I aim to be a mentor to other women so I can open doors that were opened for me.

This day is a day of love and rebellion.

So, what's in a day? Everything 💜

What if I told you that you don't have to believe what you think.

The story you tell yourself is most likely bullsh*t.

We all carry outdated, unjust and false stories.

Those stories have been gifted to us by:
- critical parents
- trauma stories
- unrealistic expectations
- teachers who said you weren't good enough
- partners that triggered shame
- social expectations
- perfectionism
- sexism

The list is long!

The most radical thing you can do is question yourself - is this my story? Or was it given to me? Do I want to keep it?

You have the power to determine if you carry that story.

If it doesn't serve you and it's not true, ditch it!!!

Goodbye 2024 and hello gorgeous 2025 ✨️

All endings lead to new beginnings. I love new beginnings, and I love the adventure of what is possible.

Most people fear the unknown and let that fear influence their lives. I've learned the hard way that no matter how much I plan and try to control the future, life has other plans for me.

I've learned to lean into uncertainty and build a home there. Certainty is an illusion that provides false comfort.

This year has been filled with joy, laughter, adventure, new friends, and fun with old friends. It was also filled with grief, tears, challenges, betrayal, changes, and frustrations.

All of it has been messy....because life is messy.

I wish that your 2025 brings you joy, flexibility, tenacity, confidence, boundaries, and self-love 💜

Hello Wednesday!!! Let's share some wisdom with each other - what's the best piece of advice you've ever received??? In any area of your life 🤔

I've received a lot of amazing advice in my life but the one that comes to mind today is from my dad - losing your temper doesn't solve anything, keeping a clear head in times of struggle will get you far 💜

I'm still a spicy half-Latina feminist who can jump on any soap box and rant with the best of them, but I took my dad's advice and watched him navigate difficult situations with a calm and compassionate stance.

Share the best advice you've received 👇👇🏿👇🏽

Hey Mental Makeover Community! 🌟

I'm thrilled to announce the release of our latest podcast episode on Mental Makeover Radio! 🎙️ This week, we dive deep into the often misunderstood topic of self-care. We hear the term all the time, but do we really know what it means and why it's so crucial for our well-being? Here are three key takeaways from this episode that I believe will transform your understanding and practice of self-care:

1. Redefining Self-Care: It's More Than Just Bubble Baths and Wine
We often associate self-care with activities like taking bubble baths, enjoying a glass of wine, or going shopping. While these can be enjoyable, they might not truly address our deeper needs. Self-care is an intentional practice aimed at removing distractions and reconnecting with our basic human needs. It's about getting back to being human beings, not just human doings. The goal is to protect our well-being and prevent the long-term impacts of stress.

2. Understanding the Brain's Role: Dopamine, Cortisol, and Serotonin
Our brains are wired in fascinating ways, and understanding this can help us better manage stress and self-care. Here’s a quick rundown:

Dopamine: The reward center that gives us that feel-good excitement. It's great in small doses but can lead to stress if we constantly seek it.

Cortisol: The stress hormone that, when elevated, can block the production of serotonin, our feel-good endorphin.

Serotonin: The calming, soothing endorphin that we need more of in our lives. It’s like that warm cup of tea or a cozy pair of slippers.

3. Practical Steps to Enhance Self-Care
To truly practice self-care, we need to focus on increasing serotonin and reducing both dopamine hits and cortisol levels. Here are some actionable steps:

Identify and Amplify Calming Activities: Find activities that bring you a sense of calm and peace, and make more time for them.

Limit Dopamine Hits: Recognize activities that give you a quick dopamine hit but don't provide long-term satisfaction. Gradually reduce the time spent on these activities.

Actively Decrease Stress: Work on identifying and reducing stressors in your life. Small, consistent changes can make a big difference over time.

I hope you find this episode as enlightening as I did while recording it. Self-care is not just a buzzword; it's a vital practice for our mental and physical health. 🌿

Listen to the full episode now and let me know your thoughts! Your feedback means the world to me. 💬

Until next time, be bold, be brave, be well. 💖

Self-care is hard!!! Finding the time and the energy to create space for it and if you don't, you'll continue to feel depleted and stressed.

I know I have to be so intentional about self-care because if I'm not, then I'll do some fluffy stuff that feels good in the moment but doesn't have a lasting effect.

What do you do for self-care? Drop it in the comments - let's share ideas 💡

Hey everyone! 🌟

I'm thrilled to announce the latest episode of Mental Makeover Radio, where we dive deep into a topic that affects us all: time. In this episode, we explore the difference between time management and time allocation, and how this simple shift in perspective can transform your life. Here are three key takeaways from this episode:

1. Words Matter: Time Management vs. Time Allocation

As a therapist, I can't stress enough how the words we use shape our reality. The term "time management" often carries a negative connotation, implying control and dealing with something burdensome. On the other hand, "time allocation" feels more intentional and empowering. It's about setting aside time for specific purposes, aligning with your values and priorities. This shift can make you feel more in control and less stressed about how you spend your time.

2. Time is Our Greatest Asset

We often talk about time the same way we talk about money—spending it, saving it, managing it. But unlike money, time is a finite resource that we all have in equal measure. Recognizing time as our greatest asset can change how we approach our daily lives. Instead of constantly seeking more time, we should focus on how we allocate the time we already have to activities that bring us joy and fulfillment.

3. The Power of Intentional Allocation

One of the most impactful shifts you can make is to move from managing your time to allocating it. This means being intentional about where your time goes, whether it's work, family, hobbies, or self-care. By doing so, you reduce the resistance and guilt often associated with time management. You become the driver of your own life, making conscious choices about how to spend your most valuable resource.

I hope you find these insights as transformative as I did. If you enjoyed the episode, please follow and rate the show. And if you think someone else could benefit from this conversation, feel free to share it with them.

Thanks for being a part of the Mental Makeover community. Until next time, be bold, be brave, be well. 💪✨
