   Slowing Down to Find Your Own Pace | Season 1 Wrap Up

   It’s been an amazing first season on Reclaiming Ourselves, but before we take a break, we had to get the panel back together! Sonya and all of her co-hosts are in the studio to share their thoughts on how to find the right pace for ourselves, allowing ourselves time to recover so we can show up as our best selves! This process of slowing down to determine the rhythm and timing that works best for us is an important part of reclaiming ourselves. Not only do we begin to reclaim our time and energy, but we start to understand what optimizes our aliveness. In this episode, we see how each co-host views rest at this busy time of year, and how they’re managing the demands of the season. Join us as we discuss: 16:39 The cultural messaging we receive that makes rest feel unsafe. 19:47 Why it’s hard to find our own tempo, and easy to just move at the pace the world sets for us. 25:07 Why it’s a good thing to celebrate slowing down. 39:56 When rest isn’t really restful, and how to tell the difference.

   Forgetting & Remembering | A Part of the Self Love Journey

   Remembering who we are is an important part of reclaiming ourselves, but the journey to reclaiming ourselves is a process of forgetting & remembering. This week Belinda & Sonya are talking about an important part of the self love journey & the road to more self-compassion. They share their experiences with the lifelong practice of remembering themselves (and forgetting themselves), and why finding grace for ourselves is foundational to having compassion for others. Join us as we discuss: 02:24 How losing and remembering ourselves defines the cyclical process of reclaiming ourselves. 14:42 Why our perception of others can trick us into thinking we’re the only ones experiencing negative emotions. 15:10 The ways that human responses to grief and loss are labelled as character flaws. 17:02 Why being amazing doesn’t mean being perfect. 24:26 How we abandon ourselves when we’re most vulnerable by judging ourselves for experiencing our feelings.

   Rewriting Unconscious Patterns | Reclaiming the Life we Want

   So much of how we show up in the world is influenced by unconscious patterns we’ve been repeating since childhood. These deep psychic grooves can help us survive, but they can also keep us from being the people we really want to be. In order to reclaim the life we want, we have to work on rewriting these unconscious patterns. Join Sonya and Laura as they explore the origins of these patterns, and how compassionate, loving self-exploration can help us get out of those ruts and back to a more authentic relationship with ourselves. Join us as we discuss: 05:23 The ways even loving, well-meaning family environments can encourage us to hide our true selves. 15:27 Being helpful because you want to, not to seek validation. 36:10 The importance of examining your patterns with curiosity and compassion. 37:04 How our unconscious patterns deplete our energy, and how to better resource ourselves. 40:02 The vital role of self-awareness and emotional intelligence in settling conflicts, internal and external.

   Changing Mindset | Shifting our Focus to Living instead of Achieving

   So often, we measure success by achievements: money made, promotions earned, awards bestowed. Sonya and Emily know that mindset can drive a wedge between ourselves and our values, and keep us from living truly and honestly. Changing mindset is about shifting how we see the world. In this episode, Sonya &amp; Emily dive into what it looks like to shift into a living mindset instead of an achievement mindset. They’ll show you how to feel when you’re stuck in the loop of achieving, and how to stop working for someday and start living for now. Join us as we discuss: 07:48 The illusion of an endpoint to achieving, beyond which we’ll find fulfillment. 10:15 How chasing achievement leaves us vulnerable to being exploited. 16:38 What to do when your circumstances make it challenging to take time for your own priorities. 21:25 How to recognize the differences between achievement mindset and living mindset.

    Spiritually Grounded | Reclaiming Something Bigger than Ourselves

    Spirituality takes many forms, from public worship to quiet meditation, and even cheering on your favorite sports team! Sonya and Belinda unpack what being spiritually grounded actually means &amp; share their thoughts on why a personal connection to spirit is an important part of reclaiming ourselves. Being spiritually grounded is being connected to our inner self AND connected to something bigger than ourselves. It is not either/or, but both. That bigger connection can be based on a higher power, community or nature. It is a cultivation of our connection to something safe and supportive and that relationship, what defines safe and supportive for each of us, is unique. They suggest methods and resources that can help you get started with exploring your spiritual side, and the core considerations for building a personalized spiritual practice. Join us as we discuss: 09:52 The way our brain reacts when we feel connected to something bigger than ourselves. 14:17 Why we think that resourcing ourselves requires disconnecting from others. 16:25 Compassion as a starting point for spiritual growth. 16:51 “Spiritual bypassing,” and the lure of accessing higher awareness while ignoring its spiritual and emotional content. 37:44 Why creating space to be with ourselves is so important to any spiritual practice.

    Reclaiming Our Mental Health | Whole Body Mental Health

    We can’t explore the topic of reclaiming ourselves without a discussion on reclaiming our mental health! This week, Laura &amp; Sonya talk about the way our concept of mental health has changed over time, and how that changing picture has resulted in new strategies for nurturing ourselves. They explore the concept of whole body mental health, moving beyond just brain or mind health to understanding the connection mental health has with both our physical and emotional body. You’ll learn why we need to see the brain as just a part of our entire nervous system, and to honor the body as a deeply insightful source of information about our wellbeing. Join us as we discuss: 12:38 How to define mental health and our relationship to it. 21:02 The ways that personal and intergenerational trauma can manifest not just as stories, but in our physiology. 40:42 Embracing our senses as a path to self-awareness. 44:27 Practices that can get us started on the road to reclaiming our mental health.
