I believe that same little voice is telling me it is time to move on from this podcast. I started it almost a year and a half ago: after becoming vegetarian, during the pandemic and before I stopped drinking. I had some things to say and initia

The joy of missing out has freed me up to explore the things that are truly important to me.Contact:  Email - [email protected]
When you complete a hard thing it’s way more satisfying then when you complete something simple that required no effort. I get a quick thrill whenever I run a 5k but the feeling of accomplishment is much greater when I complete a 10k. Hard thin
The next time you encounter someone who has a different opinion than you, before you judge them make an effort to look for what you may have in common with them and respect them for that. Even if it is just the fact that you are both human bein
We all get overwhelmed at times. I am not trying to minimize what you are going through. Just know that it will not last forever and better times are coming.Contact:  Email - [email protected] or Instagram - @_michele_matthews
We waste a lot of time striving for this and working toward that and we ignore the blessings that are right in front of us. I guess I realize this more now that I’m at the age that I am. My advice to you: don’t wait until your almost 60 to look
I am a firm believer in the idea of belief. In other words, I honestly feel that you can do anything as long as you recognize that the first step is to simply believe.  Any action that you take starts with a thought. The way you think about a t
It can be difficult to leave social media entirely. Especially when the entire world is on it. I get it but it has been helpful for me to closely monitor what information I take in and make sound decisions about what I choose to ignore. Remembe
Seth Godin, the author of the book “Tribes” says: "The problem with competition is that it takes away the requirement to set your own path, to invent your own method, to find a new way. When you have competition, it's the pack that decides what
By the time this episode airs, I will be more than 200 days into my journey of alcohol freedom. Yay me! It is worth mentioning that this also marks my first winter without alcohol which means I am experiencing seasonal depression without alcoho
I am not a relationship expert by any stretch of the imagination. However, I have seen and ignored my fair share of red flags and one thing I know for sure – ignoring the flags does not make them go away. Ignoring them just makes a bad situatio
Being intentional is not always easy, however, I feel if you can train yourself to look at the bigger picture it will be less challenging.Contact:  Email - [email protected] or Instagram - @_michele_matthews
One of my favorite ways to journal is the simple stream of consciousness. Just writing down whatever thoughts come to mind. It’s a really good way to just clear your mind of cobwebs. Just get it out there.Contact:  Email - [email protected]
Is there really still a stigma associated with being divorced?Contact:  Email - [email protected] or Instagram: @_michele_matthews
Opening your mouth does not make you weak. It makes you human. And I’m telling you, more times than not you will find that the people in your life want to help you. They want the best for you. Think of it as a form of self-care. You’ve been car
I think as women we want to appear accommodating, or pleasant or flexible or whatever adjective that fits the scenario because if we don’t, we become fearful that we’ll be labeled difficult or angry or that we won’t be loved and we all want to
It is that time of year again. The time of year where we start thinking about the new year and our expectations regarding what is to come. I know for me, last year I had no expectations at all. After 2020, I was pessimistic about setting goals.
Here’s the thing, I spent seven years in an emotionally abusive relationship because I had no boundaries. Consequently, I spent the following six years behind a wall trying to heal from that nonsense. And I have spent the last five or so years
I know I’m not the only one who feels some type of way during this time of year. Maybe it’s not seasonal depression. Maybe you’ve lost a loved one, maybe you’re far away from family and friends, maybe you’ve experienced a breakup – whatever it
Carrying around unforgiveness is a burden. Imagine filling a backpack with bricks and carrying it around day after day. That’s what unforgiveness is. It’s a burden but it is a burden that you can choose to let go of at any time. You can choose
The truth is things are going to change. If we are blessed enough to live a long life, this are going to continue to change. Let’s not get mad about it or resist the change – acceptance is key.Contact: Email - [email protected] or Instagram
Bottom line: you have to recognize when something is over and make a decision either to change the situation (if it can be changed) or leave. No, it’s not easy but I know for me, it has been beneficial for my mental health.Contact: Email - msm
What was happening to me is the same thing that happens to many women my age. We get older and are no longer viewed as “doable” and somehow that translates to being less valuable, less worthy. We have been conditioned to measure our worth based
