Consider Yourself Hugged

What a woman! Over the last 16 years, Rebecca has helped her clients to release old blocks, traumas, loss, and hidden fears to find a deeper sense of self-worth and determination to live life on their own terms. Today, she's going to help you understand 5 aspects of fear:1. How can fear help you find out what is out of alignment with your life?2. Why is fear your friend (even though it sucks)?3. What happens when you attach a judgement to an emotion?4. How does someone make the leap of faith out of suffering into the unknown?5. Why is it important to not judge yourself or your situation when you’re suffering?Join us! Show notes at https://www.tamiwest.com/post/cyh80fear

A few weeks ago we posted this on our CYH Facebook group: regarding the dance performed by Cardi B and Meghan the Stallion on the Grammy's. "Hey ladies! First, warning: GRAPHIC VIDEO (Click here to watch)! Now, why are we posting it? Lots of discussion/disagreement about this Grammy performance, particularly as it relates to women. We see SO many layers of discussion here and want to have a conversation about it on one of our upcoming podcast episodes.We’d like to know your thoughts. Please be respectful to one another as you comment."We had lots of comments, in fact, too much to talk about in one episode. We tried our best to organize the comments into general categories.

Until fall, Consider Yourself Hugged!

You may notice this is not session 6 of "The Stress Club." Although based on number of listens I’m assuming you aren’t noticing at all

Remember when I introduced you to the concept of Interpretative Repertoires, or themes? Today we are going to talk about one of three overall ways women talked about stress, and that is as “the plight of women”. In order to best understand this we'll start with a little biology. I am not an expert on gender differences. I do have an undergraduate degree in biology so I have a decent understanding, but there is much debate over gender, how much is biological how much is cultural etc. So, as I’ve said 1 million times before, I don’t mean all women or all men even if I accidentally say it. But there are differences, and I'm excited to share them and how it affects women's conversations about stress!Show notes post by 7 am CST, Tuesday 5/18.

Today’s chapter, Ch. 5, I titled "Got Gas?"! I’ll tell you why in a sec! Today we are ready to talk about that word, that word that I try to forbid everyone from saying LOL! That word "stress"! Show notes https://bit.ly/3cqXA7HCYH63.

Welcome to the Stress Club Session 3!So far we have talked about frogs in pots, how we areconditioned that stress it’s just part of life today. In chapter 2 we looked at our stories and the formula for happiness and the influences on how we react to life events. Then in Chapter 3, I gave you an overview of how I studied stress and how it is different from other studies. Today I am sharing with you probably my favorite chapter, my favorite topic of this entire book for women, our language! It’s probably never been in the front of your radar to study the history of women’s language, so let me help you with that today! I’ll give credit to a few women who really paved the way and talk about our language in three different views: Language as Deficient, Language as Different, and Language as Rapport.It's a good one!!

Last week we laid the foundation and talked about the happiness formula and the importance of choices. That’s what the rest of this book is about, Choices. Remember, this book and study is not about what stresses you out, how you feel when you are stressed, or even managing stress,. It is about the concept of how women talk about stress. This chapter, if you really grab onto it and adopt it, can change your life in many areas, not just stress. I can almost guarantee you that you have not heard of the field of Critical Discursive Psychology. But you are about to, and it's gonna be good! Show notes at https://bit.ly/3f1fM9qCYH61.
