Showing Up For Yourself and Others When Emotions Run High
Nov 19, 202400:21:17Tap to summarizeIn today’s episode, I’m sharing how I’ve been processing the past few weeks. Emotions are all over the place so I’m relying on the tried and true tools as well as some new ones to help me get back to center. (I’m still unsure where that is these days.) When emotions run high, we often reach for things to numb out, help push them down, or “just get through”. I did that for years, and it never made me feel better. It only delayed the inevitable tidal wave of feelings that were irrelevant to time and place. I’m sharing a few things that are working for me and I hope they’ll be helpful for you as well. Finding our way back to center is vital to our emotional well-being but allowing ourselves (and others) to “be in our feelings” is also important. You’re never alone in how you feel and having people in your life who listen and support you in hard times is life-saving. All women are welcome in the AWEd AF community.******SHOW NOTES:Listen to my episode with Ann Imig about Positive Psychology (NOT toxic positivity) Want a hat like mine?

Being a “Mindful Migrant” with Heather
Oct 29, 202401:05:07Tap to summarizeHave you ever wanted to just pick up and live somewhere else? I don’t mean like the next town over….I’m talking like the next country over.

It's Never Too Late (or Early) to Pursue Ourselves and The Life We Want
Oct 22, 202400:25:11Tap to summarizeNothing lights me up more than the topic of women pursuing themselves and a life THEY want.I know too many women who have put themselves on the back burner for their entire lives (I was one of them!) because they didn’t want to appear selfish because either they were a mom, a wife, a caretaker, or a million other roles.Society often tells women, directly and indirectly, that we are the ones who need to make sacrifices in order to serve others. We are the ones to give up on our dreams to meet the needs of others. We are the ones who need be at the beck and call of others when they need help.But what about OUR needs? What about what WE want? Why do those things get discounted or dismissed so easily?There is no better time to start then now, regardless of our age, to pursue ourselves and the life we want.I have so many thoughts on this and I’m sharing them today on this podcast episode. Tune in then come over and join me on Substack in our AWEd AF community to chat further.

Feeling unsupported? This is normal but also, not okay.
Oct 15, 202400:29:12Tap to summarizeIt can be so disheartening when the people closest to us don’t support our businesses or our creative endeavors. Unfortunately, it’s normal but that doesn’t mean it’s okay.I’m sharing some of my own experiences as well as what has helped me look at the whole situation differently which feels healthier and brings me more peace.I share this for two reasons:1. You are not alone in how you feel so welcome to the club.2. To bring awareness to people who may not realize how their silence affects the creators, entrepreneurs, small business owners, writers, artists, etc. in their lives.SHOW NOTES:Watch the IG Reel from @SociallySands that inspired this episode******Follow Hallie on socials:IG @theawedlife and @hallie_sawyerThreads: @Hallie_SawyerTikTok: @theAWEdLife******Subscribe to my Substack for my weekly newsletter, exclusive podcast updates, to support the podcast, or to join our private AWEd AF community.******The AWEd Life podcast is supported by:IONIntelligence of Nature Gut Support: Defend from toxins, support healthy digestion, and boost immune functionFour Sigmatic Coffee- Unlock the power of mushrooms by ordering here and using Hallie10 for a 10% discount PERFECT AMINO™ is composed of pure essential amino acids, the building blocks of protein, in a form and ratio that is up to 99% utilized, but without the caloric impact and without breaking a fast.
