Success After Excess

Hey and welcome back to this week's episode! This week I wanted to talk about fear and how to directly affects the decisions that we make when it's running us! I hope that you're dong amazing and thanks as always for taking the time to check out today's episode!

Welcome back for this weeks episode!  When it comes to addictions there is one certainty and that is.... it doesn't discriminate! It affects people regardless of their race, orientation, financial status, etc. Addiction, although seemingly more prevalent in certain circumstances, can affect anyone given the correct variables are present.  I've met a number of individuals who are adamant that addiction only affects a certain type of person with less than desirable attributes.  The reality is that addiction will take on, and take down anyone that it can. It doesn't care what your bank account boasts, what brand of clothes you wear, what type of home you live in and so on.  Thank you for checking out today's episode and I hope that you have an incredible week xx

Did you ever have a feeling that you were being lied to? I know I have!  My addiction was one of the many false information locations in my life. Being battered and broken emotionally and mentally though, I tended to believe what it told me about myself... who I was... how other people saw me... where I was going... what I was worth... what I deserved and I can tell you that none of what it told me was good. Today I wanted to share a little something and that it... IT'S ALL LIES!!

Hello and welcome back for this week's episode! I was having technical difficulties getting this one up and working however, here we are all sorted! Thank you for your patience! Today I wanted to share some perspective around what we give up for addiction vs what we give up for sobriety.  Thank you for tuning in and I hope that you enjoy!  Have an amazing week and I look forward to chatting soon!

Have you ever heard the quote "A mistake repeated more than once is a decision."? I had not until the other day and it hit me hard as I used to live my life defying set words and wondering why the universe always rained down sh*t on my head. The truth of it all is that we keep being tried to learn the same lesson until we learn it and it sticks. I hope that you're having an incredible week and I hope that you enjoy this week's episode!

Welcome back to this week's episode!!  Today I wanted to talk about the ALL or NOTHING approach and how there's an easier softer way to get where you want to go! Have an awesome week and as always, thank you for tuning in!

Alright so you may have heard this notion of "We all have the same 24 hours so there's no excuses!"  Yes.... we absolutely all have access to 24 hours each day... no more... no less. I used to thrive on this idea but moreover, I used to truly believe it... One day though, it dawned on me that although we all have 24 hours a day, that does not mean that all of our 24 look the same. With that, I don't think we should use our circumstances as excuses to not chase our dreams, hit our goals and live a life that fills us up and sets us on fire.  What it does mean though is that our circumstances might shift the path that each of us take to get where we are going, to achieve the outcomes we desire and so on. If we are going to grow, we need to be flexible.

Hello everyone and welcome to today's episode! Pity parties can be super easy to fall into but in all honesty, they're not loads of fun nor are they really helpful!  It's always important to acknowledge our feelings and the circumstances surrounding them, however when we start to live in them, we are headed for trouble on multiple fronts!  With that, let's dive into today's episode and thank you, thank you, thank you for tuning in and spending some of your time here with me! 

Hey everyone and welcome back to this week's episode!  First and foremost.... HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY!!!!!  On that note, what are we working for? Change! That's what we will be talking about today.  Thank you as always for tuning in and I look forward to next week!

There are plenty of people in our lifetime that will lie to us and deceive us.... there are even certain institutions that mill offer their misleadings! In my personal experience though, nothing lies quite like addiction and that's what I wanted to chat with you all about today. I hope that wherever you're tuning in from, that you're doing well and that you know that you're not alone! 

Hey everyone and welcome back for this week's episode! Today I wanted to talk about the effort that can go into addiction... It's like a full time job on steroids and literally giving it one's all to hit the required quotas.  Looking back today... my life was exhausting... the lies, the fronts the upkeep of trying to convince the world that I was something else was overwhelming.  Thankfully, todays is a different story! Thank you all for tuning in and I hope that you enjoy the episode!

Hey everyone! How are you all this week? I hope very well! So this week I wanted to dive into a concept that led my to a much needed emotional release recently. It was the realization or rather acceptance and acknowledgement that there was never and still is not something wrong with me. Rather, due to my genetic make up, coupled with my upbringing and experiences, I came to understand that things happened and on account of those things, More things happened, my addiction kicked into high gear and the destructive behaviours escalated.  Now this wasn't a pass that excused all that I had done wrong so to speak, however it is the opportunity that I needed to see myself as someone who was sick and in in great need of help if I was ever going to get better.  We all need a place to start and in all honesty... this was a huge jumping off point for me and perhaps it can be for others too!

I remember what it felt like to not feel worthy of love... I remember the guilt... the shame... all of the things that helped me reinforce the notion that I was not worthy. Once I sobered up things began to change though and I began to feel loved and started to understand how to love myself.  It's been a process but just in case you're not sure... YOU are WORTHY of LOVE!

Hello all! This week I wanted to talk about knowing your worth!  When I was in the throws of my addiction I settled HARD!! I was incapable of seeing my worth along with my potential... that being said, I was not getting my needs met, I was not growing and I felt 100% unfulfilled in EVERY aspect of my life.  During my sobriety I began to learn the importance of worth, but also how to feel comfortable feeling worthy enough to acknowledge as well as step into my worth! It's something I work on daily and as is with most everything in life, the journey will be a continuous one as I hope it is for you!

Welcome to this week's episode! Today we are talking about not making exceptions for ourselves.  Back when I was suffering in my addiction I was extremely good at making exceptions for myself aka, setting a standard and or goal for myself and then making it 100% okay to not meet set standard and or goal. I realize now that I was always seeking the easy way out and by allowing myself off the hook not only was a not taking responsibility for myself or my actions, I was also short changing myself so to speak... selling myself short. If that's a pattern that you're noticing in your life, let's chat about how we can make a shift so that you can stop giving yourself the short end of the stick and start receiving what you truly deserve!

Hey everyone and welcome back for another episode of Success After Excess! Thank you all so much for showing up and spending some time with me! It's always appreciated! Today I wanted to talk about getting to know yourself.  I know for myself, when I was lost in my addiction, I had severed so many ties with myself, I hid myself, I hurt myself... I did not know how to be comfortable in my own skin and eventually had let my true self go. This meant that there was no chance in hell that I was going to find any semblance of worth, growth, happiness, fulfillment... nothing. I was pretending to be someone I was not and I was paying the price. Who are you? What do you like and dislike? What does your voice have to say? What are your needs? Your desires?  Do you know what you need to thrive and grow?

Hello everyone and welcome back to Success After Excess!  Can you believe that we are here in 2021?! I am so grateful that we made the best of the circumstances that 2020 brought us and honestly.... if any year was going to be the year to do it different... I think this is it! I've learned a lot over the past year and with that, I plan to crush this year with confidence!  I can tell you that growing up, and for most of my life to be honest, I wasn't living much in the realm of confidence. Soooo with that, I wanted to share one of my little secrets to boosting my confidence when something and or someone comes along to try and crash my party. Life is short guys and time is fleeting... as we have all recently experienced, things can change in an instant. So let's not let any more time pass us by... lets not let fear make a wasteland of our goals and dreams... Let's make the most out of what we've got! YOU GOT THIS!! WE'VE GOT THIS!!!

Hey everyone and welcome to the final episode of the year! It feels odd to say given the circumstances of this year but despite it all.... this year went much faster than I initially envisioned it going! Here we are closing another chapter and here's to hoping that 2021 will contain some massive change that we are all doubt all seeking! With that, this week I really wanted to stress the importance of taking some inventory and bringing in the who and what that will serve you best this year and sending the rest of to packing, along with the last of this year! You are amazing, incredible, smart, talented, strong, capable and loved! Whatever you set out there for yourself, I promise that you have the ability to get out there and get it! Let's jump into 2021 strong and show this year who you are! All the best to you in what's left of 2020 and I am wishing you all an amazing start to 2021! I can't wait to catch up with you then! Thank you all for tuning in, sharing your time with me, sharing this space with me and

Hello everyone and welcome back for this week's episode!  Today I wanted to talk about something that crippled me for YEARS!! It's such a simple thing however like most simple things when they accumulate, they then become big things.... In this episode we are talking about making decisions based on our current circumstances and what it means for us down the road. Obviously that are certain scenarios in life that require people to make hard and fast decisions based on their current circumstances for their own safety and well being so please know that we are not talking about extreme situations like that today. I hope that you are enjoying your holiday season and I hope that you are taking care of yourself our there!  Thank you for stopping by and tuning in and I look forward to catching up next week!
