Freedom Is You Podcast
Your place to find the power YOU have in what has been troubling you, so you can move forward in a way that feels really good! I have this saying, when you change the way you feel, it changes the way you look at it and when you change the way you look at it... you interact with it differently - that whatever has been troubling you, interacts with you differently.
Shadow work and Self healing meets motherhood, infertility & everything in between. Each moment we are feeling troubled by something/someone, is simply highlighting a dysfunctional emotional connection we have to whatever is happening. So lets create a healthy emotional connection in it's place!
Here is to raising humans who feel safe, understood, calm so they don't have to heal from their childhood and have thriving relationships and a life they don't feel they need to take a vacation from.
Here is to navigating fertility struggles from a place of feeling inner peace and if you don't, knowing how to find it again so you don't lose yourself in the journey.
Here is to having a healthy relationship with your partner where you feel understood, calm and safe so when there are disagreements they get resolved in a calm manner so you can feel more connected then ever.
Here is to making your mind a place you truly want to be.
Here is to helping you be able to interact with others OUTSIDE the dysfunction, including yourself.
I fell into a depression in my first TTC journey after having two early miscarriages that I had to take a mental health leave from work. I ended up with a fertility diagnosis and cried for a week straight. I dug myself out of my depression and found happiness in my journey again, three short months later I got the pregnancy that stuff. My story doesn't end there. I ended up with a happy healthy baby girl but here was the problem - hearing her cries felt overwhelming that I would curl up into a ball and start crying. The intrusive thoughts where I felt sure I was going to accidently harm her, I remember freaking out in my psychologists office "I'm going to manifest her death! I can't stop worrying about it!" To daily fights with my husband feeling like we weren't a priority, feeling unappreciated - one day I realized, I couldn't keep going on this way. The way I felt every day, it wasn't something I wanted for my daughter - I wanted her to have the foundation to thrive in life. I had all the material things that promised me happy but inside, I was far from happy. I was forever arguing with my husband, felt isolated from friends and more like a nuisance then anything, my thoughts were hard to be with, anxiety. So I dove head first into spirituality, started practicing mediumship and offering readings, started exploring the science behind spirituality, neuroscience, mindset, hypnosis, NLP, trauma and somatics. Now? I use my daughters troubling behavior to heal unresolved emotional wounds, no longer giving her troubling behavior oxygen to breathe that the behavior completely resolves. You better bet I've applied it within every other relationship I've had too - the best part? It works. Every single time.

EP 23: I woke up feeling anxious + overwhelmed, here is what I did to support myself | Improving emotional + mental wellbeing | Self + emotional regulation
I had made a post on my stories..
"I woke up feeling off, mostly anxious and overwhelmed. This used to consume my whole day and sometimes become days. I'd struggle with Haedyn, I'd feel so preoccupied with what was going on with me my patience was low, I'd get irritated and short with her all the time and have zero space to play. Things are different now. I did somatic breathing before I opened my eyes even though all I wanted to do was just lay in bed. I did some EFT tapping. I did some yoga and got into my body, even though that was the LAST thing I wanted to do. I did some meditation, even though I felt pressure to get going. Each step I could feel me slowly coming back. Now I feel back o ground zero and ready to take on the day."
It landed with several and I have so many people wondering.. but how did you start?
And it's easier then you think!
Save this and let it me a reminder of how to show up for yourself in the moments you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, worrying, intrusive thoughts, mom rage, guilty/ashamed, bitter, frustrated, irritable, afraid.
What we need to calm down in these moments is connection. The problem is, when we are feeling dysregulated in these moments, we are unable to connect. By making this a daily practice, it begins to build that connection.
I'll be hosting a workshop on this in the month of September. I'm still putting together the details - hop on over to IG @alyssa.wack and DM "WORKSHOP" and I'll send you the details!
