Ep. 16 | Your Thoughts are Powerful

In this episode of the She Finds Joy podcast, Kim Strobel discusses tools we can use to retrain our brains with positive beliefs. Our beliefs drive everything in our lives: what we think we’re capable of, how much value we think we can command, and even how we show up for ourselves and others. Developing a growth mindset is key to overcoming negative beliefs. In today’s episode, Kim talks about…How your belief system drives your perceptions of the world and how you experience life. The way that self-doubt undermines our abilities—you totally have the skills to open that business you’ve always dreamed of! How you can quit sabotaging yourself with negative thoughts and peel back the golden nuggets within yourself. The way that affirmations can help you realize your full potential. Kim’s top tips for positive affirmations: Your words are powerful—choose your words carefully, especially the words you use when you talk to yourself. Don’t let other peoples’ opinions of you change your opinion about yourself. Select the people you spend your time and energy on carefully. You should never waste your time on people who don’t want to help you celebrate your wins and triumphs. Write your affirmations every day. They help to retrain your brain to believe that those big dreams of yours are really, truly, possible. About KimKim Strobel is Chief Happiness Officer at Kim Strobel Live Events and Retreats.

Ep. 12 | When You are a Yes, You are Also Intentionally a No

In this episode of the She Finds Joy podcast, Kim gets real about why we say yes to things we don’t want to do, why we need to stop doing that so much and what happens when we start saying yes to ourselves.

In this episode, Kim takes on…Reasons moms say yes when they would rather say noWhy reluctant yeses are a self-love issueHow increasing your happiness level can shift your life and how saying no can help do thatHow to decide when to say yes and when to say noTop Tips from Kim:Sometimes saying yes to things we don’t want to do is about the kind of person that we are. We all want to be helpful and do the right thing. Doing the right thing also includes taking care of ourselves and making sure we don’t get depleted. That’s our responsibility too. You need to evaluate the cost of your “yes” and know when you say “yes” to something, you’re saying “no” to something or someone else (and often as moms that’s ourselves and our own happiness.) You need to move yourself up your own priority list and start seeing your own value.

Ep. 11 |The Power of Changing Your Narrative and Forgiveness

In this episode, Kim and Colene are talking about…Ways that women downplay their own abilities and achievements (and why we need to stop!) How Colene carved a path as a successful HR professional as a black woman in corporate AmericaWhy it’s so important to practice forgiveness rather than let anger and bitterness consume us—and why sometimes forgiveness is not a one-time process “I think it's okay to feel hurt and pain and not want to forgive someone. I don't think that there has to be this blanket apology and forgiveness that you spread out across the world. But I do think you have to reign it in because if not, it's easy to let that snowball and all of a sudden you're walking around angry and mad and overwhelmed because you're holding on to all of this, all of this that's not meant for you to hold onto.” Colene ElridgeColene’s Best Advice for Forgiving Ourselves and OthersWe don’t need to forgive everyone all at once—it’s a process, and it’s perfectly okay to not be ready to forgive someone. However, try not to actively dislike more than three people at one time. Sometimes, certain things will trigger us and we will need to go through the forgiveness process again. When you choose to forgive someone again, you are growing and progressing as a person. We need to allow ourselves to feel the gross, unappealing feelings that go hand-in-hand forgiveness process.LinksMonday Morning Pep Talks by Colene Elridge About KimKim Strobel is Chief Happiness Officer at Kim Strobel Live Events and Retreats.
