We are exploring balance – how it impacts every aspect of our lives and finding a version that suits you. We dive in with work-life balance expert Allison Mandell, who shares her journey from an unfulfilled executive producer to discovering true harmony between personal satisfaction and professional success.

Allison opens up about her past struggles and reflects on the pivotal moment she chose authenticity over external validation—a decision that led her down a path of profound change. discuss practical steps towards balance like starting your day phone-free to cultivate presence before facing daily demands. It's not just about time management but aligning actions with internal values for joy-filled days that feel genuinely yours.

Sometimes our problems stem from taking things too personally. Today's episode is about learning not to see everything as an attack or personal affront. We'll explore how to shift away from negative self-talk often rooted in trauma and lacking emotional support. For those who are quick to feel hurt or responsible for others' actions, this one is for you. This tendency can lead to anxiety and stress which leads to low self-esteem. It's crucial that we understand the difference between what belongs to us emotionally and what doesn't.

We’re breaking it all down!

In this episode of the Get Your Life Together, Girl podcast we delve into the revolutionary benefits of slowing down for our mental and physical health.

This conversation was sparked by my own step back from constant busyness. The insights I share here are the ways I did less to gain more!

Most of our suffering and upset come from how tightly we hold onto our perspectives as truths and the emotional, mental, and physical behaviors we cling to that never serve us, such as perfectionism, procrastination, negative self-talk, and avoidance. When we live from a space that prevents us from experiencing our life to the fullest, where we are closed to everything and open to nothing, we keep ourselves in a cycle that pushes against growth and ourselves.

There’s a term for this behavior, and it’s self-sabotage.

Today, you and I are taking a one-on-one deep dive into self-sabotage, what it is, and how it impacts us. Then we will move into a space where we learn to be observers of ourselves and our behaviors so that we may grow, find self-love, rest in inner peace, and fully thrive as the souls we are in our human experience.

We often forget that our lives are lived in moments, in the now. We allow yesterday to own us—find its ways into our thoughts, emotions, and actions. We bring forth broken pieces while we refuse to hold on to the good. When we are in the good, we easily concentrate on where we want to be—the goals, intentions, and the pieces that drive us forward while failing to remember that we need today to prosper.

The reality is each day is a teacher. Each moment has something for you inside of it. When we are unaware, focused on everything but the moment, we are likely to miss the magic in which is the key for our abundance, ability to thrive, the very opening of our purpose, courage, and highest, truest, most authentic, greatest self.

To fully claim your life, you must be IN your life. And your life is now.

Janice Q. submitted today’s Mindset Reset. She wrote: “I love these (Mindset Resets.) I’ve learned so much about my thought process. I was wondering if there were any questions I could ask myself to help check in and reset instead of just being a specific thing. Is there something more broad that could help me find that center?”
