Hi Friends! It has been some time and I share with you in this NEW episode why I stepped away for a bit. This episode was inspired by my own personal experience the last few months managing a scary health scare with my mother who many of you know I love so much. If you have not checked out my interview with my mom, do check that episode out, she is a cutie! :)  These last few months and weeks I have had to manage my own anxiety and feelings around the uncertainty of my mother's health. These 5 tips that I share with you are from a personal experience. Please do seek additional support from a mental health professional if you are struggling. You can see the links below to find someone near you. Thank you for being here and please be sure to subscribe to the podcast and share this episode with a loved one and let them know why it was helpful. We could all use a little more comfort, support and encouragement with each other along our healing journey. Sending all my love into your heart from mine.

Episode 100 Quotes    “You are strong because of what you’ve been through and whatever happened was not necessarily what you deserved, it wasn’t your fault, life is just unfair and unkind to all of us in different ways and in similar ways but that you are here. And that’s what matters.”   "There are strength in your scars. That is proof that you’re alive. You’re here today still fighting and you still have hope for a new day or a better day.”   “And so may you continue on your journey in your healing, in your growth, may you celebrate your small wins no matter what they are - it could be that you stuck to your self-care routine or you went for that walk or you took a shower or called a friend and asked for help. Don’t underestimate it. Celebrate your small wins.”     To connect with me and see what services I offer please visit www.eiditc.com  or find me on Instagram @healwitheidit for inspiration & mental wellness tips.

Episode 99 Quotes “I don’t know you but I know you are here today standing strong and trying to just take the next step forward in your healing journey and you might be going through a hard time today and you’re still not giving up. You’re still going to figure it out one day at a time.”   “I accept the best and the worst aspects of who I am. Changing is never simple but it’s easier if I stop being hard on myself. My mistakes just show that I’m growing and learning. It’s okay to make mistakes, I forgive myself. I am a human and I’m figuring it out one day at a time. I am allowed to feel these feelings and then figure things out later. I am free to let go of the judgement of others.”   “Give yourself permission to be imperfect.”   To connect with me and see what services I offer please visit www.eiditc.com  or find me on Instagram @healwitheidit for inspiration & mental wellness tips.

Episode 98 Quotes   “This feeling, this moment, this situation is just another moment. Big, small, medium, whatever size it is in your life, it’s going to pass. Nothing is permanent. There’s a lot of feelings that can come with that but in that moment of anxiety just that reminder that this too shall pass, this moment will not be forever, that it’s going to be eventually okay.”   “I can’t control this. I can’t control what’s going to happen. I can only control myself. And that reminder in that moment of anxiety is helpful for the brain to calm down.”   “Once you breathe and tell yourself that you can control something, your brain kind of relaxes. Cause it’s like okay let me think clearly...I do have some say in this situation and what is that?”   To connect with me and see what services I offer please visit www.eiditc.com  or find me on Instagram @healwitheidit for inspiration & mental wellness tips.

Episode 95 Quotes “If you strive to put yourself at the top, you will become a better spouse, you will become a better friend, you will become a better parent, you will become a better child, you will become a better YOU. Because when we pour into our own cup and not wait for somebody else to do it, we're that much more successful in anything and everything that we do.”   “It’s okay to change how much you give to people and how much you give to yourself.”   “And when we take the time to self-review, we can spend our time more wisely, more intentionally. It just takes a little bit of effort and then it goes a long way because you look back at your year and you say, ‘oh yes. I spent more time on the things that matter to me than not.'’’   "It’s a sacred space: your workspace, your home space. It’s sacred. It’s part of you. It’s an extension of you. And so take good care of it this year!”   “Put yourself at the top of the list! Whatever this list is that you are writing (your goals, your intentions, your to-dos) it’s you at the top.”   To connect with me and see what services I offer please visit www.eiditc.comor find me on Instagram @healwitheidit for inspiration & mental wellness tips.

Episode 94 Quotes   “And a reminder that self-reflection and journaling and thinking in this way and reflecting on how you want to live your life ultimately, it’s a great way to launch your year with intention. And you’ll process the past year and gain clarity to set yourself up for success for the year to come.”   “I’m not one to be like ‘New Year’s Resolutions! New Year, New Me!’ You can do that at any time. You don’t need the new year to do that."    “Accept that win. Accept and honor yourself for that moment because for that moment, it mattered, it did something. If you try to compare it to another moment where you didn’t do well or you didn’t succeed or you didn’t meet that goal, that’s perfectionism showing up.”   To connect with me and see what services I offer please visit www.eiditc.comor find me on Instagram @healwitheidit for inspiration & mental wellness tips.

Episode 93 Quotes   “Bring that compassion for yourself, know that you can do this, take a deep breath, and share where your limit is this year.” “Be very clear with knowing your limits so then you can communicate them to your loved ones in a way that feels comfortable enough for you so that they can understand where you’re coming from.”   “You have to do the right thing for yourself because you’re operating off of what your limits are.”   “When you speak up and share your thoughts, you are honoring yourself.”   “You have the permission to give yourself the release from anything and just say ‘no.’ It’s a complete sentence.”   To connect with me and see what services I offer please visit www.eiditc.comor find me on Instagram @healwitheidit for inspiration & mental wellness tips.

Episode 92 Quotes   “You’re not fixing memories, you’re not trying to fix what’s happened but you’re trying to heal through it and give yourself grace, compassion, love, forgiveness, patience, acceptance, and releasing this obsession with trying to ‘fix something.’”   “Your journey is your journey and that doesn’t have to match anybody else’s. It’s yours and yours alone and there’s no ‘doing it better’ than someone else.”   “While trauma may have existed in your past, your scars don’t define who you are.” “You give yourself permission to start your healing journey and then start accepting the help and the community that’s there to love you through it, to support you through it, lean on them, not only ask for help but let that help in.”   To connect with me and see what services I offer please visit www.eiditc.comor find me on Instagram @healwitheidit for inspiration & mental wellness tips.

Episode 91 Quotes “Your true joy, your true inner peace comes from you really leaning into saying ‘I don’t care enough to let this stop me from making a decision I know is good for me. No matter if this person thinks this or that about me.’”   “I do care but I don’t care enough that it gets in the way of me living in my alignment and me living in my truth.”   “While you can’t control how everyone perceives you, you can lessen your worry and anxiety over it.”   "And people may critique your beliefs or actions but if you’re really grounded in your values, the criticism to them is less likely to affect you.”   “Try not to read people's minds because you’re probably wrong.”   To connect with me and see what services I offer please visit www.eiditc.comor find me on Instagram @healwitheidit for inspiration & mental wellness tips.

If you’re ready to really reach your goals, it’s important to be honest with yourself. The first step is to really evaluate the way you’re spending your time.   When you’re working, are you showing up fully or are you distracted by the thing and people around you? Taking breaks and having a distraction can be a good thing. But this is only if you pair it with being mindful of your time and how you spend it.   Finding the balance can be a little difficult, but don’t worry. In this week’s episode I breakdown how to balance both.   To connect with me and see what services I offer please visit www.eiditc.comor find me on Instagram @healwitheidit for inspiration & mental wellness tips.

In this podcast episode, I talk about the 8 ways hyper independence may show up and what you can do about it. ******************************************************************************** To connect with me and see what services I offer please visit www.eiditc.comor find me on Instagram @healwitheidit for inspiration & mental wellness tips.

During her pre-teen years, her father moved to San Jose, CA so that he could provide better opportunities for the family. When she was a teenager, she discovered her passion for writing. She wrote poetry as often as she could, as it was a way of expressing myself. Not until later, in adulthood, did she find that writing could be a form of self-healing, as she began to journal her day-to-day struggles with infertility. Through her faith, she came to understand that there was a reason why she had been chosen to experience the obstacles and tribulations involved in achieving the family she had desired for so long. After many years, the experience opened her heart to adoption. Poulyana currently resides in California along with her husband and precious son. By day, she is a HR business partner for a healthcare organization. In 2019, she returned back to school to seek higher education to become a Psychotherapist to support couples during their infertility journey. Her heart and soul are tied to yoga, reading, writing poetry and she is an avid adoption advocate.   To connect with me and see what services I offer please visit www.eiditc.com or find me on Instagram @eiditchoochage for inspiration & mental wellness tips.

In episode 13, I interview spiritual writer and blogger, Alissa Jablonske.  Alissa is a proud highly sensitive person and an advocate for radical self-acceptance. She operates a blog called Life by Alissa, which was created with the intent to inspire others to find more beauty, meaning, and ease in their everyday lives. She writes in the tone of your best friend and loves diving into topics like spirituality, self-love, and mental health.  In addition to her blog, you can also find her writing in publications such as Thought Catalog, Thrive Global, and Sivana East. You can find her on instagram @lifebyalissa and website lifebyalissa.com.  She shares tips on how she worked through the physical pains she struggled with from stress at work and her journey from people pleasing to setting boundaries. She speaks so openly and vulnerably about her journey that I trust it will inspire you too on your own healing journey.  To connect with me and seek out individual therapeutic breakthrough coaching sessions, visit www.eiditc.com or find me on Instagram @eiditchoochage for daily inspiration & mental wellness tips.

In episode 11, I define meditation, the benefits of it, how to meditate and then I guide you into a meditation you can do at home today!  The mantra we repeat is: "I release this day." This will help center you each time you feel distracted by thought, physical sensation, or noise. By repeating the mantra silently to yourself you give a gentle reminder to your mind to return your focus back to the present moment and back to your breath.  I teach you the correct way to breathe to ensure you are receiving the maximum oxygen into your body. Now sit back, relax and get cozy with me as we meditate together.  Disclaimer: I am a licensed therapist, but this show or myself does not replace seeking professional mental health services, including but not limited to therapy.
