What's up everybody! We are talking this week about self-love. I have been on a journey with loving on myself intentionally and consistently for this month. It has been refreshing in so many ways.

See you again soon, Reese J.

It may not always be easy but leaning into your happy place will definitely help you navigate the stressful moments. I hope this episode encourages you and that you all have a very Merry Christmas!

Grief is a natural part of life that nobody likes to experience or talk about. I'm being the brave one for us today and unpacking my journey with grief. In this episode I am sharing with you some of the things I wish I knew about grief before it came knocking at my door. I am also sharing where I am currently on my journey. I hope this helps someone, especially during this holiday season. See you again soon! Reese J.

This is NOT a sad episode! But I do get sad sometimes. In this quick chat, I wanted to share with you how I navigate moments of sadness during the holidays. Having seasonal depression and random moments where it seems like joy is nowhere to be found is a real thing. The good news is that it's something you can work through and you don't have to do it alone. I hope this helps someone! See you again soon, Reese.

Welcome back roommates! This episode is the story-time I've been waiting to share for a long time. I finally get to talk about my pregnancy journey and how we navigated the many challenges that we experienced during and after the birth of our son.

In this final piece to the series "Enemies of your restart", we are going to expose the enemy called fear. We're going to talk about how fear keeps you from going after your goals and how you can work on overcoming it.

In today's episode we talk about enemy number two to our restart- procrastination. We think it's just as simple as slow motion but it's so much deeper than that. I hope you enjoy today's conversation. See you again soon! https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/procrastination

The answer to that question is- YOU DON'T! But most of us deal with insecurity in one way or another. Today we are opening up a three-part series on "enemies to the restart". In the next 3 episodes we are going to identify 3 three enemies that can hinder you on your journey to starting again. We don't need any extra weights keeping us from being our best, successful selves. In this episode we start with insecurity. We talk about what it is, how it may be working in your life, and how we can work to overcome this enemy.

Starting anything over again can be the scariest thing to do. It takes a lot of courage to even consider doing "it" again, especially if you feel like you've failed at it before. But what if failure wasn't really failure? What if it was just a sign to make an adjustment and keep going? That's what we're going to talk about today.

You are going to laugh (a lot) as well as take away a few gems that you can apply to your own marriage or future relationship. We talked about the importance of building a friendship first, laughing with each, and a whole lot more.

Welcome back to The Rehab Room! This episode is our first installment of #quickchats. Quick Chats are mini episodes where I turn on my mic and share a quick thought or encouraging word that I believe will help you as you are processing through this journey called life. Today I am sharing my thoughts on faith and feelings. Sometimes your feelings will make you think you don't have faith. But that's not true. You can be full of faith and still feel human emotions. It happened to me today! Listen to this quick chat and be encouraged to keep believing!

Today we're talking about giving yourself the grace to grow! It's a life hack that doesn't get talked about enough. It keeps you from always trying to be perfect and giving yourself the room to grow, one small step at time.

Today's episode is for my fellow moms out there! If you have ever experienced mommy burnout or mom exhaustion, you're probably guilty of trying to be a super-mom. We're gonna talk about what it looks like to move away from the super-mom mentality and moving into becoming a "me-mom". Learning to make "me" a priority is one of the best things I could have ever done for myself AND for my kids. It could be the game changer you're looking for in this momming journey!

Welcome to Season 2 in The Rehab Room! We are kicking off this season talking about change. What do you do when everything changes and there's nothing you can do about? Do you go with the flow or do you start kicking and screaming??? In this episode I am sharing how I am learning to navigate life when plans change and how you can face changes that may come your way. It's a good conversation so lean in! I'll see you again soon, in The Rehab Room! P.S.

Today we are wrapping up season one as we prepare for even greater things to come. What better way to end this season than to share with you guys things that I have learned this year.

What’s up Rehab Roommates!!!! Welcome to another chitchat with me. This episode is very different than my previous episodes. It’s exactly as the title says: It’s a dear diary segment! Today I turned on my mic and I shared what’s been going on with me personally and how I’m navigating this different season of my life. It’s very raw and transparent, and yes it’s a little emotional. But I felt so much better after I recorded this! Hopefully it will encourage you to take care of yourself in this season, because you are IMPORTANT! So enjoy this episode and I will see you again soon 😘💕

What's up rehab roommates! I am so glad that we are finally back with the last part of this self-reflection series. In this final installment, we are going to dive into the topic of self-perception. We are going to explore how we see ourselves as a whole. In this episode I share how I took a journey from seeing myself through broken lenses to seeing through wholeness. I am confident that this will resonate with many of you. So settle in and enjoy the conversation and I will see you again soon, in The Rehab Room!

What’s up Rehab Roommates!!!!! We are BACK like we neva left. This week’s episode is the second piece to our “Self-Series” and we are focusing on what we speak. The words you speak create the reality you see and live in. If you are not speaking the right things, it’s a good chance that you’re hindering your process. So we’re going to reflect on what we speak and at the end I’m going to give you one of my secret strategies to creating a positive dialogue with myself. I hope you enjoy this episode!

What’s up Rehab Roommates! Are y’all ready for a story? Well I have one to share with you that goes with our last discussion on how we think about ourselves. I wanna tell you all about a moment I had a few weeks ago that caused me so much emotional turmoil that it almost made me cancel my date night. I felt like this had to be shared as a way of me showing you all that we all battle moments like this but WE can overcome them ❤️

Have you ever stopped and wondered what you think about YOU? We often make it a habit of asking others what they think about us but what matters more is what WE think about ourselves. In today’s episode, we’re going to explore this topic as we enter into a new series called The Self-Series. Over the next few weeks, we’re going to navigate how we think, what we speak, and how we see ourselves. It’s a lot to unpack but it’s so important to talk about. Today we’re gonna take an inventory of how we think about us. We’re gonna expose that inner bully as well as learn how to neutralize negative thinking patterns that try to rob us of our progress. It’s time to dig a little deeper! So join me now for another conversation in The Rehab Room💕

The first step we took was admitting how we feel about our individual journeys aka our process. Then we decided it was time we embraced it. Now we have to take yet another vital step- it’s time to commit! You’ve been stagnant and laid back for long enough. It’s time to commit to the process and start seeing real results. It can be easier said than done and we’re gonna talk about what’s holding you back. Could it be fear? Past failures? Self-Doubt???? I’m not sure what’s holding you back, but I can tell you this- I’m not letting you stay comfortable with sleeping on yourself! So let’s go 💪🏾

In part two of our conversation about process, we’re going to talk about embracing the journey. You will never get from where you are to where you want to be if you don’t embrace the path you have to take. In this episode I kept it real about one of my MIDDLES and how I’m learning to accept the steps I need to take in order to be successful. I’m facing and embracing, and I’m encouraging you to do the same!

Can we all be honest and say we don’t really like process that much??? If we could skip over it, we all would. But we can’t. And sometimes that sucks! In today’s episode, I’m going to share my raw feelings as it relates to process. You’re going to hear my views about it and why I don’t care for it all that much. At the end of our conversation, I’m going to share some things you can implement in your own life as you navigate the middle of your personal process, whatever that may be!
