Ep. 73: Fashion Funds the Fight with The Cancer Cartel

Ep. 73: Fashion Funds the Fight with The Cancer Cartel

The Cancer Cartel knows that fighting cancer isn’t just emotionally and physically depleting, it is financially depleting as well. They believe that the person fighting cancer should be able to focus 100% on getting well, and not worrying about how much money cancer is going to cost them and their families. Because treatment is expensive, and so many of us are underinsured or just in a place where the financial strain of cancer simply makes the road to recovery that much harder. They understand, because we have all experienced this fight firsthand, which is why they are committed to doing all they can to alleviate this problem for as many people as they can. Their mission statement is “Fashion Funds the Fight.” They are a non-profit, fundraising platform that awards financial gifts to assist recipients in paying any costs of living that they are unable to pay during their fight. From gas money to groceries, mortgage payments to monthly bills – They are cleaning up the cost of cancer!

Wow what a week this has been!

We have all been feeling this moon cycle right? This week we unpack some things that have been bothering us recently. We talk today about how Women tend to be 'sorrier' than men. Do we apologise more? Are we too sensitive? What about the anxiety that comes with hurting someone? Lets sit down together and unpack the phrase that we feel is very over used.... "Im Sorry"

Ep. 34: Melina Charis- Anxious to Aligned

Ep. 34: Melina Charis- Anxious to Aligned

Who is that cute little laugh in the background? 

We are joined again by the wonderful Melina Charis. (See Episode 9 for her first episode with us!)

We decided that we wanted to bring Melina into our gratefulness segment this week, let us know what you think about having our guests share in this part of our episode!

Melina Charis:

Please visit www.melinacharis.com to see what she has been up to!

Melina has just launched a new program! She is now a mindset coach! 

But wait... what is a mindset coach? A coach as a general definition (by Brooke Castillo) A coach is someone who helps you witness your own mind so you can change it to help get what you want. 

Melina does 1:1 training and also group training! You talk about what's going on, what's blocking you from your goals.  A coach can help you realize that the only limit on yourself is YOU. A coach can help you figure out how to manage your mind so you can reach your long term and short term goals. 

Sit that inner critic aside! Melina Charis is here to save the day. 

We talk about the 100 people in a room theory- There are 100 people in a room with you. 99 of those people love you, care for you and want you to succeed, but one hates you. You as a human will focus on the one person who has negative thoughts, rather that the 99 people surrounding you who love you. 

Hey Melina... what is the best thing that you have done to control looping thoughts and stop your mind from spiring out of control?

-- Journaling! Write down every single thought you are having. Looping thoughts, dont censor your thoughts. NOBODY IS LOOKING AT THIS BUT YOU! Don't be spiritual, dont be kind on that piece of paper. Allow yourself to release those thoughts. Your mind can be stopped by the act of writing. Putting those thoughts out releases them from you. (WOW MIND BLOWN HERE PEOPLE)
