  • 3-22 Finding purpose through volunteer work and giving back
    Sep 17 2024

    Send us a text

    What if you could find a deeper sense of purpose simply by giving back? This week on Bella Grace, I recount my exhilarating experience running a relay race to support Build On, a nonprofit committed to providing crucial after-school programs and constructing schools in underserved communities globally. This episode uncovers how the acts of volunteering can break the repetitive cycle of daily life, infusing it with a renewed sense of fulfillment and belonging. By sharing personal stories and reflections, I aim to demonstrate that even the smallest acts of service can leave a lasting impact on both the giver and receiver.
    Tune in as we delve into the transformative power of empathy and gratitude fostered through volunteer work. My journey includes organizing a retreat for women affected by incarceration, where I learned the invaluable lessons of connection and perspective. From teaching practical skills like changing a tire to discovering a newfound passion for public speaking, volunteering has the power to nurture empathy and reveal hidden talents. This chapter encourages you to leverage your unique skills to bring about positive change in your community, enriching your own life in the process.
    Small acts of giving can create powerful ripple effects in our communities, and this episode underscores how even teaching someone to change their oil can inspire change. Aligning volunteer efforts with personal passions and values not only reinforces our identity but also promotes collective well-being over individual gain. I invite you to reflect on how you can contribute meaningfully to your community and challenge you to share your journey with us. Until next week, stay well, be kind, and find joy in your week.

The promise here is crystal clear: transform your life by mastering the art of SMART planning.

  • 3-19 Managing Daily Stress, Anger, and Anxieties
    Aug 13 2024

    us on the Bella Grace podcast this week as we unravel the complex connections between childhood experiences and adult emotional health. Through personal anecdotes and heartfelt discussions, we explore how suppressed emotions can act like a pressure cooker, building up until they finally explode in unhealthy ways. Learn why recognizing these emotional triggers is crucial for both preventing harm and promoting healthier emotional management.
    As a preschool teacher, I’ve had the opportunity to develop techniques that not only help children cope with their emotions but also aid in my own emotional regulation. We dive into effective strategies for teaching kids how to identify and express their feelings constructively, which can be as simple as using a boxing bag or throwing a soft toy. These methods highlight the importance of self-awareness, self-regulation, and understanding the physical signs of anger—like heat in the chest and tension—to prevent emotional outbursts.
    The mind-body connection plays a significant role in managing stress and anxiety, especially for those working from home. We discuss practical self-care techniques, such as journaling and breathing exercises, and the importance of taking short breaks to reset. Simple actions like stepping away from your computer for ten minutes can significantly reduce big emotions. Our episode emphasizes the value of kindness and self-care, reminding you to prioritize mental well-being and find joy in everyday moments.
