On episode 184 of The Well Podcast, Kari sits down to chat with mom, pastor’s wife, and mental health therapist, Gianna Reese. Gianna specializes in work with teenagers and adults but provides services across the lifespan. Here is a teaser of the conversation.
Our world today is not without life’s stressors. While we may not be foraging to find our food or worried about a bear attack out in the wilderness, we still have scenarios that put us into fight, flight, or flee responses. Many people assume we are born with the skills needed to deal with life’s stressors, but we are not born with healthy emotional expression, boundary setting, or emotional intelligence tools.

Forgot what you used to be like?
Forgot what you used to do all day before you were changing diapers, shuttling kids, making snacks, and overseeing homework?

Start over next month.
Start over Monday.
Start over in the morning.
I want you to know that you’re never truly starting over. You’re continuing tomorrow.
Whether it’s a weight loss goal, parenting a child with a difficult struggle, or pursuing your business dreams.
We get to change our mindset.
Starting over would mean we didn’t learn from what we did the first time.
We’re not starting over, we’re keeping going. But we’re continuing with the knowledge from where we’ve been.

How to be a mom in 2023…
“Make sure your children's academic, emotional, psychological, mental, spiritual, physical, nutritional, and social needs are met while being careful not to overstimulate, underestimate, improperly medicate, helicopter, or neglect them in a screen-free, processed food-free, plastic-free, body positive, socially conscious, egalitaritan but also authoritative, nurturing but fostering of independence, gently but not overly permissive, pesticide-free, two-story, multilingual home, preferably in a cul-de-sad with a backyard. Also, don't forget the coconut oil.”
Motherhood is heavy. Even if you’re not normally a “worrier”, motherhood can keep you up at night because there’s just so much weighing on our shoulders.
Maybe we should make our own list for how to be a mom in 2023.
Are toxic relationships wreaking havoc on your hormones and causing anxiety?
Whether it’s summer travel and being around a lot of different people compared to your normal routine, or you have that one relationship in your life that has always been a difficult one and you can’t completely separate yourself from that relationship, I hope to share some helpful insight to work through these toxic relationships. (Notice I said, toxic relationships, not toxic people).
Nothing puts me into a stressful state like managing conflict and tension in relationships. Side note.. this summer, I’m working from home with all our kids home…. did you know that mothers who spend all day with their children produce MORE cortisol (the stress hormone) than 98% of the world's paying professions? Whew.

When you come to THE WELL I pray you find a clean, cold "glass of water" on a hot day.
You get this through hearing good news of God’s love, self care, natural wellness tips and nurturing the good things in your life to design a life you love!
Sometimes, though, there are things that need to be cut out. Toxic thoughts, products and habits that are taking over and are affecting your health.
Forgiveness is key to your self care plan
A lack of forgiveness in your mind and heart will sabotage all of the self care you are trying to practice. You can workout, skip the toxic products, eat well, all the things but if you have toxic thoughts and feelings from a lack of forgiveness in your heart you will be unwell.
