Hello and welcome to episode 322 of The Mindful Kind podcast.
In this episode, you'll hear some great questions from the students inside my Derail Imposter Syndrome Online Course.
The questions include:
- I just started a new job and I feel like a fraud. Everyone seems so much more qualified than I am and I’m worried I’m in way over my head. What should I do?
- I struggle with self-sabotage and whenever I feel like I’m close to success, I usually find a way to destroy it. Is there anything I can do to stop sabotaging myself?
- I feel like I’m trying to pretend I’m perfect, especially at work, and it’s exhausting. Why can’t I just let myself make mistakes sometimes?

Hello and welcome to episode 307 of The Mindful Kind podcast.
In this episode, you'll learn about emotional dumping and strategies to help you stop yourself from doing it too much!
I learned about the concept of emotional dumping in Dr Nicole LePera's book, How to Do The Work.
Here are the strategies I shared in the episode:
1: Ask for someone's permission before you start talking about any intense emotional experiences
2: Find a variety of ways to cope with your emotions, such as meditating, journaling, and exercising
3: Talk to different people about your emotions, rather than relying on just one person and do your best to find solutions, instead of just talking about intense emotional experiences
If you feel like other people are regularly "emotionally dumping" on you, try implementing more boundaries. You can learn about this in episodes 254, 255, and 258 of The Mindful Kind podcast.
Thank you so much for listening and I hope you have a wonderful week, Mindful Kind.

Here are some simple and self-compassionate ways to deal with unmet needs:
- use self-soothing touch
- engage in kind self-talk
- make a positive plan to get your needs met in the future
- talk about your needs with someone you trust

Hello and welcome to episode 305 of The Mindful Kind podcast about dealing with resentment.
In this episode, you'll learn more about what resentment is and some strategies that I've found helpful when I'm dealing with it, including:
- Practice observing resentment and understanding what it feels like and why it occurs
- Explore if the resentment might be telling you something important. For example, is it a sign that you might need to seek extra support, communicate more effectively, or stand up for yourself?
- Give yourself time to heal from resentment, but also look for opportunities to be honest about it (especially if resentment is appearing in your close relationships)
