You are going to cherish these words of wisdom, self-love and profound insight from author/psychotherapist/interfaith minister, Nancy Colier, as we discuss her enlightening new book, The Emotionally Exhausted Woman. She discusses what society tells us is the "perfect" and, of course, "imperfect" woman, and she describes the "likability cage" that traps so many of us. Among other topics she beautifully outlines how the caregivers we had as children impacted how we feel about our own needs as adults. And finally (and perhaps most importantly) she gives us tools that go far beyond typical "self-care" solutions to help us heal ourselves ... for example, we need to stop the "shoulds" and live more in "want", own our truths, and accept and love the "whole catastrophe of ourselves" to name a few concepts! Enjoy this gift - you will be better for it!

Join Nancy Colier, author of the newly released book, Canât Stop Thinking, as she teaches us that rather than fighting with our thoughts, to step back from them and become a calm and nonjudgemental witness. She explains how the nearly universal tendency to overthink things, particularly negative or emotionally charged situations, rarely serves us any benefit and instead makes things worse. Turn the lens on your own mind and listen as she guides you down a path of better awareness and understanding. She also sheds light on the state of our mental health 14 months into this pandemic. She believes that we are each coming out of this chapter of our lives different than who we were going into it. We discuss how this change will likely affect what you want in life as we all turn the page and move forward.
Nancy Colier is a psychotherapist, interfaith minister, and author of many books including Canât Stop Thinking, The Power of Off, and Inviting a Monkey to Tea. She is a thought leader on mindfulness, well-being, and digital life. Sheâs featured on Good Morning America, RT America, in The New York Times, and other media, and a regular blogger for Psychology Today and Huffington Post.
