- "You don't know what you're talking about."
- "You're imagining things."
- "No need to be so sensitive. I was only joking."
If someone in your life often says things like this to you, you may be experiencing gaslighting.

How to Stop Caring: How to Not Care & Put Yourself First
Wishing we didn’t care as much?
It is hard to stop caring whether you are in a break-up, have a toxic relationship, or simply someone has disappeared from your life. When you love someone with an addiction is tough, and I remember thinking to myself, “I wish I didn’t care.” I asked myself, “why do I care so much?” I even google searched How not to care! Crazy right? The fact that I did this is so sad to me. I knew I needed to do a podcast on this topic because I bet I am not alone.

BURNOUT: The Secret to Solving the Stress Cycle
Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress. It occurs when you feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, and unable to meet constant demands. HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED BURNOUT?
Burnout may be accompanied by a variety of mental and physical health symptoms as well. If left unaddressed, burnout can make it difficult for individuals to function well in their daily lives. Burnout can leave people feeling exhausted, empty, and unable to cope with the demands of life.
Burnout: The Secret to Solving the Stress Cycle by Emily Nagoski and Amelia Nagoski is a groundbreaking book that explains why people experience burnout—and provides a simple, science-based plan to help minimize stress, manage emotions, and live a more joyful life
What’s expected of us and what it’s like in today’s world are two very different things—and we tend to exhaust ourselves trying to close the gap between them.
Sisters Emily Nagoski, Ph.D., and Amelia Nagoski, are here to help end the cycle of feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. Instead of asking us to ignore the very real obstacles and societal pressures that stand between us and our well-being, they explain with compassion and optimism what we’re up against—and show us how to fight back.
Burnout addresses the questions of: How can you “love your body” when every magazine cover has ten diet tips for becoming “your best self”? How do you “lean in” at work when you’re already operating at 110 percent and aren’t recognized for it? How can you live happily and healthily in a sexist world that constantly tells you you’re too fat, needy, noisy, and selfish?
Let’s delve in to discover scientifically proven methods for dealing with stress and society's unrealistic expectations.

Claudia Aronowitz- Our special guest and Andrea talk about the power of connection-Your Way Forward
Life takes you on different and unexpected journeys. I am no exception.
Before becoming a coach and mediator she started her professional path with a BA in nutrition and a Master of Public Health degree, specializing in behavioural change. She worked as senior director for twenty years in the not-for-profit and healthcare sectors.
At the age of 41, she was diagnosed with cancer. This changed everything. She reevaluated her professional journey and shifted her focus from building and supporting communities to helping individuals.
She retrained as a coach and mediator, adding studies in positive psychology and organizational relationship systems coaching. She became certified with the International Coaching Federation and the Coaching Training Institute—the highest certifications available today for coaches. It is through her ongoing learning and training, and her unique personal strengths that she serves each of her clients in the best ways possible.
She can be reached at
We are so thankful for her wonderful support
