Julie is a former actress , filmmaker and the creator and host of the Selective Hearing podcast . Julie has shared her stories through her professional work while finding solace in creative expression . Selective Hearing and her debut book , sink Full of Dishes , is an extension of all her creative endeavors , where she aims to inspire you with experiences .
,J , ulie , how are you ?
I'm doing good . How are you ?
I am doing great and I'm so happy that you're here . I've been really looking forward to our conversation . I've been listening to your podcast and just absorbing all of your amazing energy .
So let's begin by , if you tell us about yourself and in your words and also touch upon a little bit about how you've got to where you are today with your podcast and also what inspired you to write your book . I know it's a lot , but we'll we'll break it down . I know you're very you're . You're great at storytelling , so the floor is yours .
Okay , let me get comfortable in my chair because it is a lot , so we'll go back . I'll start with the podcast , how I develop selective hearing , because then that is kind of like the stairway to the book .
So selective hearing started during the pandemic and my second pregnancy as a social media trauma dump that was packaged as a live podcast recording and I did all the things with it the promo rollout hey , everybody , I'm going to be going live , I'm doing this . I took my own pictures . It was a whole thing .
And then when I actually got on the couch and started talking to people , it was none of the things that I had imagined it to be . It ended up becoming a trauma dump , a therapy session , a hey , everybody listen to me , complain about politics , my life , all the things that were happening in pop culture , all that stuff , right . So I'm doing that .
And as I'm doing that , I had somebody say to me privately like , okay , girl , listen , what's going on ? Clearly you're ready to talk about some stuff . Can you get some help ? And during that too , I was telling myself like I'm not okay , I'm not okay .
I said I wasn't okay the first time during my first pregnancy had my son went back to work , covered it all up , lost my job during a pandemic , got pregnant again , came back around to my couch talking crazy to people , and it was like okay , girl , yeah , you might be right , I need some help . I'm not okay .
So I started talking to people , I pulled away from doing Facebook Live , I structured everything and I came back with , first selective hearing , the blog , which , if you go back and read it , it's a trauma though .
So I just stopped talking to people about it , started writing about it , and I noticed , though , as I was going through the motions , I was getting better , not just like better with the way that I was communicating my feelings and handling things , but like I was overall getting better with the address of all the stuff that was like conjured up in me .
So I was like okay , I'm going to come back around with the podcast . And that was another question that people were like okay , well , I kind of see some difference , some change in you . What are you doing ? And I'm like well , I got help . I got a coach , I got a therapist , I got help , I got a journal , I got all these things going on .
So I was like okay , I got an idea . How about I do this thing where I have this podcast , but I bring on people who can help the listeners , so people who are just like me . Because , like , when you're like , okay , I need help , right , I need a lot of help . But where do I go for that help ?
Like , you go on Google and you type help me and you get like 90 billion pages of stuff that doesn't make any sense . You start diagnosing yourself oh , this symptom is me . I got this Like , by the time , like you need to be on a psych ward . So I'm like , okay , let's do this a psych ward . So I'm like , okay , let's do this , let's scale it back .
And instead of you guys going on Dr Google , I have a resource page . So after every single episode , you can , if you like the person you can like , reach out to them and say , hey , I got this going on . Can you help me ? And it's from a wide range of areas too .
It's not just my trauma that we're talking about when I bring these guests on , because I also learned as I was going through the process that if your life is messed up in one area , it's inevitable it's going to spill over to everything you have going on . So I could not figure out why my marriage was trash for a while . It's because I had this going on .
I couldn't figure out why I was struggling with being a new mom because I had all this other stuff tucked away . Why am I struggling with keeping this business alive ? Why am I stopping and starting things ? Getting mad with people can't keep friends , you name it . I'm doing it all right .
So these people who come on Selective Hearing and have these conversations with me are also people who are like hey , you having issues with your job , let me help you . You having issues with setting boundaries and making sure that you keep the promises that you made to yourself , let me help you .
Or , hey , you got some deep rooted trauma that you need to resolve and you got to get these things out of your body so you can really heal on a deeper level . Then , girl , let me go get my nails done and my hair done and all that stuff . I'm here to help you . So that's what selective hearing is in a nutshell .
And then from there because what I learned going through my stuff is the reason why I have such a hard time with everything is because of the things that I'm telling myself , all the stuff I'm telling myself that I can't do , all the stuff that I'm telling myself I'm not good at all , the stuff I'm telling myself I don't deserve , I'm not worthy of .
That was an issue that was like I was carrying this chick called Monica .
Let's talk about Monica .
Yeah , I want to tell you guys all about her . So my inner critical voice , or my negative narrator , noisy roommate , the gremlin in me , my negative narrator , noisy roommate , the gremlin in me , her name is Monica , and Monica tells me horrible things every single day . She tells me about what I can't do . She asked me why I'm trying things .
She asked me what's your problem ? So I had to understand that this was a big thing that was stopping me in my tracks and holding me back . And the reason why is because Monica speaks to me the same way that my parents spoke to me , that my family members spoke to me .
She tells me the exact same things that were told to me as a kid , except now Monica's voice doesn't sound like my mom and my dad and those , those family members . It sounds like me , like she . She a little bit more raspy and she's she's got a tinge of hood to her . But Monica is me and she's like she comes for me all the time .
So I decided to write a book about her . So I pulled monica out of me . I gave her her own name , her own family , her own nice house , her own everything friends , you think about it and all those negative things that she's capable of saying to herself .
I made her say them out loud , and I made her say them to herself and I put it on paper and I wrote this whole book to show people how deep that inner voice can be and the impact that it can have on our lives .
¶ Navigating Inner Critic and Self-Worth
First of all , you've been placed on this path to help others . Your background is creative expression , right , you're using that . You're using Monica , you're using your book , you're using your podcast to heal yourself and also to heal others , right ? Yes , so .
So so Monica came from a child like all those those inner voices or those those outer voices that you heard , that you just kind of integrated in your body and that she just kind of stuck in there , all all those lives and and and .
Now you're helping others with helping them tame that inner critic , right , yeah , your , through your expressive , actually your , your show , your , your , your your book and your show , oh , so , how often is is monica present ? Now , now that you've done , doing a lot of the work on yourself , what kind of relationship are you now having with Monica ?
Are you like now pushing back ? I'm pushing back .
We argue , we argue and we used to argue out loud . I spoke about this in a couple of interviews and on my show . But in the beginning I felt like the only way to shut her down was to be just as loud as her . So I used to say things like lies , like when she would show up I would out loud say lies .
I'd be like uh-uh girl , not today , not today , no . And like people would , because I'll do it in public , would look at me like who is she talking to ?
and I'll be like imaginary friend , who's not a friend all the time ?
Right . I'm like , oh , my bad , it's okay , you know I'm good . And like people walking past me in the store look the side eye , like what ? And I'm just like if they only knew , you know , like if you only knew what people are going through . But that was my way of telling her , but that was my way of telling her chill out , I got this .
Now when she shows up and she does I'm seeing her show up when I'm working the most now . But now when she shows up , I'm just like mm-mm , girl , quietly , I can stop , I can breathe , I can take a moment wherever I'm at , and I'm like mm-mm , what's up ? What's the problem ? I got this , I know this , I'm handling this , I'm doing it .
And I just move on from there and I give her the space to kind of show me why she's setting off all these alarms , what she's afraid of , what she doesn't believe that I can achieve . And it's not really because , oh , I'm not good enough , I don't deserve this or I'm not capable of it .
It's because she's afraid of something and I try to figure out what happened there . What does this directly relate to ? From my past that has her kind of being trippy today , and then I just move through those spaces I give her and myself the grace to do so and I just keep pushing .
Sometimes that pushes a lot harder because I'm the revelations that are being made Like I don't want to make any light of this , because some of us have some deeper things going on than others and all of our trauma , regardless of how big or how small , is very relevant and we didn't deserve it .
But I got beat down a lot in a lot of different areas of my life . We're talking . I experienced sexual abuse , I experienced verbal abuse , I experienced physical abuse . My life was very hard for a long time . So when she hops out , sometimes the things that she's coming at me with are very deep and very hard and I'm going to move through it .
But there's some challenges to be met there some days and I won't act like there's not .
Yeah , she's there to help you identify what you need to work on and to overcome or over or work with those things like fear . Like fear is so A part of a lot of people's lives , and I think women like I know I've experienced that too and I've had that really bad inner voice as well .
And I know you said that it's show Monica shows up a lot for you before you even get on your podcast . I'd say , and I get that before . We want to do something like a really excited and proud . And then you , you know how does she show up ?
Like what is what is like like her dialogue , like before you show up for your podcast she sounds like you , you know you're not good enough or what are you doing , like kind of that voice , because I've heard similar .
Yeah , yeah , yeah well , this morning she showed up about my hair and I told you about it like yeah , she was like girl , you look a mess , what are you doing ? And I was like , well , let me just find out if it's audio or video , because then I can figure out how much of a mess I need to tame . And what did I say ?
to you I said to you I said you're going to look beautiful , no matter what right you did . Yeah , you know , it's really not the way we look , it's how we feel , and if we feel good , it doesn't matter if our hair is crazy , although I know we want to look good too .
That's part of it .
But yeah , you know that fear is brutal and I'm listening to you talk and you know I kind of wonder , and even for myself , the fear that we have , is it the fear that we're going to succeed ? It's like is something trying to prevent us from like crossing that threshold to success and are we afraid of getting ?
there . Are we worthy ? Is the theme of worthiness come up a lot ? Yeah , I .
And when you grow up and have people that make you feel like you don't deserve anything and you're not worthy of love , you're not worthy of opportunity , you don't deserve these things , like Then when you start stepping into that light and these things start coming , like the question of do I deserve this , am I supposed to have this ?
It's like constant and I know like even looking back , it's kind of like I have these hover moments , like the ghost of Christmas past , if you will , where I'm like looking back at things and I'm like there were so many times when I was younger where light was shiny . I didn't see it then , but like now , looking back at it , like light was shiny .
And the adults in my life I know that they were capable of seeing it because they were shutting me down , yeah , and it was never that I wasn't worthy or I didn't deserve it . It was always that they were afraid of it . And their fear became my own and I remind myself of that a lot because a lot of them are still not living life .
A lot of them have even left this world and never lived life before they did it , so I can't let that become me . I can't let that become . That will not be my outcome , and I tell myself that a lot , too , when Monica shows up , like you might be afraid of this , but it's okay , because that is scary
¶ Setting Boundaries and Self-Care Practices
, that is sad .
Leaving this world and never reaching your potential is pure devastation and I refuse to be that . I refuse speak for everyone , but I see a sense of there's a lot of people feel like they're victims . There's . You know why me , why is this happening ?
Why is this happening , you know , and instead of looking at the positive of life , I always try to look at the glass full , you know , like that half full but all full , and I think it sets the tone for your life . And I may not have everything I want , but I have everything I need . You know , it's really good to be positive .
How has this spilled over to your other relationships ? The , the , the , the , the , monica voice , the , the feeling of not feeling worthy or afraid .
Well , my husband and I have had a rocky road because of Monica and because of you know my insecurities and things like that . She'll show up and tell me he's doing something . He's not Like . I actually did a live and I was like , have you ever had an argument with your husband ? And he wasn't even home yet ?
Like straight cussing him , decent , and he's not even there . And then he walks through the door and you got the stale face and you don't want to talk to him and he's like what is going on ? What I do ? He's not even aware of it . He doesn't know at all what is going on with you , what you just how ? What did he do ? He doesn't know .
And I didn't tell him because I'm exhausted by this point , because me and Monica already cussed him out all day .
So true , yep , yes .
I had to learn that , and a big thing of that is writing , because , as great as I am with talking , I didn't always know how to say the right things when it came to the things that made me most uncomfortable . So I had to write it down and that helped me with learning to communicate with him in a healthy way .
I can't be mad at you for something that you didn't know you did . Yeah , you may have left the sink full of dishes , or you may keep walking around here dropping your towel on the floor after you get out the shower and leaving this and leaving there , and I'm walking behind you picking everything up like the maid .
But if I don't tell you that's getting on my nerves , or if I don't make you aware of the things that I need , how can I be upset with you for not doing certain things ? You ? know , that was something big that I had to . Well , okay , julie , your husband leaves the towel on the floor . Did you tell him ? Did you ask him to stop ?
Or you need more hugs or you need help with certain things ? Did you tell him that you need help with certain things ? Did you explain to him the challenges that you're facing and why you need more support ? Well , no , I didn't . So how's he supposed to help you Right Now ?
If you explain these things to him and he doesn't do anything , then you got a problem . But did you give these things to him and he doesn't do anything ?
then you got a problem . But did you give him a chance first ? Yeah , I think we think that they are supposed to know telepathically , and then we get angry when they don't understand what it's like for us . It's so true . What do you do to replace those negative thoughts , Like like , is there like a mantra that you have ?
Or you just like kind of pause and you're like , okay , this is not true . Like you know , some people have like a phrase or word . You have your journaling , what , what is like some good takeaways or advice or tips that you can share about how you process that ?
It's simple for me , it like literally when I said lies . I don't yell it out loud anymore , or not today , but I still say it . So lies , just straight out your lies lies Cause I have to let her know like that's a lie because it was . You know , like I know , the things that are being repeated are things that were once said and I'm like those are lies .
I am worthy , I am deserving , I am loved . You know I can do it . So when you're telling me I can't or you're asking me , why am I doing that ? Because I can , because I do deserve it and not just me , like removing me from it . Other people deserve it , because not everyone is going to use their voice this way , because a lot comes with it .
But hearing my voice and like the greatest thing that was told to me is living your life grants someone else permission to live theirs . So hearing these things being like girl , like the feedback from my book , people saying , girl , I didn't know that was a thing I do that , oh my God .
Like one of my Amazon reviews said , like it was so relatable , I felt like I was being read , like that is what I want . I want people to be understanding . You're not alone in this . You go through this , you feel these things and guess what ? It's okay . It's okay . Nobody ever told me it was okay to hurt , it was okay to want different .
It was okay to be something , it's okay . And if I got to be that person in the book or on the podcast telling you like girl , it's okay , get up , go do it , go get that therapist , go get that coach , go find that community that's going to love and support you .
You can walk away from your family and their mess . I'm going to be that voice . Yeah , walking away . I think , setting boundaries , I think that's great advice . I love that . I've heard you say before another podcast where you've actually paused and you say you challenge those thoughts by asking it true , is it really true ?
And , like I've done that , I'm like , yeah , I mean , is that true or we're just making this stuff up in our heads ? Um , so that's . I love that . You have something I heard you also call a morning check-in . Yeah , let me talk about that . Yeah , so I have morning check-in . Yeah , can you talk about that ?
Yeah . So I have morning check-ins and they are me every morning before anybody can talk to me , get anything from me , do anything in this house . I get to check in with me . I get to say you know , hey , how you feeling today , what do you need today ? And I run through this process before we start the day and it's necessary because I got to be good .
I got these two kids running around , I got a husband running around for a lot of us that's another kid , right , so it's like I got the dog . I got a lot going on , so it's like I got to make sure that I'm good .
And if it's a day where I'm not , because , like another thing that I'm trying to defeat and I hope I can't is this thing on the internet about perfection .
These you know , oh my gosh , it's horrible , right ?
Yep , it's like these people who are positive are not met with challenges . We're challenged every day , all day . So if it's a day where I wake up , say I'm feeling funky because this also goes to the book Monica woke up feeling funky , didn't check in with herself and went crazy on everybody in her life . So I wake up , I'm not feeling good .
All right , julie , how are you feeling ? I always start with a feeling how are you feeling ? Oh , I'm not feeling too good today . Okay , what do you need ? So if today's a day where I'm met with challenges , what do I need ? And I will go through okay , I'm tired , I got a lot going on with the kids and with the business and all these things .
So I always have like a daily task list . So I have my household tasks , the tasks with the kids , the tasks with the business . I will move things around . Say , I got five things to do on my business checklist . Well , today I only can handle two or three .
And those other things that I'm not getting due today , I will stretch them out through the week and place them into other days so I don't become overwhelmed in other areas and I'll say , okay , well , this is . I got a light load on Tuesday . I'll just add this in on Tuesday . I got a light load on Friday . I'll add this in on Friday .
I'll make sure that I rearrange the furniture that day so that I can move through these spaces and be okay , so that it doesn't spill over onto my kids where I'm snapping and I'm going crazy on them . Or my husband comes home and he's like what'd I do ? You didn't take the trash out before you left . You didn't know that was going to set me off today .
You know , like all these things . So I do that . And then I'll also make sure and I don't know if I told you this I tell my husband now . So I'm not feeling good . This is what I'm going to do today with me . This is what I'm going to do with the kids . This is what I need from you when you get home . Love that .
That helps keep things in balance and helps the flow of things be a little bit better that day . I'm not about being superwoman , I'm not about being perfect . I'm about being like hey , we on a trip to crazy town today . So this is what I need , and like let's just roll with it .
Yeah , and men . I think men respond better when we ask them something very specific that they need to do for us , whether it's give us space , whether it's give us a hug , whether it's give us just like , leave us alone , right , stay away , and I think that's brilliant and more women should do that . What do you do for self-care ?
Then I hear you creating space in your day , which I think is brilliant . I think some of us moms , women we want to do it all . Because we have to do it all , like we feel like everything's going to fall apart if we're not doing everything on a certain day . So I love that advice , you know , give yourself , juggle up , move the furniture around .
But what do you do specifically for care ? What do you do to take care of Julieie ?
okay , so those days , yeah , swim , oh I'm swimming . It's my thing and , like now that it's summer , I can swim outside . But I um , I like to swim , you like I like the juice . I like the water . I love the water . I like bubble baths like we got a lot of winter months , I like bubble baths . I like sitting is . I like sitting on . I love music .
I like sitting alone and stretching to music or just sitting there and unplugging where the only words that go into my mind are the sounds of a song or a beat or something like that . I just like to unplug . Even when I'm in the water , I like to be in there until I zone out and all I can hear is the water , even when I'm in the water .
I like to be in there until I zone out and all I can hear is the water , none of the sounds around me , none of the noise , just that . And I like to like go into myself and just be calm , like if I can steal moments away to just sit on the floor and listen to music or go to the pool and literally float on my back and just hear those sounds .
That's it , because everything is constant noise , you know ? Yeah , like , so I just like to unplug and go into sounds that I want Selective hearing , right , like that's it .
Yeah , I love that and it's so . Water for me is , even if I just look at it because I have a pool here and I look at the water , I'm like , oh , it's so soothing Because water is very yin , water is yin-like , like , oh , it's so soothing because water is very yin . Water is yin like it's nurturing , uh , it's emotions and all that .
So it's a way , kind of like , to embody that lovely , like soothing energy . So I love that . Um , you recently went on a vacation , your like first family vacation . How was that for you ? How , how was that like , like just I don know that , how was the vibe around all that ?
It was nice , it was fun it was fun . Okay , look , you have little kids , right , so I have little kids , so it was fun . But it was like crazy at the same time , Crazy , fun , yeah . So it was like a lot of no , stop running , Don't do that , Come here , Not safe . It was like a lot of like policing and life guarding .
But then it was like a lot of stopping and just watching and feeling like I was so sensitive on this trip for so many different reasons , and it was like I cried the day that we left , Like my husband's like um , I think he did this thing . Uh , I think I got everything out the room . You want to go check before we leave ?
And I was like , yeah , I'll go do a check . So I go up to the room and I'm walking around the hotel room and like all of our stuff is gone , Everything's all you know , beds all turnt up , and I'm like looking around and I walk out on the balcony because the ocean , we had an ocean
¶ Empowering Parenting and Creative Projects
view and all that and I stopped on the balcony and I was just like listening to the ocean and I was just like thank you , Looked out in the sky and was just like thank you . And then I started crying . Then I went down to the car because like and I might get a little emotional here , but I never had that Like and it was a huge thing for me , Like .
I never had that Like and watching my kids have that it soothed my inner child so much Because I was like . I used to dream about this and wonder what is that like for kids ? Sorry .
No , you're making me cry too . I'm sorry , no no , don't be sorry .
No sorry's here , but I was just like what is that like for a kid to run on the beach and just be laughing and be happy , and like parents like watching that and laughing and being happy , and like something that small did so much for me .
And I went out in the ocean and I was just splashing around , I had a bodyboard , I was doing my thing and a wave hit me and it sent me flying up to the shore and I like scraped my stomach all on the beach and I laughed so loud . There's a man like standing there like are you okay ? And I was just looking at him laughing so crazy .
And he's like are you okay ? And I'm like looking at him just laughing .
All this work that you're doing , connecting with your inner child , identifying the , the voices and the dialogue . How is this helping you become a different parent ? Like then , what ? How you were raised a better parent ?
um , gosh , that's a lot , because I'm so aware that it hurts sometimes . You know , um , I say things to my kids Like it's , it's my six-year-old . I tell him every morning , and I've been telling him since he was little when he wakes up good morning , you are loved , you are smart , you are brave , you are strong , you are creative .
I just keep adding things as we go , and the other morning I said to him good morning , I love you . And I was like do you know you're smart ? He goes . I know was like do you know you're smart ? He goes . I know , mom , do you know you're create ? I know already . Come up with new words . Yeah , I'm like do you know you're brave ? Yeah , I know already .
Um , can I get my tablet ? Like . But I'm glad he knows these things and like and those are the things that are becoming annoying to him , because I'm just like I . Words matter so much . The things that you speak over your children will come to life absolutely he may have been completely annoyed with my affirmations , but he's gonna grow into this man one day .
That's going to be confident . He's going to know he had love . He's going to know that he's strong . He's going to know he's brave . He's going to know he can overcome . You know he's going to have this resilience in him and that's like all I want . That is all I want . I don't want them to live fear-based lives .
I don't want them to , you know , be men that don't that fear being loved or loving , you know , being caring and kind , all these different things . So that is the big thing is I speak life over them because I truly believe that death was spoken over me .
So I breathe life into them and then I I'm not afraid of them telling me about myself , I'm not afraid to be accountable , I'm not afraid to apologize to them and tell them I'm not perfect and I need to do better . And when I'm not doing better , it's okay to tell me .
I love how you're communicating with your kids . Not only are you telling them that you know they're like this , brilliant and beautiful and wonderful , but you understand that this is going to help them become the person that is kind and loving and will treat others that way , and you know you're . It's like this ripple effect that you're moving forward .
You know , and you're juggling a lot . You're juggling family . You've written a book , your business , your podcast . I mean , how do you ? I know you move furniture around in your schedule . It's a lot of stuff . You have anything else that you're working on down the pike , like I know you've done film before . I kind of see a lot of things happening with you .
Oh my gosh , so full of dishes . Okay , so I haven't made a short film . The last short film I made was in 2018 and it was a collaboration . So I have this thing in me where I want to shoot sink full of dishes as a short and put it out there , because I know , like this world we live in now is so , like you know , microwave quick , quick , quick .
So everybody's not going to read the book , even though I designed the book for people to read it . It's only 72 pages , like I just packed a lot of power into 72 pages . It's ready set go and I literally was like well , people might not read it or they might not listen to the . I'm working on the audio version . Nice , they will watch the short .
So it's dinging off in my head like the storyboard keeps . So I believe in the near future , you guys can expect the Sink Full of Dishes short film .
Nice . Anything else you want to add before we wrap up ? I have just loved our conversation and your energy is so amazing and beautiful and you're just so transparent and awesome . Anything you want to share , anything else , I don't know , I think .
I covered a lot . Yeah , Read the book . Everybody read the book . Like I promise you , when you start reading it you're going to read it in a day . Everybody I haven't had any couple of day readers yet . Everybody that's reached out told me they read it in a day and then they went back . One person told me she read it three times .
She read it three times and then she went back and she started doing the workbook . So in the book I wrote it because my background is in film and television . I wrote it like a stage play . So there's acts and in between each act there's an interlude and those interludes have questions .
So first I break down what happened so you can understand , because it again ties back into something . So each act I break down at the end of it in the interlude , what happened , where , Monica , where all this came from .
Then I give you tools that you can use to kind of um , redirect that power and then I give you a workbook that says okay , now that you have all this information , because I want to slow you down . Our minds are so busy all the time . I want to slow you down and have you really tap into this . So then it's like have you ever experienced this ?
What did you feel while you were reading this ? What can you do to redirect that power ? And then I let you , after the interlude , go into the next act and this is how the book is structured . I love that and it's just a lot of Monica . She's on a rampage and I want you guys to read it because the rampage it's literally like we don't think about .
If we wake up in the morning and we're not feeling good because we do we got a lot going on , especially moms , especially women . You wake up in the morning , maybe you didn't get enough sleep , you got all this stuff going on , but you still got to tackle the day .
If you don't tap into that , even if it's only five to 10 minutes in the morning , if you don't tap into that feeling and to your needs to soothe that feeling , you won't even realize it Once you start spiraling in all the different areas in your life that you will be setting bombs off in until it's too late . And that's what happens in the book .
Monica wakes up funky , goes through the whole day and then at the end of the day , when she realizes it , it's like oh , wow , that's a mess . And then it's letting us know that that's okay . You recognize the mess , you know it's there . Give yourself some grace , be kind to yourself and let's make sure we can prevent this from happening again .
That's it Beautiful . I love that . Thank you for that . Thank you for sharing that . And that your book just has is even richer by exploring , you know , with questions and prompts and tools that I love that . And I see a sink full of dishes dishes book club and you know , like gatherings .
You know I just like my mind starts to go and I'm like I could see all that for you .
I forgot that I have a group , so join the sink full of dishes Facebook group . Um , I'll , I'll send you the link to it . I'll send you the link to the group Join the group . I talk about all kinds of stuff in the group . I ask you about the book where you're at in the book . I put little videos in there .
