We all want people to think we’re perfect, but the reality is that nobody has it all together. And weirdly enough, the more we’re willing to admit that and work on our issues, the healthier and stronger we become! This week, Ashleyne and guest co-host Tifani Goen dive into a difficult topic: accepting our own issues and moving forward toward growth and healing. They are both invested in ending stigmas - surrounding both addiction and mental health - and Tifani describes her journey to her October 23rd anniversary: one year sober!

So often we find ourselves frustrated by our progress (or lack thereof) because we’re comparing ourselves to others or setting unrealistic expectations. And all it does is create a negative mindset and feelings of failure! But how do we actually accept where we are in life without settling or giving up? Guest Co-host Tifani Goen joins Ashleyne for a discussion on accepting where we are - whether we’re currently making slow progress, waiting in a difficult life stage, or just not quite where or who we want to be yet.

Accepting feedback is one of the best ways to grow, learn how others see you, and turn mistakes into opportunities. So why is it so difficult to listen and process and grow when others tell you what they see? Ashleyne and guest co-host Corey Tindall continue our Acceptance Policies series with a discussion of how to accept feedback, why it’s important, and what to do if you don’t trust the person giving you the feedback.

We all need help sometimes, but it can be incredibly difficult to accept it! Our egos, our insecurities, and our concern for inconveniencing others all stand in the way. So what can we do about it?

Are you hard on yourself? Do you sometimes live in denial? Are you your own worst critic, beating yourself up for every mistake and misstep? You're not alone. Ashleyne and Becky continue our Acceptance Policies series with an episode on the difficulties and benefits of accepting yourself as you are.

"You did great!"

"You look amazing!"

"You're so smart!"

No matter the content of the compliment, many of us struggle to accept the positive and affirming words of others. Why is that? Is it self-sabotage or humility? And what would it look like to start accepting compliments? Becky and Ashleyne kick off our Acceptance Policies series by digging into the reality of accepting compliments.

There are so many things in life we have to choose whether or not to accept, from accepting reality to accepting the terms and conditions of a gift card giveaway! So how do we approach acceptance in everyday life, especially since it can span such broad ideas as unconditionally accepting others and accepting responsibility? This series tackles all things acceptance, both serious and lighthearted! Becky and Ashleyne kick things off by diving into the benefits and pitfalls of accepting reality.
