Beyond Auto-Pilot by Embracing Emotions to Energize Our Day

🌿✨ Ever feel like you're just going through the motions—both in business and at home? I've been there, too. Disconnected from my emotions, trapped in a cycle of low-level thinking and just... showing up. It felt like I was watching my life rather than living it.

But here's the twist—realizing that I can change my energetic state was a game-changer. 🔄 Now, I use powerful, practical tools to stay present, grounded, open, and truly alive. These tools don't just help me; they transform how I engage with my family and how I drive my business forward.

It's about building an intentional and beneficial relationship with our emotions. This isn't just self-improvement; it's about empowering our whole selves to thrive in every aspect of life. 🌱👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

So, to all of you navigating the demands of parenting and entrepreneurship, know this: You're not alone. We're in this journey together, discovering every day how to live more vibrantly. Let's keep sharing our truths and growing stronger. 💪🌟

I’d love to hear your stories too. Share your experiences in the comments below—how are you staying connected and vibrant amidst the hustle?

🕖 Feeling exhausted by 7 PM? It might be time for a check-in!

Just as we gauge our health through indicators like digestion, the way we feel in the evening can tell us a lot about how we’re managing our energy throughout the day.

👀 Signs to Watch For: If you’re craving quick fixes like pizza or zoning out with TV, and wanting a change, it’s a sign that stress and poor nutrition are depleting your energy more than you might realize.

💪 Transform Your Evening: Many of us, especially busy parents and professionals, dream of ending our days feeling relaxed and present. What if you could enjoy those precious evening hours without feeling drained?

🥗 Take Action: Start by asking, “How do I want to feel after this meal?” Choose foods that truly fuel you and plan your evenings to engage more with your loved ones. Remember, making movies is better than just watching them!

Let’s make our evenings a time of presence and joy!

The Pleasure Principle for Growth Without the Grit....

Ever feel like your journey of self-growth is solely about trudging through the tough stuff? It's a common belief, and one worth questioning.

I get it. We're often told that growth comes from facing our deepest pains head-on. And yes, acknowledging and processing those emotions is important.

❌ But is it the ONLY way to grow? Is it true that self-growth MUST be synonymous with hanging out with hard stuff?

💡 Here's a radical idea: what if growth could also be from embracing feelings like joy, love, and connection?

If you stick to the old narrative, you might find yourself stuck in a cycle of struggle, exhausted from diving into your hard emotions.

But imagine if you re-wired your brain for a new perspective, one that welcomes joy, ease, and lightness into your growth.

👉 So, are you ready to re-wire your brain’s belief that growth is only found in pain? Comment below with "Yes, I resonate with this" if you're ready to explore a new way of growth.

My poem on snacks. ✨

All snacking is emotional. (Unless planned and with purpose). My daughter did not used to snack. Now, she is in school where snacking is normal. So I am offering her the nourishing options.

🌟 Embracing Forgiveness & Choosing Love 💖

Today, I’m reflecting on the incredible power of forgiveness and the simple yet profound choice of love. Forgiving others and ourselves lightens our hearts and paves the way for healing. Love is always the answer. 💕

Thank you, Val ✨

Becoming Parents Podcast with Chandra Zas
SPECIAL RELEASE LOCAL EPISODE!

The imperfect show notes:

I conceived my daughter while living on a cruise ship.

Was stationary in ca for 6 months. From 7 months pregnant til 4 mo old baby. Then flew internationally and lived out of suitcases for the first 4 years of my kids life.

Worked with a midwife in Santa Rosa. Was in a birth center- went into labor Monday eve. Used nitrous for pain. Transferred to a hospital Thursday night. Had a c- section Friday at 9:30 am. Hospital water heater broken. No shower.

Janet Lansbury is a huge resource from my psychologist on how to transfer my psychological growth onto parenting.

"Kids are not giving us a hard time, rather they are having a hard time."

I get complimented regularly on being a “good mom” which I attribute to my own emotional/ mindfulness/ empathetic self-growth and personal work.

I was a sick kid with allergies and specialists. I applied all my gut health knowledge onto my kiddo. She is super healthy. No allergies. Well regulated. I was asked by her preschool to give a little all to the other parents on how to feed the kids so they could be more regulated (making it easier for teachers).

I’m now working on helping my daughters school with food and how to nourish the kids so they can focus and be regulated.

I have a food and mood coaching program for parents and professionals. “Un- hijack your (and your kids) brain from foods that make you feel off and dis-regulated) + learn how to crave foods that make you feel on and regulated."

Thank you for the opportunity to be interviewed.
