The way we communicate, engage, and connect with ourselves—how we relate to our thoughts and process our experiences through inner dialogue—is all part of our self-talk. Whether positive, negative, or neutral, it can influence and affect how we perceive ourselves, navigate challenges, and move through the world.

I’ve struggled with negative self-talk for a long time, especially in how I interpret difficult experiences and respond to mental health triggers. I often catastrophize, sometimes unknowingly, because it feels safer to anticipate the worst than to be caught off guard. I’m also very hard on myself when I make mistakes or don’t meet perceived expectations.

Since entering recovery a few years ago, I’ve been learning how to be kinder to myself. Using neutral and self-soothing affirmations has helped me cope with cycles of depression, anxiety, and panic. It takes a lot of intentional effort, and sometimes it still feels unnatural after years of being so self-critical, but I’ve come a long—and I know I’m in a much better place than I was in my teen years.

Do you struggle with negative self-talk? How do you manage or cope with it? What has helped you?

Familial relationships can be complex, even more so for those of us who have experienced some level of trauma/abuse, or who have set boundaries with our immediate or extended biological families for a variety of reasons. Thankfully, this doesn’t necessarily mean we can’t create a family of our own.

A "found family" (also called a "chosen family") is a family we create ourselves with people we meet who help us to feel safe, protected, and loved.

Do you have a "found family?" Tell us about them. What makes your relationships with them great?

Feeling jealous or insecure doesn’t mean you’re weak — it means you’re human. But most people either shame themselves for feeling that way or let it eat them alive.

What if you could use that emotion as a tool for self-growth?

In this video, I share how to turn jealousy into fuel — to help you find direction, spark ambition, and grow into the person you want to become.

Whether it’s completing a daily task, making a life or career decision, choosing to do (or not do) something, having an aha moment, setting a boundary, adjusting a habit, or committing to a regular intentional change — every accomplishment, big or small, is worth acknowledging.

When was a time or moment when you felt accomplished?

Sometimes your mind will convince you there’s so much to worry about. When this happens, pause for a moment and notice: is there actually something happening right now, or is it just your thoughts racing ahead? You’re doing your best. That’s enough. Take a deep breath, ground yourself in gratitude, and remind yourself that life has a way of working itself out. Align your energy with trust instead of fear. Even small daily moments of gratitude or mindfulness help shift your mindset. All is well, even when it feels uncertain. Can you allow yourself to believe that today?
