Blissfully Calm Podcast

Today I am talking to you about the steps I am taking to overcome my fear of flying. With my past experiences of severe panic and being claustrophobic on an aircraft it was not a good scene, let alone feeling. However, with tickets purchased for a concert in Las Vegas, routine healing and therapy, I am no longer making excuses for my upcoming trip. It is happening, and I am proud of myself for getting over the fears. We are all a work in progress, and this is mine! Were you able to overcome a fear of flying? What did it for you? Tag me @blissfullycalm on your Instagram Stories and let’s chat about it. I would love to learn what worked best for you.

I was recently asked why I move so much and today I am here to answer that question for you. To be completely honest, I have lived in almost 20 different places over the past few years. Crazy! I know! Next time will be Costa Rica if the Universe works in my favor… From Northern California to Seattle to the mountains to now San Diego where I am truly the happiest. I’ve been wanting to live here to quite some time and now I am and could not be more excited. I am also only a few minutes from my office, so no crazy California commute for me! I mean, could I be any luckier? Being 90 minutes from my family now is also a bonus. In today’s show I’m getting into the details of how and why each move happened. The reasoning behind my decision making. At the end of the day you just need to make choices that will enhance your true quality of life and well being.

It’s my birthday week and it’s also the year where I have had the most personal growth. In today’s episode I’m sharing some mindset shifts that you can start to implement into your own life when it comes to anxiety. In my opinion anxiety comes in two forms. We have situational and self-imposed. Situational is when you would be stressed out at work or maybe when a big move is about to happen. Self-imposed is more of when your mind starts running and you think of worst-case scenarios and really have no control over your mind. Tune in today to hear some of my tips that I personally use to overcome anxiety. Do you struggle with anxiety? If so, which kind? I would love to help you feel calmer and stress less over your everyday struggles.

I have a confession to make…I have been overspending and falling into the trap of instant gratification.  In episode 3 of the Blissfully Calm Podcast, I shared my story of how I paid off $100,000 in debt.  During the years of paying off my debt, I made a lot of sacrifices and lived an extremely frugal life.   I decided to keep one credit card open.  I used this card to pay for 3 trips to Costa Rica, Europe, and countless other trips.  This card was also connected to my Amazon Prime account which made it so easy to buy anything I wanted.  I became addicted to the feeling instant gratification and the dopamine hit I got when I came home to a box from Amazon.  My monthly credit card statements nearly gave me a heart attack.  Every month I paid the balance off but would regularly have to transfer money from my savings.   A few weeks ago, I had an aha-moment that my overspending was putting my future in jeopardy.  Instead of investing my money, I was a consuming and buying things I didn’t need.  I was so angry with myself that I made the drastic decision to cut my credit card up and canceled my Amazon Prime membership.  It has been a few weeks since I’ve cut up my card and I’ve been living off a cash budget.  I feel much calmer knowing that I’m not overspending and that I will not have a panic attack when Capital One sends me an email with my balance each month.  Looking back, I’ve always been happiest when I’m living a minimalist lifestyle and placing my focus on experiences and not things.   If you’re currently experiencing elevated levels of stress, anxiety or overwhelm, I’m here to help.  Make sure to download my free E-Book “The Blissfully Calm Guide to Overcoming Anxiety, Elevating Your Mindset and Up-Leveling Your Life.”   This guide walks you through 5 of the most important steps to take to enjoy your life again and feel blissfully calm in our chaotic world.

Welcome to the very first episode of the Blissfully Calm Podcast! The Blissfully Calm Podcast is a weekly show hosted by me. Brooks Dawn Hall. Discussions designed for high achieving women who are seeking more calm and bliss. During my career in corporate America and law firms I witnessed countless women who were experiencing burnout caused constant stress, jam packed schedules, too much caffeine and not enough rest. I then started to notice my own health was deteriorating and was experiencing a long list of stress related symptoms such as low blood pressure, insomnia, extreme fatigue, joint pain, and anxiety. I was diagnosed with adrenal fatigue and was forced to slow down and focus on my health and well-being. I was able to heal my adrenals by taking time to reconnect with myself, practice self-care, cleaned up my diet, and learned how to manage my stress. After transforming my health and my entire life, I became inspired to create the Blissfully Calm brand to help women overcome burnout and to remind them to rest, restore and recharge. If you’re looking to elevate your wellness, self-care, spirituality and personal development then the Blissfully Calm lifestyle and podcast are exactly what you’ve been looking for. In today’s show, I’m giving you a little backstory on myself and what is to come in the next few episodes. To learn more about the Blissfully Calm brand and community visit blissfullycalm.com.
