BadASS Social Anxiety PT 1 - My BadASS Life VLOG #21 @ccndoc

BadASS Social Anxiety PT 1 - My BadASS Life VLOG #21 @ccndoc

Stay tuned for PT 2 - Doc’s take on things! 😳 This week’s question: DO YOU HAVE SOCIAL ANXIETY? 🤔 Ask me anything! I get questions all the time about everything from Cancer to poop to navigating life. As an executive coach I’m used to being the one asking the questions, but I have always said, if you’re brave enough to ask, I’ll answer. This one really made me think. Do I have social anxiety or have I just become a #SocialIntrovert? Listen and find out! 😉 #CancerAdvocacy is about talking about ALL the things! Including those that make us uncomfortable. We do this in order to help others navigate similar roads. That said, not all cancer survivors have #SocialAnxiety, and social anxiety is certainly not limited to cancer survivors! There is something in this message for almost everyone. I’d like to ask that you listen to the end where I also talk about how having LARS (lower anterior resection syndrome) affects all of this as well. Have a question for me? Ask it in the comments! #PoopWarrior #Remission4Ever #GoodJobNotDying #StillFartingSparkles #ColorectalCancer 💪🏼 #RectalCancer #SemiColonIsLife #LARS #Larsian 👽 #CancerBlog #CancerVlog #IMRT #Folfox #ULAR #LGBTQCancerSurvivor 🏳️‍🌈 #LifeAfterCancer #AliveToThrive #Ambivert #HSP #Empath About Us: #CCnDoc 👯‍♀️ #UnapologeticallyEclectic #DynamicDuo 💃💃 #CCnDocDIY 🛠️ #NoDickVanDyke 🚐 #CCnDocTalkPodcast 🎙️ #MyBadASSLife Blog+Vlog (‿;‿) #CRCBadAss 💪 #RectalCancerSurvivor 💙 #Poopologist 💩 #LiveBold 🔗Linktr.ee/CCnDoc

June is Pride Month! Because there is so much misunderstood about the LGBTQ+ community, we are doing our part to build a bridge of understanding, love and hope by sharing our experiences over the last 21+ years together. People fear what they don’t know or understand. We ask you to seek understanding first. This episode starts off with powerful words from Rachel Held Evans (Christian Minister and former Evangelical) who we've just gotten acquainted with and also are grieving the loss of_she died at the age of 38 in 2019. She was a straight voice for the LGBTQ+ community and she was making such a difference in the minds of Christians and how they view LGBTQ+ individuals. May her words and wishes live on. If you are a straight ally, this podcast will also give you some insight into what it's like to be LGBTQ+ in 2023. Suffice it to say things were going pretty well, and now the tide is turning again_Not everything ends up on the news. Keeping in mind "queer" isn’t one-size-fits-all, and our perspective is just ours, we’re encouraging you to be brave and ask questions of all of your LGBTQ+ friends, relatives and even strangers to really seek to understand what it’s like to be in their shoes. We (all) have more in common than you think! Love IS the answer. What is the question? ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🩷🤎🖤🩶🤍❤️‍🩹 Thank you! 🏳️‍🌈 Find us at @CCnDoc on social media and at: linktr.ee/ccndoc

CCnDocTalk_S2/E3_The Mindf*ck of Body Image and Weight_3/4/2023_Audio Only

With such strong cultural influences, when it comes to our health, what really matters and what should we be focusing on? This podcast delves into our psyches and exposes unhealthy thoughts and behaviors around weight and body image. It’s time we stop self-shaming and shaming others based on unrealistic and cookie-cutter standards! Where do these crazy ideas come from? When CC was feeling her best the scale was up but she had a tumor! They told her not to lose weight during cancer treatment, so she lost 40 pounds! Not on purpose obviously. But, having gone up and down in weight over the years, and finally giving up on the number a few years before; this was quite the mindfuck! So now what happens? Many of us are guilty of watching the scoreboard instead of the game, in this case, watching the scale instead of our life. The numbers on the scale are only one small indicator of good health. We need to be aware of all of the indicators, this is why watching the scale is a mindfuck. Even though Doc weighs more than people would think, she has a reputation as someone who can eat anything she wants and stay slender. But behind the scenes one could say she has an unhealthy relationship with the scale, weighing in each day to make sure the numbers are within her personal acceptable range. When the numbers go up, she’s harder on herself than she should be. She always says she does not want to buy a new wardrobe, which begs the question, is it about money or weight? Of course, it's important to be healthy! It's also important to not feel deprived or to shame yourself into "good behavior". How do we (all) change the way we see ourselves and be in tune enough with our bodies to listen to what they truly need and want on a day-to-day basis, and not be influenced by unrealistic archetypes?  Find us at @CCnDoc on social media and at: linktr.ee/ccndoc

CCnDocTalk_S1/E27_How to Keep Your Sanity During Family Holidays_12/23/2022_Audio Only

Do you love your family yet struggle with how to keep your sanity during family holidays? Family dynamics can be challenging even for the healthiest of families. Add to that the stress of these last few years of politics and pandemic, which have certainly stretched many family relationships thin, not to mention the crazy phenomenon of regression that occurs the moment you get back into your family unit (once the youngest always the youngest), and trying to accommodate so many different opinions, tastes, routines and desires into a seamless and peaceful gathering. One where you don’t go home saying, WTF?!? Or feel guilty until the next year’s vacay. Our conversation is unscripted as always so here are our (aspirational) 8 TIPS for a more sane family holiday vacation in a nutshell: 1. DON’T discuss politics or religion for any reason and be ready to change the subject! We have shirts that say, “Proud Member of the Cocktail Party!” (Available in our CCnDoc Store). This kind of humor diffuses political conversations. 2. DO take time for yourself even if it’s hard to get away! 3. DO be flexible when you can! 4. DO practice mindfulness. Use an app like free Insight Timer to meditate each morning (even 5 minutes can help) before you greet the day and the family at the breakfast table. Eating is also a great time to be mindful. Enjoy every bite, by savoring and chewing your food well, and don’t let the table conversation affect your digestion. 5. DO give genuine compliments and validation freely! 6. DO say please and Thank You even for simple things. 7. DON’T make assumptions whenever possible. Be willing to broach difficult topics with love, compassion and/or humor when possible and seek to understand the other person’s perspective. Unless your opinions on the topic are too strong then… 8. CHOOSE your battles and KEEP YOUR OPINIONS TO YOURSELF! Ask yourself what winning this round is worth to you? How important is it if your sister-in-law loads the dishwasher the wrong way as long as the dishes get done and your brother isn’t pissed off at you for the next year?
