Upgrading Your Self Talk to Improve Your EQ and Help You Succeed
In this episode, Dr. Ally walks the listeners through a tool she developed on her quest to help others reform their self-talk. Dr. Ally believes that everyone should spend some time working on their self-talk because it is a core component of being able to mentor yourself through finding solutions for your emotions, instead of escalating and spiraling deeper when you feel uncomfortable emotions.
This Won’t Last Forever
Comparison will keep us in hard times longer than we have to be! Dr. Ally shares how she stopped comparing and found that when she focused on what she needed and wanted, she was able to create a reservoir of inner strength and power. When we stop comparing, we get security and empowerment.
Gratitude

Increasing Self-Kindness
Being good to yourself is an essential skill for a thriving life. When we master this approach towards ourselves, it gives us the strength to overcome many obstacles and disappointments. It also teaches others how to treat us. In this episode, Dr. Ally talks about how kindness brings us hope. The good news is, we can give this kindness to ourselves and step into our future today!
Increasing Self-Efficacy to Feel More Hopeful
One of the most powerful ways to increase hope is by increasing self-efficacy. Self-efficacy is your own inner sense of how likely you are to succeed at something and achieve the results you are looking for. The best news is that there are ways to grow your self-efficacy, and it is not as difficult as you might think.

The good news is we don’t have to plan something huge to get the benefits of anticipation. Find out how you can start to anticipate even the small things and increase your overall hope and satisfaction in life little by little!
Increasing Hope by Focusing on One Positive Thing
Each positive change can have a domino effect! Sometimes, on our journey to a better life, we can get stuck feeling overwhelmed by all the big changes we want or need to make. That is why one of the best ways to increase hope is to focus on just one positive change at a time. As we do, it builds self-efficacy, confidence, and a sense of progress, so we can see ourselves getting closer to our goals!
Increasing Hope by Overcoming Fear of Failure
Fear of Failure is really fear that we cannot process emotions related to failure and fear of what we think “failure” means about us. The fear of failure has a toxic effect on every area of our life. It destroys progress and accomplishments before they even have a chance to happen! Overcoming the fear of failure lowers stress and creates space for productive problem-solving and hope in our life.
Increasing Hope Through The Power of Imagination
Imagination is a powerful tool that can increase or decrease our hope in life. Many of us imagine the worst-case scenario in the future without even realizing that is what we are doing. But, imagination can be a powerful force to increase our hope and happiness in life. In this episode, find out how to use your imagination so that it is an asset to your life!
The Difference Between a Therapist and Life Coach
There are so many kinds of professionals that can help you gain clarity and awareness and make changes in your life! The problem is, sometimes we do not know which one we need and are looking for! In this episode, Dr. Ally breaks down in a simple way some of the main differences between a psychologist, counselor, therapist, life coach, social worker, and marriage and family therapist! Her goal is to provide clarity to empower yourself and the people around you to connect with the professional that best meets your needs!
Changing Your Narrative
In this episode, Dr. Ally talks about how so much of how we feel about ourselves, others and our future is based on the narrative we tell ourselves. No one can make you believe a narrative that is not serving you unless you let them. Be empowered to consider the narrative you will create today!
Books
The My Emotions Journal was created out of an overwhelming need for people to learn about their emotions, what they are and are not, and what to do with them. Inside these pages, you will see a simple framework to help guide you in understanding emotions correctly and beginning to process these complex realities on your own. This is a process of guided self-discovery.
This devotional is a biblically-based guide to growing and improving your relational skills and your relationships! Over the years, we have discovered two core elements of improving relationships. These two principles apply to every relationship you will ever have. These core elements are openness and ownership. These cornerstones set our relationships up for success. Without them, our relationships are doomed to failure! This devotional is a dance between biblically-based principles that help us perfect our relationships and psychology.
