  • Moving On: Letting Go of the Past and Embracing Change
    Apr 22 2024
    Ep. 108 Kelly Marie explores the profound interplay between movement, mental health, and the significance of a stable living environment. As she ventures through her own personal experience of moving homes, Kelly Marie provides listeners with a candid, thoughtful narrative around the holistic concept of movement, extending beyond mere physical exercise to include the shifts and transitions we undertake in life. Kelly Marie dives deep into her reflections on the process of moving and its impact on mental well-being, chronicling three pivotal relocation experiences that have shaped her journey. The host touches on the importance of a secure home base, the challenges of finding new living spaces, and the mental load carried through such transitions. Each segment of Kelly Marie's story is rich with authenticity and vulnerability, providing a unique lens into the complexities of maintaining mental health amid life's inevitable changes. Key Takeaways: Stability in one's living situation is crucial for mental health, and managing changes in housing can introduce considerable stress. Personal experiences and the choices made in response to them, like proactive moving, are significant in maintaining mental well-being. It's essential to engage in self-care and set boundaries, allowing one to say no to overcommitment and prioritize mental health. Taking a step back to reassess one's capacity can be vital in preventing mental health strain amidst life's demands and stressors. Notable Quotes: "And so because I knew I would need to move, I just moved at a time that was most convenient and conducive to me instead of being on someone else's schedule." "You can say no after you've said yes. You do not have to stay stuck in a thing." "How can I go through this training to help bring life into the world if I'm not taking care of the life that God gave me?"
