    Oct 1 2021
    On this week's episode of Unpacked the Podcast, Rev, Tiff, and Di, dive deep into unpacking Negative Self-Talk. We all have had that inner voice commit treason against our highest dreams, visions, and the best version of life we want to live. Join us as we talk about what negative self-talk is, how we deal with it on a personal level, and how you can stop that inner voice from taking over. In this episode you will hear: Rev's best advice for defeating negative mantras and turning your words into positive life-giving words. Where we get our internal dialogue from and how we can make changes today. Tiff gives us insight into how she treats herself and how she plans to do better in the future in ways you can follow. Di gets brutally honest with everyone about how negative self-talk has manifested in her life today, how her wife helped her change her speech with the Five Nice Things project, and how she intends to live 2021 differently. This week in our "Let's Unpack" session we give advice to a woman living outside of America who is facing divorce because of the decisions she's made.

    Sep 17 2021
    Hey Unpacked Nation, we are back with another episode, and this week we are digging deep on the topic: Are We Addicted to Normal?  We were inspired by an episode of Aubrey Marcus and his YouTube episode: We open up about how we feel when it comes to moving past the struggle in life, to living comfortably, and how that is impactful on our success in the chapter in our lives.  We break down the action we plan on taking to overcome our weaknesses and how we will let go of what is holding us back in a public and transparent way. This week's AITB comes from Reddit where a user asks if not seeking help for addiction makes them 'The Butthole'.  Thanks for tuning in, remember to subscribe and share this episode!

    Aug 13 2021
    Rewind Episode 32! Another rewind episode on deck and it’s one of our favorites! While Rev, Tiff, and Di are on a summer break, we enjoy going back over our favorite episodes and sharing them again with you! This week we are unpacking ego and this is a topic we didn't take lightly. We got our inspiration from episode where she talks to heavy hitters in the personal development space like Eckhart Tolle, Dr. Wayne Dyer, Brene Brown, and more.  We talk about our feelings about ego, how you can define ego and what you can do to overcome ego once you know what it is and how it impacts your day-to-day existence.  In this episode you will hear:  Rev breaks down her thoughts on ego and how family dynamics impact the development of them. She digs into how you can overcome ego and live a better life.  Tiff unpacks her favorite quote from Oprah's episode from Eckhart Tolle “Ego, says Oprah, makes judgments and longs to feel special. It loves conflict, creates enemies, and operates out of fear.” Di speaks on her favorite Dr. Wayne Dyer quote of the episode referring to The 6 Components of Ego: 1. I am what I have. 2. I am what I do. 3. I am what other people think of me. 4. I am separate from everybody else. 5. I am separate from all that is missing in my life. 6. I am separate from God. We get serious and we laugh in this episode and we love getting your feedback. We've got an interesting Let's Unpack session where we talk about a sister who is a bully because of her ego and who is to blame in the family dynamic.  Don't miss out! We love hearing from you.
