121: The Power of Choice: Victim Mentality vs Active Participation in Life

Krystal Jakosky — Wed, 02 Aug 2023 13:33:00 +0000

Welcome to another episode of Breathe In, Breathe Out. In today's episode, we delve into the empowering concept of choice and how it plays a pivotal role in our lives, whether we acknowledge it or not. We dive deep into understanding the dynamics of choice and its implications in shaping our lives. We unravel the cloak of victim mentality and learn how we are indeed the masters of our lives, not mere puppets to circumstance. Life continues to throw choices our way, and how we react to those crossroads defines our very existence. Throughout today's podcast, we explore the concept of active participation in our lives through the consistent choices we make - small or big. We were brought up to believe that the world happens to us, but the truth is, it happens for us, it happens through us because of the choices we make every day. Incorporating the concepts of mindful caregiving, I reflect on my personal experiences and share insights on the empowering aspects of embracing caregiving roles. Caregiving, like any other aspect of life, also involves making mindful choices. We also deeply discuss the crucial aspect of self-care and the beneficial impacts of choosing ourselves over others when necessary because no one else knows our stories, our pasts, and our traumas.

108: Mindful Caregiving: What exactly is a caregiver?

Krystal Jakosky — Wed, 03 May 2023 15:08:18 +0000

After my mom's diagnosis, I found myself diving deep into what caregiving means. Caregiving extends beyond the medical field and is a role many of us take on in various aspects of our lives – as parents, friends, and even as support. Caregiving is about attending to the needs of others who may not be fully independent, and as caregivers, it is crucial that we prioritize self-care to ensure that we are able to give our best selves to those who rely on us.⁠
⁠
Self-Care is essential to being a caregiver and is a conscious and intentional act aimed at taking care of our own needs. When we care for ourselves and fill our cups first, we are better equipped to support and care for others around us. ⁠

Are You Playing Chicken In Your Communication?

Krystal Jakosky — Wed, 01 Mar 2023 04:47:00 +0000

In the game of chicken, two people embark on a head-on collision course. Both participants hope the other will turn to avoid a crash and yet neither knows what's going on in the other's head. Communication surrounding different relationships in your life can help you "write down" the rules of the road.

By getting a clearer picture of your own rules it will be easier to set boundaries while you mesh with someone else's. Instead of playing chicken and hoping they're subscribing to the same set of rules, you're confident and driving down the same country road.

So, are you playing chicken in your relationship communication? Find out in this week's episode of Breathe In, Breathe Out.

"Busy" can have many different meanings, and it does not have to be negative. What is busy for some people is a lifeline for others.

In the age of social media, comparing ourselves to others is more prevalent than ever. We all struggle with self-love and self-worth.

What You Focus On Grows

Krystal Jakosky — Wed, 30 Nov 2022 07:39:00 +0000

What you focus on grows. If you focus on your pain, it seems to become more. Intense. All-encompassing. Overwhelming. If you focus on joy…it grows. Increasing and spreading. Affecting those around you and multiplying to bring more joy. If you focus on what you don’t have, the wall before you builds until it’s a prison holding you back.

If you focus on your growth and healing…more opportunities are attracted and you find the possibilities are endless. You learn more, find more compassion and understanding, and you heal things from the past you didn’t even know were restraining you from your ultimate joy and potential.

I Don't Drink Anymore. Here's Why.

Krystal Jakosky — Wed, 15 Jun 2022 07:18:00 +0000

I’ve heard alcohol is a depressant. I didn’t think I was having enough to truly have that kind of effect. Yet I was and it did. I grew up being told it was “wrong.” It was one of those “because I said so” rules that are so very frustrating. Now, instead of a rule, it’s a choice.

Have you ever bucked against a rule only to discover you’re happy to embrace it? I have - and in this week's episode of Breathe In, Breathe Out, I share my experience of giving up alcohol and how my community has responded.

Demystifying the Art of Tarot with Emily McGill

Krystal Jakosky — Wed, 18 May 2022 07:26:00 +0000

Like meditation, there are many misconceptions surrounding the art of tarot. Old wives tales, superstitions, and stereotypes distract us from the fact that it’s a beautiful tool we can use on our path towards personal growth and self-care.

Emily McGill is a spiritual seeker, tarot reader, storytelling strategist, and a deep believer in the power of community. After nearly a decade and a half working in entertainment in New York City as a Broadway and entertainment publicist and communications consultant, her path of self-exploration led to healing and evolution - and reading tarot cards professionally. Invited to read tarot for virtual Burning Man 2021 and Brooklyn's dry speakeasy Club Curious, Emily has also been featured by The Tamron Hall Show, the NY Post, and Thrive Global. She writes Playbill’s Broadway Horoscopes, and currently in development is her own deck, The Broadway Tarot.

In the process of creating and expanding this business, I’ve had the chance to really fine tune my message and hone in on my strengths and experiences as a teacher.

In this week's episode of Breathe In, Breathe Out, I’m welcoming vulnerability with open arms. These are the five fundamental truths I've come to know about myself.
