This is a good reminder to have conversations around grief and death anniversaries. Some people don’t acknowledge them at all and others find them especially hard; some might even wish to “celebrate” them or honor their loved one on that day. Personally, I’ve always taken “note” of this time of year and it is definitely something that I don’t disregard or ignore.  That being said, each year has honestly...]]></description><link>https://www.feathersjourney.com/post/the-struggle-with-and-tips-for-death-day-death-anniversaries</link><guid isPermaLink="false">697664406e1e6fddb816e304</guid><pubDate>Wed, 05 Apr 2023 17:44:05 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/4045a1_d02150b9126d4991b5107dbd5494aed7~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_784,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>feathersjourneycoa</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Setting Boundaries and Sticking to Them]]></title><description><![CDATA[Boundaries… a somewhat new concept that supports our mental health and mental well-being. I was recently given the idea to talk about boundaries, the importance of them and the ‘how to’ of sticking to them. Just setting boundaries is not enough; It’s imperative to understand the why and the value it brings into your life. As well, it is key that you decide what works and does not work for you personally. No one else is able to tell you how and what your boundaries should or should not be....]]></description><link>https://www.feathersjourney.com/post/setting-boundaries-and-sticking-to-them</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69766561e611fcb487933ae3</guid><pubDate>Fri, 10 Mar 2023 18:50:31 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/4045a1_a79255eafa034602a02ddaa9ba662889~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_682,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>feathersjourneycoa</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[How to Deal with Constant /Consistent Criticisms PART 4b]]></title><description><![CDATA[If you’ve read through Part 4a and you’re looking for more information, this last section is for you!

If you find that it doesn’t apply, maybe you have a loved one who might benefit from the read. Never hesitate to share and spread powerful information which might help someone you care about or love.

The area in which, I believe, is the most difficult for us as human beings to emotionally digest and be at peace with. The kind that comes from our inner circle or loved ones. Imagine the same scenario we played out in Part 2, you walk into your home after a long, 10-hour day at your new job. Remember your partner’s demeanor from the previous example.

Before we jump into the heftier of areas of this topic and the hardest type to face, ask yourself if the first 2 parts have applied to the actual situation you’re in. Perhaps this is not the type of criticism and put downs you are currently facing.

In this situation, are there other emotions at play that may be contributing to your perception of a put down? Are there factors at play that could be contributing to the person using harsh or critical sounding language? It may seem odd to take a beat to evaluate a situation when you feel put down...]]></description><link>https://www.feathersjourney.com/post/how-to-deal-with-constant-consistent-criticisms-part-2</link><guid isPermaLink="false">697670f5d87a588901602a0f</guid><pubDate>Sun, 19 Feb 2023 19:38:04 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBCJJ0p2aEA" length="0" type="video"/><dc:creator>feathersjourneycoa</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[How to Deal with Constant /Consistent Criticisms PART 1]]></title><description><![CDATA[I received a request to talk about “How to Deal with Consistent Criticism and Put Downs”. This topic is certainly one with which it is important to handle with care. There are so many subtleties to the magnitude of what this really could mean for each individual person. Without context, it is possible to trigger someone or push them closer to their trauma with generalities or non-specific information. I, in no way, would ever want that to be the case for anyone; but I am also hesitant to hold...]]></description><link>https://www.feathersjourney.com/post/how-to-deal-with-constant-consistent-criticisms-part-1</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69766a9c6e1e6fddb816efdc</guid><pubDate>Wed, 08 Feb 2023 19:11:51 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/4045a1_6de743c16ef2462284fffa7252b37be4~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_737,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>feathersjourneycoa</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Introductory Note to Readers]]></title><description><![CDATA[Welcome to the Feather’s Journey blog by Julia, your professional (and soon to be certified) Grief, Step Parent and Mindset coach.
