Welcome to today’s episode! Jackie and Elizabeth kick off this episode with a real talk about something we all deal with—those moments when old memories or negative thoughts creep in out of nowhere. You know that inner voice, the one they’ve nicknamed “Ed”—short for Energy Drainer? Yeah, it’s a thing, and they’re breaking down in a fun, relatable, and eye-opening way.

They dive into why our brains are wired to focus on the negative—just biology!—and how that can show up in our relationships, self-esteem, and even how we view our accomplishments. But don’t worry, Jackie and Elizabeth are here with practical tips, like their thought-stopping technique. Imagine saying to yourself, “Hey, Ed, chill out!” and swapping that negativity for something affirming, like “I’m a good human being.”

The hosts also take on the comparison trap—that habit of sizing ourselves up against others. It’s so human, but Jackie and Elizabeth share how to sidestep it and focus on your journey instead. Because, as they love to remind listeners, the only person you need to prove anything to is yourself.

Jackie and Elizabeth are here to help you reframe those draining thoughts, build self-kindness, and show up as your best self. It’s the kind of conversation that feels like a coffee chat with your best friends—don’t miss it!
