We hear the word resilient all the time — but what does it actually mean? And how is it different from just surviving? In this episode, I break down the real definition of resiliency through both a mental health lens and lived experience. We explore the difference between resilience and survival mode, why so many of us confuse the two, and how being “strong” doesn’t always mean pushing through. I also share personal reflections on pausing, self-trust, and what resilience can look like in everyday life — not just during major hardships. This episode is for anyone who’s felt overwhelmed, stuck in survival mode, or questioning what real strength actually looks like. If you’re feeling called to explore this work more deeply, I offer 1:1 therapy sessions as an LMHC-I. Feel free to reach out for a free consultation call to see if working together feels right.

In this solo episode of Chat with Betty, we’re diving into a question that so many of us quietly ask ourselves: How do I know if what I’m feeling is anxiety… or my intuition trying to guide me? I’m opening up about my own experiences with second-guessing, spiraling thoughts, and the inner tug-of-war between fear and knowing. From big life choices to everyday moments (yes, even what I’m wearing to an event!), I’ve learned that building self-trust is a process — one that takes honesty, patience, and a little mindset magic. Together, we’ll explore how to recognize the difference between anxiety and intuition, how to quiet the noise of self-doubt, and how to tap into your own inner guidance. If you’ve ever felt stuck in indecision or overwhelmed by your thoughts, this one’s for you. Grab a tea, get comfy, and let’s talk about coming home to yourself. 💛 xx Betty

.#43 Season 2 - Episode 18: On Today's Episode we are joined by Nissim Black The former drug dealer tells of his journey from a tough Seattle neighborhood to an ultra-orthodox family life in Jerusalem Nissim Black has been a gangsta rapper, a gang member, and a faith seeker. But it is his current incarnation that is here to stay: an African American Hasidic Jew who brings sharp beats and hooked-filled rhymes to the masses. The first single of 2020, “Mothaland Bounce” is a confluence of everything he’s ever done, and everywhere he’s ever been. The vibe is old school, but the song is thoroughly fresh, pairing big beats with an African hook and a catchy chorus for a video that has already garnered 4.5 million views on YouTube The new tunes feature Black’s melodic singing mixed with silky smooth beats and his nimble verbal sparring; Black’s music has always leaned heavily on melody, but he had to wait for hip hop to catch up. After a long discovery process, both musically and personally, Black has finally found his true identity. “All of those journeys—being in a gang, being on the football team was a part of me trying to say, ‘I belong to something greater than myself, I know where, but I belong somewhere,'” he says. "It's almost like trying to find that home." Chat with Betty The Podcast: It's fun, raw, inspiring, and self growth focused - join in on the chats today!

After uncovering the prevalence of toxic ingredients in the spa industry – and how they might have contributed to her own infertility – Jeannie began her quest to make healthy beauty the rule rather than the exception. The complexity of navigating cosmetic ingredients only fueled her passion to make it simple to discover safe, effective and luxurious skincare. Today, as the founder of Beauty Heroes, Jeannie brings a lifetime of beauty, wellness and ritual to her company and her customers, delivering healthy beauty through the thrill of Discovery. By working only with brands who have an unwavering commitment to ethical sourcing, purity and quality, she has become the industry standard bearer on ingredient integrity, establishing her company as the most trusted source for healthy beauty.

Feeling called to have a deeper conversation about beauty and wellness for people and the planet, Jeannie pioneered Project Blue Beauty, a platform to connect conscious consumers  with beauty brands that are going from ‘green’ to ‘blue’, shining a spotlight on brands that are not just minimizing their environmental footprint, but actually leaving the planet better than they found it.

This collaboration was the inspiration behind Beauty Heroes’ first lifestyle products – glass straws and eco-luxurious utensil sets, available in the Beauty Store.
