018 - Sarah Pribis: A Journey of Acting, Fitness, and Embracing Sobriety

May 31st, 2024 marks the two-year anniversary of my Spontaneous Subarachnoid Hemorrhage.  I wanted to reflect on that day and my experience suffering a Near Death Experience or NDE. I get candid about my mental health at this current moment and offer a challenge for the listeners to reach out to someone they haven't spoken to in a while and check in on their mental state.  Life is too short and everyone is going something. Reaching out to a friend can really have a lasting effect on them.

On today’s episode, I open up about my recent experience with a depressive fog and how I was able to overcome it by shifting from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset.  I share the challenges I faced, both personally and professionally, and the strategies I used to improve my mental well-being. Key takeaways from this episode: 1️⃣ Self-care checklist: Taking care of our sleep, nutrition, exercise, and self-talk is vital for maintaining a positive mindset and mental health. 2️⃣ The power of expression: Sometimes, we just need to let it all out and express our emotions to someone we trust. It can be a transformative experience that lifts the weight off our shoulders. 3️⃣ Embracing abundance: By shifting our mindset from scarcity to abundance, we open ourselves up to new opportunities, ideas, and connections. The universe has so much to offer if we believe in it. If you're going through a tough time or feeling stuck in a negative mindset, I want to remind you that there is abundance on the other side of what you're experiencing. Stick with it, keep taking care of yourself, and believe in the power of positive thinking.
