Episode 47: Talking All About Therapy & How it’s Changed My Life for the Better

For years, I was reluctant about going to therapy and seeing a therapist consistently. That all ended this past year when I decided that I was finally ready to work more on my mental health and pursue professional guidance. I discuss how I truly believe that the practice of therapy has gone from taboo to encouraged and supported in only a couple of decades.


In this episode, I get extra personal about my therapy journey — what finally led me to start, how I feel after a session, why it’s not always comfortable, and how it’s been one of the most transformational and positive experiences for me. From setting boundaries and breaking people-pleasing habits to unpacking family dynamics and recognizing unhelpful patterns, therapy has given me countless tools for my present and future life.

Gotta love a DIY project! I had some matchbooks sa Gotta love a DIY project! I had some matchbooks saved, and then we were also gifted some vintage ones! For a first-time project, I think they turned out pretty well! 👏🏻 

Collect your matchbooks and get all the craft materials here: https://www.amazon.com/shop/thebetslife/list/2F6IQ1Q2X7X35?ref_=aipsflist 🛒 

- Mod Podge your matchbooks and matchsticks. You can use a small paint brush or a sponge brush. I found that I had some discoloration on the white/lighter boxes, so maybe do a couple of coats on those to be safe? Or maybe go for darker colors? I did one coat of Mod Podge on everything. I let everything dry out for a day (although, I don’t think you would have to wait this long).

-  Follow the instructions on the box of the epoxy resin. Wear gloves and mix equal parts, stirring together for a few minutes. I mixed in plastic red cups that I later disposed of. Fill the coaster mold cups halfway with the mixture. 

- I waited 1 hour until the mixture was a bit tacky and then I added the matchbooks. The matchsticks/books may move around a bit, and you can always use tweezers to reposition.

- I waited 5 hours and then filled the rest of the molds up to the top with more epoxy resin. Leave molds for 24 hours and then remove. The coasters should pop out easily! 

What do you think of these? Let me know how your coasters turn out too! Share this video with your DIY/crafty friends. 🥰
