Key Points from this Episode:

• Move and Don't Die in the Fire, that is, coming up with decisions and putting into action things that must be done to reduce anxiety and depression.
• Anxiety is a Man-Made Condition; it isn't natural but considered to be man-made, and that this is adapted by people from their environment.
• Get Off of Social Media is one of the five key points if one wants to reduce anxiety, including its negative impact on mental health. 
• Stop pouring and fill your cup, emphasizing the need to take care of oneself first and fill your own cup before thinking of others.

• Changing your number is a good way to disconnect from people who are using and draining one's energy.  

• The Importance of Meditation, ways on how to do it, and the benefits it can bring to your life, like happiness, joy, and peace. Guided Meditation, in particular, helps one's mind, removes negative energy and reduces anxiety.

• Letting Go of Negative Habits, including its patterns, can prevent high-achieving women from accessing their full potential and eventually can lead to success. 

• The presence of supportive people is essential because they are genuinely supportive of you rather than just interested in what you can do for them.

Tweetables by Christy Rutherford: 

"I'm frustrated from listening to women talk about ending up in the hospital having blood transfusions being in the hospital ICU for two weeks because they were unwilling to do anything about what they have been complaining about for years. This is a life and death situation."

"Get off social media and save your own mental health first. Because you're looking at everybody, you're comparing yourself to other people, and you're not being who you are."

 "You're not in alignment with who you are, the great woman that you are, and you're pretending to be somebody else so you can be liked."

"Depression is when you relive your past more than you focus on where you're going in your future."

"Those same people cared about me; a hundred people cared about what I could do for them. They didn't look for me past outside of what I could no longer serve them in. So are y'all only giving away your gifts and what you can do for other people, and you leave nothing for yourself?"
