Episode 53: Just Make a Plan
The emotion distracts you from moving forward. It keeps you in the loop and makes you think you can't do what you want to do. What if that isn't true? What if the emotion is just part of the lie you're telling yourself that says you can't move forward?
Episode 52: Validation and Acceptance
erceptions of us. The truth is those perceptions are always filtered through a level of pain. When people tell you what you should or shouldn't be doing, it's because they feel some level of pain or they are triggered by your actions or words.
My Trip Down Memory Lane
The transition point comes when you no longer care about solving the problems. Effectively the problems stop mattering. You're no longer in fear. You're happy in your work and you're comfortable with what you're doing. You're out of your head and you've dealt with the majority of the crazy ideas that use d to stop you.
Episode 51: Revisiting My Powerlessness
In this episode, I talk about how I had stopped myself once again because I was afraid of what other people would think. The last few weeks have been pretty quiet as I backed off, stopped writing, and really only kept up the podcast. I didn't really know what was up until it hit me in the middle of the night last night. But now that I get it, I can come and talk about it and move on from it. Join me today as I talk myself through this powerlessness thing and what happens next!
Episode 50: Showing Up in Your Work
Showing up when you're in business for yourself can be hard, especially at first when you don't have an audience and you feel like you're talking to yourself. It's important to remember that people are watching you even if they aren't interacting with you. You have an audience you may not be aware of.
Episode 49: A Case of the Blah
This podcast episode is coming out a little later than usual because I'm in a funk and I didn't have anything to talk about. But guess what? I just rambled for almost 30 minutes anyway about what was happening.
Becoming Aware of How I Feel
'm on a constant mission to find truth in what's happening. Doing that means I can't defend the old story and I have to be able to look around me and notice that things have changed dramatically. I see patterns, habits, and ways of being that don't work anymore. I allow myself to understand where they came from and why they are there without defending them.
Episode 48: Who Needs Feelings?
In this episode, I share the back story behind my shutting down of my own emotions and how that's shown up in my life, and what that means for me now, as I move forward in my own journey. It's a fascinating, emotional tale of my childhood and the souvenirs I picked up from my experiences back then.
I’m Onto The Next Thing!
Opening up and beginning to talk about my life in blogs and podcasts was part of that journey. Some things I was hiding, but most things I just didn't see value in talking about, so I didn't say anything. I didn't bring up my own experiences even when they related to what others were talking about. I hid other things because of shame. I avoided a whole bunch more because it felt overwhelming to me. I didn't have the skills or confidence to process it.
