This one’s different. Hit play—you’ll see.
I think this is my favorite episode to date y'all. I literally grabbed my dictionary a few times because—spoiler—I needed to get clear on what words like “selfish” and “perfection” actually mean. (And trust me, the definitions will surprise you.) Here's what I'm jamming out about:
- The difference between your self and your ego—because you are NOT the loudest voice in your head.
- The power of self-reflection and introspection in understanding your thoughts and emotions.
- How societal and family conditioning shapes our beliefs—and how to unlearn the stuff that doesn’t serve us.
- Reparenting yourself, parenting differently, and showing up with more mindfulness and compassion.
- Ditching perfectionism. (Don’t worry, I define that too. and you will be REALLY surprised by it's definition )
- Checking in with my energy every day and adjusting my plans without feeling guilty—and why you should try it too.
I also talk about the importance of finding—or creating—safe spaces for healing and growth. Whether that’s through personal reflection or connecting with a supportive community, it’s all about surrounding yourself with what helps you thrive.
Speaking of community… If you’re ready to get off the sidelines, join The Soundboard—my virtual space for real talk, connection, and support. And don’t miss our first-ever in-person LIVE podcast and community event, sponsored by MMoonchild Scented Creations.
