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.
