Welcome to another episode of the Healing and Dealing Podcast. This episode is going to be exciting because my mentor, Erin Porter, is joining me today and she will talk about how she helps women  scale through trauma informed business practices, internal healing and understanding the energetics of business. She talks about childhood trauma and people-pleasing habits and how it impacts your well-being. She also talks about childhood attachment experiences and their impact on current relationships and the importance of pacing in your healing journey. She shares the value of regulating the nervous system and embracing discomfort to navigate life's challenges. She will also discuss the protector parts and its role in our well-being. The discussion also highlights the role of self-compassion, curiosity, and celebration in the healing journey, as well as the importance of doing your own inner work before helping others as a coach or guide.

 

“I think everybody wants to leave their source of income like really quick and like go you know, quote, unquote, go all in and like, utilize the funds that you have coming in from a full time job or a part time job to like invest back into your business to know that your nervous system safe versus like growing yourself in this fight or flight. Because then I think what happens is if things don't happen, or you know, things turn or it's not going as fast, then you get resentful, then you get frustrated, then you get overwhelmed. And it's like give yourself and your nervous system like this space that you need in order to be able to work through it. So I say like, that was a big thing to where I let myself be okay with it versus again, thinking that oh, that means I'm not you know, good enough, or that means I'm not doing or I'm not going to be successful and all that.”- Andrea Shipley

Here are the key topics discussed in this episode:

• People-pleasing habits to avoid discomfort and conflict that led to health issues and emotional struggles.

• The impact of anxious attachment style to your relationships and  recognizing the importance of pacing in your healing journey.

• Attachment therapy helps establish boundaries and understand your worth beyond achievement.

• The role of protector parts, which are defense mechanisms developed in childhood to cope with challenging situations. These parts have both gifts and distortions and need reassurance and validation to integrate effectively.

• Navigating Uncomfortable Moments by regulating the nervous system and learning to be comfortable with discomfort. 

• Learning to navigate social situations without relying on coping mechanisms like alcohol. Curiosity, celebration of achievements, and self-compassion play crucial roles in this process.

• The significance of coaches doing their own inner work. Personal growth and self-awareness are foundational for coaches to guide others effectively.
