Aligned Inside

If we measure our value by our ability to help and serve others, we often forget to factor our own humanity into the equation—and this can come at a high cost to our  authenticity. In this episode I share a recording of a live talk I led about stepping out of the roles we think we're supposed to play in our relationships, examining our codependent tendencies, and bringing more authenticity to the table in our connections so we can be seen for who we truly are.

Do you tend to put other people's needs above your own? Is it hard for you to acknowledge and ask for what you need, let alone receive it? In this episode I explore why so many of us glorify self-sufficiency and needlessness, and what I find problematic about this mentality. I share about an experience in which I learned firsthand the importance of asking for my needs. I also share the most common core belief that keeps us from acting on what we need, and I offer some ideas about how to break the trance of self-sufficiency and start identifying, embracing, and asking for what we need.

What makes our inner critic get loud, and how do we get it to quiet down? In this episode I share a personal story to illustrate one of the classic tactics our inner critic uses to make us wrong for our pain, and how we can shift toward more self-compassionate energy. I also share one of my favorite ways to deactivate the inner critic and get to the heart of the matter.

Why do so many inner obstacles come up when we start seeking greater alignment? Why do we tend to subconsciously fear our most heartfelt desires, and/or feel unworthy of receiving them? In this episode I touch on three main fears that often arise when we start to move toward more inner alignment, and I share some compassionate and effective ways to work through them.
