This week we have former client Monica joining us on the pod! She recently completed the 14 week group coaching program and is here today to share more about internalizing the voices of others and how to heal from that. She and Lisa discuss the importance of having a supportive community while doing this work, as well as building an awareness of when you are perpetuating abuse against yourself.

Topics include:

[2:40] Food and its role in early childhood trauma. The role external figures play in creating our inner voice around food when we aren’t old enough to have authority and autonomy. They’re not our thoughts to begin with but we internalize them and believe that they’re our own.

[11:29] Monica’s decades long journey from experiencing an industrial accident that led her to the work of Nicole Sachs and then to Lisa. How awareness around food and emotions is built gradually, Monica’s fears but internal desperate desire to do something different upon beginning the group coaching program.

[19:12] Changing your reality only comes through action - actively making different choices than you have in the past. Unfamiliarity prompts fear in the brain, but only by moving through that fear can we make the change we want. Fear of sharing and being vulnerable in group was an initial concern but became one of the biggest benefits for Monica.

[27:10] Authenticity over attachment, learning to express your truth rather than live your life according to your perception of what other people want or think. The importance of a healing community to help you practice this. The shift that comes when you become aware of your limiting beliefs.

[39:00] Since going through the group program, one of Monica’s biggest life shifts has been living in eating regularly, after learning about atypical anorexia. Prioritizing overall wellness rather than focusing only on how much or how little you eat.

[50:09] Building an awareness of when you are perpetuating abuse against yourself. Taking back the power to set the course for our own lives.
