AwakenHer with Corissa Stepp

Are you tired of feeling drained and unappreciated in your relationships? Imagine what life would be like if you could confidently establish boundaries that work for you. Today's episode is a lifeline, a deep dive into the transformative power of boundary setting, and a brief testament to the healing that takes place when women gather in a nurturing environment. I share personal insights from my coaching practice and a look into my exciting Empowered Boundaries Bootcamp.

Have you ever wondered about the unspoken losses we endure throughout our lives? It's time to lift the curtain on these subtle yet significant instances of grief that color our experiences. Join me and my friend, Aypril Porter, as we traverse through the maze of living losses that are often left untended - be it a relationship's end, stepping into retirement, or shifting to new roles.

Aypril brings to the table her profound insights on the necessity of conscious grieving. She illuminates our minds on how each individual’s grief journey is a private dance, unique and uninfluenced by societal benchmarks. Have you ever caught yourself rebounding into a new relationship after an unpleasant one? Tune in as Aypril and I delve deep into the repercussions of such connections and the compounded grief that may follow. We also spotlight the unspoken secondary losses that we endure and their impact on our lives.

In the closing segment of our enlightening exchange, we share some soothing strategies to assist those around us bearing the weight of a living loss. Aypril enlightens us on the powerful role of EFT tapping in grief therapy. We also reflect on the healing power of unity in grief and express the importance of seeking gratitude in loss. We wrap up by focusing on granting ourselves the freedom to mourn the loss of relationships, regardless of the reasons for their dissolution. So don't miss out on this heartfelt episode, and remember to share and review if it resonates with you.

What if your relationships could be less about conflict and more about meaningful connection? That’s the tantalizing prospect we explore with my guest, the insightful Chelsea Liaga – a former teacher, now couples therapist, and content creator. Chelsea takes us on a deep dive into the world of relationships, introducing us to three primary conflict styles and how these styles are often manifestations of our own insecurities and self-doubts.

Together, Chelsea and I untangle the complex web of communication and conflict resolution strategies that can make or break relationships. From the power of "I" statements to the significance of awareness and vulnerability, we shed light on techniques that foster understanding and empathy. We also delve into how attachment styles and trauma can influence these conflict styles and why it's essential to create an environment of emotional safety for meaningful connections.

In the final part of our discussion, we explore how our childhood experiences shape our adult conflict styles and how we can use inner child work and self-compassion to break these patterns. We also cast a discerning eye on toxic or dead-end relationships, identifying red flags and stressing the importance of feeling safe and connected. This episode is not just about understanding your conflict style but also about how you can leverage this understanding to build stronger, happier relationships. Don't miss this illuminating conversation with Chelsea Liaga!

In this BONUS episode, I share the big ah-ha moment I had where my people pleasing tendencies showed up and how it caught me by surprise.  My people-pleaser part had been holding me back from sharing my story and experiences with unhealthy people in my life due to an interesting paradox.  Well, things are about to shift!  The conversation continues from there and we dive DEEP into: 

• Understanding the subtle ways people please can show up and how to disrupt the pattern and tendency to lean into maladaptive behavioral patterns
• Subconscious coping mechanisms and how the need for safety and protection influences behavior in relationships
• Overcoming fear and speaking your truth
• How boundaries can help you avoid feeling resentment
• Discerning who should be in your inner circle and who needs to be safely placed in your outer circle
• Why boundaries are necessary in unhealthy relationships to keep you safe
• Understanding the significance and challenges in setting boundaries with unsafe people
• Techniques to safely place unhealthy people in your life in the outer circle and how to reclaim your power back

At the end, I also introduce my Empowered Boundaries Bootcamp, a five-week program designed to equip you with the tools required to set clear, healthy boundaries. This bootcamp is fortified with exercises and worksheets, and, for an additional fee, you can avail of two one-on-one sessions with me for just a smidge more. Together, we'll address any hurdles you're facing and help you to integrate your newfound skills into everyday life. 

Tune in for a jam packed episode that is intended to take you from people-pleasing to self-respecting by placing boundaries in unhealthy relationships so you can feel confident using your authentic voice.

Imagine navigating life's tumultuous times with an inner peace that radiates outward, transforming your relationships and sparking a ripple effect that could contribute to global harmony. This is the stirring exploration we embark on in our latest conversation, beginning with the profound yet often overlooked practice of self-love. We delve into how nurturing ourselves emotionally can become the fertile ground for more meaningful relationships and foster a deeper connection with our own selves. Together, we learn to embrace compassion and kindness, especially in overwhelming times, as a stepping stone towards individual peace and global transformation.

In the second part of our conversation, we venture into the intricate labyrinth of narcissism and codependency, unearthing their roots in the absence of self-love. We question societal norms that often teach us to neglect our own needs and self-care, bringing to light how breaking free from these patterns can empower us. We explore the importance of setting emotional boundaries, rejecting external validation, and fostering self-love. Our journey of self-discovery also delves into the delicate balance between self-love and service to others. Join us as we uncover the strength in vulnerability and the peace in embracing our true selves.

In this week's episode, we delve deep into a topic that resonates with so many of us: the journey towards authenticity in our relationships and conquering the fear of rejection. We explore the origins of this fear, tracing it back to our ancestors' need for survival in communities. But even in today's modern world, the fear of rejection still plays a significant role in how we show up in our relationships.

When we wear a mask and don't show our true selves, we end up feeling misunderstood, unloved, or unseen by those around us. It's a disempowering narrative that we create for ourselves. The question is, how do we break free from this fear of rejection and start cultivating self-acceptance, self-love, and courage so that we can show up authentically in our relationships?

Tune in as we share valuable tools and insights to help you drop the mask and create more meaningful connections.

In this solo episode,  I dive deep into the ONE thing you need to do in order to become more confident and courageous.  And it may surprise you!

That ONE thing is to tackle the nagging voice inside your head that seems to have nothing good to say.  Isn't it time you learned to harness the power of your inner critic and convert it into a tool for self-discovery and transformation instead of letting it undermine your confidence?

In this riveting episode, we dissect the workings of our inner critic, revealing how a deeper understanding of its triggers and narratives can help rewrite limiting beliefs and heal inner child wounds. Affirmations alone won't cut it - be prepared to roll up your sleeves and do the necessary inner work.

Shifting gears, we delve into how this inner critic is tied to the formation of self-sabotaging patterns and habits that can impede your progress toward your goals. It's not all doom and gloom, though. We'll decode the 'why' behind these patterns, providing insights that can kickstart your journey of self-discovery and transformation.

Tune in to equip yourself with the tools to disrupt these habitual patterns, silence the discordant voice inside your head, and step into a more confident and fulfilling life. Let's get started!
