Be You Not Them

Ready for a new solosode?! Today, Natassia shares her own experience with struggling to recognize her own talent and skills for many years. Imposter syndrome is REAL, guys.

Natassia shares a recent experience she had that truly made her realize that she ALWAYS had the skills she needed to succeed... she just didn't recognize it in herself earlier. She also shares some tips on how to grow that trust in your own talent.

Let this episode serve as a reminder to you that you're probably doing a lot better than you actually think. We all can doubt our own talent and skills sometimes, but we have a tendency to be much harder on ourselves than on others!

If you're struggling with feeling like you're not good enough at your job or your skills this week - stop and pause for a second! Celebrate everything you've accomplished so far. Recognize your OWN TALENT.

We hope you enjoyed today's episode! We'd love to hear your thoughts and what YOUR wins are. You know where to reach us :)

SING A PRAISE FOR YOURSELF. Welcome all to another Baklava Session, where we go on rants and unscripted discussions about life, being a woman, self love, and whole bunch of other topics. Today, we're discussing being your own hype woman. This is sometimes so hard for us but why? We can easily do it for others but not for ourselves. TODAY, we are changing that because we need to lift our own spirits and remind ourselves of the queens we are.

We hope you guys enjoyed today's episode. As always, thank you for your support and love. You guys are the best along with Ru Paul's Drag Race (Season 7) which was the source of inspiration for this lovely little sesh.

YOU ARE NOT YOUR PRODUCTIVITY. We have a perfect follow up from our last episode, which was all about about low energy levels. You know what contributes to low energy and burnout??? Not. Taking. A. Break. Our society thrives on being productive 24/7 and the "hustle hard" mentality. However, we're here to remind you that sometimes you absolutely need to be unproductive.

[4:10] Purpose Filled Life Versus Living Out Your Purpose. We talk a little bit about how we NEED to separate our identity from work. A purpose filled life does not equal being productive all the time.

[9:20] What Does it Mean to be Unproductive? So... what do we mean when we say you need unproductive days? There's many things that can fall under it, so we describe some activities that are productive versus unproductive. SPOILER ALERT: Organizing your house and your closet over the weekend is not being unproductive.

[12:30] - The Guilt Around being Unproductive. Natassia shares a passage from "Untamed" by Glennon Doyle about how our root beliefs are what make us feel anger and shame around resting.

• Give yourself permission to rest.
• You are more than just your productivity and your career.
• We need to CHALLENGE the belief systems we have around resting and productivity.

[18:50] The Benefits of Being Unproductive. Now that you guys have heard our side of the story... what are some good things that come out of resting and doing nothing? We share some of the benefits we've seen in our own lives.

• Hitting the reset button. When you can integrate moments of rest throughout your day, you can stop yourself from being overwhelmed [18:55]
• When you shut off, you can have bursts of creativity. [20:40]
• You can give yourself time to heal. Sometimes we are productivity in order to run away from our problems. [24:00]
• Being unproductive is GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH. You need time to relax and destress. [25:55]

[27:30] Closing Out & Some Reminders for You. A reminder that being productive all the time is... stupid. That's all folks. You are not a robot. It takes time to unlearn the negativity you may have associated with rest and NOT being productive.

We hope this episode helped you reflect and realize it's ok to STOP and do absolutely nothing sometimes. Be kinder to yourself, boo. We'd love to hear your thoughts! You know where to find us :)

This episode we dive into all the signs, situations and triggers that cause our energy levels to go out the window and how to reclaim it back.

[15:33] Stand-out experiences. We dive into the one experience that made us realize we had to step back to recoup our energy levels.

[20:00] Takeaways. We talk about some of the best little tips to recoup your energy: - Building the awareness to rest & recover - Identifying triggers, even in situations that ARE not stressful like traveling - Are you paying attention? - Plan out the rest if there is a lot going on - Boundaries & Transparency - Identify a self care routine

We hope this little gem gave you the permission to REST UP and be absolutely ok with that.
