What contrary action to slow down will you take in the midst of this harried holiday season?

What if there were a single key to all the guidance you could ever need?

Sounds too good to be true, right?

But, it's not.

Because there's really only one way to get the answers we seek, and that's from within.

From our intuition

We talk a lot about the need to turn down the external noise in order to hear our inner voice, and today's guest is an expert in that very process.

Join us as we welcome Emma Bronaugh, Certified Quantum Life Coach and intuition master.

Emma is all about self-acceptance, forgiveness, and boundaries — um, yes please! — and helping the exhausted and anxious yet intrinsically motivated among us seek lasting fulfillment.

Pop in your earbuds and get ready for intuitive alignment!

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT IN THIS EPISODE…

• How Emma learned to harness the power of intuition at a young age

• Emma's single best strategy for avoiding the "shoulds"

• Shifting your default setting from external to internal guidance

• Disrupting the old perfectionist narratives that are holding you back

• The truth behind an "intuition backfire" (Hint: It's not a backfire.)

What makes something worth doing?

Practicality?

Productivity?

Seriousness?

The ability to be checked off the to-do list of life?

⬆️ Those sound like perfectionist answers to me.

What about these reasons…

Rest?

Relaxation?

Recreation?

Because it freaking feels good??

As it turns out, play is an essential part of life for which so many of us perfectionists don't make enough room in our days.

When we listen to the wise words of Brene Brown, we learn that the opposite of play isn't work and productivity, it's depression — and none of us deserves that.

So, pop in your earbuds, crank up the volume, and get ready to bring play back into your life in a big way, starting now.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT IN THIS EPISODE…

• How we define play

• When we stopped playing

• What tends to get in the way of play

• Our favorite ways to play these days

• The last time we truly played full out and had fun

There's nothing quite like the power of being understood and validated by a group of like-minded souls.

Oftentimes, healing in community can be so much more powerful than healing in isolation.

One of our primary goals for the Eff Perfect fam is to create a space in which we can see and be seen, listen and be heard, and allow another's healing to facilitate our own.

On the podcast today, we're exploring the unique ability of groups to supercharge our growth as individuals.
