This week's episode is inspired and informed by ideas in the book Existential Kink by Carolyn Lovewell (nee' Elliot).

If you identity as a hard-working, goal-oriented, Type A person, you probably have a hardship kink.

You believe in the power of hard work and discipline.

You probably feel your best when you're slaying your to do list and crushing your goals.

And... you might glorify hardship and challenge to such a severe degree that it's creating unnecessary drama and leading to burnout and disengagement.

This pattern can often play out unconsciously.

However, when you make the unconscious conscious, you take back your power.

In today's episode, Kayla is breaking down:

• How to know if you have a hardship kink.
• The sneaky ways this hardship kink stops you from slaying and thriving... especially when it remains in the realm of your unconscious.
• 5 ways to integrate this shadow so you can call in more ease and joy.
