  • 157. Do You Have A Hardship Kink? This Shadow Work Will 10x Your Level Of Ease & Joy

    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.

    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.

    Some of the biggest goals we have in life can't be completed in a week or a month or sometimes, even over the course of one year.

    Many of the greatest goals we can set can take multiple years or even decades.

    As with running the final four or five miles of a marathon, you can start to hit a wall.

    You're feeling gassed out.

    It can be enough to make you consider abandoning the goal altogether.

    If you're experiencing this, then today's episode is the perfect resource.
