Today we talk about how suppressing an emotion like deprivation can lead you to sabotage in "healthy" ways. A little too much peanut butter, a few too many (handfuls) of raw almonds, sneaking extra bites while cooking or cleaning up after meals....can all add up to those last few pounds we're trying so hard to lose.
I share how to make these seemingly little adjustments to get new results - not by resisting or distracting - but by shifting your perspective.

﻿Welcome to Season 2!
After doing season one, I realized there were some big topics I wanted to go into deeper detail and perfectionism was one of those topics.
How you know this season is for you:
• You have a tough inner critic & are ridiculously hard on yourself
• You can’t remember the last time you had a glorious failure – the kind where you give something your all but fail in an epic blaze of glory
• You don’t dream big anymore
• You self-sabotage
• You never ask for help (you’d rather die trying)
• You often feel resentful of others for asking so much
• You’re “all-or-nothing” (and maybe proud of it)
Join me with an open, curious mind in dissecting these themes and make space for perspective shifts.

Sneak Peak into Season 2 - Making Space

Listen to the full podcast season here: https://www.jenpillipow.com/making-space-private-podcast
Making Space was born out of the idea that our authenticity is "protected" under layers of social conditioning, traumas, and fears.
The goal in my work is to help elevate and empower through increasing self-knowledge, self-trust, self-awareness, self-compassion, basically all the "selves".
Because ... ugh I'm sorry to repeat the overused obvious, but you are the one that will heal you. AND - the "how" and "when" are out of your control. 
I know this feels like terrible news.
It's scary to surrender. To not control.
But here's the thing: healing is not linear, it takes its own path and time.
I don't believe anyone is "blocked", broken, or needs "fixing".
But we like to believe that because it appeals to the victim in us that feels out of control.
By making space between the conditioning, trauma, fears, and our authentic selves, we can create a healed response (vs. knee jerk reactions that don't serve) and live in alignment.
Where it's easier to surrender to the process AND feel empowered.
From here we can really start to build an authentic, aligned life - safely.
What Making Space is all about: 
clearing out old beliefs, old patterns, old thoughtsmaking space for more energy, vitality, connection, and empowerment
 As with all my work (and well, most everything), please listen with consideration of context, nuance, and discernment.

My friends!! It's time to offer farewell to the Podcast Brain Boss. If you've been with me over the last 3 seasons - thank you - but you also know the impetus for the Podcast was to share mindset tools on weight loss.
Wow, have we evolved since then!!
I've learned so much from my own journey and from my clients. And what we all have in common is this desire to live a more aligned, authentic life. But it's not as easy as 1-2-3 even though it’s so much harder to survive when you’re trying to be someone else.
This is the basis for the new podcast coming in the next couple of weeks - more on that in the episode!

Final Episode For Brain Boss

It's the final episode of the season!
Thank you for sticking with me this season on self-awareness.
It's so simple, but not easy. It's simple and powerful. It's brave and courageous to practice.
If you've been doing the work (took the quiz, and really practiced), you have more self-awareness now than you did 8 weeks ago.
You also have started to create ripple effects around you. Without knowing it, you're inspiring others to challenge old beliefs and patterns and try something new.
Well done!
~ If you feel called to take this work deeper into the subconscious, I still have a couple of 1:1 spots available in March. 
Examples of what people work on: perfectionism, people pleasing, emotional eating, and confidence.
