This episode is a confession, an homage to honesty, a bid of vulnerability on a deeply personal shift happening in my life that I've let through a couple of episodes but I haven't unearthed fully because -

Well,

I've been believing lies that have kept me scared and stuck.

Yes, even (ESPECIALLY) Miss.FiguringSh!tOutYapsALotPodcastHost has fear and doubt that chokes her up.

In this episode, I share what it’s like to find yourself standing between two voices:

The voice of fear and the voice of truth.

And how to discern between the two.

We touch on healing, EMDR, perfectionism, somatic work, and these hidden lies that keep us stuck long after we’ve outgrown them.

This is Figuring Sh!t Out - in it's deepest essence.

A real-time reflection on what it looks like to be unraveling the stories you've told yourself about who you are expected to be in order to survive, knowing that life is more than just surviving, and honoring that most of the things that scare the sh!t out of you don't just scare the sh!t out of you because of all that you have to lose -

But also, mostly, more importantly -

because of ALL that you have to gain.

EMDR Episode 

METAMORPHOSIS: a creative nervous-system led sanctuary for women designed to help you move through fear, trust your voice, and express what's inside of you - in COMMUNITY.

Want to learn more about Metamorphosis? All you need to know is here.

and how much of ourselves have we lost deciding that how we are, as we are, is not enough?

how much of our very nature has been stripped away, chipped away, from the gnawing need to be complete?

complete by what measure, by what degree?

by whose decree?

where did we learn that if it wasn’t done perfectly, then it shouldn’t be done at all?

that 0% until we can miraculously have 100% is better than 1% every day?

what freezes within us that causes us to choke at the words we yearn to say and long to express but don’t trust will come out “right” or “perfectly?”

what radical judgements have we internalized?

who told us that we were wrong? why did we believe them?

and why is it now, ourselves, who tell us we are wrong every day we begin something and learn we are bad at first, commit to something then let our second thoughts become our first, pine for freedom yet cut our tongue from speaking the words that free us? 

-

in this episode, we get real about the lie that is: "when i'm ready," and how it's really just code for: "when i'm willing to face the fear on the other side of pursuing something very real and very deep and very important to me,"

and i share with you how i'm navigating the exact same thing.

"If no one sees your art, it is still revolution. You freed yourself, did you not?" - Jayla John 

In this episode, we talk about how creativity could heal you - if you just let it. 

And how to let it.

My darling, I have news for you. 

You are here to feel safe enough, trusting enough - to pause, land, and unravel your very existence at the feet of something loving.

And if you are, (like too many of us are) living a frantic, disordered life, one that feels like you’re chasing a plot that never comes -

If you are clogging your heart with unwarranted worries -

If you are unknowingly caught in the hamster wheel of more, more, more -

Stop right there.

Have you noticed lately:

The sky? The tulips? The daffodils? The wind?

Have you listened to Figuring Sh!t Out on a good ol' day while strolling softly?

Let these things ground you down and bring you back.

I love you.

I LOVE YOU!!

This episode is your reminder that there is a future version of you who is thanking you deeply for doing it scared.

This episode is proof that the first step is always the courage to admit.

This episode is proof that you WILL figure it out, even if you have no f*cking clue how.

How do I know?

Three years ago, I started this show in my bedroom while working full time in Corporate America.

Two years ago, the night before I ran my first marathon, I recorded this episode - breaking through a shaky voice to utter the words, "I want to do this full time."

One year ago, I was 6 months out of quitting my job to Figure Sh!t Out full time.

And today, I can confidently say that I know that I am where I'm meant to be. And that Figuring Sh!t Out along the way is part of the damn process.

I did it scared. I am DOING it scared.

And this episode is a sign that You can too.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.
