Ever wonder why you repeat the same patterns & habits over and over again?
Ever wonder why you show up as the "you" you have always identified as?
Ever wonder why you can't stick to the goals you've set only to restart over and over again?
In this episode, Corissa introduces habits & identity, and how they highly influence one another. You will find that who you say you are & how you show up in life is all a reflection of your conditioned habits. You will learn that you can choose to do and be anything with more understanding and consciousness of the identity and habits you've hung on to. Corissa also dives into goal setting, and how to actually enjoy the process & find success, rather than beat yourself up for failing. So... press play & get ready for some valuable nuggets today!

In this episode, Corissa dives into the paralyzing perfectionism that has challenged her since being a young girl. She gets vulnerable and shares her experiences with shame and the unnecessary guilt that held her prisoner within her mind for most of her life. From traumatic childhood experiences to a normal Sunday afternoon, social conditioning and her past often caused her to feel bad and wrong for "normal" things like food, her body, her personality, school, relationships, sex, etc. Corissa shares how she has overcome and found breakthroughs in the need to be perfect, and how she has surrendered her feelings of shame and guilt for simply LIVING her life. Through digging deep, doing the personal work, and letting go of the past, she has found freedom & can finally give herself PERMISSION 2 PLAY.

You will find that when we practice awareness, learn to remove our fears & silence our inner "Betty", we can do absolutely ANYTHING. You CAN be BOLD, you CAN show up POWERFULLY, and you CAN totally give yourself complete PERMISSION 2 PLAY in life.

#PERMISSION2PLAY

Piggybacking off of Episode 2, Corissa dives a little deeper into the mind. With ~60,000 thoughts each day & 95% of them being subconscious thoughts from the past, she introduces the Ego and Inner Child parts of our minds. Our Ego and Inner Child shape the personalities we create as children & stories we tell ourselves over and over to survive in life. Corissa gets vulnerable & shares the stories she's told herself since she was a young girl. 

Unmet needs from Corissa’s Inner child causes her Ego to attach to thoughts like, “I’m not good enough.” “I’m not pretty enough.” “If they don’t see me... If they don’t hear me... I won’t be loved.” “I need to win.” “I need to achieve.” “I must be the best.” “I need to be funny.” “I have to be pretty.” “If I don’t have and be all of these things, I am not good enough. I won’t be loved.” ALL STORIES. ALL UNTRUE. ALL SUBCONSCIOUS.

Learning this creates power. 

When we can practice and learn to separate ourselves from our subconscious mind and Ego, we can begin to feel & fully step into our power, our freedom & discover TRUE self-confidence.

18:00 - Change is uncomfortable. Your subconscious mind HATES change, AND all the stories it tells you aren’t true. You are NOT your thoughts.

20:00 Thinking ~60,000 thoughts each day is NORMAL. Having an often fear-based, storytelling mind is NORMAL. Have compassion for yourself as you work through & begin practicing awareness. Separate yourself from your thoughts. Become the observer.

3) Gratitude - get present with the blessings in your life.
