January 16, 2024 who is actually standing in your way?
mostly for me the biggest detractor from my own success is ME.

my fear. my toxic mindchatter. my self judgement. (it was SO harsh). in fact, all of this (and more!) was in my way.

and even now i’ve worked on so much in my life:

its usually still ‘me’ who i need to up level past in order to get what I want and grow.

this means - theres still more scary things for me to work on to uplevel! (wooo, eeek, yay, noooo - all the feels 🤣)

In todays episode, I talk about my own work on this, my successes, my failure, & what i’m working on.

November 14, 2023 Why don’t I ‘have it together’ (like everyone else does)?
‘should actually be doing this’? Why dont I have it all together?
an episode when we get to normalise these feelings and at the same time as normalising these feelings, normalise being confident that we are on the right path
**Today we talked about:**
rationally we all know its totally normal, but when we find ourselves questioning these feelings, it can sometimes lead us to take action from a desperate place.
I felt very lost, and I didn’t know what was ‘for me’ and I didnt know what my path was, and I didn’t know if I should just accept it. I didnt know what was what and I didnt have any confidence in any of it… (PUT THIS AS A QUOTE IN STORIES WITH A LINK TO THE PODCAST)
even if I might be going about this in the wrong way, I am on the right path and i am going to work it out..
the connection between - doing what we say we are going to do and our self worth & self trust.
how to build up when you feel your whole life needs a change in direction.
how to ensure that the hard days dont get accompanied by the weight of total catastrophe
my “I need to make a change” moment
stories I was telling myself around struggling.
my failed website & why I was a wreck the whole time.
my success and finally admitting what I wanted
what i’m still working on - confidence in my path, getting buzzed and excited about this stuff!
its natural to compare sometimes!

seeing the value in ‘my own way of explaining things’ and ‘being me’ vs being an expert

discrediting her own initial success as ‘luck’ or down to factor other than herself

remembering that the first time is always going to be the hardest..

creating a new IG account to allow Elise to share her work without the judgement of current friends.

keeping things out of the hands of an inner critic and not allowing other people to decide if its ‘good enough’

feedback and constructive criticism - both requested and unsolicited and how to process vulnerable feelings around this, including sitting in her own wisdom

the pressure to produce a lot and always share ‘new’ stuff

checking in with your own wisdom and opinions about things!

celebrating herself & celebrating as a practice

transferring her mindset from art and creativity practices into life

the humans behind the numbers

her failure

feeling like she’s doing the ‘wrong thing’ and am somehow going to be punished for something

the fear of appearing stupid

making commitments when she feels excited and then not following through on them

feeling behind

Elise’s own beliefs that she uncovered during her coach training

asking for help

journalling - ‘then what’
