This episode is about how we struggle sometimes to see our own value, our skills, the beauty & and the light in us, because the story we carry about who we are was built years ago and never updated.

Sometimes all it takes is changing perspective, holding a new mirror, looking at yourself through a new lens. That's what coaching does. Reflecting back to you the beauty in you that you have been ignoring for too long.

If you are currently navigating a transition this one is for you!

In my coaching practice, I’ve met many brilliant, successful women who felt suddenly 'uninteresting', 'invisible' after going through a professional transition: a resignation, an expatriation, a redundancy, a retirement.

As if their whole identity was encapsulated in & limited to that social role. They cannot see their intrinsic value beyond the title or position they no longer have. They feel that they no longer matter.

This episode is about:

✨ identity beyond performance

✨ self-worth beyond status

✨ reconnecting to your intrinsic value

You will realize that your value was never your title.

In this episode, I talk about the challenges we sometimes face in accepting people for who they truly are - be it our beloved ones, our colleagues or our friends. Because we care, we may be tempted to 'fix' them so that they better match the POTENTIAL we see in them. But by doing so, we take from them their power to learn by themselves, even if it is the hard way, and we project expectations on them that may feel hard for them to satisfy. Result: misunderstanding, judgement, disappointment, distance. When all we wanted was care & help. This is an invitation to stop trying to fix them, to let them be who they are, and love them as they are.

The podcast episode explores the story of Claire, a strong woman who carries the burden of feeling not good enough. It delves into her emotional struggles with accepting compliments or believing she truly deserves them, and her journey to finally letting appreciation sink in.

Sometimes, the mind resists and is hard to reprogram. This episode shows how I combine energy healing into my coaching practice, and how working with the sensations in the body helps overcoming mental barriers and accessing emotions hidden deep inside.

Takeaways

• Self-acceptance is crucial for emotional well-being
