Intuitively Authentic

It’s the start of a new year and that means one thing- resolutions & “fresh starts.” We start to establish the “new us” and one of two things typically happen- we become overly rigid OR we last only a few days and slip back into old habits. Is it possible to hold ourselves accountable while concurrently giving ourselves grace for being human?? Let’s dig in and find out HOW.

It is generally true that our comfort zones keep us safe. But even more true is that our comfort zones limit us, make us complacent, and CAN at times create situations that are actually not safe for us. So, HOW do we lean into discomfort and WHY does that seem to be required for our personal growth? This episode ties together concepts from some previous episodes and reminds us of the importance of taking a chance, trusting our guts, and the power of GOING FOR “IT”

No one is exempt from sometimes having distorted thoughts; delusions that drive us to irrational feelings or actions. So HOW do we trust ourselves, when we’re literally saying our minds sometimes have some weird shit going on??  

This is where our first guest ever (!) comes into play. Jess, a Licensed Professional Counselor, will help walk us through both red flags for when we’re potentially experiencing some thought errors AND simple tools to challenge those  thoughts and make them more useful in our lives. 

Have you ever felt like you don’t belong or are unworthy to be where you are? All too often individuals find themselves in situations, in jobs, in relationships, where we are scared of being “caught” as unqualified or undeserving… where do these feelings come from?

What does it mean to lead? A job title  or a specific role do not automatically make someone a leader, so what actually does? Let’s delve into characteristics to be developed and practiced, because literally everyone can lead in different areas of life.

We don’t really buy into the commercialized self-care BS. Not all of us have access to all the time spa days and nights spent with wine & candles, right?! How can we possibly justify taking time for ourselves when sometimes even going to the bathroom uninterrupted feels like a luxury?

What kind of BS is “work life balance” anyway? Is it possible to harmoniously integrate our work selves and our home selves? And if we claim it is, or even hope we can, howwww?
