Ep 439: 40 Lessons in 40 Years Part 3

As I approach my 40th birthday next week, I’ve been reflecting on the experiences that shape the foundation of my value system and understanding of the world around me. In this episode, I delve into lessons 21 to 30 of my “40 Lessons in 40 Years” series, exploring topics like reciprocity, embodiment, and identity.  When it comes to my relationships, health, career – honestly, everything in my life – I’m committed to trusting my embodied awareness. I’m all about meeting people where they are, but I’ve also realized that I need to be okay with where I am and let my inner-knowing guide the way. I hope this series sparks something in you to think about your innate wisdom and what lessons you’ve picked up along the way. If anything resonates with you (or doesn’t), I’d love to hear from you!  In episode 439 of the Embodied Podcast we discuss: (1:28) Lesson #21: Reciprocity is great to integrate into your value system to just ensure that you're not constantly burning yourself out and over-giving.  (4:20) Lesson #22: Be discerning about marketing versus information.  (9:22) Lesson #23: Differentiate between healthcare and illness scare (h/t to Anita Moorjani) (10:25) Lesson #24: Be careful what you identify with and hold on to all your identities with a flexible grip. (12:42) Lesson #25: Practice less armchair diagnosing and more discernment around what kind of behavior, treatment, and communication works best for you. (13:50) Lesson #26: We do not need to understand things or how and why they happen in order to heal, grow, and learn from them.  (14:39) Lesson #27: People let attachment to (and weird definitions of) morality interfere with good decision making. (15:06) Lesson #28: Here on Earth where love is extremely powerful and potent, but we also have free will with our truth, integrity, compassion, and forgiveness, love is just not enough sometimes.  (15:35) Lesson #29: Expressive arts are so important because sometimes we need stories in order to feel and acknowledge what we’re actually going through.  (17:50) Lesson #30: It’s really important to create levels in my work and be clear about who is meant for each offering.  Resources mentioned in the episode: This is Marketing by Seth Godin  Dying to Be Me by Anita Moorjani  Ep 181.
