Kim talks with Margot Zaher about the mask of overwhelm and how claiming that we are overwhelmed is just a way to really avoid our responsibilities. Why do we avoid certain things in life? Oftentimes, if we really dig deep we may notice that the real issue is that we feel inadequate. In this episode Kim and Margot talk about the importance of being aware of those limiting beliefs and how they can keep us from stepping outside of our comfort zones and doing the things that we really want to do in the name of saying that we are too overwhelmed. To hear more about what you can do to overcome this, listen in.

In this episode Kim talks about how we are so conditioned by society as well as our loved ones that success should be measured a certain way. Whether we are starting a new relationship, a new job, career, business or work out plan, we measure the outcomes. It is not that outcomes are not important because they are. It is not helpful when it is the only thing we focus on and we start putting pressure on ourselves when we don’t meet those measured outcomes. We must learn to listen to ourselves and know that we are good enough regardless of any measured outcome. As recovering perfectionists we tell ourselves that our best is good enough and we learn to have compassion and grace for ourselves whenever we are doing something new.

In this episode Kim talks with Kim Coffin about how many different masks show up in the bedroom. We can wear the people pleaser mask for sure. It can be particularly difficult for many women to assert themselves and ask for what they want and need when having sex. Women are conditioned to please their partners and also that the purpose of sex is to procreate. This can lead to a very unfulfilling sex life and further more, lead to unfulfilling relationships. Kim Coffin talks about how people can reclaim their power by reconnecting with their bodies and healing any old traumas or patterns. She teaches her clients many different tools to do this. If you are interested in hearing more you will want to listen to this episode. “How you show up in the bedroom is how you show up in life.” ~ Kim Coffin

In this episode Kim talks about what a weight perfectionism can be on us. Most of us created this mask when we were young in order to protect ourselves. It may have served a purpose at the time, but now that mask/pattern is just causing us unnecessary suffering. The problem is most of us don’t know that we are wearing this mask and furthermore we don’t know what to do about it. We don’t realize that at the root of this is a feeling of not being enough. If you want to hear more about what you can do if you suffer with this mask listen in.

“Perfectionism is a twenty ton shield-ton shield that we lug around thinking it will protect us when in fact, it’s the thing that’s really preventing us from taking flight. If we want to overcome perfectionism, we need to let go of the heavy weight that holds us down.” Unknown

Do you find yourself judging others? Do you have strong aversions to things that other people say or do? Have you ever considered that those things that you are judging about others may also be things that you judge about yourself but you just are not aware of it? This is what shadow work is about. Shadow work is about including or integrating the parts of ourselves that we deny or cut off from and until we learn how to integrate them, we can not come into wholeness. When we come into wholeness we can love unconditionally and no longer look for people on the outside to fill our cups because we are learning how to source our own internal love and that just spills out to others.

 “Whatever we judge and make wrong or bad in others is within us-somewhere. The path to inner peace and greater connection requires us to acknowledge that we are that too, and reclaim that abandoned part into wholeness.” by Deb Blum

Rebecca Doring is an epitome of what is possible when you befriend your masks. This means that whenever you do the innerwork and heal those patterns from the past as well as current patterns, you can experience joy, peace and freedom.  Rebecca fully experienced what it was like to wear the people-pleaser mask as a little girl and later the perfection mask while at culinary school. She experienced tremendous pressure from the school as well as internal pressure and realized that she could not sustain this type of living. She changed course in her life and as a result of the innerwork she created a life and a business that she loves and has found a pathway to true freedom. To learn more take a listen.

About:

Rebecca Doring - Meditation Teacher, Personal-Development Coach - helps professional women learn how to manage their inner critics so that they can realign with their authentic purpose, go after and achieve their goals, and finally create the impact they know they are meant to have.

After achieving a lifelong dream of graduating from The Culinary Institute of America with a degree in Baking and Pastry Arts, and still feeling unfulfilled and burnt out, Rebecca left the food industry, discovered meditation, and unintentionally discovered herself. Now she knows the potential of rewriting the story of perfectionism to one of going after goals living fully, while having her own back. She's guided hundreds of people through the same process helping them finally find the freedom, joy, and impact they've been seeking.
