Masks Off: Inner Freedom For People-Pleasers and Perfectionists

This episode is an amazing and deep conversation with Diana. She shares many insights and wisdom and one in particular is how and why as children we make a choice to be loved instead of being real. She dives in deep and explains what that means from her lens and why she believes we develop and create masks. Diana shares and explains how people can begin to heal and thus peel back the masks that they wear. She shares much of her own personal story throughout the episode and how she got to where she is today. If you would like to be inspired you will want to listen to this interview.

“We liberate children not by making them work for our love but by letting them rest in it.” ~Gordon Neufield

Episode 75

When you make decisions in your life, do you make them only from your head or only from your heart, or do you balance the two? Do you make impulsive decisions or with a sense of urgency? Are you coming from fear when you make decisions and do you find yourself in a more difficult situation as a result? When we make decisions from lack or scarcity, we will often rush or jump into situations and as a result, it often does not go well. What we often lack when making decisions whether big or small is balance between the head and the heart. If you can resonate with any of these questions take a listen and hear more of what Kim and Tia share.

“Only through the bringing together of head and heart - intelligence and goodness - shall man rise to a fulfillment of his true nature.” ~ Martin Luther King, Jr

Episode 74

What type of conflict avoider are you? Do you fight when you are in conflict with another and do you blame and deflect taking responsibility because you don’t want to be honest with yourself? Or, are you a person who flees and just runs from the conflict because you fear being attacked by the other? Either way is not healthy communication and is problematic for relationships. While it can be smart and helpful to walk away from a conflict if one or both of you are upset, it is important to come back and have a healthy conversation when both are calmed down. If we continually “push the conflict under the rug” and avoid, problems very rarely get resolved.

“If you avoid conflict to keep the peace you start a war inside yourself.” ~ Cheryl Richardson

Episode 73

Are you afraid of choosing courage over comfort?  Do you hold back from speaking up or setting a boundary because it is easier to be quiet and stay comfortable? Do you avoid taking risks because it is too scary to step outside your comfort zone? If you answered yes to any of these questions take a listen as Kim and Tia talk about balancing between taking risks to avoid dealing with an issue and staying too comfortable because it is easier. Discernment is important when choosing courage and taking a risk and yet staying inside your comfort zone can keep you from growing and blossoming.

Episode 71

Do you struggle to make decisions in your life? Do you make pros and cons lists when making a big life decision? Do you overthink things or do you tend to lean in and listen to your intuition? When we are in a practice of being in the moment and we tune in to our bodies and our hearts there is a sense of knowing that the decision or decisions that you make are right for you. If you vacillate back and forth then chances are there may be more for you to learn or you are not honoring your intuition. As the quote below states, “all that you need lies within you and you just need to follow your heart.” Although this is easier said than done when you do this you will feel in alignment with your true self and you will feel at peace.

“Listen to the compass of your heart. All you need lies within you.”  ~ Mary Anne Radmacher

Episode 70

In this episode Kim and Tia talk about their new online course, True North. One of the main intentions for this course is to teach how to take teachings and wisdom and actually build a tool box so that we can integrate the wisdom. It is one thing to know something and it is another to actually put it into practice and have it be useful. One of the tools that Kim and Tia will be teaching is how to create a value system so that when you are lost in life it can help point you in the right direction. More often than not, many of us are not even aware of what is important to us let alone have a highly developed value system as the quote says. If you are interested in taking this course it begins on March 1st and you can click the link below to sign up. https://masksoff.teachable.com/p/truenorth Use Coupon Code MO30 to save $30!

Episode 69

How often do you find yourself trying to control another by saying the same thing over and over again? Or perhaps you ask prodding questions or get upset with another if that person doesn’t take your advice or even respond the way you expect him to respond? Often, we may try and control another person because we are in fear or lack so we feel an innate sense to control and feel safe. Perhaps our motivation for controlling the other is because we fear being rejected. Whatever the reason for trying to control the other, one thing for sure is that we can not have inner peace if we are trying to control. If inner peace is what you desire, then the practice and the art of letting go becomes paramount.

“We should have much peace if we would not busy ourselves with the sayings and doings of others.” ~ Thomas a Kempis

Episode 68

In this episode Kim shares more of her experience with having Covid and the lessons that she learned. While there were many moments of being in fear and anxiety and worry about what the future held for her, she implemented the practice of coming back to the present moment and accepted that she did not know what the future held for her with this Covid virus and she learned to be ok with it. We can apply this spiritual practice to any situation in our lives because the hard reality is that we have no idea what the future holds and we cannot always control outcomes. Learning how to come back to that space of knowing that we have no idea what the future holds for us or what may be around the corner, and all we truly have is this moment, is the spiritual practice and the biggest lesson that Kim learned from having Covid.

“The harder we try to catch hold of the moment, to seize a pleasant sensation… the more elusive it becomes … It is like trying to clutch water in one’s hands- the harder one grips, the faster it slips through one’s fingers.” ~ Alan Watts

Episode 67

Do you feel like you are perpetually stuck in the muck? Do you feel like a black cloud is always following you? Do you consistently resist life and find yourself trying to control outcomes? If you answered yes to any of these questions, take a listen as Kim and Tia talk about taking a different perspective on life’s challenges. There will always be challenges, disappointment, pain and “curve balls.” That is a given. We have a choice about whether we stay stuck in the muck of our feelings and thoughts or whether we use the opportunities to grow and learn life’s lessons. When we can look at life as opportunities to grow and learn, then we can live from a place of abundance rather than lack.

"Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay." – Thich Nhat Hanh
