My Messy Lessons

I wanted to give my My Messy Lessons listeners a chance to listen to my NEW podcast, "Sexuality After...". In this podcast I talk to people about their experiences of sex and sexuality after religion, trauma, parenthood and loss. I'm aiming for it to be very real and raw and so I hope you enjoy it as much as this one!

If you want to connect with me on other platforms, you can sign up for my email list here or through my website, www.phoebed.com, watch my YouTube videos at Tea with Phoebe D., or, of course, subscribe to my new podcast, Sexuality After, wherever you get your podcasts!

Thank you so much for joining me on my My Messy Lessons journey and I hope to see you other places! :) 

Not only do we have shadow parts... but we have wisdom, love, genius and courage. What are your strongest inner allies? Your strongest inner strengths? In this episode I share mine- and how different their voices are from my shadow parts. It's so important that one voice is not indicative of our wholeness. Like Jung says, we are a community within ourselves. I share my 3 of my strongest inner resources to encourage you to find your own. You are always with you, so any resources you find are always there for you. Always.

Fear, guilt, loneliness, sadness, anger... our shadows are real and they affect our daily lives. How do you interact with these parts of yourself? Have you ever thought about it? What if you actually listened to them? What if they were trying to protect you? In this episode I share my 3 most shadowy parts... just so you feel better about yours ;) 

So many of us struggle with the feeling that we are never enough. It's exhausting. In this episode, I share what I have learned in my studies about this, and the questions that have helped me to see myself differently.

We are limited human beings- our time, energy and money are limited. Do you own and love what you've chosen to spend them on? Do I? hehe. Listen and find out! 

Why do we feel so stuck sometimes? Stuck in a situation or in our own story? In this podcast I share 4 powerful questions I have learned that have helped me get unstuck.... and moving towards what I wanted. WARNING: If you like to have problems, this podcast is not for you! If you like to move forward, then go ahead and hit PLAY!

Today's podcast is different. I would like to offer you a meditation/practice to do that will help you to find your own inner resources. It's easy to be in fear and forget that we also have the ability to be a badass, and strong, and resourceful, and courageous. Now is the time to remember that!

As strange as it seems, sometimes trying to believe "positive" beliefs all the time leaves me feeling entitled to easy, ashamed and broken. What happens when I embrace more realistic beliefs?
