In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Jeri Quirk as we transcend societal constraints and uncover the essence of personal growth through self-motivated decisions.

She guides us away from a life of direction by others, and towards one that honors our inner wisdom. We talked about the pitfalls of a hierarchical society and how a simple shift in perspective leads to profound changes in our coaching practices, fostering a healthier, more genuine existence for ourselves and our clients. This episode uncovers the cathartic path to healing people-pleasing tendencies and the necessity of emotional expression for a balanced life. We share how embracing our inner child's voice can lead to genuine transformation, guiding you through practical exercises to foster introspection and mend the past's wounds.

Dr. Jeri Quirk founded the Jersey Shore Free School in Little Silver, NJ in 2009. Jeri is a practicing psychotherapist, and also an expert in Educational Leadership and  a vocal critic of traditional, coercive education. She’s an advocate of self-guided learning and holistic development through the Sudbury schooling model.

One of the primary reasons for sharing Jeri’s wisdom with OUR Nourish community is because she helps people to explore shifting from external to internal motivation in personal decisions. This philosophy resonated so much with me that it has become a vital part of our coaching. We clearly see the damage of our society’s focus on the top down external motivation in the struggles we all have to tune into ourselves for answers about our health and wellness.
