October. Seventh

There is this urban myth that only crazy people need therapy, in that case, it might be worth considering that perhaps we are all crazy because we all need to talk to someone about the things that scare us, about the things that have conditioned us, about the things we don't understand and about the things we want but don't know how to attain. 

On this episode, we not only discuss the difference between, therapy, counselling, and psychiatry but also dissect my first counselling experience, what it entailed, and how uncomfortable yet validating the experience was. 

Did you know that you could be an empath but still be emotionally detached? Also that your desire to heighten your emotional intelligence and personal development could be your defence mechanism? 

I've always wondered whether my, confident, "go lucky" demeanour was my defence mechanism, follow me as I undergo counselling and find out. 

Let's crack on shall we...

Oh, don't forget to follow us @shoutprettygirl

It's all fun and games being a hopeless romantic until you realise that you're scared, until you realise that you very much you need to work on yourself...until you realise that, only time tells you whether or not you're compatible with some and for the most part, all you can really do is put your best foot forward in hopes of building authentic chemistry. 

Why does no one talk about the fear of admitting you want to love and be loved? 

Why does no one highlight all the different aspects of dating which contribute to shaping your desires? 

Why does no one talk about the confusing stage when you just don't know what you want? 

Do you feel dumb because you continue to expect and hope? Or, is more a matter of numbness because you're scared of being disappointed and therefore run from the idea of committing and investing? 

Do you feel under pressure to find love when really, you just want company or a bit of fun? 

What is it, are you just scared to admit you want to experience love for everything it is? 

Whether you know what you want, or you don't, the first step is, to be honest with yourself about how you feel and why. 

Thank me later xx

We start this episode off by briefly exploring, 'hard parenting' and how effective it is, where it comes from and how it shapes parent and child relationships.

After I get the snot out my nose...(literally), we dive into a conversation centred around morning preparation, mind hacks and daily alignment; ways in which one can get the most out of their morning and day.  

Details such as how you start your day and how you end your day matter; it's not until you pay attention and start creating routines which stabilise you, that you really begin to maximise your day and set the tone for it.

...preparation will mean different things for everyone, what works for me may not work for you. You have to identify who you are, what your needs are and how you can accommodate said needs by starting your day off right.

We close the show by writing some affirmations for the month.
