Outgrow The Grind

Hello everyone, and welcome to Episode 12 of Season 2! In today's episode of Outgrow the Grind, we are joined by Natasha, a licensed sex therapist, certified sex coach, and sex doula. Natasha empowers women to connect with their bodies and awaken their sexuality, allowing them to experience the pleasure they deserve. Natasha loves helping women identify their mind, body, and sexual necessities through confidence and boundary building.

🌱 In this episode, you'll learn:

• About Natasha's daily grind when she was an Assistant Director in a corporate hospital.
• Why she started working on the side with clients through her private practice, and why she was working more than 8 hours each day.
• How COVID had a positive effect on her transition to focus on her own clients and avoid horrible traffic.
• What her transition towards outgrowing the grind has looked like: slow mornings, more time for herself, for her body, a less overwhelming To Do List (most of the time), and trying to work until no further than 7:00 P.M
• The positive effects of Natasha's non-negotiable commitment to herself every single Wednesday night (and how her family supports her in making it happen!)
• Her advice for people in the grind now: always choose yourself and what feels good to you; everything else will fall into place.
• Some reflective questions for this episode: 1. What nourishes and gives energy to you? 2. What boundaries can you put in place to create space for that on a regular basis? You can find your worksheet to answer these questions at https://bit.ly/prioritizeyourpleasure

Have you ever felt like you're not good enough? Like you keep pushing yourself and aren't getting the results you want? You are not alone, my friend. Here to talk about the pressure of being a perfectionist is Melanie Maxwell.

Melanie is a mom of 2 little girls, a wife, and a confidence coach. She started as a holistic nutritionist, but as she learned more about the deeper reasons that women struggle with food and their bodies, she became obsessed with understanding the many ways society tricks women (and really anyone who isn't a straight white man) into thinking that they aren't good enough.

🌱 In this episode, you'll learn:

• The moment when Melanie started to feel this pressure to be a perfectionist, and how she found her worth by doing things perfectly.
• The impact her body image had on her as a teenager and young adult.
• The impostor syndrome she felt at University, even though she was an A-student.
• Why she reached her breaking point when she became a mom.
• Melanie's realization that her daughters notice what she's doing and how she's treating herself.
• Why proving that you're "perfect" to others doesn't prove anything to yourself.
• How Melanie learned to stop proving anything as well as how to love herself, imperfections and all.
• How Melanie encourages her clients about the importance of rest, self care, and self honoring.
• Some reflection questions to think about after this episode: 1. Are there words you never want to be described as? 2. What have you made those words mean? 3. What might open up for you if you could be those words?

Thank you for joining me on another episode of Outgrow the Grind. Today's episode will be a little bit different than the other Season 2 episodes; this one will be about how Outgrow the Grind got me back in the grind (ironic, isn't it?)

A few weeks ago, I decided to launch two episodes of Outgrow the Grind every week. I tried it, and after a few weeks, I realized that it isn't working for me, and it's time to change it. The realization of this has also brought me many meaningful lessons on fear, false expectations, self-permission, and of course, outgrowing the grind.

🌱 In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why I decided to launch one episode per week instead of two.
• What matters most to me as I create my podcast.
• Back to basics: What is outgrowing the grind? What do spaciousness, rest, pleasure, connection and play have to do with it?
• How fear played into me wanting to do more than I could handle.
• The three P's that remind me when it's time to pause.
• Why growth is unpredictable.
• A question to think about during this episode: What in your life is no longer working for you?

Welcome to another heart-warming episode of Outgrow the Grind! In today's episode, we are joined by Parijat Desphande. Parijat shares how she's outgrown two different phases of "the grind."

Before kids, Parijat was fully booked day-to-day, and she loved it! She was very happy teaching, meeting with clients, being with family, and spending time with friends. It didn't feel like a grind at all. Parijat's pregnancy with her son was high-risk. She was put on bed rest after week 6, and then had her son earlier than planned. She was in the hospital for a while and then nervously had to wait for her son to come home.

After bringing home her son, Parijat was on lockdown, only leaving the house for doctor's appointments. During this time, she noticed that she went from one extreme to the other and realized that neither way nourished her.

🌱 In this episode, you'll learn:

• All about Parijat's journey through a high-risk pregnancy.
• The tension between doing and being.
• What it was like to have her old life vs. her new one as a mother.
• The moment she decided to create a business that helps other women experiencing a high-risk pregnancy.
• What outgrowing the grind meant to her: being an amazing mother and helping others.
• How common it is to feel guilty when your approach to motherhood and work is different than the one way the system tells us about.
• How to be flexible and say no to certain things in order to say yes to yourself. There is always a choice when it comes to the way we live our lives.
• The false notion that we have to work hard to earn our worthiness.
• Why you do deserve a life outside the grind.
• What Parijat learned to say no to on her path of outgrowing her grinds.
• Why the hydrangea is her favorite plant.
• Some reflective questions to think about: 1) Have you ever thought you don't deserve the life you want? 2) What am I not thinking I deserve? 3) What nourishes me?
