In Episode 21 the focus is on defining your Truth…what defines who you are and what you stand for.

In this episode, after learning last week how negative messages can create limiting core beliefs, we talk about how to instead define your real truth. Getting solid can require some serious soul searching and soul owning as we regain the authentic self. It also can entail getting some truth straight with ourselves first!

Key Elements

• Clarify how negative messaging can show up all around you
• Letting yourself get good and angry about this can be helpful
• Learn how getting grounded is facilitated by a routine of healthy self-care

"Some people are living the illusions of others,

instead of living the truth of themselves."

Welcome to episode twenty where we explore how early messages about ourselves helped form core beliefs that have been driving our choices and behavior.

In this episode I explain how the early messages you received – both positive and negative – helped to form your self-concept. We process the deep impacts of these messages and begin to decipher what they "really" mean, and how you may have applied them to your life without even realizing it.

Key Elements

• Name some common damaging messaging
• Look at how messages become beliefs about ourselves
• Do some experiential work around discovering your own messaging

It only takes one message

one time

to ruin a child's motivation

to use their gifts and

discover who they are.

Welcome to episode Nineteen, as we explore the idea of self-concept and how it is formed early in life.

In this episode we talk about the origins of our self-concept in childhood, and how the emotional safety of the family is crucial for healthy self-esteem in a child. We talk about verbal abuse and control, and how we can slowly lose ourselves. This episode is a first in our month-long series of looking at self-concept as it relates to empowerment.

Key Elements

• Look at how the lack of boundaries in primary relationships damage self-concept
• Define verbal abuse and its impacts on self-esteem and assertiveness
• Explore how control and manipulation make it unsafe to be vulnerable

"Any time we are emotionally dishonest and therefore act out rather than speak honestly and respectfully, it is abusive. These behaviors destroy trust in relationships and can decimate a child's self=esteem. Even being in an adult relationship long enough with abusive people can make us forget our own name, much less allow us to feel safe, loved and confident."

Welcome to episode Eighteen where we wrap up the conversation around boundaries by exploring just how to set and maintain them.

In this episode we get into the nuts and bolts of how to articulate your boundaries in a healthy way, and the things to think about before you set them. We also explore the idea of following through and maintaining them. This episode builds on some of the previous ones such as EP 014 Manipulation and Control if you haven't already. The art of setting boundaries is such a huge topic in and of itself, so be sure to check out the resources below to further develop the skills!

Key Elements

• Identify ways to articulate your boundaries.
• Learn how to keep the focus on yourself and not them!
• Discuss why healthy support is so crucial when doing boundary work.

The first boundary we ever really set at all

is always, always with ourselves.

Welcome to episode Seventeen where we talk about boundaries in our behavior and compare healthy versus unhealthy ways of acting.

In this episode I talk about boundaries in our behavior – how we act, what is healthy and what's not and why, so you can explore where you think you are (and of course others around you) and have a better understanding of why looking at behavior through the lens of boundary work can be helpful.

So join me as compare and contrast healthy and unhealthy behavior.

Key Elements

· Identify unhealthy behavior patterns and why they demonstrate a lack of boundaries.

· Acknowledge origins of unhealthy behaviors – and what creates so much chaos!

· Explore 10 healthy behaviors, why they matter and assess where you are today.

We mature when we see beyond the myopic...of having it our way...of sitting in our own pain...therefore, we don't act out as much when others present us with The Reality...you know...That Thang...
