        One of the biggest cop outs I see is people saying “I’m just not disciplined” and while this can feel REALLY true based on your current circumstance - it’s not the truth.

        • How this became a shadow for so many of us

            One of the biggest struggles I see in people's lives are their relationships -

            We often feel like we can’t fully be ourselves, or we lash out at them or we hang around people who aren’t good for us.

            • Ep. 27 Self-Fulfilling Prophecies? WTF?

              Here’s a tough pill we all need to swallow at some point -

              We often contribute to the sh*tty circumstances we end up in.

              While there are a lot of things we can’t control in our life..

              If we reflect on the part we played that led to a lot of these circumstances

              i.e..

              • Not setting boundaries and sticking to them
              • Staying in a job we knew was wrong for us
              • Waiting until shit has really hit the fan before changing anything
              • Procrastinating until the last minute
              • We can start to see a theme of how we can contribute to many of the circumstances we end up in.

                Now, most of us do NOT want to be contributing to sh*tty circumstances.. So why does this happen?

                The answer:

                Self-Fulfilling Prophecies.

                Tune in to learn:

                • What is a self-fulfilling prophecy
                • How our beliefs create our reality
                • Examples of self-fulfilling prophecies

                • Ep. 26 Self Sabotage is really an act of self love? WTF?

                  One of the biggest points of shame for many of us is when we know we are holding ourselves back, treating our health like shit and not being who we want to be … but we can’t seem to stop.

                  The umbrella term for this is ‘self-sabotage’

                  And it’s something I have coached 1000s of women on, including myself.

                  What I have found over and over, is that none of us wake up and consciously choose to sabotage or limit ourselves.

                  Every woman I talk to just wants to do better and feel better - so then why do we keep falling into ‘limiting’ behaviors?

                  This week on Shadow Work, WTF? I’ll be answering why you hold yourself back through self-sabotage and how to overcome it.

                  Tune in to learn:

                  • What is self sabotage
                  • How self sabotage is really an act of self-love
                  • Why we self-sabotage
                  • What self-sabotage looks like

                  • Ep. 25 3 Steps to getting out of a negative mindset? WTF?

                    We all get stuck in shitty headspace.

                    When it feels like our thoughts are spiraling out of control, where all we can see is the ‘bad’ things in our world, or we are stuck in catastrophic thinking about the future.

                    While I am a fan of going deep, integrating shadows, healing trauma and doing the deep work..

                    This isn’t what's ALWAYS needed and can sometimes put us into more of a spiral..

                    There are times where we actually just need to get out of our own heads and change our mindset.

                    And this is ALWAYS a choice you have available.

                    Even when it feels impossible - you can choose to feel better.

                    To treat yourself better.

                    To do what’s needed to move from pessimist to optimist.

                    In this episode,  I am giving you my exact 3 step process to shift out of a negative  headspace.

                      • Ep. 23 From anxious/avoidant in relationships to secure? WTF?

                        Humans are built for attachment, yet when we are young we are often taught that attachment is unsafe and we start to create different attachment styles that feel safe for us.

                        As we become adults, these attachment styles come out in our relationships and often stop us from connecting and feeling love the way we want.

                        I have been on a big journey with my attachment the last few years and have moved from anxious/avoidant to a more secure place.

                        I never thought I could get to the place I am and have the relationship I have, so I wanted to share all about my journey, my insights and how I moved to a secure place.

                        This is a personal journey as well as some ways to identify your own attachment throughout.

                        • What are attachment styles
                        • What are the 4 attachment styles
                        • How I thought I was anxious but was anxious/avoidant and what this looked like
                        • The importance of SAFE people when learning to be secure
                        • The things I did to move from anxious/avoidant to secure
                        • Key take-aways for those wanting to become more secure
