How to Speak Your Truth and Honour Your Needs

As we head into a new year, it is a time of reflection for many. Towards the end of 2022, I went through a breakup with my partner and I am still in the process of processing that and harnessing the lessons. 

I love those kinds of challenging moments, because they're the moments of growth, and I thought I would record an episode for you, to share some of my reflections so far.

What I talk about and some questions to ask yourself if you are in a similar position:

• The importance of speaking your truth and not abandoning yourself in relationships.
• Am I in a hustle mode because I’m putting other people’s needs above my own?
• Where are you putting yourself second and making yourself feel worse by trying to please others?
• How do you go about expressing and getting what you need?
• Identifying if we are still operating from early childhood wounding.
• If we’re trying to please or fit in, we aren’t doing what we are supposed to be on the planet doing.
• What happens when you step more into your truth.
• Why you have to claim what you want

Today’s guest is Damien Bohler, the founder of Evolutionary Relating.

Damien is passionate about helping to evolve the way we relate with friends, family, colleagues and intimate partners.

“Humans are not solitary creatures. We are in relationship, always. With family, friends, work colleagues, romantic partners, dates or lovers. Do you ever ask stop and ask yourself, “What is the quality of these relationships in my life?” — Damien Bohler

Do you naturally sit in a more feminine energy? 

It’s ok to do business in a more feminine way!

This weeks episode is inspired by a conversation I recently had with my beautiful friend who is quite a feminine energy person and she conducts her business from this place. 

I talk about:

• The shift from hustle-hunt to trusting listening to my intuition.
• The feminine vs masculine way of working or conducting your business 
• Working in a male-oriented environment 
• Finding a balance between both masculine and feminine that feels in alignment for you 

The feminine way of business is a softening, a slowing down and listening to your intuition - allowing yourself to receive, so you're not going out and hunting, you're allowing opportunities to come to you. 

Let this be your permission to do just that and to tap into divine timing and flow.
