This week I noticed a common pattern among my clients that I just had to share with you.It's all about reconnecting with our self-sufficiency and how it can free us from fear of losing our job, that can often make you stay in unpleasant circumstances and conditions. I had clients who were feeling unsupported at work and allowing their boundaries to be crossed because they were afraid of losing their jobs.But here's the thing, we often forget that our sufficiency doesn't solely depend on our employers or clients.I dive into the power of remembering our own value, skills, and ability to provide for ourselves.By reconnecting with our self-sufficiency, we can break free from fear and empower ourselves to not settle for less.

In this episode, I share a powerful insight that came from a coaching session with a former client.

We delve into the dynamics of relationships and how we often find ourselves taking on the role of the peacekeeper, sacrificing our own emotional needs to maintain harmony.

But there comes a point when resentment starts to build, and we question whether our needs matter.

We explore the concept of Emotional Capacity and how it relates to managing discomfort in relationships. 

By recognizing that we can't control our partner's emotions, we can focus on expanding our own Emotional Capacity and holding space for both ourselves and our partner.

In this episode, I share a conversation I had with a coach friend who has been diligently planting seeds in her business, expecting them to bear fruit.

As I reflect on my own coaching company, I realize how often I find myself waiting for future outcomes and expecting that I will feel happy and fulfilled then,  instead of fully appreciating the present achievements.

It's a common habit among my clients as well.

So, today I want to invite you to pause and consider where your energy is focused.

Are you constantly in seed-planting mode, overlooking the sprouted seeds and fruits you already have? Taking them for granted?

By celebrating and enjoying what you have created so far, you can break free from the cycle of constant striving and find fulfillment in the present moment.

It's time to acknowledge and cherish the results of your past efforts, recognizing how far you've come!

I've been reflecting a lot on the blue pill / red pill concept from The Matrix.

You know, that choice between staying in a comfortable illusion or facing the truth, even if it's uncomfortable.

Lately, I've noticed a common thread among my coaching clients – they're being really mean to themselves in their own minds. We're talking negative self-talk, self-judgment, and all that jazz.

I want to explore these self-critical moments and invite you to choose the red pill of self-compassion.

It's not about blaming ourselves for the past, but about embracing the power of choice in how we treat ourselves.

Let's dive in and free ourselves from the suffering of self-judgment.

In this thought-provoking episode, we explore the universal story of a client facing a dilemma at work. 

Struggling with an unsupportive boss and an overwhelming workload, she fears repeating past patterns of dissatisfaction. We debunk the myth of returning to undesired situations, emphasizing that while circumstances may appear similar, we are never the same person and each experience brings growth.

By consciously seeking differences, recognizing progress, and embracing the spiral of personal growth, we can break free from fear and embrace endless possibilities. Strategies like self-awareness, curiosity, and resilience support our journey.

Let go of the illusion and join me on The Humans We Are as we embrace the spiral and keep growing.

Today, I want to share a personal story with you. Surprisingly, I found myself in a church recently, attending a mass at my son's school. Now, if you know me, you'd be surprised because I'm not a religious person. I consider myself more spiritual, with unconventional beliefs that go beyond traditional religions. It's unexpected for those close to my husband and me to know that we send our kids to Catholic schools. But there's a reason behind it, a fortunate twist of fate.

While I was raised Catholic, my family wasn't deeply involved in the church. I went through the rituals of baptism and first communion but decided not to take the sacrament of confirmation. As I grew older, my scientific mind and the negative aspects of organized religion pushed me further away from spirituality.

However, sending our kids to Catholic school has challenged my perspectives on religion and spirituality. It's been an intriguing journey that constantly pushes me to reconsider my beliefs. Sometimes, I wish I could approach it more lightly, viewing it as a mere set of practices. But that's not the path I've chosen for this lifetime.

Today, I want to share a reflection on love. Spirituality allows me to experience incredible emotions, feel connected to all beings, and appreciate the beauty of creation. In my relationship with the Catholic Church, I realized that I had thrown out the baby with the bathwater. Attending the mass with my family brought forth overwhelming love and joy. It made me realize that we often close ourselves off to the love, abundance, and beauty available to us.

Just like my experience with nature during the pandemic, where I initially felt disconnected in my urban surroundings, I learned to open my heart and embrace the nature that was already present. Similarly, I invite you to consider where you might be blocking yourself from joy, love, and abundance due to broad, high-level decisions or unquestioned beliefs.

Take a moment to reflect on your spirituality, the love available to you, the appreciation and support from those around you, the abundance within reach, and the opportunities that may be waiting for you. Can you open your heart to receive what's there for you? I sincerely hope you will.
