A lot of us believe that surrendering means losing – that it's about giving up to the challenges of life.

It's the reason why people keep on fighting albeit being drowned in stress.

Nobody wants to raise the white flag.

But what if surrendering actually means trusting the seasons of life?

That it's not giving up.

It simply means letting go of the need to control the outcomes,stopping the fight, the worry and fear.

Surrender equals trust, which leads to a life that is truly meaningful and purposeful.

In this episode, I talk about surrendering, leaning into vulnerability, and trusting the seasons of your life.

Episode Quotes

"Everything is a learning opportunity."

"Surrender means allowing yourself to be where you are and trusting the seasons of your life."

"Surrendering opens the door for support and to trust."

"You don't find the solutions from a place of overwhelm, stress, and fear."

Life is full of highs and lows. It's a cycle that we all experience. So it's natural to be anxious or fearful sometimes, especially in challenging or unpleasant life situations. Consequently, we let our fears drown us to the point where we believe that the lows will never end.

And so whenever these heavy seasons come into our lives, it's vital to have support systems.

People that you trust, rely on, and who can help you deal with difficult situations.

Today, I delve into embracing life's highs and lows, depression and accessing trust, and the importance of a support system.

Episode Quotes

"You will never stop learning and growing."

"Life is meant to go through the highs and lows."

"Allow yourself to be vulnerable and share your fears."

"You'll have your heavy seasons but trust that it's all going to work out for you."

Defensiveness is a behavior that can manifest in a variety of situations.

It could be reacting to feedback at work or justifying criticisms from people close to you.

We become defensive when a sensitive issue is brought up that leads to shame or we feel attacked.

Although protective actions might make you feel better in the short term, they usually make you feel worse in the long run.

The foundation of defensiveness is the belief that we must always be correct – that strength and feeling good enough equates to winning difficult conversations.

It's time to shift our mindsets. We can be open and receptive without being defensive.

Today, I share what is defensiveness, why people become defensive, and ways to become less defensive so you can build lasting relationships.

Episode Quotes

"A relationship that is full of defensiveness is a shitty relationship."

"Defensiveness in a relationship means there's not good communication."

"Pause, breathe, and think before you respond."

"Do not listen to respond. Listen to understand."

"Defensiveness comes from you believing that you are being attacked."

Some of us believe that we must first overcome all our fears before moving forward. We keep holding back until we think it is safe enough to face our doubts.

However, as we keep on waiting our fears get stronger and stronger, leaving us paralyzed in striving for what we truly want in life.

Understand that fear is something that we all come up against, especially on our journey toward authenticity and success in life.

Fear is a very NORMAL human emotion and one that we cannot fully escape.

Recognize your fears and doubts… But don't let them overcome you.

Believe in yourself – you are capable, you are worthy, you are loved.

In this episode, I dig into the paralyzing power of fear and shame, how to move through it and build self-belief.

Episode Quotes

"Feel the fear and keep going."

"Take the doubt with you but don't let it overcome you."

"Believe in yourself and deepen those roots of confidence, love, and trust."

The path to success is never a straight line. You will encounter many challenges and roadblocks. And every time our dreams seem to elude us, we usually blame something outside of us: our finances, lack of time, relationships, our past… But what if none of these external factors are to blame? What if it's YOU?

Blame renders us powerless. Self- Responsibility leads to empowerment. When we feel empowered, we reach our goals.

It might be that your limiting belief is what's holding you back from moving forward towards your goals.

Simply because your beliefs create your results.

To break it down even more… It starts with your thoughts, and your thoughts determine the way you feel and your feelings drive your actions in reaching your goals and dreams...or not.

Remember, you are the creator of your reality. It's up to you and your beliefs. Figure out what you're thinking that's stopping you from believing in all the many things that are possible for you, and from there do this powerful work to change them.

In this episode, I go through the process of uncovering limiting beliefs, the power of visualization, and how believing in possibilities will change your life.

Episode Quotes

"You need to believe that you are a powerful co-creator."

"We grow through difficult times."

"Counter your limiting beliefs with believable and more positive thoughts."

"Visualization prepares your brain to go after your goals."

"Fall in love with the possibilities that are available to you."

As emotional beings, it's natural for us to desire human connections. LOVE is probably the most powerful emotion that we desire. And relationships operate best when each other's needs are satisfied in a balanced manner…but we must remember it's never the responsibility of another to meet our needs, that's our job.

However, it is a beautiful thing when two people can come together and express themselves and CHOOSE to be a support of one another rather than trying to force or control support or connection…

When the latter occurs, you may find yourself in a codependent relationship.

Although it may be tough to navigate relationships since there are various types in our lives…

The ability to build a strong, loving, and healthy relationship can be learned and developed.

In this episode, I talk about the dangers of victimhood, how to break free from codependency and how vulnerability and empathy can strengthen your relationships.

Episode Quotes

"It's beautiful to come together from a place of security in ourselves and enjoy each other."

"Fear generates victimhood, anger, blame, and insecurity."

"Forgiveness sets you free."

"The more you step into empathy, the closer you get to love."

Sometimes what stops us from moving forward is because we are indulging in our emotions rather than processing them. This could be sadness, doubt, unworthiness, apathy, overwhelm, anxiety, etc.

What happens most of the time is we get lost in the emotions and the stories that create the emotions.

We keep on replaying the same story in our head, indulging in it and therefore intensifying the way we are feeling.

The end result, we remain STUCK.

It's also common that we react to our emotions and do or say things that don't serve us or our relationships, which results in more negative emotions.

And so it's really important to recognize whether you are processing heavy emotions in a healthy way or if you're indulging in them.

In this episode, we'll delve into the difference between indulging and healthily feeling emotions, understanding and managing difficult emotions, how to disconnect from the story and instead healthily process emotions so you can move forward in a positive way.

Episode Quotes

"Lean back into trust and don't beat yourself up."

"Emotions are vibrations in our body."

"You have to allow yourself to feel the emotions to process them."

"Disconnect from the story and just allow yourself to feel the emotions."

As humans, we often attach our happiness to things, situations, and people.

What we don't realize is that these things aren't everlasting, and that at any moment there is this possibility of losing them.

That's why most of us end up in pain when something happens like a relationship ending, losing a job, or even when your valuable items are stolen.

I know it's not easy to let go of attachment. It's a continuous battle within us.

However, our attachment to anything, no matter how valuable it is, is not worth our emotional well-being.

LETTING GO is the key to a more fulfilling life.

Today, I want to talk to you about non-attachment and its importance, benefits of practicing non-attachment, different types of attachment, and the practice of letting go so you can start living a happier life.

Episode Quotes

"Our attachment to anything, no matter how expensive it is, is not worth our emotional well-being."

"Practicing non-attachment gets you closer to a more fulfilling and happier life."

"Attachment is the root of all suffering." - The Dalia Lama

What if I told you that the best way to move forward with love and light was to just ask yourself 3 questions? I know, you're probably listening because you want answers, not more questions, but honestly, any coach worth her salt knows that you already have all the answers you need inside you. You just need to know what to look for and how to find them…

That's why in the latest episode of The Soulfully Confident Podcast I go more into:

• The questions I use that changed my life
• Ways for you to implement them into yours

All these questions have the same goal- to help you navigate your world from a place of informed understanding and compassion. They are ways to learn from your past and help make better decisions for your future. I hope they help you all as much as they help me, and contribute to your journey of growth, love, and self-worth.
