I loved chatting with Kristina - she's so inspirational; after receiving a diagnosis of ADHD in adulthood, Kristina has cultivated a community for others experiencing similar challenges through her podcast (linked below). In this episode we chatted about sifting through shame to unlock our superpowers, gifts, and talents. When you hobbie hop, can't seem to find "your thing", or stick to one thing as society deems appropriate - this can be accompanied with confusion, embarrassment, and feelings of low self-worth.  Kristina is a MASTER at pivoting in her life, career, and passions and has been able to apply all of her skills and abilities to each new endeavor that she tackles! Take this as your permission slip to change your mind and to dream big.

This episode was intended to be a short, motivational episode, but it turned into a not-so-short, motivational episode. I jammed on moving through symptoms of anxiety and panic and processing emotions. Take care of yourself, stay conscious, present,  awake, and aware so that when you find what you're looking for - you don't miss it!! When you're already exhausted and tired from the journey and it feels like panic, frustration, and confusion are your only options - turn to your skills, your knowing, your abilities, your faith. Get grounded and know that you're on the right path and though your desires may seem far off, what you really want and need could be right around the corner.

At some point in our lives we all experience some sort of emotional pain, if we experience shame and judgement for expressing this pain as well as shame and judgement for expressing joy and happiness, this can lead to feelings of numbness, nothingness, and perhaps even emptiness. WHICH tends to lead to stress and anxiety because then you're like "WHY DO I FEEL NOTHING!? WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME!???" (Obviously please, go seek medical health care, talk to your doctor, talk to a therapist, everyone is different. This podcast is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for therapy or other healthcare services. ) We do learn certain behaviours and patterns as coping skills to keep us safe and this sense of numbness might be a result of something that you picked up along the way in order to function in your family, friend groups, relationships, workplace, and in society.

In this episode I jammed on:

• How to hold space for the duality of your emotions
• Shame, embarassment, anger, sadness frustration AND joy
• Old and outdated binary perspectives on the emotional spectrum
