This Is My Truth

Today I talk about my recent, but always present, dance with resistance. How I recognize it, use it to my advantage & work through it. Because when we are living in our comfort zone, we're not actually living our lives. I also talk about my 30 day challenge to myself, which is to take 1 messy micro-action each day that will help me move through my resistance and get me out of my comfort zone into living my truth. 

What is 1 messy micro-action you can take over the next 30 days?

Today I chat with Jenn Sadai about her journey from being a drug-addicted thief who felt trapped in an abusive relationship to the confident & capable marathon-runner that she is today. Jenn is candid, honest & frank about her journey and I absolutely love that in her first book, a memoir, Dark Confessions of an Extraordinary, Ordinary Woman, her tag line is "Too many women suffer in silence. Today I am breaking mine." Statistics say that 1 in 4 women have been in an abusive relationship. Jenn breaking her silence creates space for others to see reflections of their own stories. 

You can follow Jenn's story & learn about her  7 other books on her website (www.jennsadai.com) or follow her on Instagram at @jennsadai.

In today's #MyTruthTuesday, I share a moment that I wrote about recently that dives into when we first learned L may need occupational therapy for some sensory input issues. Spoiler alert, I didn't handle it all that well, but as I was writing out my moment, I realized that I made a promise to my daughter and myself that day that I never fully realized. This is the power of writing out your moments. You get to realize sh*t you didn't before! 

Join us starting on Friday, July 10th for our Speak Your Moments of Truth Workshop series. More info here: https://www.jessishuraleff.com/workshops/speak-your-moments-of-truth-workshop-series

I hope you enjoy today's truth!

Today I have a conversation with Elizabeth Burgoon around her truth of self-advocacy. Elizabeth shares her journey with Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) during both her pregnancies, and how so often during today's day & age, when pregnant, medical care is solely focused on the fetus but not the mother. This story is one that anyone can relate to, whether you're a mother or not, because it touches on a key pillar of being human....listening to yourself & asking for what you need. 

You can continue to follow Elizabeth on her journey at http://www.prettygirlstalkingdirty.com/ or on Instagram at @prettygirlstalkingdirty.

Do any of these statements resonate with you?

If they do, you're not alone. In today's episode, I explore one of my own truths around body image. After stumbling upon the story of the Ugly Duckling in a kids book recently, it triggered a moment that I've often come back to, even though the moment is from when I was 12 or 13 years old. It was the moment I learned that hiding was easier than being seen, especially when it came to my body image.

Today I have a conversation with Rayna Rose Exelbierd. We explore her journey with grief after the sudden & unexpected loss of her father. Whether you've experienced the death of a loved one, or are just grieving the life as we used to know it pre-COVID 19, I think we can all learn from Rayna's journey. 

You can follow Rayna on her journey at https://sites.google.com/corp/view/therosegrows/home or on Instagram at @the_rose_grows.

I hope you enjoy the conversation!

Today I share #mytruthtuesday which is that I still, even 6 years later, 2 kiddos later, that I feel jealously & sadness when friends and family tell me their pregnant. I share a truth about a moment 5 years ago, when good friends told us they were pregnant with their second and how while I was thrilled for them, I was also sad for me. And that is OK. And it's OK that I still feel this way 6 years later. Because I still get jealous when people are able to get pregnant so easily and I still have to go through hoops, and jumps & (what feels like) fire to even consider having a 3rd baby. And yet, I feel grateful for the 2 little humans that I do have. So in this episode, I give me and you permission to feel all the feels. Because it's OK and life is messy. Be kind to yourself, feel your feelings, acknowledge them and understand how you can move forward.

Today I share a conversation with my friend, mentor & coach, Heather Chauvin. Heather shares about her journey living through stage 4 cancer, but at the heart, our conversation is about giving yourself permission. Giving yourself permission to ask yourself what you want, and then taking the ACTION needed to do whatever that thing is. 

A bit more about Heather:

Heather Chauvin is a leadership coach and strategic parenting expert who helps ambitious women become leaders at work and home.

Drawing from her professional experience as a social worker and her life experience raising three boys, Heather created a signature approach to focus her clients on sustainability, profitability and ease in business and life.

She is the host of the Mom Is In Control Podcast where she reveals her most vulnerable truths about womanhood, marriage, parenting, living through stage 4 cancer and running a successful business—without burning out.

Heather has been featured as a TEDx speaker and on The OWN Network, CTV, and The Jenny McCarthy Show. She has also appeared in Entrepreneur and Real Simple.

When Heather isn’t being a classic Canadian by driving her boys to hockey practice, you’ll find her curled up on the couch with her husband surfing the internet, researching their next family adventure.

“We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.” – Maya Angelou

Today on my walk I saw the same butterfly twice. And I was reminded about the changes that caterpillars go through in order to become a butterfly. Just like a butterfly, we each need to be the change we want to see in the world (Ghandi) and for me, that's looking inward, admitting how I can do better when it comes to being an ally of the black and brown community, how I can show up and use my privilege to support and make change. 

I've posted some anti-racism educational resources on my website here: https://www.jessishuraleff.com/stories-source/blacklivesmatter

I'd love to add to that list. Please DM me or Message me if you have other resources!
