Have you ever wanted to just say NO to something bothered or tormented you for over half your life? If you want to find the personal power to say no and set a hard and important boundary- then you’re in luck because that’s what today’s show is all about! Recently I set a boundary that was very brave: I refused to do the routine "step on the scale" at the doctor’s office. 

So on today's pod I take you through my journey to muster up the courage to say no to something that had been haunting me for over 20 years - so much shame, self-hatred, sadness and feelings of not-enoughness wrapped up in that one phrase, "jump on the scale for me". In this episode, you'll gain tools that you can use to do the same (never get on a scale again) or other brave acts and you'll also learn the importance of taking a moment to feel pride in the acts of courage in your own life that may seem small, but that we're actually years in the making. 

Also before listening, I will give you a little trigger warning that there will be in-depth discussion of body image and eating disorders, so if that is too hard for you to hear right now, then maybe skip the episode for the moment, but I'd encourage you to come back to it when you feel more able to hear it, because there is a really important message here for those of us that have been through eating disorders and body image issues.

On today’s episode, you’ll hear me coach one of our amazing creative community members, she's a listener of the show named Nicolette. Nicolette is a writer--she has kept a journal her whole life and recently transitioned her journal entries and writing into an instagram page called @LoveOnHerHeart.

Through the page she seeks to share her journey and vulnerability in order to help people feel less alone and to encourage them to share their story, as well. However, lately she has been feeling blocked. She has gotten stuck on small things that stop so many of us--like how to pair the right images with her words. That’s where this coaching session comes in! 

On today’s episode, you’ll hear a bit of Nicolette’s creative journey, as well as my ideas and advice on how she can get into creative flow and grow her page, so her writing can connect with more people. I truly LOVED our time. Coaching is one of my favorite things in the world, I hope that by listening to this you’ll get some ideas for your own life and creative journey.

ALSO! If you’re ever interested in doing a coaching session with me, please reach out via direct message on instagram @UnleashYourInnerCreative or by emailing [email protected]. It would be my honor to help you unleash and expand!

Enjoy the show xoxo!
