In this Tao Dialogues, David explores the topic of self-love and self-compassion.

Have you ever wondered why you find it easy to love others but struggle to direct that same love inward? Do you often seek validation from external sources, believing your worth must be earned? Have you ever felt disconnected from yourself, as if your emotions and thoughts belong to someone else? This episode explores the answers to these questions.

Many believe love is something external, a gift to be received rather than a force that originates within. Yet, if we look deeper, we see that love is an incredible emotion that we create. Like the Tao, it is boundless and flows effortlessly when we allow it.

Learn how to manage and resolve the fear of failure and become confident in your worth and potential.

This episode explores the fear of failure and how it impacts our lives. Often, life can seem like a race to succeed, and when we stumble, self-doubt creeps in. But fear of failure isn't something to be conquered; it’s something to understand. 

Failure isn't an endpoint; it's a stepping stone for self-development. Fear of failure doesn’t have to control us. By understanding and working with our Inner Child, we can transform fear into a tool for growth and reach our potential.

Understand the impact of childhood rejection in adulthood and discover transformative techniques to help you heal and thrive.

Childhood rejection and neglect often leave a lasting imprint on our emotional and mental wellbeing and shape how we perceive ourselves and interact with the world as adults.

Those who experienced childhood rejection might engage in people-pleasing, perfectionism, or rescuing behaviours in relationships. They may also struggle with trust and self-identity, feeling disconnected from their true selves. This can result in a pattern of seeking validation from others, often in relationships that are imbalanced or unhealthy. The Inner Child also often remains vigilant, constantly seeking evidence to confirm its fears of rejection and unworthiness.

In this episode, we delve into the complexities of childhood rejection and explore how it manifests in adulthood, along with some transformative techniques to heal and thrive.

With your hosts, David James Lees (ordained Taoist monk, emotional and spiritual health teacher) and Alexandra Lees (mindset and business coach).

We hope to publish a new Tao Dialogue every third Saturday.

This first Tao Dialogue explores the topic of emotional sensitivity. Sensitivity is often seen as a vulnerability but it can be a powerful force for personal growth and deep connection if managed correctly. In a world where strength is often equated with force, you’ll discover how to redefine sensitivity as your superpower!
