You First- A Journey to Self

We all get lost comparing ourselves to others around us or online and sometimes it taints our confidence and ability to go after our dreams.

Being a mom and a boss mom while running a full-time business is an incredible testament to the strength, resilience, and multitasking abilities of women. It involves balancing the responsibilities and joys of motherhood with the challenges and demands of entrepreneurship.  My guest Dana has mastered the ability to flow through both of these roles so beautifully.  She challenges the idea that you are able to balance both roles and instead shares what has worked for her through starting her business at the same time she started having children.

In this week's episode, we will talk about how to set the standard on how you want to be treated in relationships by being vulnerable with those you care about.  Being vulnerable in our relationships is not about displaying weakness or seeking sympathy. Rather, it's about having the courage to expose our true selves, fears, and insecurities, knowing that it takes strength to be authentic. When we allow ourselves to be vulnerable, we create an environment that fosters trust, empathy, and emotional intimacy.

Remember, vulnerability is a choice and requires careful consideration of the people with whom we share our innermost selves. Not everyone will reciprocate vulnerability, and that's okay. But when we find those individuals who embrace and support us in our vulnerability, our relationships can transcend to new heights.

So, take a leap of faith, and dare to be vulnerable. Embrace the discomfort and uncertainty that comes with it, for it is in those moments that we pave the way for genuine connections and profound growth. Trust, authenticity, empathy, and resilience await those who have the courage to be truly vulnerable.

In this week's episode, we will talk about loving all parts of yourself as you grow and heal.  Loving yourself into growth is a powerful concept that emphasizes the importance of self-compassion, self-care, and self-acceptance as catalysts for personal development and growth. It involves cultivating a deep sense of love and appreciation for yourself, recognizing your worth, and nurturing a positive relationship with yourself.

To love yourself into growth means acknowledging your strengths, talents, and accomplishments, while also embracing your flaws, imperfections, and areas for improvement. It's about treating yourself with kindness, understanding, and forgiveness, just as you would with a dear friend or loved one. 

My guest Carrie Riggin and I have had multiple girlfriend talks about this subject and we wanted to let you into our thoughts and own struggles.

Attaching ourselves to outcomes is a common tendency rooted in our desire for control, security, and a sense of validation. We often believe that achieving a specific outcome will bring us happiness, success, or fulfillment. However, becoming too attached to these outcomes can lead to frustration, disappointment, and a narrow perspective on what is possible. Learning to detach ourselves from outcomes can be liberating and can help us achieve a greater sense of inner peace and genuine fulfillment. On this weeks episode I will let you guys know how to truly release attachments and become a magnet to everything you've ever wanted!

In this episode, we explore the concept of having a mental, physical, and emotional reset, emphasizing the importance of self-care and holistic well-being. I give you different signs to look out for that might be your body's way of signaling you to slow down and rest.

It is crucial to remember that every person's situation is unique, and what works for one individual may not work for another. I encourage my listeners to approach any lifestyle changes or new practices with caution and to really tune in with their bodies.
