In "Storytime with Selena," I unveil one of the most impactful lessons I've gained through therapy! Let’s get vulnerable as I highlight the power of embracing rather than eliminating different aspects of oneself.

In this thought-provoking episode, I reflect on her own experiences with counseling, tracing back to a high school teacher's suggestion and the subsequent discovery of counseling services. I will take you through my journey of identifying and acknowledging various aspects of yourself, including anxiety, perfectionism, and learning disabilities.

You will be treated to a visual exploration of my mental landscape, where various "parts" of her personality gather around a metaphorical table. This episode becomes a guide for self-reflection, encouraging individuals to identify and embrace their own complexities. With a call to action, I share a practical exercise for you to engage in, urging you to draw circles on paper, assign colors to different traits, and start a journey of mindfulness and self-awareness. As she concludes. I hope you love yourself a little extra and navigate personal growth with grace and acceptance.

Welcome to the Season Finale of our podcast! In this episode, we delve into the power of setting intentions for our lives through objectives and passion, and the realization that each of us is on a unique journey.

The conversation takes off as I share a conversation that unfolded during a recent road trip with a close friend. Reflecting on our past experiences and the twists and turns life has brought us, we explore the profound impact of the present moment in shaping who we are. One aspect we touch upon is the feeling of being behind in life. We acknowledge that many of us have experienced this sentiment, but we also recognize the importance of letting go of societal expectations and comparisons. We celebrate the diversity of our paths and highlight that being in a different place than our peers doesn't imply being on the wrong track.

We challenge the notion that success follows a specific formula and emphasize the beauty of pursuing unconventional paths. The detrimental effects of comparison become a central theme as I acknowledge that comparing ourselves to others is a joy killer. I emphasize the significance of celebrating our accomplishments, no matter how small, and acknowledging the sacrifices made along the way.

I also share some insights gained over the past months, focusing on the transformative power of letting go. Expressing initial confusion, weariness, and a desire for instant clarity, I discovered the importance of reframing her objectives. Shifting from a mindset of lack to abundance, she realized that she holds the power to define her purpose and find joy in her everyday life. By choosing to have fun and be intentional with her time, she embraced the objective of joy and positivity for the remainder of 2023.

Listeners are encouraged to examine their own objectives, redefine them positively, and reframe their perspectives on their unique journeys. Embracing change and acknowledging the challenges that come with pursuing different paths, we emphasize the importance of self-compassion along the way.

Join us in this Season Finale as I celebrate the beauty of individual journeys and explore the transformative power of redefining objectives and letting go of comparison. Thank you for listening, your support and we'll see you in Season 3!
