Working Through the Fear of Rejection + Humiliation

46m · Published 14 May 00:07

In this juicy episode, I share what's been on my heart as of late, as I've been feeling some type of way after not having podcasted for months. I explore what's been going on over the last year re: my podcast and feeling safe to share and express my feelings. This episode is helpful for anyone struggling with being seen, being heard, sharing themselves and their truths, all of it! I feel that it's especially important especially moving into a new era of authenticity and the power of truth.

Listen as I discuss:

  • what is the fear of rejection?
  • why is it so bad to be rejected or humiliated?
  • the implications of brain functions and the never-ending quest for safety
  • where did I learn this fear in the first place?
  • how can we put an end to the shame and fear of rejection?
  • a quick way to self-soothe when feeling discomfort and fear

Navigating Comparison & Trusting Your Unique Journey

0s · Published 08 Mar 15:36

Comparing ourselves is like a humankind pastime, we've been doing it for so long. But why would we want to support these beliefs that we aren't good enough? Today, we get right into the conversation about how we have been conditioned to compare ourselves to others and what others deem as successful. Instead of being proud of ourselves for all of our beautiful gifts and talents, we shame ourselves for not being like someone else or being different. What would it be like to replace this shame with love? Acceptance? Belonging?

In this episode, I share about:

  • my recent experience facing comparison
  • why it's sometimes not easy to "trust where you're at"
  • why our egos get triggered when comparing
  • the shoulds and how we can learn to let go
  • our uniqueness and how it's incomparable
  • some reframes I have used to clear my mind
  • why I believe you're right where you're meant to be

Honoring The Season You're In

30m · Published 18 Nov 18:51

As beings of nature, we experience cycles and seasons in which we grow, harvest, rest, and bloom. However, capitalism had a different idea. Instead of following the seasons and their different energetic requirements, we now face burnout and frustration trying to keep up with creating and producing 24/7. Not only is this unhealthy for our well-being, but it's also against the natural flow of nature. In this episode, I share my recent experience with becoming aware of my own burnout and relationship to productivity.

Living With Cystic Fibrosis, Embracing Vulnerability, and the Road to Healing With Luisa Palazola

2h 27m · Published 28 Jul 17:09

I'm super excited to bring you this episode, featuring an interview with my friend, Luisa Palazola.

Having been diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at a young age, Luisa has dealt with many challenges and obstacles that some of us will never face, like countless hospital visits, breathing treatments, and keeping up with what society deems "normal". She shares her story with so much vibrance, humor, and authenticity despite the rough couple of decades in her rearview mirror. Now that her life has taken a complete 180, she discusses reevaluating her identity, learning to embrace her not-so-perfect parts, and the importance of vulnerability as human beings.

In this episode, Luisa and I talk about

  • living with cystic fibrosis (from diagnosis to now)
  • identity as a fluid construct
  • embracing vulnerability + authenticity
  • mind-body connection
  • doing things the "right" way
  • chronic illness + mental health
  • learning to carry shame (self-imposed + societal expectations)
  • importance of trusting yourself
  • practicing gratitude

Cultivating Peace From Within

0s · Published 17 Jun 17:14

In times of chaos, it seems nearly impossible to find peace. But when we can understand the biological reaction that is happening in times of fear and danger, we can actually tap into the natural rhythms and processes of our body. In this episode, we talk about the basic neuroscience behind danger, reactivating relaxing body states, and ways that we can find our way back to baseline.
