Hi all! Our intention to cultivate more authenticity on All (Em)bracing sparked the topic for today’s episode! Stagnant seasons are a human experience so many of us share, yet many people [us included!] can be so quick to “fix” those feelings of being stuck. We forget the importance of validating our full emotions by honestly acknowledging the point we are at today with no expectation of “fixing”. In our 55th episode, we discuss how honoring and embracing even the not-so-fun stuck feelings is so healthy + important. As always, we’re rooting for you + hope even one bit of this conversation sparks some encouragement in your soul. Episode fifty-five of our All (Em)bracing Series.

We’re tackling the topic of burnout this episode after both of us experienced it this past week feeling exhausted, unmotivated, or simply in a funk. The purpose of this episode is to reinforce the unity we have as human beings who all experience seasons similar to this. If you are feeling this way frequently though, we encourage you to talk to a loved one and seek professional guidance [we are not therapists ;)]. In its entirety, we think there is a lot of value in sharing the unmotivated and exhausted times just as much as the ambitious and encouraging seasons. There is so much freedom in allowing ourselves to acknowledge how we’re truly feeling and we realize the goodness that is unleashed when internal guilt is fought with grace of the heart.
