Couch Confessionals

On the very last episode in this series, I tie in all the previous episodes that culminate into my last message to you for the year - we are all worthy! This is your reminder that you inherently have worthy and are not defined by anybody or anything. This series was meant to hype you up before the new year and I have to say this last episode was FIRE. I hope you had an amazing holiday and a happy new year!Come hang out with me on IG: https://www.instagram.com/darlalopresti/ Follow the podcast: https://www.instagram.com/couchconfessionalspod/

Have you bought into the narrative that you have to do it all and be it all to feel powerful? In this week's episode, the third in the "We Are All..." series, I call B.S.! I talk about my own personal experience in claiming what I truly want for my future, which doesn't include the hustle and grind, and feeling the power because I'm being true to myself. I also give you some ways you can find your own personal power if you're just not feeling it right now. Come hang out with me on IG: https://www.instagram.com/darlalopresti/ Follow the podcast: https://www.instagram.com/couchconfessionalspod/

We're often convinced we need to do more, accomplish more, succeed more, and have more in order to feel like we're enough. On this episode of the podcast, the second of the December series, I debunk this limiting belief because...spoiler alert...you ALREADY ARE enough. More than enough! I give you some back story as to how I was reminded of this in my own life recently and how it's shaping my vision for my future. And because you're my peeps, I share something personal here first! Come hang out with me on IG: https://www.instagram.com/darlalopresti/ Follow the podcast: https://www.instagram.com/couchconfessionalspod/

Do you feel like you're kind of a weirdo? In this spicy episode I chat all about how your uniqueness is your superpower and your gift!

This episode is the first (following last week's episode) of a series I'm doing in December to pump you up and motivate you for the last month of the year.

Have you ever found yourself comparing your life or circumstances to someone else?  I'm there with you, sister! On this quickie episode I chat about a message I heard this past Sunday at church that I wanted to bring to you about how we're all essentially broken. We're all flawed, going through our own challenges, and none of us know what we're doing. Funny enough, I accidentally recorded this entire episode without the use of my expensive mic I purchased for podcasting. I only realized my mistake after I had already finished recording! I also give you some tips on what to do if you find yourself in a comparison trap, because these moments can shed some light on what we feel like we're missing. Enjoy! Did you hear?

If your 4-year-old self were to see you now, would she be proud of you? Oof, isn't that a loaded question?? On this episode I not only pose this question to you but I also answer it myself. The idea from this episode came to me as I reflected on a similar sentiment brought by a speaker at the EmpowerHer Live event I attended a couple weekends ago. This is a tough and confronting question, but I hope it either motivates you to keep going down the path your younger self would be proud of or be the inspiration you needed to hear to choose a different direction.Come hang out with me on IG @darlalopresti and the podcast @couchconfessionalspod!

**Trigger warning regarding suicidal ideations**This past weekend (Oct. 21-23, 2022) I attended my first ever live event called EmpowerHer Live!

On this episode I went a little rogue and shared something that I've never heard said before. This concept has been truly helping me on my personal development and entrepreneurial journey in moving past some blocks. I chat all about how everything you think is true, the good, the bad, and the ugly. You CHOOSE the thoughts you have and they create your reality. I also talk about how buying into negative and positive thoughts impact the trajectory of your life, so choose wisely. This is probably my favorite episode because it felt so chaotic to record because I was going out of my comfort zone but it's a message I felt called to share and is truly one of the most important things I've learned. I hope you enjoy!Come hang out with me on IG @darlalopresti and the podcast @couchconfessionalspod!

On this episode, I chat about something that was really difficult for me to come to terms with at first, which is that the changes we want to make in our lives can take time. We're nearing the end of the year which can make us feel the pressure to "succeed" before the New Year. We also see others doing "it" faster than us on social media which can make us feel like failures. I offer a different perspective on these stressors that will allow you to flip the script on your mindset and think more positively about your own path.Come follow me on IG @darlalopresti and the podcast @couchconfessionalspod!
