Find Your Beautiful You Podcast

Have you ever found yourself wondering, “Would anyone reach out if I stopped trying so hard?” That quiet ache of not being chosen, not being invited, or not feeling truly seen—it's real. And it hurts. In this deeply personal episode, I open up about a conversation with my daughter that mirrored a theme I see not only in my clients, but in myself: the ache of wanting to belong, to be picked, to matter without effort. We talk about: Why being overlooked triggers something deeper than just disappointment The neuroscience behind why this ache sticks with us (even when we are loved) The subtle ways we abandon ourselves trying to be chosen A simple yet powerful walkthrough to start healing this ache in real time How to reconnect to the part of you that's waiting to be seen by you This isn't about pretending it doesn't hurt. It's about learning how to stay present with the ache, how to honor what's real, and how to come home to yourself in the moments you feel most invisible. If you've been in a long season of “hard,” if you feel like you're white-knuckling your way through connection, or if you're simply tired of always initiating—this is for you.

Episode Summary: In today's episode, we're diving into the concept of holding space—what it means to be present for others and ourselves in moments of intense emotion without judgment, interruption, or the urge to fix. This is a core element of emotionally strong leadership, and it's foundational for creating authentic, lasting connections. Inspired by a powerful video of a dad holding space for his daughter's big emotions, we'll explore how this simple act can transform relationships and deepen our own emotional resilience. Holding space isn't just for others; it's also a skill we can cultivate to better support ourselves. Tune in to discover how to embrace this transformative practice in your own life. Topics Covered: What Does It Mean to Hold Space? We define what holding space truly means and why it's more than just being physically present. Learn why this practice involves active patience, empathy, and the ability to stay grounded. Why Holding Space Matters: Holding space creates a safe environment where people feel seen, accepted, and free to be themselves. For us, it's an opportunity to grow our own emotional resilience and practice deeper empathy and connection. Examples of Holding Space in Different Scenarios: Holding Space for Others' Emotions: How to be there for someone without jumping in to fix or solve. Holding Space for Ourselves: Learning how to be there for ourselves during difficult emotions without rushing to change or judge what we're feeling. Practical Tips to Start Holding Space Today: Discover simple techniques for cultivating this skill in your life, including grounding yourself, practicing non-judgmental listening, making room for silence, and fostering self-compassion. Key Takeaways: Holding space is an active choice to allow others (and ourselves) to experience emotions fully, without judgment or the need to fix. Emotionally strong leadership requires presence, patience, and stability. By practicing this with others, we create a space for genuine connection and trust. Holding space for ourselves can be deeply transformative, helping us embrace all parts of ourselves with compassion and acceptance. Action Steps: Reflect on how you currently respond to others' emotions. Are you quick to give advice or fix? Practice simply listening without needing to solve. Try holding space for yourself by setting aside time to sit with your emotions without judgment. Start with just a few minutes, acknowledging what you're feeling and allowing it to be there. Ground yourself with a few deep breaths next time someone shares something emotional. It will help you stay present and supportive without absorbing their energy. Quotes: “Holding space isn't passive—it's an active choice to set aside your own discomfort, your need to fix, and allow others to be as they are.” “Emotionally strong leadership begins with the willingness to hold space, both for ourselves and those we lead.” Show Notes: Here Connect with Me: Email: chantel@chantelallencoaching.com  Website: www.chantelallencoaching.com  Instagram:@chantelallencoaching If you're wanting to grab a 1:1 spot to learn how to connect more to yourself-  sign up with this link here.

Join Chantel Allen as she explores the "haunted house" within each of us—the place where the "ghosts" of our past live. These aren't ghosts to be feared, but parts of ourselves that show up to be acknowledged and healed. In this episode, Chantel shares why so many of us feel haunted by old stories, limiting beliefs, and past experiences, and how these “ghosts” show up in our lives. Through the analogy of a haunted house, she explains how to navigate these internal characters, bring compassion to each room in our inner "house," and ultimately free ourselves from past wounds. This episode is a must-listen if you're ready to turn on the lights within, face your fears, and welcome every part of yourself. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why the ghosts of our past aren't here to harm us but to teach us. How the different characters within us—like the hustler, the perfectionist, or the "not good enough" self—are like ghosts in our inner house. Why acknowledging and understanding these parts of ourselves is essential for self-compassion and growth. How to go through your inner house, turning on lights of love and acceptance, and welcoming each part with kindness. The importance of letting go of linear thinking about our past to release the hold of old, unhealed parts of ourselves. Practical steps for embracing and creating a safe space for every part of who you are. Key Takeaways: You Are the House: No matter what "ghosts" or old characters appear, you are the whole and complete structure. The ghosts are just parts of you, not the entirety of who you are. Why Ghosts Appear: Just like traditional ghost stories, our inner ghosts need to be heard and understood. They're asking for attention, not avoidance. Creating Space for All Parts of You: Learn how to welcome each part of yourself—even the parts that feel "not good enough" or fearful—with compassion. Each part has something valuable to teach. Embrace, Don't Fix: Instead of fixing these parts, create a safe, loving “house” within you where each part can exist peacefully. Just like a loving home, you are safe and complete just as you are. Reflection Questions: Who are the "ghosts" or characters that show up in your life? What are they trying to tell you? How can you create more space for these parts of yourself? What does it mean for you to turn on the lights of love and acceptance in your inner “house”?

In this episode, we dive into the important distinction between feeling your emotions and reacting to them. Often, we think we're processing our emotions, but we're really avoiding them—whether through distraction, busying ourselves, or even clinging to others. I share stories from clients who have transformed their emotional experiences by learning to sit with their feelings, instead of running from them. We'll explore how staying present with your emotions, even the uncomfortable ones, leads to deeper connection, more freedom, and lasting joy. I also provide practical tools you can start using today, including a daily body scan exercise, journaling prompts, and insights into how to embrace your emotions without letting them control you. What You'll Learn: How to recognize when you're reacting to your emotions instead of feeling them. Why avoiding your emotions creates disconnection and keeps you stuck. The importance of staying in the room with your emotions and allowing them to move through you. How to bring compassion to the parts of yourself that are feeling shame, grief, or other heavy emotions. A practical daily body scan exercise to help you become more emotionally aware. Journal prompts to deepen your relationship with your emotions. Key Takeaways: Feeling vs. Reacting: Emotions are meant to be felt in the body, not analyzed or avoided. Recognizing whether you're reacting to your emotions (through distractions or overthinking) or truly feeling them is the first step to emotional freedom. Story of Grief & Connection: One client realized that her urge to cling to her son's childhood moments was a way to avoid feeling the grief of him growing up. By staying present with the grief, she found clarity and was able to connect more deeply with herself. Compassion for Younger You: A client feeling shame visualized a 6-year-old version of herself hiding in a dark basement. By staying with the emotion and offering compassion to her younger self, she brought light to the shame without needing to 'fix' it. Practical Tools: Body Scan Exercise: A simple way to get out of your head and into your body. Spend a few minutes each day scanning for where you feel tension or sensations, and breathe into them without judgment. Journal Prompts: Use journaling to explore what emotions you avoid, how you typically react, and what it means to show compassion to yourself in those moments.

Episode Overview: In this episode, we dive deep into emotional exhaustion—what it is, how it affects us, and how to move through it. Whether you're a mom, leader, or coach, emotional exhaustion can creep in when you're constantly carrying the weight of others' emotions. Today, Chantel shares personal stories and real-world examples of how emotional exhaustion shows up, especially when you're supporting others, and offers actionable steps to process and complete your own emotional cycle so you can recharge and show up fully again. Key Takeaways: Emotional exhaustion is when we don't complete the emotional cycle—leaving us stuck and drained. It's common for moms, leaders, and coaches to experience emotional exhaustion because of how much we carry emotionally for others. Emotions have a beginning, middle, and end. Exhaustion happens when we don't finish this process. Recognizing, allowing, and processing your own emotions is key to breaking free from emotional exhaustion. Emotional exhaustion isn't about finding the "why" of your feelings; it's about feeling them all the way through, neck down, and giving your emotions space to move. Steps to Move Through Emotional Exhaustion: Recognize and name your emotions – Instead of thinking your way through, sink into your body and let yourself feel. Allow space for your emotions to process – Cry, feel sad, angry, or overwhelmed, but do it with intention. Complete the emotional cycle – Don't just stop when you're done helping others—take time to finish feeling what's come up for you personally. Guided Meditation: In the final part of this episode, Chantel leads a 10-minute guided meditation designed to help you identify and process any lingering emotions. This exercise helps you fully complete the emotional cycle and release any emotional exhaustion you may be carrying. COMING SOON: Don't forget! My new Emotional Coaching Mastery Program is opening soon, where we'll dive even deeper into these principles to help you process emotions and recharge so you can show up fully for yourself and those you lead.

One thing that has been very top-of-mind: Opposition. You know when you get in the groove and then suddenly life happens? It can be so frustrating and even tempting to throw yourself a pity party. But, what if that opposition was a sign that you're doing something right? Or, that you might be on the right path? I've found that the greatest lessons can come in the resistance that pops up between us and our goals. I know you've heard the saying “if it was easy, everybody would do it.” Even though it's overused, I've found that there's not much to learn or grow from when everything is smooth sailing. However, there are tools that can help you through the opposition without feeling frustrated or giving up. A big part of it can be changing your perspective from “why is this happening to me?” to “what is this teaching me?” And if you're eager to delve deeper into these transformative topics, consider joining our CALM Connection Project (CCP).

I want you to ponder a profound question: "What would love do?" This simple yet potent inquiry holds the key to unlocking our truest selves and guiding us towards a life filled with authenticity and alignment. In this episode, we unravel the dichotomy between the ego and the essence of love. Our ego often leads us astray, causing us to act in ways that betray our deepest values and desires. It can cloud our judgment, fueling fear, insecurity, and selfishness. But when we consciously choose to drop into our true selves, we tap into the boundless reservoir of love that resides within each of us. As we navigate the complexities of life, from decision-making dilemmas to challenging relationships, asking ourselves, "What would love do?" becomes our compass. It empowers us to act from a place of compassion, empathy, and authenticity. It simplifies the most intricate situations, guiding us towards choices that honor our higher selves and serve the greater good. Join us on this journey of self-discovery and transformation. Share this podcast with your loved ones and invite them to explore the profound implications of living by the mantra, "What would love do?"
