    In the final episode of this season, we're unpacking the messy beauty of being human and what it means to live an integrated life—not as someone who has “arrived,” but as someone who is always arriving. With honesty and humor (as per usual :D) we're addressing the hard truths about over-functioning and learned helplessness, while reminding eachother that becoming the healthiest, “youiest” version of yourself isn't just for you but for your relationships, your community and for the world.Never forget that you are a work in progress AND a masterpiece. When you own your full humanity, you make space to love others more fully too. Being you, exactly as you are, are making a difference!

    Self-mastery isn't about being perfect. It's about taking the time to recognize where we feel stuck, overwhelmed, or helpless, and choosing to grow anyway. Whether it's emotional triggers, unhealthy patterns, or just a feeling that you're not living authentically as your true self, it's about identifying these areas without judgment and working with through it. We know we will never have it all figured out, but when we commit to the process of becoming more self-aware, and more intentional (even when it's messy) we are confident we will all be better for it! Ask yourself this - In what area of life do you find the greatest degree of helplessness?

    Oftentimes, when we talk about shame, it's talked about in the ways that it can make you feel stuck, but what if it could also be apart of our path to resilience? When we take time to face our shame with honesty and self-compassion, we can find an outlet to build strength, confidence, and a deeper sense of self-worth. Join us this week as we continue to work through our own journey's of #rebecoming and reminding ourselves that on the other side of facing all the tough stuff, we will find pieces of ourselves that we may have only dreamed of. We are worth the hard work! We are worth the time it takes to get there! And we don't have to do this alone!

    For many of us we were taught to be strong, to keep it together, to push through whatever life throws our way. But what if real strength is found in letting ourselves be seen—imperfections and all? Let's be clear: Vulnerability isn't weakness! It's a beautiful way for us to find deep connection, show our true selves to others and grow together. In this episode, we're breaking down the myths, the challenges and beauty behind vulnerability, while exploring how embracing it can lead to more authentic relationships, self-acceptance, and even unexpected strength. Leaning in. Opening up. That's real strength.

    We've all heard the phrase "fake it til you make it" before but what does it really mean? At times, we know it as a powerful way of pushing ourselves outside our comfort zones, helping us to build skills, or grow into the person we want to be. But what about the times when “faking it” turns into hiding who we truly are?Are we building confidence, or just playing a role? Are we pushing ourselves forward, or just covering up insecurities?

    Are the stories we tell ourselves keeping us stuck in fear, doubt, or self-sabotage? Are they holding us back and preventing us from opportunities, relationships or truly understanding ourselves?

On this week's episode, Gillian and Dr.Merry continue working through Dr. Merry's recent book release of #rebecoming and focusing on what it means to step out of our shadow self and into who we truly are.

    How does shame show up in your life, and what would it feel like to let it go? In this episode, we explore the deep, often hidden impact of shame—where it originates, how it shapes our thoughts and actions, and why it can feel so overwhelming. Together, we'll uncover ways to recognize shame's influence and take steps toward releasing its hold.

    Have you ever felt like your brain is stuck in 'survival mode'? This week, Gillian and Laura are back, and they are diving into the first chapter of Dr. Merry's book "Rebecoming". This episode discusses our 'Stone-Age Brain' and how living in survival mode has shaped us and how it still influences us today. Learning more about our survival instincts and understanding the emotions that trigger them provides us with opportunities to reflect and address how we desire to change and grow in this stage of our lives. So, what's your survival instinct? How has it impacted you and your relationships over time? As we take this journey of #rebecoming together, consider what responses are no longer serving you and how you might want to make changes in this area of your life. Lastly, we are not going to be covering Chapter 2 on the podcast as it's a review of the attachment theories, which we covered in a previous episode with great insight from Dr. Merry. Check out Season 1 - Episode 019, as it will give great context about attachment and be very helpful as we continue to reflect on #rebecoming together! https://www.thefullylived.life/019-healthy-parents-healthy-kids/ Watch on Youtube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@thefullylivedlife⁠⁠⁠⁠ Dr. Merry's website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://drmerry.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ Dr. Merry's book: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/Drmerry⁠⁠⁠ (click on shop) Dr. Lin & Associates: ⁠⁠⁠⁠http://drlinandassociates.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ Gillian's Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://gillianmcshane.com⁠⁠⁠⁠

She helps us to understand what happens inside our body when that gut feeling kicks in, and what else we need to be aware of.  Are gut feelings real?  Can they be relied on at all times?  Are they present-focused, future-focused or can they be both?  Are gut feelings ever wrong?  What is “The Wise Mind” and how do our emotions play a factor in this?  As promised, we've included a great resource from this week's episode below.

    HELLO SPARKLE FRIDAY! Today is a very special day as we are borrowing some inspiration from a woman we admire @awomancalledgeorge and inviting you to join the party! Without giving too much away from the episode, let's start by asking yourself these few questions…. - What does it look like when I truly show up for myself? - How does it make me feel? Now ask yourself this….“When I'm around other people…”
 - In what ways do I make myself “less than”? - Do I dumb myself down? - Do I make myself quiet? - Why do I feel the need to do so? Although this episode brought alot of laughter and fun, it was such an important and honest conversation around the efforts we go through to show up as our true selves. We hope it brings you encouragement and confidence to all who listen!

We know that changes require effort and that can be uncomfortable and disrupt our feelings of peace at the time. When we become unmoveable and stagnant, we can create long-term damage and that's why it's so important to keep moving, keep growing and staying open to change. If we're really honest with ourselves though, we don't have the time to keep sleeping through life, relationships and circumstances that are bringing us true, genuine peace.
