Co-Host Kamini Wood (https//mountaintoppodcast.com/wood) My returning guest Kamini Wood is a human potential coach, and commentator on male/female relationships. I invited her feminine self to join me for a down-to-earth discussion about how women tend to define what a 'real man' is to them. Now for sure, as a grown-ass man you definitely will define yourself, whether you like it or not. But...given how masculinity and femininity are the catalysts of sexual attraction, if you'd like to make women crazy about you sexually, it would be a fantastic idea to find out what the consider to be masculine. Well, it turned out to be quite the disruptive conversation, as Kamini went headfirst into talking about how we as men need to be more in tune with our emotional selves. But what's the difference between being 'in our feminine' if we do that vs. staying true to being a real man? Apparently, it's tricky. What does Kamini have to say about the ways women look to men to create true safety and security? Why do so many guys clam up when it's time to say something, and then say that which should have been left unsaid? Is it all in the name of being 'stoic'? How do women tend to feel about men bringing out their 'dark side' in certain situations? What if we've really been beaten down by the pressures of life lately? Should we not burden our significant other with those feelings, or what? Overall, expect a reset from this episode with regard to what women think masculine 'weakness' looks like compared to how we as men tend to view it.

Do you ever feel like you're not good enough, even when you're succeeding? In this episode, I'm joined by the incredible Kamini Wood, who specializes in helping high achievers break free from imposter syndrome and self-sabotage. Kamini is a certified life coach, best-selling author, and founder of Live Joy Your Way and AuthenticMe®. She helps high-achievers overcome self-doubt, limiting beliefs, and people-pleasing behaviors to lead more fulfilling personal and professional lives. Growing up as a first-generation American, she experienced the pressure of seeking external validation, which inspired her journey of self-discovery. Now, she empowers others to reclaim their authenticity, heal their relationships with themselves, and stop outsourcing their self-worth. She holds certifications in life coaching, wellness, high-performance coaching, and conscious parenting. Kamini's unique approach helps her clients achieve personal and professional fulfillment. In our discussion, we explore the impact of imposter syndrome and how it stems from feelings of "not being enough" or "not deserving." Kamini provides practical strategies for recognizing and addressing these feelings by reconnecting with your core self and values. We also discuss self-sabotage as a form of self-protection and how to break free from it. Key Takeaways: Imposter syndrome often originates from limiting beliefs of not being good enough or deserving of success. Self-sabotage is a form of self-protection, often used to prevent failure but ultimately hinders growth. Kamini emphasizes the importance of self-compassion and learning to honor your feelings and emotions without judgment. Breaking free from the cycle of self-doubt requires self-awareness, re-aligning with your values, and taking small steps toward self-leadership. Healing your relationship with yourself allows you to model healthy behavior, particularly for your children, as Kamini realized through her journey of motherhood.

It's about how you learn to either live with it or find that relationship with those things." - Kamini Wood"If we look at just the human race, yes, we're all human beings, but we all have a unique quality. There's one message that I'd love for people to hear it's, Hey, your uniqueness is actually the gift that this world needs." - Kamini Wood"I think the one thing that I would say is that with self-sabotage, people will constantly say, I want to stop self-sabotaging if we want to stop something instead of just, we would have stopped it already if we could, right? So the idea, it's a shift. Okay. I'm noticing the self-sabotage isn't serving me. So if I got curious about the self-sabotage, what's behind it, right?" - Kamini WoodResources:

Interestinggg. And if you think about how overcoming perfectionism plays a role in this idea...wowee. Human Potential Coach, Speaker, and Podcast Host Kamini Wood joins Erin on the pod today to discuss: Her own personal relationships with people-pleasing and perfectionism that began at a young age and how she's working through them How to meet someone where they are, not try to get them to fit into the box you have for them What a values-based action is and how to start taking more of them Kamini shares her concrete method for calling out your perfectionism and recalibrating in order to avoid perfectionism paralysis. If you're a recovering perfectionist and/or people-pleaser – this is the episode for you. Special sprinkles on top of this episode: Why it's not about not caring what others' think, it's about not making their reaction dictate what you choose to do Kindness > judgment How to get rid of perfectionism? Celebrate your successes. Embrace mistakes as learning opportunities. Set reasonable expectations. Break tasks into smaller steps and start simple. Remind yourself that perfection is not necessary. Limit your time on tasks. -calm.com What is the root cause of perfectionism? Perfectionism can be caused by conditions like Generalized Anxiety and OCD, as well as family, cultural, and workplace expectations.

“The unshaming process is bringing out into the forefront all of that stuff that we're telling ourselves, because shame is really saying that there's something wrong with me. By naming it out loud, we're taking all of the wind out of its sails.” –Kamini WoodAre you holding yourself back without even realizing it? I'm really excited to talk with Kamini Wood, a certified life coach, about limiting beliefs. She shows us how to reign in people pleasing and perfectionism and overcome the beliefs we have that hold us back.We see a lot of people pleasing and perfectionism in the PlanSimple community, so we started there. Kamini says that overcoming people pleasing starts with getting clear about your needs and values. When you've reconnected with that you can begin to realign your actions and step out of the people pleasing role.Then pay attention to your body. It may take a little time to learn your own cues, but notice what happens when you start people pleasing. Practice self-talk to see what's happening and what you really want. Kamini recommends actually talking aloud to yourself. It feels weird at first, but it's important.We talk about: Perfectionism and “next-ing” Separating out values you were brought up with to what is really meaningful to you nowWhy we avoid boundaries … and why we need themLearning how to hold boundaries (it's something we need to learn!)Shaming ourselves and the unshaming processHelping kids navigate perfectionism and people pleasingABOUT KAMINIKamini Wood, a certified life coach, helps high-achievers heal their relationships with themselves.

The first step to break out of people pleasing is to recognize your own needs and values. Take some time to think about what you actually need, believe and value yourself. This can be an ongoing process. You can start by asking yourself questions like: What's going on here? Is this something you actually want to do? Is this really what you agree with?
