But beneath was a quiet, relentless self-loathing she couldn't shake. In her memoir, The Order of Things, Sarah shares the profound turning point at 40 when she finally asked, is this how it's going to feel forever? She unpacks why therapy isn't linear, how grief can deepen gratitude, and the freedom that comes when we stop performing and start genuinely living.Feeling stuck?

In this Episode: In this episode of the Achieve Results Now podcast, Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt tackle the pervasive issue of self-sabotage, particularly how it prevents individuals from achieving their goals, even when working hard. They argue that self-sabotage often manifests as focusing on low-priority tasks, fearing big challenges, and making excuses, rather than taking high-value actions. They propose three action steps to overcome self-sabotage: 1. Set Yourself Up for Success with Small, Intentional Changes: The hosts emphasize breaking down seemingly overwhelming tasks into tiny, manageable steps. They advocate for not assigning difficulty to tasks and scheduling even short, 15-minute high-priority actions to ensure they get done. Preparation, like having materials ready, is also crucial to prevent small hurdles from becoming excuses. 2. Challenge and Reframe Your Inner Dialogue: This step focuses on confronting negative self-talk and imposter syndrome. The hosts suggest asking empowering questions like "Is someone less capable than me doing this right now?" and actively replacing negative thoughts with positive ones. They highlight the importance of reframing past experiences and setting aspirational goals based on future potential, not past limitations. Surrounding yourself with inspiring individuals and mentors who have achieved what you aspire to is also vital. 3. Practice Self-Compassion and Build Resilience: Acknowledging that setbacks are a natural part of any journey is key. The hosts stress the importance of not judging yourself harshly for minor slip-ups but instead treating yourself with the same compassionate yet direct advice you'd offer a friend. They emphasize focusing on "progress, not perfection," looking back at how far you've come rather than only at the distant goal, to build mental and physical strength to take on more challenges. Ultimately, the episode encourages listeners to confront their internal barriers, take deliberate small actions, and foster a resilient mindset to achieve life-shifting results.

As we go forward to prioritize the unique concept of mental beauty, episode 114 of the Dare To Share Your Untold Story Podcast, Mental Beauty Segments, Extracting the Beauty Tangled in Knots of Fear-Based Living. In relation to this episode topic the prior episode 71 has been selected for further exploration and deeper dive. In episode 71, titled “Untangling Beauty from Her Tangled Web of Fears”, with guest, Garcia Hanson. Her journey is a profound example of what it takes to break free from the grip of fear and self-doubt. Her story sheds light on how we can find resilience, self-worth, and ultimately, beauty within the messiness of life's challenges. Her journey truly embodies the essence of Mental Beauty. It's a testament to the transformational power of embracing vulnerability and using it as a tool for growth. When we consistently prioritize our mental and emotional well-being, we unlock the ability to live more fully. Garcia highlights this beautifully when she says: “The definition of success is the grace to make changes.” This idea resonates deeply—it's about breaking free from fear, making room for growth, and allowing ourselves the space to redefine success on our terms. Garcia reminds us, success doesn't come from perfection or from meeting external expectations. Instead, it's rooted in finding the courage to untangle those knots and embrace our true selves. Garcia's Mental Beauty Rethink challenges us to confront the hidden fears and self-doubt that often define our lives. Her story is a powerful reminder that behind every perfect facade lies a more complex, vulnerable reality. 3 Practical ‘Mental Beauty Tips' inspired by Episode 114: Name and Reframe Your Fears: Start by naming the fears you feel. Write them down, and identify any underlying beliefs tied to these fears—such as “I'm not enough,” or “I'll be judged.” Reframe these beliefs by challenging their validity and reminding yourself of what's true about you. For example, replace "I'm not enough" with "I am doing my best, and I deserve to be valued." Reframing gives you a more supportive inner voice, allowing you to embrace self-acceptance while seeing fears for what they are: mental constructs, not certainties. Practice Self-Compassion with Small Acts of Courage: Fear often keeps us from stepping outside our comfort zone. Start by taking small, manageable actions toward self-acceptance. For instance, say “no” to a request when you're already overwhelmed, or express a genuine feeling with someone you trust. Each small act of courage helps you build resilience and reinforces the message that you're worthy of acceptance, exactly as you are. Visualize Success and Lean into Your Values: Visualization is a powerful tool for reprogramming your mind to view unfamiliar situations more positively. Spend a few minutes each day picturing yourself navigating challenges with confidence and strength. Tie this practice to your core values—ask yourself how embracing courage or acceptance aligns with your true values (e.g., authenticity, growth, love). Visualizing yourself succeeding in alignment with your values strengthens your resolve to act, helping you move from a fear-driven mindset toward one where you can live freely, guided by your truest self. Episode 114 Takeaway: A self-care tool called ‘Mindful Grounding': This involves taking a few intentional moments each day to pause, breathe, and reconnect with your immediate surroundings. Begin by finding a quiet place, then close your eyes and take three deep breaths, focusing on the sensation of the breath as it fills your lungs and leaves your body. Once you feel centred, open your eyes and slowly observe five things you can see, four things you can feel, three things you can hear, two things you can smell, and one thing you can taste. This grounding exercise gently pulls your mind away from anxious thoughts by anchoring you in the present moment. Of course, remember, if you want to share something amazing that you would like to have a shout out for on your behalf, just send an e-mail to mentalbeautycommunity@gmail.com.

Key Takeaways:Release the Outcome: Don't tie your self-worth to others' decisions. Focus on effort and preparation, and give people the power to make empowered choices.Reframe Rejection as Protection: Rejection isn't failure; it's feedback. Use nos as opportunities to refine your approach and understand that timing and fit matter more than personal rejection.Build Relationships First: Prioritize authentic connections over immediate outcomes. Listen to people's needs, validate their concerns, and create mutually beneficial interactions.Practice Self-Compassion and Persistence: Acknowledge disappointment quickly, but don't dwell on it. Keep moving forward, stay in action, and remember that “no”s are part of ultimately getting to yes. “Your job is not to convince people to do anything. Your job is to help somebody make an empowered decision.” “Remember, relationship first. The money will follow.” “We can sometimes perceive them as rejection, but objections are just people trying to figure out how this could fit and work for them in a way that feels right to them.” - Maryanne Dersch Ask for and receive all you want, need and deserve without feeling rejected, ineffective, or pushy.

Listen to Episode 25: APPLE SPOTIFY YOUTUBE SITE As we extend to prioritize the unique concept of mental beauty, episode 107 of the Dare To Share Your Untold Story Podcast, Mental Beauty Segments, focuses on re-gaining control even when you feel stripped of having control. In relation to this episode topic the prior episode 25 has been selected for further exploration and deeper dive. In episode 25, titled: ““The Dis-ease of Trauma, Murder & Death Came her way,' with guest, Carys Cragg. Her journey is a powerful example of resilience, transformation, and breaking free from the chains of tragedy. Her story, which she frames as a pursuit of understanding and healing, shows how confronting her past turned grief into growth. It's about embracing the complexity of human experiences, no matter how challenging they may be. Carys's open sharing serves as a permission slip for all of us to confront our deepest pain and admit our vulnerabilities. Her courage in corresponding with her father's murderer demonstrates that healing can come from the most unexpected places. Her story beautifully illustrates, our most painful experiences are not just scars, but potential sources of profound insight and personal growth. In essence, she shows us that even our darkest moments can lead to light - they're not blemishes, but opportunities for beauty to emerge. What strikes me most about Carys's Mental Beauty rethink is its focus on future-forward thinking. She invites us to reconsider how we view the world and mental health, encouraging us to adopt new thought processes and shifted perspectives. The term 'Mental Beauty' itself opens up a world of promise and opportunity to cultivate a deeper understanding of ourselves and others. Listen to this episode as we take a deeper dive into this topic. 3 Practical ‘Mental Beauty Tips' inspired by Episode 107: Educate Yourself and Others: Empower yourself with knowledge about trauma and its effects. Surround Yourself with Supportive Allies: Seek out individuals and communities that understand and respect your journey. Practice Self-Compassion and Assertiveness: Give yourself permission to prioritize your well-being over societal expectations. Episode 107 Takeaway: A self-care technique to help listen to your own inner voice and inner guidance is daily mindfulness meditation focused on inner reflection: Begin each day by setting aside just 10-15 minutes in a quiet space where you won't be disturbed. Sit comfortably, close your eyes, and take a few deep breaths to centre yourself. As you settle into your breath, gently direct your attention inward, focusing on what you truly feel and need at that moment, without any external influence. Ask yourself, "What is my inner voice telling me today?" Allow whatever thoughts or feelings arise to come to the surface without judgment or the need to act on them immediately. Of course, remember, if you want to share something amazing that you would like to have a shout out for on your behalf, just send an e-mail to mentalbeautycommunity@gmail.com.

Self-compassion is treating yourself with the same kindness, care, and understanding that you would offer to a close friend. Self-compassion impacts emotional wellness. Emotional wellness is all about understanding, managing, and navigating our feelings in a healthy way. Self-compassion plays a huge role in this by creating a space where we can process our emotions without adding layers of guilt or shame. Practical Ways to Practice Self-Compassion: Start with Self-Talk: Begin noticing how you talk to yourself, especially when things go wrong. Would you talk to a friend the way you talk to yourself? Replace harsh judgments with encouraging words. Take Breaks When You're Struggling: When you're feeling overwhelmed, pause and remind yourself that it's okay to step back. Give yourself permission to rest and recharge without feeling guilty. Write Yourself a Compassionate Letter: Whenever you're feeling particularly down or self-critical, write yourself a letter from the perspective of a close friend. This can help you see your situation from a more compassionate lens. Practice Mindfulness Meditation: Mindfulness helps you stay present with your emotions without over-identifying with them. Try incorporating mindfulness practices, like deep breathing or meditation, into your routine. I'm Nicole L.

SHOW NOTES: On this show…we are exploring the power of influence, recognizing what shapes us, and taking back control. We have all been bombarded with messaging asking, begging, and sometimes coercing us to think, feel, and take action. Where do your own thoughts hide in the midst of such assaults? Influence as a pervasive force in our lives that can shape our choices, our mindset, and even our identity. It can feel like a current—sometimes it gently guides us, but other times it's strong enough to sweep us off our feet. The key is in recognizing where influence is coming from and deciding how much power to give it. Let's take a big breathe here and make a commitment to unpack, resort, and purge some influencing ideas that no longer serve us in a positive way. Influence is more than just peer pressure; it's subtle and can come from various sources—family, friends, social media, society, our inner dialogue, and even our environment. A close friend's advice feels comforting but can sometimes lead you down their path instead of yours. Social media trends can push you to buy, think, or act in ways you normally wouldn't. Influence of a mentor or a loved one can impactfully shape your values and ambitions. Tyler Jensen, a psychotherapist, sheds some light on The Allure of Negativity: Why Our Brains Are Drawn to It At Knowledge of Wharton, I found ‘Invisible Influence': What Really Shapes Our Decisions, an interview with the author Jonah Berger On Simon Sinek's YouTube channel, as always, I found some wise words on How to Stop Holding Yourself Back Develop Media Literacy and Mindful Consumption Pause and Evaluate: Before you engage with media (whether it's news, social media, or entertainment), take a moment to reflect on what you're about to consume. Ask yourself why you're choosing this source, and consider whether it aligns with your values or goals. Question the Source: Develop a habit of asking, “Who created this, and what might be their motivation?” For example, consider whether a brand, influencer, or network could have hidden interests. Recognizing potential biases helps you stay in control of how you interpret information. Limit Exposure to Influential Sources Set Boundaries: If you notice certain media or social media accounts lead to self-doubt, stress, or unhealthy comparison, consider unfollowing, muting, or setting a time limit on those platforms. Curate Positive Influences: Choose to follow people, brands, and organizations that support your goals, align with your values, and inspire you in constructive ways. Make it a rule to engage with content that adds positivity and growth to your life. Strengthen Your Core Values Define Your Values: Reflect on what's truly important to you, whether it's integrity, creativity, kindness, learning, or independence. When you have a solid sense of your core values, it becomes easier to recognize when outside influence aligns or conflicts with them. Regularly Revisit Goals and Priorities: Set aside time each month to revisit your goals. Are you on track with what you want, or have you drifted because of external pressures? Realigning with your values keeps you grounded in your personal vision. Practice Self-Questioning to Uncover Hidden Influence Ask Yourself Key Questions:“Why do I want to do this?” This question can help you determine if a choice truly aligns with your desires or if it's an idea you've absorbed from others. “How do I feel about this?” Checking in with your feelings lets you see if you're enthusiastic, uneasy, or pressured—emotions that reveal whether your decision is authentic. “What would I do if no one else were watching?” Imagine you're free of anyone's opinion or judgment to help identify choices that are truly your own. Build Confidence in Your Own Voice Challenge Yourself to Act on Your Opinions: Start with small decisions where you rely solely on your own thoughts. For example, choose an outfit based on your preference, pick a book that genuinely interests you, or make weekend plans based on what would make you happiest. Engage in Conversations with an Open Mind: Practice sharing your perspective in discussions, even if it's different from others. Engaging with diverse opinions while sticking to your viewpoint can help build resilience and confidence in your own voice. Create a Supportive Inner Circle Surround Yourself with Encouragers: Choose friends, mentors, and family members who respect your individuality and encourage you to make decisions that feel true to you. A supportive circle will uplift and validate you, rather than pressuring you to conform. Find Accountability Partners: Identify someone who's also working on taking control of their influences and check in with each other. Share your progress, any struggles, and celebrate wins together to help reinforce each other's growth. Practice Self-Compassion and Flexibility Recognize that Influence is Natural: Understand that we're all influenced by our environments. Self-compassion can prevent you from feeling guilty if you realize you've been swayed in a direction you didn't want. Instead, view it as an opportunity to learn and readjust. Be Open to Change: Sometimes, testing your perspective means you might genuinely change your opinion. That's a sign of growth. The goal is to ensure that any changes reflect your evolving self rather than fleeting external pressures. CHALLENGE: Remember, influence is a force we all experience, but it doesn't have to control us. Recognize what's guiding your path, decide what you want to allow in, and remember that you have the power to steer your own journey. I Know YOU Can Do It!

People with OCD often feel trapped by strict rules in their daily lives. These unwritten rules might mean always trying to control their thoughts, constantly seeking certainty, seeing anxiety as a sign of immediate danger, feeling personally responsible for preventing harm, analyzing every thought meticulously, striving for perfection in everything, and keeping their struggle with OCD hidden from others. In today's episode of The OCD Whisperer Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Kim Rockwell Evans, a licensed professional counselor and licensed marriage and family therapist with over 20 years of experience. Dr. Evans is the author of "Breaking the Rules of OCD: Find Lasting Freedom from the Unwanted Thoughts, Rituals, and Compulsions that Rule Your Life," During the conversation, Dr. Evans discusses treating OCD and anxiety disorders, focusing on the core issue of agency loss. She emphasizes that individuals with OCD often feel compelled to perform rituals, believing they lack choice, and advises recognizing one's agency to make different choices. Her book outlines seven rules to break OCD's grip, including challenging perfectionism, embracing uncertainty, and addressing discomfort intolerance. The episode also clarifies ERP therapy misconceptions and normalizes setbacks as growth opportunities. Dr. Evans introduces Aikido principles as a metaphor for managing OCD triggers, advocating redirecting energy rather than confrontation. She concludes with the "PASSION" acronym: Pause, Pivot, and Proceed; Accept Experiences; Strengthen Your Stance; Practice Self-Compassion; Invite Exposure; Observe Thoughts; and Stay Present. These principles help individuals build resilience and live fulfilling lives free from OCD constraints.

It's a counterintuitive thing, and when you resist, you can notice this battle within yourself.”-Dr. Kim Rockwell Evans [23:03] “If you notice that OCD trigger, rather than going straight into the compulsion, pause and say, "I have an opportunity to learn here."' Dr. Kim Rockwell Evans [26:31] “You can live your life with passion even though OCD shows up sometimes.” Dr. Kim Rockwell Evans Our Guest Dr. Kim Rockwell-Evans, PhD, LPC, LMFT, has specialized in anxiety and OCD treatment in Dallas for 30+ years.

Well, we are almost at the end of the year. Happy New Year! Oh, you guys Thank you all so much for listening along in 2023. I was feeling a little emotional writing this intro. I'm so excited that we made it through another year. These podcast episodes are a lot of work and following through on stuff takes a lot of effort for me so I'm just really proud of myself for keeping up with it! And I have to say that what makes it easier for me is how much logistical, technical, and creative support my teammates Sean and Justice provide me and the continuous emotional support I get from them and other colleagues of mine at Beyond BookSmart - continually putting yourself out there as a podcast host is challenging so the emotional safety net they provide is well, I couldn't do it without it.

These fantastic humans are all executive function coaches for Beyond BookSmart and If you've attended any of our free community education webinars, you may recognize their voices. I was so thrilled they agreed to join me for a Coach Q & A episode where we answer questions that were asked by people who registered for our webinars.

As leaders, there are certainly tough days when we don't feel our best. In this insightful discussion, learn about the importance of self-compassion in leadership and why asking yourself "What do I need?" on those difficult days can help you refocus on self-care. I'm also sharing the challenges and loneliness of leadership, and why going easy on yourself is very important in self-care. Tune in for relatable advice on balancing empathy for others with empathy for yourself - even on your worst days. This is a must-listen for any leader looking to sustain well-being in high-pressure roles. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: How to practice self-compassion as an empathetic leader on bad days The power of asking yourself “What do I need?” The loneliness of leadership and the importance of self-compassion Episode Highlights: [00:08] How to Practice Self-Compassion as an Empathetic Leader on Bad Days As an empathetic leader, it's natural to want to always show up as your best self. However, there will be days when you fall short and don't meet your own high expectations. It's important to practice self-compassion on these bad days. When you find yourself in this situation, try to acknowledge your feelings and the fact that you're not perfect. Ask yourself what you need in that moment to help you move forward. Maybe it's taking a break, talking to a friend or colleague, or simply practicing some deep breathing exercises. It's also important to let go of any negative self-talk or self-judgment. Remind yourself that it's okay to make mistakes and that you're still growing and learning as a leader. Instead of dwelling on your shortcomings, focus on the positive actions you can take to improve. [00:40] The Power of Asking Yourself "What Do I Need?" As human beings, we all have moments where we miss the mark and don't meet our own expectations. During these times, it's natural to feel frustrated or overwhelmed. However, instead of dwelling on what went wrong, it's important to ask yourself a simple yet powerful question: "What do I need?" By shifting your focus to your needs in the present moment, you can take steps to prioritize your well-being and improve your overall state of mind. It may be as simple as taking a break, practicing self-care, or reaching out to a supportive friend or colleague. [01:08] The Loneliness of Leadership and the Importance of Self-Compassion Being a leader can be an isolating experience that leaves you feeling confused and overwhelmed. It can feel like you're having conversations behind closed doors that are alarming and stressful. It's important to recognize that it's okay to struggle and that you need to go easy on yourself. Finding compassion for yourself can be difficult but it's crucial for your well-being. Making friends and building a peer group is essential for support. Remember, you need each other – the group of peers you surround yourself with and the ones you don't want are equally important in your growth as a leader. Take care of yourself and be kind to yourself, it's not always easy but it's worth it.

From Overwhelmed to Empowered: Navigating Burnout and Cultivating Well-being in Grooming Careers In today's episode, we'll be discussing practical strategies to overcome burnout and create a fulfilling grooming career. So, let's dive in! Step 1: Recognize the Signs of Burnout. Burnout often starts subtly, so it's essential to be aware of the warning signs. Symptoms may include chronic fatigue, decreased motivation, loss of passion for grooming, increased irritability, and a decline in the quality of your work. By recognizing these signs early on, you can take proactive steps to address burnout and prevent it from taking over your life. Step 2: Practice Self-Compassion. Groomers are often perfectionists, striving to provide exceptional care for every pet. However, it's crucial to be kind and compassionate to yourself as well. Acknowledge that you're human, and it's okay to make mistakes or have off days. Treat yourself with the same empathy and understanding you extend to the pets in your care. Step 3: Prioritize Self-Care. Groomers tend to prioritize the well-being of their furry clients, sometimes neglecting their own needs. Make self-care a non-negotiable part of your routine. Set aside time for activities that rejuvenate you, whether it's practicing mindfulness, engaging in hobbies, spending time with loved ones, or indulging in a favorite pastime. Remember, nurturing your own well-being allows you to provide better care for the pets you groom. Step 4: Set Realistic Expectations. Unrealistic expectations can be a breeding ground for burnout. Evaluate your workload, schedule, and client expectations. Are you taking on too much? Are your boundaries clear? Communicate openly with clients about realistic timeframes and manage their expectations. Remember, it's better to underpromise and overdeliver than to overcommit and underdeliver. Step 5: Seek Support and Connection. The grooming industry can sometimes feel isolating. Reach out for support from fellow groomers, mentors, or industry associations. Engage in networking events, join online communities, or participate in trade shows, workshops and seminars. Connecting with others who understand the unique challenges of the profession can provide you with a sense of camaraderie and support during difficult times. Step 6: Develop a Work-Life Balance. Striking a healthy work-life balance is essential to prevent burnout. Identify boundaries between your personal and professional life and strive to maintain them. Designate specific hours for work and create downtime for yourself. Remember, you are not defined solely by your grooming career—nurturing your personal life is just as important. Step 7: Learn to Delegate and Ask for Help. Recognize that you don't have to do everything on your own. Identify tasks that can be delegated or outsourced to free up your time and energy. Whether it's hiring an assistant, utilizing grooming software, or seeking help from professionals in areas like marketing or bookkeeping, delegating allows you to focus on your strengths and passions. Step 8: Embrace Lifelong Learning. The grooming industry is ever-evolving, and continuous learning is key to staying engaged and inspired. Stay updated on the latest grooming techniques, industry trends, and business strategies. Attend workshops, webinars, and grooming conventions. Investing in your professional development not only enhances your skills but also reignites your passion for grooming. Step 9: Practice Stress Management Techniques. Stress is a common companion in the grooming profession, but managing it effectively is crucial. Explore stress management techniques such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, yoga, or journaling. Find what works best for you and incorporate these practices into your daily routine to maintain balance and resilience. Step 10: Celebrate Your Successes. In the midst of burnout, it's easy to overlook your achievements. Take time to celebrate even the smallest victories along your grooming journey. Acknowledge your growth, the positive impact you've had on pets and their owners, and the dedication you bring to your craft. Celebrating your successes boosts morale and reinforces your sense of accomplishment. Navigating burnout and cultivating well-being in a grooming career is an ongoing journey. By recognizing the signs of burnout, practicing self-compassion, prioritizing self-care, setting realistic expectations, seeking support, developing work-life balance, delegating, embracing lifelong learning, practicing stress management techniques, and celebrating your successes, you can transform overwhelm into empowerment and create a fulfilling grooming career. I hope you found these strategies valuable and inspiring. Remember, you have the power to shape your grooming career into one that brings you joy and fulfillment.
You cannot shame or bully yourself into wholeness. My inner critic was vicious. It bullied me, held me back, pointed out all my flaws 24/7, and told me I was never good enough. No matter how hard I worked, I could never keep up or measure up.When my third child was born, 18 years ago, I held her little body in my arms and realized in that moment that for her sake and mine, I would never again bully or berate my body or myself. I made the decision and then I had to practice.Some Key Ideas:Compassion needs to be bidirectional.Falling down, making mistakes, or being messy is not the problem. Staying down, or staying mired in shame and judgment is a problem.Self-Compassion has 3 components: mindfulness, self-kindness, common humanity.Fear and the Inner Critic are not against you - they are simply trying to protect you but in maladaptive ways (or ways that no longer serve you).Safety is required for us to be in a position to hear, grow, heal, build a new pattern.Links/References: Kristin Neff: Self-Compassion3/2/1 Exercise: 3 Purposeful Questions I Ask Myself Each Night as Part of a Simple Evening Routine | (alifeinprogress.ca)Befriend Your Inner Critic Workshop: Sep 6, 2023 Befriend Your Inner Critic Workshop | A Life In ProgressHow To Befriend My Inner Critic and Quiet Its Noise: How to Befriend my Inner Critic and Quiet its Noise | (alifeinprogress.ca)Tender Self-Compassion: Self-Compassion Will Help You Become Your Own Best Friend | (alifeinprogress.ca)Fierce Self-Compassion: How to Practice Fierce Self-Compassion to Get Unstuck | (alifeinprogress.ca)

Welcome to another thought-provoking episode of the Self-Aware Leader podcast, where we delve into the depths of our emotions, and explore how understanding ourselves can help us become better leaders and human beings. In this episode, we discuss a fundamental aspect of our lives: love and the right to give and receive it. It's natural for human beings to crave love and connection. However, some people may struggle with giving or receiving affection, being hugged, or experiencing deep emotions. If you're one of those people, you may unconsciously believe that you're undeserving of love. In this episode, we explore the reasons behind these emotional barriers and how to break through them to embrace love wholeheartedly. The Emotional Barriers to Love: Past Trauma or Negative Experiences: Our past experiences, particularly any form of trauma or emotional abuse, can have a significant impact on our ability to give and receive love. These experiences may have led us to associate love and affection with pain or disappointment, making us hesitant to engage in such emotions again. Fear of Vulnerability: Opening up to love requires us to be vulnerable, which can be frightening for some. The fear of vulnerability may stem from a fear of being hurt, rejected, or judged. This fear may hold us back from fully embracing love and affection, as we put up barriers to protect ourselves from potential emotional pain. Low Self-Worth: Our sense of self-worth plays a crucial role in our ability to give and receive love. If we believe that we're undeserving of love or affection, we may unconsciously push it away. It's important to acknowledge and work on improving our self-worth to truly embrace love in our lives. Breaking Through Emotional Barriers: Self-Reflection and Awareness: The first step to breaking through emotional barriers is self-reflection. Take the time to explore your feelings and emotions, and identify the root cause of your resistance to love and affection. Acknowledge and accept your feelings, and be open to understanding and working through them. Seek Professional Help: If you're struggling to break through your emotional barriers on your own, seeking professional help from a therapist or counselor can be a valuable resource. They can provide guidance, support, and the necessary tools to help you work through your feelings and develop healthier emotional patterns. Practice Self-Compassion and Empathy: As you work on breaking through your emotional barriers, it's essential to practice self-compassion and empathy. Understand that healing and growth are a process, and it's okay to stumble along the way. Treat yourself with kindness and patience, and extend that same compassion and empathy to others as well. Develop Trusting Relationships: Building strong, trusting relationships with friends, family, and romantic partners can help you feel more comfortable with love and affection. By surrounding yourself with supportive and loving individuals, you'll begin to feel safer and more secure in your ability to give and receive love. Conclusion: Embracing love and affection in our lives is a vital part of our emotional well-being and overall happiness. By identifying and working through our emotional barriers, we can learn to love wholeheartedly and become more self-aware, compassionate leaders. Remember, as a human being, you have the right to love and be loved. Don't let your emotional barriers hold you back from experiencing the fullness of love that life has to offer.

Calorie counting can be a difficult habit to break, especially for those going through eating disorder and hypothalamic amenorrhea recovery. The constant focus on numbers and restriction can create a harmful relationship with food and hinder progress towards a healthier lifestyle. Fortunately, there are five essential tools that can help individuals let go of calorie counting and develop a more intuitive approach to food. Mindful Eating: mindful eating involves being present and engaged while eating, paying attention to hunger and fullness cues, and savoring the experience of eating. This can help individuals become more in tune with their body's needs and develop a healthier relationship with food. Nutrition Education: understanding the basics of nutrition can help individuals make informed choices about their food intake without obsessing over calories. This includes learning about macronutrients, micronutrients, and portion sizes. Addressing Your Fears Surrounding Giving Up Counting Calories: many individuals fear giving up calorie counting because they worry about losing control or gaining weight. Addressing these fears and challenging negative thoughts can help individuals let go of the need to count calories and embrace a more balanced approach to food. Experimenting with Not Tracking Certain Meals/Times: it can be helpful to start small when letting go of calorie counting. Experimenting with not tracking certain meals or times of day can help individuals gradually build confidence in their ability to listen to their body's needs. Seek Support and Practice Self-Compassion: recovery from an eating disorder or hypothalamic amenorrhea can be challenging, and it's important to seek support from a therapist or support group. Practicing self-compassion can also help individuals be kinder to themselves as they navigate this journey.
