Dive deep with me into the often unspoken struggle that 2 out of 3 of us women face but only 12% discuss openly: Loneliness. 

It's more than just a fleeting emotion; it's the silent epidemic affecting our physical and mental well-being.

In this episode, we unbox the two faces of loneliness: being alone and feeling lonely even in a crowd. But fear not, because by the end, you'll not only understand the roots of this pain but also discover powerful perspectives to break free.

Firstly, we'll redefine the narrative around being alone versus feeling lonely. You'll realize that these are not synonymous, allowing you to feel and take action simultaneously. Loneliness won't fix itself; it requires intentional steps and a shift in our culture that increasingly leans on technology for connection.

I share my personal journey of childhood emotional neglect and how, contrary to popular belief, this is not a life sentence. Loneliness is not about you being weird or unworthy; it's your body signaling a need for something more.

You'll be introduced as to how neglect and sadness is playing a vital role in how you feel and how loneliness is just the mask.

As we wrap up, I challenge you to embrace the discomfort. Feelings of loneliness are not a call to run but an invitation to introspect, to acknowledge and address the real emotions beneath the surface. By doing so, you're not just breaking free from loneliness – you're building a bridge to the life you truly desire.

This episode drops you into the present and challenges the way you see through your current lens!

As we hit the second month of the year, the initial excitement may be fading, and doubts might be creeping in. The scale, bank account, client base, relationship – everything should look different by now, right? 

But what if the problem isn't the goal or you? 

What if it's the lens through which you're viewing what you want?

Join us as we challenge the notion that your dreams are too lofty, that you're not enough, or that you're not doing or being enough. Before you compromise and water down your future self's fulfillment, consider this: 

What if there's nothing wrong with your desires, yourself, or your future self. What if the issue lies in the lens you're using – one clouded by old beliefs, past events, and patterns? Life becomes distorted through this outdated lens, preventing you from achieving the future you desire.

Picture wiping off that clouded lens and looking at your goals through a fresh, updated perspective – a NEW LENS! 

Discover how clearing the clouded beliefs, patterns, thoughts, and feelings with a NEW LENS can transform your uphill battle into a journey towards the future you crave --matching your beliefs with a new perspective, providing the confidence and motivation needed to achieve your desires.

A clouded lens, layered with old beliefs, can be cleaned up with a NEW lens, giving you the clarity to see evidence supporting your desires – evidence that's available but currently blurred.

Your NEW LENS is the bridge between your present and your desired future!

It's time to see your world through a NEW lens and unlock what's still possible for you!

Linda will inspire you with her story from 'fixing herself' to getting what she wants. With this same approach, you too will be able to close the gap between where you are today to where you want to be!
