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 Life becomes distorted through this outdated lens, preventing you from achieving the future you desire.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!

Do you feel like you've lost a part of yourself along the way? Perhaps the passions that once ignited your soul now feel like distant memories, and the path ahead seems unclear.  It's a common human experience, and it can happen to anyone, at any stage of life, but it often becomes particularly pronounced during this second half phase.

Today we're going to delve into the landscape of losing oneself—what it looks like, why it happens, and most importantly, what you can now do about it! Life's twists and turns and the myriad of roles we play can sometimes lead to a sense of disconnect from our true selves.

But fear not, for this journey is not one without hope, and there are tangible steps one can take to navigate this maze and reconnect with the vibrant, authentic self that's been buried beneath life's demands.

Let's pave the way toward a fulfilling and authentic existence!

TAKEAWAYS:

1. Disconnecting with self is usually caused by an identity shift, caregiving, seeking validation from others and/or unfulfilling relationships or career. 
2. Signs that you are disconnected with self are lack of passion, ignoring personal goals, identity crisis and loss of confidence.
3. Ways to reconnect and feel alive again is to engage in self-awareness, explore NEW interests, embrace change, reconnect with passions and invest in your growth!
4. When you willingly pledge allegiance to yourself, you'll discover what you crave just beneath the surface of your current existence!

Beyond the hype, we dive into the subjective, exploring emotions, opinions, and values. We dissect the impact of social media's objective perfection and the massive hashtag trends on platforms like TikTok and Instagram.

This episode is your guide to intentional living, promising that the clarity gained will snowball into greatness, embracing the mystery of the journey. So, what's your definition of living your best life?! Let's find out!

TAKEAWAYS:

1. Your definition of Living Your Best Life is found in the deepest part of who you are!
2. When it comes to defining Living Your Best Life, you can choose to be content in the now, follow the hype or define what it means to you and make your decisions from that!

We're flipping the script on the age-old concept of "New Year, New You!" We're diving into a better way that lasts not just for a season but for the entire year. So, why settle for a fleeting 45 days of transformation when you can embrace all 365?

#BeHerNow is the mantra and we'll break down what it means—living in the now, finding alignment without unnecessary busyness, and truly knowing who you are. It's a shake-up in conditioning, choosing feelings over things, and swimming in the experience of being rather than constantly doing.

Embark on a transformative journey as we delve into the intricate dynamics of our relationships—with ourselves. Discover the profound impact of codependency on your past, present, and future self.

Today's focus is on codependency, not in the context of external relationships, but within the intricate web of our own existence.

We dissect the three players in your relationship with yourself: the past self, a repository of nostalgia and insights; the ever-transforming current self; and the visionary future self. Unveil the connection between them and understand that your future self thrives on a healthy relationship between the past and present.

Dive into the definition of codependency in the context of self-relationships, exploring the patterns and characteristics shaped by childhood experiences. Uncover the persona, 'shoulds' and the self-critical tendencies that contribute to low self-esteem. Recognize the need for control, caretaking, and the victim state that perpetuates cycles of dependency.

But fear not, as we present a solution: releasing codependency for a co-creative relationship with your past self. Learn the art of making her feel safe, addressing rejection, judgment, and abuse, and finally, allowing her to play her part in the co-creation of your future self.

Join us on this liberating journey from codependency to empowerment. Share in the revelations, resonate with the insights, and take the first step towards unlocking your true potential. Don't miss this episode that promises a roadmap to self-liberation and a profound shift in your relationship with your past, present, and future self.

TAKEAWAYS:

1. A fulfilled life has 3 players: past, present and future self.
2. A co-dependent life with self has 2 players: past and present.
3. Release codependency with your past self by:
   1. Making her feel safe and then allow her to go play!
   2. Recognizing that the past is not happening now; its a memory. Don’t choose the memory.
   3. Ask your CS powerful questions:
      1. How is holding on to my past self serving me.
      2. How is holding on to my past serving HER?
