“The problem is that you think you shouldn’t feel lost, confused, afraid, insecure or like a failure, if you are ever to create something meaningful.

That is an inverted form of dehumanization that we often conflate with self improvement.

Why is aspiring to reach a state where you are unable to feel insecure, lost or afraid, an inverted form of dehumanization?

Because it would require that you separate yourself from what makes you human… your ability to feel the full emotional spectrum, dark or light.

Doing that wouldn’t be self improvement. It’s dissociation.” - Xavier Dagba

This quote got me thinking about how comfortable I had let my life get a few years ago.

Don’t get the wrong idea - this wasn’t the “living on vacation” kind of comfort. I wasn’t comfortable with the place my work was at, or with relationships or health or money related things…. but I was having nice hot showers everyday. Sleeping in a cozy bed. Never getting too hot or too cold. Most importantly: not trying new things. Not taking risks.

It was the kind comfortability that comes with accepting what I’d always accepted. The comfort that comes with being in debt vs. having money. The comfort of complaining to myself, but not doing anything about it. The kind of comfort of “at least I know what I’m getting.”

THAT kind of comfort.

It’s like that saying “choose your hard”. Taking care of your health, eating right, moving your body, is hard; but not doing that, then dealing with repercussions later is hard too. Either way it’s hard. Choose your hard. A lot of us tend to defer the hard.

A few years ago I was very uncomfortable. New mom, starting a business, quit my corporate job, moved across the country. Then, I retreated into a period of time where I stopped going out of my comfort zone.

So much is lost when we stay in our comfort zone.

We settle.

We stop growing.

We accept what we don’t like, even though we have the power to change it.

The paradox is that it’s not actually comfort, comforting, or comfortable. Our brains confuse comfort with known.

I’ve shared many times the misconception that following my calling would be blissful. What I found was exactly what Dagba speaks of: lost, confused, afraid, insecure, like a failure.

When those emotions came up, they set alarms bells off for me.

I wish I’d known those were “correct”, “normal”, acceptable, reasonable, even welcomed responses. That it meant being fully human.

Part of the process. Not “oops, must be on the wrong path.”

To do something new IS scary, unknown, and you will have to face yourself. It does feel like you’re failing, until one day you’re not.

That wasn’t something to run from. That was something to embrace.

Embrace your humanity. The spectrum of emotions.

Let’s normalize that.

Now when I take my son to trampoline parks, climbing gyms, waterslides, the park I’ve made a contract with myself to join in, instead of just watch (may have recently pulled an arm muscle on the monkey bars).

Now in my work I do things that don’t feel cozy and comfortable. I go to the event, the lunch, I do the Live.

Granted, there was a long dark night of the soul where it was probably right to cocoon. But I’m not in that anymore.

It’s time for me to get uncomfortable in the unknown because that’s where the fullness of my humanity lies.

In my latest pod episode I share a story from a time in my journey where I was not in a place to be out of my comfort zone. If you’ve ever thought to yourself “why isn’t my business working”, you’ll enjoy this episode!

Self-sabotage is latent; it’s only activated with certain conditions. To add to the nuance, it’s also hidden because it’s job is self-protection. It’s quietly trying to keep me safe in super sneaky ways.

This is useful, because if I own it and do nothing, I create more suffering.

It’s a pickle.

I want to grow my business, but I don’t. My Soul does. My mind is afraid. My nervous system is activated in all the ways.

The fact that I can spot this pattern (which tells different tales every time - how fun), and course correct is the result of a lot of awareness and inner work, over a long period of time. And also just getting tired of my own s**t. There’s that.

Part of this awareness was realizing my business is not me, it’s a separate entity.

Part of this awareness is realizing how I do one thing is how I do everything.

Part of this awareness was unpacking generational and ancestral stories. Stories I inherited but have a choice about how I carry them.

In this podcast episode I share my lessons around connection, how being transactional, and extractive with my business led to feeling alone and playing small.

It’s a short episode and I don’t go down the rabbit holes of why; it’s more observational after coming out the other side. I don’t presume all my stories are universally relatable; my hope is you hear some pieces that remind you what you already know somewhere deep down. That allow you to expand the way you work with your business in really healthy ways.

Thank you for joining me on the behind the scenes journey of building a business when you’re scared out of your mind - - - but doing it anyways (and making ALL the mistakes). It’s been an epic 6 years. Or 7. But who’s counting 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️ I’m lucky (privileged) to be here.

I understand the deer-in-headlights looks when I talk about this. It’s an intangible concept hard to wrap or minds around, or embody.

Every way we look we’re confronted with the opposition: we aren’t enough. We need to buy, change, be something different to EARN our worth. Not to mention the shame it creates on this endless consuming cycle.

Aren’t we set up for a vicious cycle of failure?

Where is this messaging coming from, and how is the messenger benefiting?

In this week’s podcast episode I explore what it would look like if the skeptics were right: what if our Soul’s came to Earth totally worthless, and the whole goal is to achieve and earn worth?

What would that look like amidst the moving targets?

Well, what are the standards of worth? The metrics?

* Money

Oh - you mean that totally made up man-made thing for the purpose of exchanging things? The thing that is actually just energy?

* Image

How much has this changed over the decades and eons? How do you achieve a moving target?

* Career / Title

Does this win your worth? At what point? Is it sustainable?

My analogy is with the algorithm.

If you’ve been posting on social media or running ads, you’ll understand the concept of a moving target very well. As soon as you figure it out, it changes.

Or, if you’ve ever achieved a long awaited goal (image, money, work) and the shine wore off and didn’t last (shiny object syndrome, anyone?), you’ll get this.

Isn’t it wildly inaccurate to base our worth on external metrics that can never be held sustainably, even if achieved?

Where is this messaging coming from and how is the messenger benefiting?

What about the consequences of each of these 2 opposing beliefs?

If we believe we’re worthless and need to earn our worth, the consequence will likely be looking to buy or achieve worth through external measures. Trying to force something that can’t be earned because the algorithm keeps changing.

We’re set up for failure.

Contrary, if we believe we’re inherently worthy (and we just forgot), the consequence will likely be: increased self-love, self-acceptance, less comparison, jealousy, hyper independence.

We’re set up for community, growth, learning, support, abundance.

“What’s wrong with me?” is maybe replaced with a calm, sturdy, quiet confidence, or even joy.

If we’re accepting who we are and where we are, doesn’t the noise of conditioning soften?

Sometimes it’s easier to witness the worthiness we see in Nature. When bees go to the flower for nectar, they don’t need to dress up, wear make-up, or lose weight. They don’t ask, “am I good enough today?” They go to the flower for sweet nectar and by doing so, they also spread pollen for the whole garden to flourish.

We are made of the same stuff as Nature: cells, water, molecules. We are Nature. And just like Nature, we are inherently worthy and abundant, and more.

Where is THIS message coming from, and how would the messenger benefit? How would we all benefit?

Like the bees getting nectar and consequently pollinating the garden, how do we help the collective by doing what innately brings us sweetness?

My Nature analogies aren’t new ideas - they’ve been discussed organically for centuries, and I invite you to your own journey with the appropriate sources. Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer and the Munay-Ki are some of my current favorites.

Coles Notes

I had been lumping HSP’s and empaths all together until I came across Dr. Judy Orloff’s work. She reports not all HSP’s are empaths, and furthermore, highlights 11 different types of empaths. She also offers this handy diagram:

The main difference between empaths and HSP’s being that HSP’s don’t typically sense subtle energy changes, or absorb energy from other people and environments.

The rarest and most powerful kind of empaths identified by Dr. Orloff is “Heyoka”. “The term “heyoka” comes from Indigenous tribes of the Great Plains of North America and means “sacred clown”. This type of empath challenges conventional norms and mirrors the emotions of others, causing them to see things differently.”

The part about challenging conventional norms and causing others to see things differently sounds very much like cycle breakers. Not sure about the mirroring of other people’s emotions, but sometimes that’s what we do when we’re triggered and reacting to what isn’t healed in us. We are all mirrors for each other.

So, is hyper vigilance being masked and called empathy? Or, are we born highly sensitive and empathic, which naturally leads us to be more hyper vigilant? Nature or nurture? What do you think?

Are we born to be cycle breakers with the gifts of empathy and high sensitivity? Or is our “empathy” derived from an adaptive response to attempt to stay safe and connected in tough situations?

The Connection to Our Work

Sometimes our calling is a profession from which we get paid. Sometimes it’s as simple as choosing to be brave and be who we are. Sometimes that’s being a cycle breaker.

Sometimes it’s all of the above and we choose to heal ourselves, our family line, and hold space for others to heal (the Coaches, Healers, Leaders, Creatives, etc).

That’s a pretty big calling.

Why I think all these words and labels matter and I why I talk so much about being highly sensitive and entrepreneurship is because hard things amplify our strengths and weaknesses.

When we amplify high sensitivity and empathic traits, it’s not useful. It often shows up as people pleasing, perfectionism, comparison, imposter syndrome, and a harsh inner critic. All those things create an enormous amount of self-doubt. Self-doubt and entrepreneurship are a tricky mix.

When we bring awareness to our traits, however, we can recognize when we need to pull them back, implement boundaries, and use them more efficiently, effectively, authentically, and sustainably.

No coincidence, that’s just the kind of business I’m aiming to build.

Our relationship to ourself often correlates and mirrors the relationship we have with our business.

This is why, IMHO, starting a business can be so confronting.

The things that need healing but you’ve been sweeping under the rug and coasting by…well, now the rug is gone. It’s the epitome of feeling like the rug got pulled out from under you!

It might show up as the shock of following your hopes and dreams and answering the call was not the yellow brick road to freedom you imagined. It can be discombobulating and hard to find your way back, or move forward. It can leave you feeling stuck.

To continue answering the call, we need support. We try to do it all alone, to be responsible, capable, and prove ourselves. But it’s impossible to build a business alone.

Ironically (or maybe serendipitous), hyper independence may be a thing that needs healing. Connection may be a thing that needs healing; connection to ourselves and our gifts and talents, and to others. Your business may be the catalyst for what you needed.

If we’re running around with empathy and high sensitivity overwhelming us and we have no knowledge of it; our capacity to expand will be low.

When we use our powers for good, increase our capacity to expand, our business can expand, and we stop holding it back.

Entrepreneurship can be the gateway to some deep healing. This kind of healing heals you, the generations before and after you, and your clients.

This is why I call Entrepreneurs that are healing themselves, holding space for others to heal, AND healing generations past (cycle breakers) the Superheroes of Healing.

Now THAT’S answering the call. 🎉🎉🎉

Does anyone know who I can credit this quote to?

I believe the biggest calling is to harness the bravery and courage to be our unique selves in a world that continually wants to put us in a box and “behave” (ie: be generic, don’t complain, work hard, and don’t ask questions). An old dysfunctional saying that comes to mind is, “you get what you get, and you don’t get upset.” Ugh. No. Thank you.

Tricia Hersey is one of my favorite voices for support with releasing the need to seek permission for rest, and how dangerous burn out is. Not only for our bodies, our creativity, our life force, our families, but for all of us collectively, because it perpetuates an extractive way of living, and benefits only those set up to win. If that sounds resonate, check out her book “Rest is Resistance”.

There’s another kind of a calling: Cycle Breaker.

I noticed a pattern in clients over the years: people craving authenticity, suffering burn-out, people pleasers wanting to be nice and good. They shared they felt shame, guilt, anxiety, and depression symptoms. They were asking great questions like, “what is my purpose?”

These were people waking up: people not wanting to perpetuate the stories told by the generations that came before them. Their wake up calls varied. Some had become parents, some had started a business, some had a health scare. Whatever event(s) were occurring, they were all asking, “is there a better way? What are my choices here? How much of this story is mine, and how much did I inherit?”

With awareness comes choice.

With choice comes change.

Being Cycle Breaker is an honor and a calling. Would you agree? We’re called in to change the trajectory of our family line. It doesn’t need to be a burden to carry alone in isolation. There’s also immense healing in finding the support and people you need to journey through. There’s healing in recognizing the privilege and releasing the resentment that sometimes shows up.

It’s a win-win for us all, but it’s not easy. No one said easy. Important, eye-opening, transformative, revolutionary. Those things are not easy, which is why it’s tasked to the brave, courageous, the Superheroes of healing. Are you one?

In this episode, we discover the surprising link between people pleasing and struggling to be assertive. So much of our ability to assert what we need comes from self-support and the continual commitment to be who we are - and letting that be enough! 

We also discuss the difference between low-level differentiation and high-level differentiation.

"The ability to be assertive - to clearly and confidently express your feelings, thoughts, needs, and wants when they differ greatly from others who are important to you is essentially an expression of differentiation." (The Assertiveness Guide for Women: see show notes below for author).

Our ability to navigate the tension between our true needs and desire for connection is called differentiation.

The reverse is also true. There’s no need to make allowances for others to mistreat you because they’re suffering. You can still have boundaries. You can still let them know that’s not acceptable – yes, even though they’re hurting or have been hurt in the past. Because allowing it only spreads the suffering and doesn’t allow them the kindness to see how their actions are affecting those around them. Without that kindness, how do they heal?

How often do you give yourself more than two choices?

More than all-or-nothing?

Do you only do things in increments of 5’s or 10’s? Have you ever worked out for 8 minutes, or 33 minutes, and felt OK about it?

Asher Pacht says: “For perfectionists only the extremes of the continuum exist.”

Remember: our output whether it's perfect or not, isn't a referendum on our worthiness.

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

In this episode I talk about “growth” and “fixed” mindsets (Carol Dweck’s work) and where perfectionists typically fall.

Are you a high functioning and high-performance person, with a harsh inner critic?

Sometimes perfectionism creates this crazy kind of anxiety that can be disguised as: punctual, friendly, driven, detail-oriented, helpful, and organized.

It might look like never asking for help, having crazy high expectations for yourself, and being really hard on yourself when you fall short (because if you let yourself off the hook, you’d just get unproductive/lazy).

It’s that feeling of needing to be in constant motion because we think we can outrun anxiety.

It's a coping mechanism and our subconscious programming has a lot to do with the original blueprint.

"Being a 'good kid' often meant being 'mature'. We were often praised for not having big feelings, not making messes, not making noise. Thing is...kids really need to have big feelings, make messes, and make noise. 'Good kids' can often grow into anxious adults." Dr. Glenn Doyle

If we fail and make it mean there’s something flawed in our character, or personality, or inherit worth – and we think those things are unchangeable no matter how much effort we expend...then we are linking failure to our worthiness.

This of course, is not true. We're inherently worthy. Full stop. Not contingent on anything.

Need proof? Are you breathing? You're alive? You're worthy.

Many of us have a sordid relationship with failure. We think if we fail, we aren't good enough. If we make a mistake, it means we aren't good enough.

Remember, perfectionism wants us to believe in only black and white, and all-or-nothing.

Trauma wants us to believe there has to be a trade-off. One or the other. Only two choices.

In this episode I offer a perspective shift: give yourself more than two choices, more than all-or-nothing or just black and white.

There can be grey, in between. There can be hundreds of choices!

It can be "yes-and" (for my improv actors out there).

You can: fail AND be worthy; make a mistake AND still be lovable. 🤯

Those concepts don't belong together, they are separate. Worthiness doesn't belong to any other concept. It just is.

You are worthy. Full stop. Just cuz you're here.

Failure is it's own concept. It doesn't have to mean anything other than "more practice required".

We can stop beating ourselves up and treating common failures as epic failures.

Welcome to Season 2!

After doing season one, I realized there were some big topics I wanted to go into deeper detail and perfectionism was one of those topics.

How you know this season is for you:

• You have a tough inner critic & are ridiculously hard on yourself

• You can’t remember the last time you had a glorious failure – the kind where you give something your all but fail in an epic blaze of glory

• You don’t dream big anymore

• You self-sabotage

• You never ask for help (you’d rather die trying)

• You often feel resentful of others for asking so much

• You’re “all-or-nothing” (and maybe proud of it)

Join me with an open, curious mind in dissecting these themes and make space for perspective shifts and letting go of old, outdated beliefs that no longer serve.

Don't skip it, thinking that slowing down or pausing won't get you where you want to go. Forcing, pushing, and going too fast cannibalize your process and leave you in danger of losing momentum and giving up entirely.

I don't want you losing faith or giving up. I want you to reach your authentic goals because we all benefit from that.

I have really done a 180 degree turn on this one and if you share my old belief, I'm really excited for you to hear my updated perspective.

Inner child work has been the foundation for a lot of deep healing and the catalyst for a lot of growth and progress towards my authentic goals.

If you felt the same way about inner child reparenting, I invite you to listen to this episode with an open heart and mind.

I'm not vilifying it completely - sometimes we need to people please for a lot of different reasons - but let's be discerning and aware of our choices.

This is important because it keeps us in our own sovereignty, in our own power, and protects us from a victim mentality. A victim mentality feels terrible, like you have no control, life is happening "to you" and not "for you". Subtle but HUGE difference when it comes to living authentically.

This takes self-awareness, fails, and practice. So have self-compassion and patience for yourself learning new skills.

And by the way, did you know: 

• you have the right to say no without feeling guilty

• you have the right to make mistakes, to course correct, or change your mind (and you don't have to explain yourself)

• you have a right to your preferences, feelings, and needs (even with they're misunderstood or disagreed with)

• you have the right to create boundaries that feel good to you (even though the people that benefited from your lack of boundaries will not like it)

• you have the right to prioritize your self-care and this does not make you selfish

Honestly - it took me a long time to realize these things. I didn't know I was "aloud" to make boundaries. I didn't know that a feeling is a good enough reason for any decision. It is. ❤️

I read somewhere that it's ok to decline invites when you have white space in your calendar. You can be busy watching Netflix, having a bath, or doing nothing. Busy also means unavailable for what you were asked to do. This is OK.

Also - Season 3 of the podcast is ALL about people pleasing :)

The root limiting belief around this? Those traits are what create success.

No!

Being hard on yourself typically creates fear, keeps you small, and the failure (which, is part of every goal process) is crippling.

Having self-compassion, setting realistic goals, seeing failure as opportunity, and giving yourself more than two choices (not just all, or nothing) are what actually support you in reaching your authentic goals.

Our subconscious minds mistakenly believe that our authentic selves aren't good enough, acceptable, or allowable. It then "protects" us by creating personality layers like perfectionism and people pleasing, which help us fit in but cause a lot of emotional turmoil. We forget we aren't meant to "fit in". We're meant to be different and share our unique perspectives and voice.

The goal in my work is to help elevate and empower through increasing self-knowledge, self-trust, self-awareness, self-compassion, basically all the "selves".

You are the one that will heal you. AND - the "how" and "when" are out of all of our control. 

Healing is not linear, it takes its own path and time.

I don't believe anyone is "blocked", broken, or needs "fixing".

But we like to believe that because it appeals to the victim in us that feels out of control.

By making space between the conditioning, trauma, fears, and our authentic selves, we can create a healed response (vs. knee jerk reactions that don't serve) and live in alignment.

Where it's easier to surrender to the process AND feel empowered.

From here we can really start to build an authentic, aligned life - safely.

What Making Space is all about:

• clearing out old beliefs, old patterns, old thoughts
• making space for more energy, vitality, connection, and empowerment
