In this episode, I address the existential questions you may have after committing yourself to a truly authentic life aligned with your values: Do I need goals anymore? How do I set goals that don’t depress me? Do I even know what I want? What do I need to live a happy life?

Only you can answer those questions, but as usual, I provide some reframes, subconscious context, and a new perspective to try shaping your thinking around.

The most tangible advice is about failure. I offer some considerations that your shame may be blocking you from seeing and feeling, and I outline what to focus on after a failure, so you can make it constructive!

THANK YOU for being here and diving into the void with me! I appreciate you being here so much. If your time here inspired you to learn more about your true self or to do some powerful subconscious work to give yourself the life you deserve, you can learn how to work with me below!

Is doing shadow work just… feeling EVERY single emotion deeply?

No. That would be time-consuming, exhausting, and more harm on your nervous system than good. It’s about developing DISCERNMENT.

Here’s your recipe for the emotional mastery that shadow work brings:

Determine which emotions are worth sitting with

Build up strength to sit and ride out difficult feelings

Determine which emotions and feeling are tied to patterns and beliefs

Know how to change that behavior and rewire unhelpful thoughts, either in your own practice or with a practitioner

Doing subconscious work changes the way your brain works, consciously and unconsciously. Book a session with me to develop this discernment! REMEMBER to use your discount code for subscribing to me, found in your welcome email!

In this episode, I share my journey of healing my burnout and finding my purpose through it. I share the symptoms to watch of burnout, my definition of the term, how burnout can occur, and how to heal your burnout.

I outline the steps:

1. Acceptance

2. Tune into your body's clues and energy signals to give yourself what you need

3. Do things for NO REASON, and just for pleasure

4. Experiment, do things to see if they work, drop if they don't, don't get attached to a new identity or routine just yet

5. Co-regulate with other humans

6. Find your true identity, goals and values. Who are you really?

7. Create a new routine/flow that is aligned and that won't burn you out

I share my journey over the past MANY years, and give some revealing examples. I've had a VERY long, drawn-out relationship with burnout and I'd love if my experience can give you some insight and shorten yours!!
