Are you moving through something big right now? You are not alone! However, we often think we are when we move through significant moments. In this space, we struggle to let go of what is no longer serving us because fear and guilt trump our needs and our perceived worthiness to have a grounded, healthy, and happy life.
And thanks to fear, many believe that letting go is impossible, traumatic, or downright impossible. The truth is, there is a shadow side to healing. Yet, there are ways to soften the blow by doing deep preliminary work ahead of our healing.
This week we are doing just that through a one-on-one deep dive into the process of letting go. Weâre entering a space where we consciously create a path for our deepest desires, the self-awareness process, and learning how to let go of people and relationships, heavy emotions and trauma, attachment, and the obstacles that stand in our way.

25:36 Another hard truth: Our struggles come from our attachment

31:13 The act of âholding lightlyâ is a beautiful practice
31:59 Letting go of trauma and hard emotions

In the latest episode of "Get Your Life Together Girl,"we delve into how we can ease the burden of life's challenges to rediscover joy and peace, because not everything has to be difficult. While most of us are busy living, healing, and experiencing the journey of life, we often focus on what's wrong (the 10% negative experiences), instead of looking at the 90% that's good. Recognizing this balance helps prevent feeling completely overwhelmed by life's complexities. In order to fully take control over your life, we look toward your thought patterns and how we can brain hack the patterns you created.
Brain Science in Thought FormationUnderstanding how our thoughts are formed is pivotal:
Neurons release neurotransmitters.
These create electrical signals.
Connections between thousands of neurons form thought patterns.
Negative loops reinforce themselves over time if left unchecked. Therefore, mindfulness about what thoughts we nurture becomes critical for maintaining mental well-being.
Role of the Reticular Activating System (RAS)The RAS acts as our brainâs bouncer:
It filters what we perceive.
Allows us to focus selectively based on given instructions.
By giving specific instructions focused on positivity or joy rather than stress or negativity, you can effectively reprogram your perception towards more uplifting aspects of life.
Strategies for Shifting Mindsets Towards Joy â the 90%Here are some actionable steps:
Identify Desires: Determine what you want out of lifeâhow you wish to feelâand set clear intentions.
Validate Thoughts: Regularly check whether your current thoughts align with these pre-set intentions.
Assess Importance: Decide which thoughts need attention versus those that donât deserve energy.
Understand Triggers: Recognize triggers for both joy and stress; use them wisely to guide emotional responses positively.
Concrete Steps Against Negative ExperiencesTo counteract negativity effectively:
Accept support from others instead of isolating yourself.
Connect with like-minded individuals who reinforce positive thinking habits.
Engage deeply with emotions but avoid overcomplicating situations unnecessarily.
Strategies for Shifting Mindset & Promoting JoyHere are some actionable steps:
Identify IntentionsAsk yourself these questions regularly:
What do I want?
How do I want to feel?
What do I need?
How will I achieve it?
Validate your thoughts against these intentions consistently.
Understand TriggersRecognize what triggers both your joy and stress:
Use joyful triggers as guides for emotional responses.
Manage stressful triggers effectively by acknowledging them without letting them dominate your mindset.
Concrete Steps Against NegativityTo counteract negative experiences:
Accept SupportBreak cycles of isolation by accepting help from others when neededâitâs okay not always being self-reliant!
Connect with Like-Minded PeopleSurround yourself with people who reinforce positive thinkingâthey become anchors during turbulent times!
Engage With FeelingsUnderstand your feelings deeply; donât overcomplicate things unnecessarilyâsimplicity often holds clarity!
Focus On Self-CareAvoid harmful escapism like substance abuseâinstead indulge responsibly in activities bringing genuine pleasure such as nature walks or connecting closely with friends/family members etc..
Allow breaks akin reflecting upon concept an overflowing wine glassâto manage healing without becoming overwhelmed completelyâŠ
Remember, what you think and what you focus on grows. You must be careful with your mind and thoughts.

Whether it's in our careers, relationships, or personal growth, the sensation of being unable to move forward can be incredibly frustrating and disheartening. In a todayâs episode, we are delving into what you may be doing to cause yourself to feel and be âstuck.â
Understanding Why We Feel StuckThe feeling of stuck often stems from self-sabotaging behaviorsâactions and mindsets that keep us trapped in cycles of negativity and stagnation. It's not unusual for these behaviors to go unnoticed until we take a step back to evaluate ourselves critically.
There are 17 Common Self-Sabotaging Behaviors:Constant Complaining:
Chronic negativity drains emotional energy and perpetuates a victim mentality.
Giving Up Easily:
A lack of resilience means prioritizing short-term comfort over long-term goals.
Ignoring Feedback:
Dismissing external perspectives prevents valuable improvements.
Excuse Making:
Focusing on reasons not to act rather than addressing fears or insecurities.
Overanalyzing:
Paralysis by analysis leads to missed opportunities due to fear of decision-making.
Procrastination:
Delaying important tasks results in emotional exhaustion and halted progress.
Overcommitment:
Spreading oneself too thin without boundaries causes burnout.
Negative Self-Talk:
Destructive thoughts drain motivation and foster harmful patterns.
Poor Time Management
Filling days with low-value tasks; perpetuating a cycle of feeling overwhelmed.
Short-Term Thinking
Focusing on immediate gratification rather than long-term planning.
Unclear Goals
Lack of direction leads to scattered efforts and minimal progress.
Neglecting Self-Care
Ignoring physical and mental health; misinterpreting burnout as dedication.
Lack Of Self-Reflection
Refusing to see yourself, your emotions, or your actions
Blaming Others
Refusing responsiblity and putting blame on outside environments, people, and actions
Avoiding Problems
Hiding or not addressing the issues in hopes it goes away.
Fear Of Risk
Being risk adverse.
Perfectionism
Holding yourself in place so you do not have to worry about things not meeting an unrealistic standard.
Overcoming These BehaviorsTo break free from these self-imposed chains, itâs crucial first to recognize them through honest self-reflection:
Start journaling your thoughts dailyâthis helps clear your mind and understand your current position better.
Seek therapy if neededâa professional can offer guidance tailored specifically for you.
Consider further education or career changes if you're unfulfilled professionally.
Evaluate your relationships honestlyâdecide whether they contribute positively or negatively to your life journey.
Practical Applications:Here are some actionable steps:

Seek Therapy: Professional help offers personalized guidance & strategies suited uniquely towards individual needs.
Pursue Education/Career Changes If Needed : Donât hesitate making necessary shifts ensuring alignment between personal aspirations/professional endeavors
Evaluate Relationships Honestly Make informed decisions about continuing/ending connections impacting overall well-being either positively/negatively
Rememberâthe goal isn't perfection but consistent improvement! By taking small yet deliberate actions every day aimed at overcoming these detrimental habits/mindsetsâyou'll gradually notice significant positive changes within yourself/life circumstances!

This ripple effect illustrates why it's crucial to control initial negative reactions before they snowball into larger issues affecting others around us.
Rule Of Six Explained:1. A small event triggers an emotional response.
2. This response influences subsequent actions and reactions.
3. These reactions create a ripple effect impacting multiple people (up to six in this example).
This understanding shows us how a singular unfavorable encounter can potentially multiply into half-dozen sequentially impacted parties due to how things spread when we do not address them. The way to stop these triggered downslides of events is to look at the Growth Factor.
THE GROWTH FACTOR:The âGrowth Factorâ is looking for potential outcomes. If I lean into this emotion, this moment, what could possibly happen? When we evaulate, we look to the statement: âThe energy that breaks you has the power to repair you." Your brain craves resolution; they need complete stories with clear endingsâeven if they're fabricated based on perceptions rather than facts! By consciously choosing calm responses instead of letting emotions run wild, we provide ourselves much-needed mental closure without unnecessary drama.
The question is how do we get there?
Practicing Mindfulness and Emotional RegulationMindfulness is the key to moderating emotional responses effectively. By staying present and understanding that most people's actions aren't personally targeted at us, we can better regulate emotions and prevent unnecessary stress from dominating our lives.
Detailed Breakdown: The Growth Test QuestionsTo apply this method practically, we turn to four critical questions under Growth Test framework:
What is this moment worth?
Evaluate if letting negative emotions grow will have any substantial benefit.
Is this how I want to feel?
Reflect on whether your current emotion aligns with how you wish to feel.
What is within my control?
Distinguish between aspects you can control (your response) versus those you cannot (external circumstances).
What am I hoping to get out of this?
Focus on desired outcomes instead of being swept away by immediate frustrations.
These questions guide us towards more thoughtful responses rather than knee-jerk reactions driven by fleeting irritations.
Enhancing Emotional Intelligence Through PracticeA growth mindset balances logic with emotionâa skill essential for developing high emotional intelligence (EQ). By practicing presence and mindfulness regularly using tools like the Growth Factor test, we gain greater command over both ourselves and situations around us without relinquishing control unnecessarily due to heightened emotions.
When faced with heightened emotions:
1. **Pause** - Be mindful.
2. **Check-in** - Understand what you're feeling.
3. **Evaluate** - Is this emotion worth it?
Conclusion & Call To ActionMinor inconveniences should never dominate oneâs mental state; perspective matters greatly! Using this tool allows you to better handle your feelings, which leads to improved mental health overall!

In today's fast-paced world, many of us find ourselves grappling with feelings of discontent, anxiety, or general unhappiness. But have you ever paused to consider that these emotions might be stemming from unmet needs in various aspects of your life? Today, we are deep diving into what unmet needs are, how they impact you, and the way you can course correct to help yourself feel connected to yourself, something bigger than you, and the relationships you deem most important.
Understanding NeedsOur needs range from basic physical necessities like food and water to more complex emotional and spiritual requirements such as love, self-esteem, and inner peace. When these needs go unmet, they manifest as negative emotionsâsadness, anxietyâand coping mechanisms that often do more harm than good.
The Five Master Areas of LifeCategorizing our essential needs into five master areas:
Mental: Cognitive well-being.
Emotional: Love, affection.
Physical: Basic survival (food, water).
Spiritual: Inner freedom.
Financial: Economic stability.
Understanding these categories helps us pinpoint where we may be lacking fulfillment.
Signs of Unmet Needs Physical Needs:Fatigue
Frequent illnesses
Stress
Brain fog
Safety Needs:Constant anxiety
Trust issues
Paranoia
Emotional Needs:Loneliness
Emotional exhaustion
Difficulty expressing emotions
Esteem Needs:Insecurity
Self-doubt
Fear of failure
Spiritual Needs:Feeling adrift
Lack of purpose
Recognizing these signs is the first step towards addressing them effectively.
Coping vs Safety MechanismsSafety mechanisms are preventive actions we take based on past experiences (e.g., avoiding alone time with strangers after trauma), while coping mechanisms are reactive behaviors like overeating or substance abuse when faced with stressors. Both can become maladaptive if not properly managed.
Steps to Identify & Address Unmet NeedsReflection: Examine areas causing frustration.
Listen to Emotions: Understand what your feelings indicate about unmet needs.
Seek External Insights: Consult friends or professionals for new perspectives.
Try New Experiences: Engage in activities outside your comfort zone.
Take Small Steps: Gradually address each need without overwhelming yourself.
We must emphasize the need for patience throughout this journey; understanding one's unmet needs is a complex process requiring gradual implementation rather than drastic changes overnight.
Imposter Syndrome Episode may be helpful to understand this process and how it may be showing up.
In conclusion:
Addressing your unmet personal needs isn't just about achieving short-term happiness but fostering long-term well-being through proactive steps:
1 . Practice self-care regularly . 2 . Set realistic goals . 3 . Express emotions freely . 4 . Build supportive relationships .

Today we're exploring hidden opportunities â those gems within challenges that successful people leverage for growth in all areas of their lives: mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, and financial. We'll uncover how being specific about goals and seizing moments can propel you towards success.
You see, success is not a stroke of luck; itâs an art and science that can be mastered with the right mindset and approach. In this enlightening episode, we are breaking down the anatomy of success into digestible pieces so that you can apply a new approach for any transformational change.
The Blueprint of Intentional SuccessImagine success as a complex structureâevery beam or brick represents an attribute or habit cultivated by those who consistently achieve their goals. Unlike what many believe, successful people don't just stumble upon good fortuneâthey build it with intentionality and precision. This is the path:
Specific Goals Lead to Specific ResultsSetting vague aspirations is like trying to hit a target blindfolded. Successful individuals know this all too well; they set clear-cut objectives because clarity breeds motivation. When you define your destination in specific terms, every step you take has purpose and direction.
Seize Each Day Like It's âThe Oneâ that changes everything!Opportunity doesnât wait around for anyoneâand neither do those on the path to greatness. They seize moments big or small because each one holds potential for progressâeven if it means stepping out of comfort zones.
Keeping Score: Tracking ProgressWithout knowing where you stand in relation to your goals, how can you strategize effectively? Regularly checking in on progress isn't obsessiveâit's strategic. It ensures you're always steering your ship towards uncharted waters instead of circling familiar islands.
Realistic Optimism: Hope Grounded in RealityBlind optimism leaves one vulnerable; realistic optimism equips them for battle. By expecting positive outcomes while accounting for potential hurdles, successful folks maintain productive mindsets even when skies are gray.
Grit Over Glamour Every TimeItâs easy to overlook gritty perseverance when celebrating someoneâs achievementsâbut grit often makes all the difference between fleeting interest and lifelong passion-fueled pursuit through thick and thin.
Hidden Opportunities: Turning Setbacks into ComebacksLife will inevitably throw curveballs at usâin these moments lie hidden opportunities waiting to be unearthed by those willing enough to dig deep. Failures arenât dead ends but detours leading potentially toward more scenic routesâif we choose resilience over resignation.
A Daily Practice That Fuels GrowthFour introspective questions as part of our daily ritual:
What do I want?
What do I need?
How do I want to feel?
How am I going to get there?
By answering these regularly, we align our actions with our deepest desiresâcrafting a life script where we're both playwrights and lead actors.
Conclusion: Crafting Your MasterpieceIn essence, success is akin to crafting a masterpieceâit requires foresight, discipline, creativity within constraintsâand above all elseâthe willingness to find beauty amidst imperfections by seizing hidden opportunities everywhere.

Have you heard the term âInner Child Healing?â Itâs a popular topic on social media, but do you understand what it is and the impact it has on a healing journey? In todayâs episode, I walk you through the common misconceptions and provide you with practical tools to help explore your inner child wounds.
Key Points Discussed:The Impact of Childhood Trauma: How unresolved trauma from childhood can resurface in adulthood affecting our behaviors and relationships.
Four Core Wounds:
Abandonment
Guilt/Shame
Trust Issues
Neglect
Unaddressed childhood trauma resurfaces in adulthood but recognizing these patterns allows us to heal past neglect or emotional pain. From ages 0-9 we learn safety; when this is disrupted without adult support, shame lingers long-term.
Carl Jung introduced "inner child" as part of our psyche linked to younger years affecting adult perceptionsâespecially after trauma which alters our sense of security.
Abandonment makes us repeat cycles of rejection; guilt leads to boundary issues; trust deficits create validation needs; neglect causes dissociation from self-needsâall impacting relationships deeply.
Inner child healing involves confronting our deepest woundsâthose feelings of being unsupported, unseen, or unheard. By acknowledging and working through these traumas transparently with ourselves, we open the door to change and happiness. Imagine accepting every part of yourself, including those neglected pieces craving love. This self-acceptance is powerful; it leads to a fulfilling life.
Healing Strategies:
Writing letters to your younger self
Acknowledging past hurts
Listening to what feelings emerge when thinking about childhood
Identifying emotional triggers
Tools for Supporting Inner Child Work:
Hugging oneself as a form of physical comfort
Butterfly hug technique for those uncomfortable with touch due to trauma
Mirror work with affirmations
Practicing self compassion through journaling or meditation
Notable moments:"When we begin to acknowledge our hurtsâŠwe open the door to connect with ourselves."
"Every time we get to a new place [in healing], itâs likely that you open something else."
"âŠinner child healing is about identifying the core wounds where we didn't feel supported, seen or heardâŠ"
Remember, it's never too late to begin healing. You can learn to express emotions healthily and cultivate self-love and worthâit's all within reach. Choose what you want over trauma.CLICK HERE: I'm excited to welcome you to my new course and school! The Blueprint to Growth!
