Today’s episode is about a profound realization I had on the journey to happiness.
Often, we're told to practice gratitude to feel joy, especially when our lives seem great on paper—good job, family, stability.
Yet, despite all these blessings, many still feel stressed, exhausted, and unfulfilled.
It's like having appendicitis; you can't enjoy a healthy body if you're in pain.
The same goes for life. It's not just about achievements; it's about having the mental and emotional space to appreciate them.
We need to address our inner turmoil, the 'infections,' to truly enjoy life.
Let’s explore this deeper, so we can find peace and happiness from a place of self-love and compassion, not just gratitude alone.

Today's episode tackles a common struggle many face: setting and maintaining boundaries.
Using fictional examples, we explore scenarios where boundaries are tested and compromised.
Joann, a work-from-home mom, sets clear boundaries with her children, only to find them ignored when her daughter interrupts her work.
Similarly, Lisa faces boundary challenges at work when her boss disregards her request not to take on new clients.
We delve into the three crucial components of effective boundaries: clear definition, recognition of boundary violations, and predetermined actions.
We must understand that we must enforce boundaries, even when others push back. Building resilience to tolerate discomfort is key to upholding boundaries without caving to external pressure.

In today's episode, I want to revisit a familiar topic but with a fresh perspective.
I stumbled upon a young musician named Ren, whose song "Hi Ren" struck a chord with me (please go look him up).
Watching the accompanying video reinforced the importance of acknowledging the various parts within ourselves.
Whether it's through Internal Family Systems therapy or other self-exploration methods, recognizing these internal components has been transformative for me and my clients.
We often identify with unhelpful inner voices, believing them to be our entire selves.
However, every part within us serves a purpose, aiming to protect us in its unique way.
Instead of trying to change these parts, we can learn to connect with them and assign leadership roles to more suitable aspects of ourselves.
This journey of self-discovery allows us to embrace all our parts, finding harmony between shadow and light.

In this episode, I talk about the common experience of dealing with our inner critic: a voice that often spews harsh self-criticism and judgment.
I encourage listeners to reflect on their own encounters with this inner voice, which can feel overpowering and true.
I emphasize that this critical voice is not the entirety of who we are; it's only one part.
We discuss how beliefs become ingrained through repetition, leading to automated thoughts that feel true but may not reflect our deepest truths.
By challenging these beliefs and connecting with our inner wisdom, we can shift our perspectives and create a more supportive internal dialogue.
Ultimately, I highlight the importance of acknowledging and honoring all parts of ourselves while striving to lead with our inner wisdom rather than our inner critic.
