Episode Summary:
In today’s episode, we’re diving into the concept of holding space—what it means to be present for others and ourselves in moments of intense emotion without judgment, interruption, or the urge to fix. This is a core element of emotionally strong leadership, and it’s foundational for creating authentic, lasting connections.Inspired by a powerful video of a dad holding space for his daughter’s big emotions, we’ll explore how this simple act can transform relationships and deepen our own emotional resilience. Holding space isn’t just for others; it’s also a skill we can cultivate to better support ourselves. Tune in to discover how to embrace this transformative practice in your own life.
Topics Covered:
What Does It Mean to Hold Space?
We define what holding space truly means and why it’s more than just being physically present. Learn why this practice involves active patience, empathy, and the ability to stay grounded.Why Holding Space Matters:
Holding space creates a safe environment where people feel seen, accepted, and free to be themselves. For us, it’s an opportunity to grow our own emotional resilience and practice deeper empathy and connection.Examples of Holding Space in Different Scenarios:
Holding Space for Others’ Emotions: How to be there for someone without jumping in to fix or solve. Holding Space for Ourselves: Learning how to be there for ourselves during difficult emotions without rushing to change or judge what we’re feeling.Practical Tips to Start Holding Space Today:
Discover simple techniques for cultivating this skill in your life, including grounding yourself, practicing non-judgmental listening, making room for silence, and fostering self-compassion.Key Takeaways:
Holding space is an active choice to allow others (and ourselves) to experience emotions fully, without judgment or the need to fix. Emotionally strong leadership requires presence, patience, and stability. By practicing this with others, we create a space for genuine connection and trust. Holding space for ourselves can be deeply transformative, helping us embrace all parts of ourselves with compassion and acceptance.Action Steps:
Reflect on how you currently respond to others’ emotions. Are you quick to give advice or fix? Practice simply listening without needing to solve. Try holding space for yourself by setting aside time to sit with your emotions without judgment. Start with just a few minutes, acknowledging what you’re feeling and allowing it to be there. Ground yourself with a few deep breaths next time someone shares something emotional. It will help you stay present and supportive without absorbing their energy.Quotes:
“Holding space isn’t passive—it’s an active choice to set aside your own discomfort, your need to fix, and allow others to be as they are.” “Emotionally strong leadership begins with the willingness to hold space, both for ourselves and those we lead.”Show Notes: Here

Episode Description: In the spirit of Halloween, we're diving into a topic that's both spooky and deeply transformative. Join Chantel Allen as she explores the "haunted house" within each of us—the place where the "ghosts" of our past live. These aren't ghosts to be feared, but parts of ourselves that show up to be acknowledged and healed.
In this episode, Chantel shares why so many of us feel haunted by old stories, limiting beliefs, and past experiences, and how these “ghosts” show up in our lives. Through the analogy of a haunted house, she explains how to navigate these internal characters, bring compassion to each room in our inner "house," and ultimately free ourselves from past wounds. This episode is a must-listen if you’re ready to turn on the lights within, face your fears, and welcome every part of yourself.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Why the ghosts of our past aren't here to harm us but to teach us. How the different characters within us—like the hustler, the perfectionist, or the "not good enough" self—are like ghosts in our inner house. Why acknowledging and understanding these parts of ourselves is essential for self-compassion and growth. How to go through your inner house, turning on lights of love and acceptance, and welcoming each part with kindness. The importance of letting go of linear thinking about our past to release the hold of old, unhealed parts of ourselves. Practical steps for embracing and creating a safe space for every part of who you are.Key Takeaways:
You Are the House: No matter what "ghosts" or old characters appear, you are the whole and complete structure. The ghosts are just parts of you, not the entirety of who you are.
Why Ghosts Appear: Just like traditional ghost stories, our inner ghosts need to be heard and understood. They're asking for attention, not avoidance.
Creating Space for All Parts of You: Learn how to welcome each part of yourself—even the parts that feel "not good enough" or fearful—with compassion. Each part has something valuable to teach.
Embrace, Don’t Fix: Instead of fixing these parts, create a safe, loving “house” within you where each part can exist peacefully. Just like a loving home, you are safe and complete just as you are.
Reflection Questions:
Who are the "ghosts" or characters that show up in your life? What are they trying to tell you? How can you create more space for these parts of yourself? What does it mean for you to turn on the lights of love and acceptance in your inner “house”?Subscribe & Leave a Review: If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to subscribe so you never miss a future episode.

In this episode, we dive into the important distinction between feeling your emotions and reacting to them. Often, we think we're processing our emotions, but we're really avoiding them—whether through distraction, busying ourselves, or even clinging to others. I share stories from clients who have transformed their emotional experiences by learning to sit with their feelings, instead of running from them. We’ll explore how staying present with your emotions, even the uncomfortable ones, leads to deeper connection, more freedom, and lasting joy. I also provide practical tools you can start using today, including a daily body scan exercise, journaling prompts, and insights into how to embrace your emotions without letting them control you.
What You’ll Learn:
How to recognize when you’re reacting to your emotions instead of feeling them. Why avoiding your emotions creates disconnection and keeps you stuck. The importance of staying in the room with your emotions and allowing them to move through you. How to bring compassion to the parts of yourself that are feeling shame, grief, or other heavy emotions. A practical daily body scan exercise to help you become more emotionally aware. Journal prompts to deepen your relationship with your emotions.Key Takeaways:
Feeling vs. Reacting:
Emotions are meant to be felt in the body, not analyzed or avoided. Recognizing whether you're reacting to your emotions (through distractions or overthinking) or truly feeling them is the first step to emotional freedom.Story of Grief & Connection:
One client realized that her urge to cling to her son’s childhood moments was a way to avoid feeling the grief of him growing up. By staying present with the grief, she found clarity and was able to connect more deeply with herself.Compassion for Younger You:
A client feeling shame visualized a 6-year-old version of herself hiding in a dark basement. By staying with the emotion and offering compassion to her younger self, she brought light to the shame without needing to 'fix' it.Practical Tools:
Body Scan Exercise: A simple way to get out of your head and into your body. Spend a few minutes each day scanning for where you feel tension or sensations, and breathe into them without judgment. Journal Prompts: Use journaling to explore what emotions you avoid, how you typically react, and what it means to show compassion to yourself in those moments.Temporary Nature of Emotions:
Emotions are temporary, and resisting them only makes them last longer. By learning to sit with them, you let them flow through, allowing for more joy and connection in your life.Action Steps:
Try the body scan exercise each day this week. Take just two minutes to notice what’s happening in your body, name the sensations, and breathe into them. Use the following journal prompts to explore your emotional patterns: What emotions do I avoid most often? Why do I avoid them? What’s a recent situation where I reacted to an emotion instead of feeling it? What would I have done differently? What does compassion look like when I sit with an uncomfortable emotion?Show Notes: Here

Episode Overview: In this episode, we dive deep into emotional exhaustion—what it is, how it affects us, and how to move through it. Whether you're a mom, leader, or coach, emotional exhaustion can creep in when you’re constantly carrying the weight of others’ emotions. Today, Chantel shares personal stories and real-world examples of how emotional exhaustion shows up, especially when you’re supporting others, and offers actionable steps to process and complete your own emotional cycle so you can recharge and show up fully again.
Key Takeaways:
Emotional exhaustion is when we don’t complete the emotional cycle—leaving us stuck and drained. It’s common for moms, leaders, and coaches to experience emotional exhaustion because of how much we carry emotionally for others. Emotions have a beginning, middle, and end. Exhaustion happens when we don't finish this process. Recognizing, allowing, and processing your own emotions is key to breaking free from emotional exhaustion. Emotional exhaustion isn’t about finding the "why" of your feelings; it's about feeling them all the way through, neck down, and giving your emotions space to move.Steps to Move Through Emotional Exhaustion:
Recognize and name your emotions – Instead of thinking your way through, sink into your body and let yourself feel. Allow space for your emotions to process – Cry, feel sad, angry, or overwhelmed, but do it with intention. Complete the emotional cycle – Don't just stop when you're done helping others—take time to finish feeling what’s come up for you personally.Guided Meditation:
In the final part of this episode, Chantel leads a 10-minute guided meditation designed to help you identify and process any lingering emotions. This exercise helps you fully complete the emotional cycle and release any emotional exhaustion you may be carrying.COMING SOON:
Don’t forget! My new Emotional Coaching Mastery Program is opening soon, where we’ll dive even deeper into these principles to help you process emotions and recharge so you can show up fully for yourself and those you lead.Show Notes: Here

Chantel explores why we often default to this “fixer” mindset and how we can begin to heal it by shifting from doing to being.

Stick around for a powerful guided meditation designed to help you notice and release the fixer, and simply allow yourself to be.

What the inner fixer and doer are, and why they show up The role of the fixer in protecting us in the past Why the fixer mindset may no longer be serving you today How constantly doing and fixing can lead to overwhelm and disconnection The importance of moving from doing to being in our daily lives A guided meditation to help you lovingly notice, allow, and rest the fixerTakeaways:
