Do you ever have times when your self-esteem varies like the stock market? You might feel great about yourself one day and completely shaky the next, and whether it’s something we’re explicitly aware of, like seeing a number on the scale we deem to be wrong, or it’s more ambiguous and difficult to define, this is what I call conditional self-confidence.
Ana Lopez is a sexual liberation coach, Clutch coach, and host of the podcast, Sex in Spanglish. Cris Berlingeri is an Advanced Certified weight loss coach who is also a physician, theologian, and bakery owner, and I’ve invited them on the show this week to dive into the complexities of dual socialization, and how they’ve charted a middle course that combines their traditions with their preferences.
Why do we believe that our subconscious, original thoughts have some disproportionate inherent truth or value over new thoughts we choose on purpose? This concept is one I’ve spoken about in so many ways and will never stop talking about because it’s one of the biggest impediments to making progress in your life, and I’m showing you why.
Discover what uncertainty is, why our brains hate it so much, and the solution to this conundrum. I’m showing you what you’re really fearing when you want to avoid uncertainty, why certainty is a fantasy, and how to get to a place where you don’t need to know what a future outcome will be to feel good right now.
If you have a sneaking suspicion that you’re not coaching in the way you truly want to, you’re in the right place. As I’ve fleshed out my body of work, the ways in which different marginalized identities or communities experience systems of oppression that intersect have become more and more evident, and this is where the framework of intersectional coaching has been essential for coaching at a deeper level for not just my clients, but in my self-coaching too.
Join me this week as I show you how our brains actively filter, edit, and mediate everything we perceive and think, and why this is not something to freak out about. I’m sharing a useful way to frame this so you can create more of what you want, and what the advanced level of this work looks like.
