This week, I’m going to be answering questions I’ve gotten on social media lately. These questions were mostly from other coaches, but whether you’re a life coach yourself or not, I guarantee you’ll find some gems here that you’ll be able to apply to your life.
If you’re someone who has accomplished many things in your life up to this point, like having gone to college, graduate school, landing your dream job, or a promotion, but in the back of your mind think, “Yeah but those things don’t count,” and often find yourself consulting experts to be the authority in your life, this episode is for you.
Today’s topic is one that any human with a body has experienced. Whether it’s a daily occurrence or a more occasional one for you, we all go through this complex paradox of wanting our bodies to follow a manual we have for it. In other words, we freak out when our bodies behave in a way we wish they didn’t.
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.
