I’m inviting you to embrace the fact that sometimes life is going to suck. It is an optional thought, yes, but what if it was still okay? Showing up for these experiences, knowing that they’re an inevitable half of our human life can help you grow and move past them so much more freely, and I’m sharing how to do that on this episode.
We are in a time of economic uncertainty for many, and the world is collectively experiencing a lot of money drama. Our money mindset can tend to fade into the background when doing thought work because we’re so sure that our thoughts about money represent unchangeable circumstances. So, it’s no surprise if you have paralyzing, anxiety-inducing thoughts around making money or a lack thereof – now or any other time.
Discover the importance of this work in feeling secure in your moral value and worth, and why you, as a human, have inherent and intrinsic value just for existing. It’s no surprise that women tend to experience a lot of emotional drama when it comes to financial conversations or discussing their economic worth, and I’m untangling all of this on the podcast today.
People who are socialized as or identify as women are often discouraged from experiencing true pleasure, so even the things that we do during “me-time” are usually a social construct of what is acceptable. This is why I came up with the pleasure first principle and today, I’m showing you why prioritizing pleasure is necessary and how you can do this in your own life.
I’m bringing two more of my students on the podcast today, Marissa and Deb. They’ve both been in The Society for over a year now, and they are amazing examples of what is possible with the work that we’re doing in there. One of the main topics we’re talking about this week is dating, which is something I get a lot of questions from you about, so I know that you’ll recognize some of these thought patterns and that you’ll find these conversations helpful.
I know all of you will be able to relate to having moments where your brain seems to go to worst-case scenarios; where you imagine all the horrible things that could potentially happen in your life, or what I call a “what-if parade.” Even though I’ve dedicated my life to the practice of thought work, I’m no exception, and today, I’m showing you why this is normal and what you can do when this happens.
