Hey Lovely Souls,
Welcome back to Your Spiritual Besties Podcast! Today, we are diving deep into a topic that hits close to home for many of us: feeling stuck in a funk and we look at it from the lens of the solar plexus chakra.
We explore the various factors that can contribute to this state of being, from external circumstances to internal existential crises. I open up about my own experience navigating a mild midlife crisis and the pivotal role confidence and purpose played in finding my way through.
Together, we discuss practical strategies for breaking free from the funk and rebuilding confidence and self-worth. We emphasize the importance of setting goals, creating to-do lists, and engaging in resistance training to cultivate strength and increase our sense of worth and confidence. We also delve into the power of self-reflection, celebrating daily accomplishments, and pushing ourselves outside of our comfort zones to foster personal growth.
Join us as we uncover the transformative journey of reclaiming our confidence and self-worth, guided by the wisdom of the solar plexus chakra.
