Send us Fan Mail THE AUDACITY TO BE HUMAN NEW SERIES BEGAN WHEN I WAS FEELING HOPEFUL AND FELT I SHOULD SHARE THIS EXPERIENCE: Thinking out loud - I wanted to write a blog about: audacity, not exactly audacity, but imposter syndrome versus versus hypocrisy. My pain journey for the last year and a half, was quite an interesting journey. Not that it's over, but I am understanding what I'm dealing with, and I do expect 100% recovery because that's how my mind works. So last year, because of the attention and the time it took to work through my pain and understand how and what I needed to do within my power to heal through that situation, I would not show up as I would normally show up because I felt like a hypocrite and did not feel honorable doing lives, podcasts or or videos or anything that was about me because I'm usually a high energy, high excitement, powerful belief person type, and I wasn't feeling it. I was waking up so that I could hurry thru the day so that I could and go to bed that night to get away from the pain. and I'm not a pain pill type person. I was expecting some kind of improvement, but the improvement was so slow, I through that I should push thru. But it eventually that led to me denying the situation and ending up going back to my doctor who scheduled surgery, which did happen this year. While preparing for surgery the assistant said, yes I am guilty as well of thinking in the past that I should push thru pain and put off getting help as long as possible also -but we both have changed. Okay, so that's a new level of this experience. Imposter syndrome, when you're motivating and encouraging your clients, you want to be authentic. So I feel that if you feel a certain way, While you're going through your own personal experience or reality, if you share it, it is not to affirm whatever situation you're going through, it's to acknowledge it. I've learned from my mentors and my coaches that you don't have to pretend like you're not going through extreme pain in certain limbs of your body. That same awesome health trainer taught me that you:don't compare yourself to other people and their pain and not give yourself the attention or the affirmation that, yes, this feels like a 50, on a one to5 0 scale, this feels like a 50, but I'm doing all I know to do to get through itMy mind was having a difficult time with being honest and authentic. I didn't show up almost 99.9% of the time for that year and I almost didn't realize it, but I was in the background working on projects and things I believed in. THIS NEW SERIES WAS BORN...out of trying to deal with the fact that we as humans do go through things, and sometimes we just have to affirm and acknowledge it.
