Metanoia Mentor REBECCA ANTON

In this episode I get really honest on my faith journey. I discuss how religious fear caused anxiety and crippled my decision making skills as a teenager and young adult. I share a little bit of my journey of how I learned to let go of fear, make decisions, and trust my instinct.  

What have I learned through the process of resigning from my job mid-contract? What have I learned through the interview process? What is my new job? What have I learned about my worth and effectiveness as a teacher? This one is really honest, a little "rambly", and totally worth the listen. 

In this episode I share the process of how the lest month has led me to quit my job. Yes, in the middle of a pandemic, in the middle of the school year, and in the middle of a contract.  I share a lot of important lessons I have learned about change and keeping grounded through this process. I share why you can't compare your hard, or the risks you feel are at stake to anyone else's hard or risks at stake.  I share how I had an eye-opening therapy session about co-dependency and where I am going next in my career and life.  I hope you enjoy it! I really think its worth listening all the way through! 

In this episode, we discuss the guilt, shame, and feeling of responsibility for others that come when we choose to pursue the change that is necessary for our own happiness and growth.  These feelings are normal but wrong. You are not selfish. You should not feel guilt or shame. You were created and placed on this earth to be exactly who you are. Being anything less than you is cheating yourself but also the world. 

This episode dives into the meaning of the word Metanoia and lays the foundation for accepting and embracing change in our lives.
