    33: Looking Back to Move Forwards

    Looking Back to Move Forward Today I am blessed to be joined by Storyteller and Emotional Wellness Researcher Lalith Wijedoru. Having met at a conference this year we knew instantly that we had a mutual appreciation and a Podcast episode to share. Using both our personal childhood experiences and looking at the roles of our Father’s in our upbringing we find out why looking back is essential if we ever want to move forwards. So today we are going to walk you through the following: • How our father’s own upbringing affected their parenting styles • How we saw our father’s growing up • How we felt they saw us as children and how this shaped our view of our self • The impact of unexpressed or poorly expressed emotions • Why Pride can be a scary emotion • What our 8-year-old and 80-year-old selves may think of us now. You’ll leave with: • Ideas around the importance of emotional literacy • Understanding intergenerational trauma • Learnings on how to begin to heal emotional wounds • Insights into self-image and self-worth • Why Leadership is not perfection but authenticity • How to lean into forgiveness of yourself and others With Love and Empowerment X Fliss X Find Fliss and more Emotional Empowerment over at www.codesignwithfliss.com Email: hello@flissgoldsmith.com Or connect on Socials.

    32: Anger and Co Part 2

    ANGER AND CO PART 2. Anger is a very visceral emotion, I bet just thinking about anger can bring on that feeling of things bubbling over into arguments, misunderstandings and even fights. I see anger as a red-light warning that there is something going on underneath the anger – and researchers are split on whether it is a primary or secondary emotion. Luckily the tools and techniques to processing anger in a healthy way don’t rely on the category it falls in to. One of Anger’s near neighbours is Contempt (and that requires a pinch of disgust) so we are going to put it under the microscope to find out why we so often go there. (If you haven’t listened to Anger and Co Part1 it’s really beneficial to start from there and listen in sequence to the Episodes to extract the most from them) So today I am going to walk you through the following: What contempt is and how it physically feels Why contempt focuses on the inadequacy of others How creating a superiority/inferiority dynamic is damaging What external actions signal our contempt How contempt signals a need to reframe How contempt and anger on a chronic basis lead to physical ill health Why repeatedly processing anger with contempt damages mental health. You’ll leave with: The confidence to correctly identify contempt The skills to utilise the right tools from your emotional backpack to remedy it Higher level of Emotional Literacy Remedies for frequently frequented contempt pitfalls Ways to use contempt to provoke healthy change With Love and Empowerment X Fliss X Find Fliss and more Emotional Empowerment over at www.codesignwithfliss.com Or connect on Socials.

    031 - Anger and Co Part 1

    ANGER AND CO PART 1 Anger is a very visceral emotion, I bet just thinking about anger can bring on that feeling of things bubbling over into arguments, misunderstandings and even fights. I see anger as a red light warning that there is something going on underneath the anger – and researchers are split on whether it is a primary or secondary emotion. Luckily the tools and techniques to processing anger in a healthy way don’t rely on the category it falls in to. So today I am going to walk you through the following: What anger is and how it physically feels Why anger requires action How bottling it up is physically unhealthy Why letting it spill over is equally corrosive How anger is a signal that change is required What other unexpressed emotions are hiding under the surface The 4 behaviours we fall into when we are angry You’ll leave with: The confidence to correctly identify anger The skills to utilise the right tools from your emotional backpack to remedy it Higher level of Emotional Literacy 4 remedies for frequently frequented anger pitfalls Ways to use anger to provoke healthy change With Love and Empowerment X Fliss X Find Fliss and more Emotional Empowerment over at www.codesignwithfliss.com Or connect on Socials.

    28: Shame, Shame, Shame on Who? You (and me!)

    Shame, Shame, Shame on Who? You (and me!) Did you know that the majority of our negative behaviours are rooted in shame? Just the word shame evokes a pain so raw and visceral that Author of finding fish, Antwone Fisher describes how he would choose being repeatedly physically beaten over experiencing shame. Ouch indeed. If we can address our shame, our processes and reactions to it – then we have the key to more positive, productive and supportive behaviours going forward. Like the sound of that? Me too! So where are we journeying to in today’s emotional adventure? • We will explore what shame is and why it creates a feeling of UNWORTHINESS within us. • What connection FEAR has to shame and our sense of place and belonging. • We identify the 3 ELEMENTS Shame requires to thrive • I’ll explain how ‘SHAMELESS’ has been wrongly used for centuries • I reveal what the ANTIDOTE to shame is • And the strategies you need to work through and OVERCOME shame in any situation. All your relationships (including the one you have with yourself) will thank you for it. So, let’s set off together and unearth some truths to ensure your tomorrow is brighter than today. Because YOU deserve the most optimal future, whatever that looks like individually to you. It would certainly be a SHAME to miss out on this one.
