    Ep. 52 | The Habit of Making Yourself Small

    Have you ever held back in a conversation because you didn’t want to talk too much? Waited for someone else to invite you because you didn’t want to bother them? Said “I don’t care” when someone asked what you wanted but secretely you cared a lot?  These little moments can be part of a much bigger habit of making yourself small. In this episode, I’m talking about what it really means to take up space—and why it has very little to do with being the loudest person in the room. It’s about allowing yourself to have wants, preferences, opinions, needs, ideas, and dreams. It’s about believing that you matter enough to be included in your own life. You’ll learn: What it actually means to take up spaceSome of the subtle ways we make ourselves smallHow people-pleasing can disconnect you from what you wantWhy making yourself small can steal your joy and alivenessA simple practice to start noticing yourself againWhat would it look like to stop disappearing from your own life? If that unsettles you a little bit, I want you to lean into this episode. I made it for you. 🎁 Free Resource Ready to quiet your inner critic and experience more peace, confidence, and emotional freedom?

    Ep. 51 | How Good Are You at Receiving?

    How good are you at receiving? Not just help. Love. Compliments. Rest. Attention. Support. Joy. Friendship. Grace. Being celebrated. Being cared for. Being seen. In this episode, we get real. I’m sharing what happened when my coach challenged me to notice everything I was receiving during a retreat in Maui—and how that assignment turned into a very uncomfortable crash course in receiving. From getting sick before a boat ride, to needing help from multiple women on the boat ride, to realizing how deeply I had learned not to take up too much space.   In this episode, I’ll also take you inside a powerful “receiving circle” exercise where I learned to open myself up to the gift of receiving. You'll learn:  What a “receiving set point” is and how to identify yoursWhy receiving can feel selfish, weak, vulnerable, or uncomfortableThe subtle ways we deflect compliments, help, love, support, attention, and careWhy taking up space can be part of becoming a better receiverWhy allowing someone else to give to you can actually be a gift to themHow to expand your capacity to receive by just 1–5% You don’t need to become an exceptional receiver overnight. Start by noticing what is already being offered to you. Then see if you can let it land.🎁 Free Resource Ready to quiet your inner critic and experience more peace, confidence, and emotional freedom?

    Ep. 50 | The Law of Giving and Receiving

    You know how to give. You give to your kids, your spouse, your home, your calling, your work, your neighbors. You show up. You help. You serve. You take care of people. But how good are you at receiving? Receiving love? Receiving compliments?Receiving appreciation? Receiving forgiveness?  The Law of Giving and Receiving teaches that you can only give to the level at which you’re willing to receive. For many women, receiving is the half of the spiritual exchange we’ve never really learned how to do. It feels foreign and for many women it feels selfish.  In this powerful episode, we’re exploring what it means to become an exceptional receiver—and why receiving is an essential part of giving.  You’ll learn: How continually giving without receiving leads to depletion and resentmentWhy your ability to receive directly affects your ability to giveWhy receiving is an essential part of the spiritual exchangeHow you can have blessings, love, and goodness all around you without fully experiencing themWhy becoming a better receiver can help giving feel more natural, generous, and joyful What receiving has to do with grace, forgiveness, God's love, and the Atonement This is Part 1 of a two-part series on giving and receiving. You’ve spent a lifetime learning how to give. What might change if you became just as good at receiving? 🎁 Free Resource Ready to quiet your inner critic and experience more peace, confidence, and emotional freedom?

    Ep. 49 | Are You Missing the Best Moments of Your Life?

    What if your best moments are happening when you’re not paying attention? In this episode, I’m sharing what I learned from my six-week joy experiment, including one of my biggest discoveries: joy happens all around us. I thought pursuing joy would mean finding more hobbies, scheduling more fun, getting out of the house, and trying new things. And I did some of that. But some of the most joyful moments I experienced happened in places I never would have planned: folding laundry while laughing with my kids, standing outside Costco after a rainstorm, and watching a sea turtle observe a yoga class.   You’ll learn: How experimenting with joy helped me discover what makes me feel most aliveWhy joy requires attention, presence, and spaceHow giving your brain permission to go “off duty” can help you experience more of your lifeWhere I unexpectedly found some of my most joyful momentsHow to start your own joy experiment and discover what brings you joyThere is so much beauty, connection, playfulness, pleasure, and joy available to us. Give yourself permission to experiment, slow down, pay attention, and discover where your joy lives. 🎁 Free Resource Ready to quiet your inner critic and experience more peace, confidence, and emotional freedom?

    Ep. 46 | You Can't Hate Yourself Happy: 10 Sneaky Ways You're Judging Yourself

    Most people believe self-criticism motivates change. But what if it's actually the thing keeping you stuck? I recently returned from a retreat in Maui with a room full of ambitious women—many of whom have built million-dollar and multi-million-dollar businesses. I joined the group because I wanted to be around women who would stretch me. But once I got there, I noticed insecurity, comparison, and self-judgment started showing up in my own mind. As I observed my thoughts throughout the week, I realized just how sneaky self-judgment can be. It rarely sounds like "I hate myself." More often, it disguises itself as questions, high standards, perfectionism, comparison, and the belief that you should be further along than you are. In this episode, I'm sharing 10 sneaky ways you may be judging yourself without even realizing it. You'll learn: •10 sneaky ways self-judgement shows up • Why successful women struggle with self-judgement too• The hidden ways self-judgment keeps you stuck• What "The Judgement Trap" is and how to stop it• Why self-compassion is not the same as self-complacency• How to pursue growth without making yourself wrong If you've ever wondered why you can be kind to everyone else but struggle to offer that same compassion to yourself, this episode is for you. 🎁 Free Resource: The Inner Critic Fix: 3 Simple Steps for the LDS Woman Who's Tired of Being Her Own Worst Critic Download here: beckygarnercoaching.com/innercriticfix
