S3:07 Bravery & Fear
On this episode of The Lightcast Podcast, I talk about how bravery often feels like fear. I discuss how fear wants to keep us safe in our comfort zone and how challenging it can feel to leap into the unknown. But what happens when everything you want to experience is on the other side of that fear? I shine a light on how we can uncover the wealth of our potential and capabilities when we brave out of our comfort zone into our growth zone.

S3:06 Integrating Knowledge into Embodied Wisdom
On this episode of The Lightcast Podcast, I talk about how easy it is to get stuck acquiring more and more knowledge without allowing it to integrate. I discuss how the “healing hustle” of learning more information can be counterintuitive to our growth and healing. I ask many questions to help you reflect on what you’ve learned and how you are putting it into practice to live by the wisdom you’ve attained. I shine a light on how you can practice embodying what you’ve learned to see the changes you want to feel in your life.

S3:04 Embracing Authenticity & Releasing What Hinders You
On this episode of The Lightcast Podcast, I talk about how the process of embracing and expressing our authentic self involves a release of what dims our light. I discuss how the protective mechanisms that helped us survive may be the very behaviors that hinder our growth into the expression of our truest self. I shine a light on how depression is often a signal to get our attention and call us back home to ourselves.

S3:03 Perfectionism as Protection from Shame & Insecurity
On this episode of The Lightcast Podcast, I talk about how perfectionism is often a protective mechanism from feelings of insecurity, inadequacy, and shame. I discuss how the fear of being shamed or rejected develops and how we may protect ourselves from re-experiencing it. I shine a light on how you can start to break the shame cycle and learn to compassionately embrace all of yourself.
