    041: Balancing Your Masculine & Feminine Energy with Geisa Barra Cordeiro

    In today's episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Gesia Barra Cordeiro, a fellow coach and friend. Geisa is a communicator and leadership coach, and a happily married mom of two. After becoming a mother, Geisa realized that the first connection we need to build is with ourselves. This sent her on a quest to discover her feminine nature that resides in all of us, together with our masculine energy. Learning to balance the two has significantly impacted Geisa's personal and professional life. In the show, she shares her main strategies to help moms connect to the true essence within. We are a part of nature, turning inwards, showing ourselves and others compassion, and forgiving ourselves are essential to create this balance. Key Topics What are feminine and masculine energies? (04:53)We are nature, and as women, we are connected to the seasons and moon cycles. Understanding these can help you function in a more feminine way. (10:04)We were not made only to survive. We were made to live fully. To thrive we need to connect to ourselves by turning in. (18:05)How to start connecting to your feminine energy.

    040: Perfectionism, Authenticity & A Dare

    In today's episode, I discuss a topic that has taken over my life for many years—perfectionism. It came up during a coaching session I had with a new coach. She asked me, "What would it be like to take the risk and dare to show up as yourself, to the fullest of who you are?" This got me thinking about how perfectionism impacted my life for so many years and how I want to show up now. Perfectionism is sometimes confused with striving to do your best, but, in reality, it has nothing to do with doing your best. It's about trying to control the uncontrollable. It's filled with self-criticism, unachievable standards, overthinking, fear of judgment from others, and much more. One of the solutions to perfectionism is the buzzword authenticity – being who you truly are. Moving from perfectionism to being authentic is not something you can do overnight. But you can learn to do it by starting small, setting boundaries and getting to know yourself. In the show, I share strategies on how to do just that. At the end of the show, I leave you with a dare. A dare similar to the one I was asked, but this one's from me to you. Key Topics What is perfectionism? (04:41)The massive benefits of showing up as yourself. Spoiler, you save time and energy, and create a safe space for others to show up as themselves. (10:54)Strategies to start being more authentic today. (14:52)The dare.
