    62. Self-awareness alone won't fix your self-sabotage. Here's what's actually happening in your nervous system, and the truth about creating real change (after 2 decades of trying)

    If you've ever understood exactly why you do something, and then did it anyway (again), then this episode is for you. I spent nearly 2 decades doing genuine, deep, inner work. Therapy, somatic practices, learning, even helping clients. I could name every wound, explain every pattern, and still spent years trying to 'get out of my own way'. Feeling at odds with different parts of myself. So, let's dive deep about the paradox of being a deeply self-aware person who still self-sabotages. Why awareness alone isn't the mechanism of change. What's actually happening in your nervous system while you're busy being frustrated that nothing is changing. And what I finally learned was 'the thing' that moves the needle. 🔑 https://diajin.com (FREE resources & paid offers) ✍🏼Substack: https://diajin.substack.com/subscribe Socials: 🐝 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/diajin 🐝 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@diajin 🐝 YouTube:https://youtube.com/@diajin

    61. Leap, and the net will appear (a short film on embracing uncertainty & life changes)

    One of my biggest lessons in life has been learning how to not brace for the fall when faced with uncertainty and change. As I reflect on the last decade of my life (from age 25 to 35), I'd say I did a pretty good job with trusting the next step before I felt fully confident to take it. I hope this may somehow resonate with you, or even inspire you to take the leap. cheers to the open road and question marks. This short video essay was created from a Substack article I wrote shortly after my 35th birthday. 🔑 https://diajin.com (FREE resources & paid offers) ✍🏼Substack: https://diajin.substack.com/subscribe Socials: 🐝 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/diajin 🐝 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@diajin 🐝 YouTube:https://youtube.com/@diajin

    58. Am I too good at being alone? Solitude vs. loneliness, how to cultivate a rich inner life. Learning to be alone, but not lonely.

    I've always been someone who's comfortable alone. Traveling solo, going out by myself, not really needing anyone around. I was proud of being independent, self-sufficient, and a low-maintenance friend. In this video we go into the different faces of loneliness, what hyper-independence or being a low-maintenance friend is costing us, and why we can feel alone even in our closest relationships, along with what it looks like to have a rich inner life while still letting connection in and flourish. 🔑 https://diajin.com (FREE resources & paid offers) ✍🏼Substack: https://diajin.substack.com/subscribe Socials: 🐝 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/diajin 🐝 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@diajin 🐝 YouTube:https://youtube.com/@diajin topics: self-help, loneliness, being alone, solitude, how to be alone not lonely, personal growth, healing journey

    57. Tired of self-help and healing? Signs of the self-help trap, why we get stuck in it, and how to move beyond 'doing the work'

    Self-help and healing are (in my opinion) necessary and very impactful on our journey of being alive. However, there can come a point where it becomes the trap. The more we heal, the more we're experts at scanning for fixes.
