Permission

Dr. T Reyes Castillo and Silvana Deigan

Permission is a reminder that you do not need permission from someone outside of yourself to do what lights you up. You have the ability to give yourself permission to show up in whatever way you can, want, and need. This is so you can play the game of life holding all the cards. Dr. T Reyes Castillo and Silvana Deigan are sisters that will share their journey and insights on deconditioning. Every week they will be engaging in practical conversations about allowing you to govern your permission.

    S1 EP 41 The Performance Trap

    Ever chased a goal thinking it would finally make you feel "enough"—only to feel empty when you got there? This episode digs into the performance trap: the cycle of achieving more and more while still feeling unfulfilled inside. Dr. Teresa Reyes Castillo and Silvana Deigan explore why we set goals that can never actually satisfy us—like buying a fancy car hoping it will make us feel loved, or climbing the corporate ladder seeking approval we never got as kids. Spoiler: you don't just get a car and roll into a commercial where everyone's popping bottles. That's not how it works. The sisters share their own stories: Silvana's short-lived (and embarrassing) career as a conservatory dancer, Teresa's 23-year journey to become a psychologist despite being told she'd never get into a PhD program, and why the motivation behind your goals matters more than the achievement itself. In this episode: Why external achievements can't fill internal voidsThe difference between goals driven by passion vs. goals driven by approval-seekingHow "keeping up with the Joneses" leads to emptinessSilvana's brilliant "post-it note dance" exercise for letting go (and why some baggage isn't even yours)The importance of your support system over any career milestoneWhy you're still taking yourself into that fancy car—anxiety, insecurities and all Key takeaway: The performance trap is setting goals designed to fail—chasing external validation for internal fulfillment. Real satisfaction comes from knowing why you're pursuing something and surrounding yourself with people who support the real you. Permission granted: Stop performing. Start living.
