Scared As F**k And Doing It Anyway, Showing Up Authentically

Welcome to the Scared as F**k & Doing it Anyway, Showing Up Authentically podcast, with host Paula Schuster. Tune in weekly to hear raw, unfiltered and unedited conversations about getting out of the cycles of self-abandonment, taking off the masks we put on to be accepted, shedding the conditioning that tells us we're selfish for putting ourselves first, getting out of achievement mode, ditching the “good girl” persona, forgetting about what we “should do”, tuning into our intuition for guidance on our own unique path, and Living. Life. On. Our. Terms.    Together we’ll wake up to life and stop this crazy epidemic around checking everyone else’s boxes but our own. We will peel back the layers of conditioning and talk about what it means to live according to our own rules and desires, because what we don’t change, we choose. We will muster the courage and discipline to make changes for ourselves and show up differently.    My goal is for this show to inspire you to become more authentic and learn to love yourself……MORE. In addition to conversations, I’ll throw in a meditation here and there, and some sound baths.   If you’re ready to feel better, more fulfilled, more at ease, more aligned with yourself, more comfortable in your own body, and be nicer to yourself, then subscribe now and join me on this empowering journey of self-discovery and transformation, because no one is coming to save you. It’s an inside job. Authenticity is our greatest freedom and we’re all Scared As F**k And Doing It Anyway.

  2. How to Let It Be Messy with MaryBeth | E30

    How to Let It Be Messy with MaryBeth | E30

    Send us a Text Message. We would love to hear what you think of this episode or if you have any feedback for us! In this episode, MaryBeth, a sensitive person raised in a conservative household with 8 siblings, where there were a lot of boxes to check, expectations to fill, and rules to follow, shares how that was all confining and confusing, and set her on a path of not needing things, shrinking herself, and people pleasing. For most of her life she felt like she was always too much and never enough, and felt like she didn’t fit in. Now a self-proclaimed multi-faceted, hot mess with ADHD, MaryBeth finally figured out that she doesn’t need to fit in, and she courageously reveals her personal journey to embracing her free spirit, and accepting and allowing who she really is, and where she still struggles with being her authentic self. Now she has a podcast about empowering women and focuses on helping others go from stuck in a life that feels like someone else's to becoming fierce through messy action, baby steps, and cultivating confidence.   Take Aways 1.    Stop pushing yourself to fit into a box and be here for all that isn’t that 2.    The in between time is life. It’s not about arriving anywhere 3.    Let it be a mess because life is messy and “that’s correct” 4.    Transition and change are constants in life, we aren’t always going to be in the same type of transition, everything is a season, and everything is temporary 5.    Let yourself be a blob sometimes with no demands – you have to listen to the episode to get this one! Ahhhhhahahaha! 6.    Let you be your choice. Stop abandoning yourself. Choose yourself and what you want 7.    Ask yourself where the demand is coming from. Give yourself permission to stop placing demands on yourself 8.    Being inauthentic is constantly reinforced from all angles in our society. It takes mindful, courageousness to be authentic 9.    There are so many opportunities every day, big and small, where you can choose to be authentic, choose authenticity 10. Being productive does not determine your worth. The fact that you are breathing determines your worth   Connect with MaryBeth Freebie: https://thefierceframework.myflodesk.com/focus The FIERCE Framework Podcast https://www.youtube.com/@thefierceframework https://open.spotify.com/show/0govqPfRs1AvBwwfuKwtIo IG: https://www.instagram.com/thefierceframework TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thefierceframework   Connect with Paula Business website https://www.reikiflowmn.com/ Email paula@reikiflowmn.com FB https://www.facebook.com/paulanschuster/ IG https://www.instagram.com/paula_nicole_71/ Podcast website https://www.scaredasfuckanddoingitanyway.com/   MUD\WTR 15% off discount link mudwtr.com/PAULASCHUSTER   The Scared As F**k And Doing It Anyway FB group is coming soon!

    How to Lead a Soul-led Life with Julia Christine | E29

    Send us a Text Message. We would love to hear what you think of this episode or if you have any feedback for us! In this episode, Julia Christine, an Intuitive Healer and podcast host, shares her story and so much wisdom around her growth and evolution into the woman she is today. Julia is the host of the Life After Breath podcast where she uses a morning breath practice as the entryway into discovering an awareness of ourselves and a connection to Source Energy, so that we can move into complete wellness and live the life of our dreams. She is passionate about breaking down the societal and generational structures and narratives that keep us stuck and takes an approach of curiosity and exploration...without judgement. Julia is an Intuitive Healer and uses her intuition and Spiritual Gifts to heal and remove stagnant energy and help her clients connect to their inner being and Source Energy while providing guidance and direction towards their own inner compass.     Take Aways 1.    Listen to your inner voice, use your feelings as a guide 2.    Words carry energy & they matter. How you speak to yourself matters 3.    Awareness is the key to change & transformation, it’s not always easy & it comes in layers, but it is key to everything 4.    Boundaries can make you a new person 5.    It’s ok to not know who you are & what you want. Find ways to get in touch with yourself that allow the process of self-discovery. Get curious WITHOUT JUDGMENT & ask what is really true for you. This will allow you to live a soul-led life 6.    There are 5 major facets of wellness, the branches of our tree of life: physical, mental, spiritual, sexual, financial. These are the things that have massive influence on our well-being. The pathway to these 5 is awareness, which is the trunk of the tree. Build your awareness muscle and explore in the branches of your tree through practices like breathwork 7.    You can be a sexual being & a spiritual being at the same time. Honor both of those parts of yourself. YES! 8.    You cannot move forward if you are mired in guilt & shame, get curious in a non-judgmental way 9.    Working on loving yourself is a process. Allow it to be. Each layer brings more profound & powerful change & is shorter than the last 10.  You are allowed to have shitty human moments, have a non-judgmental s****y day & move on, then start the new day in gratitude 11. Choose your hard. Making changes & practicing self-love is hard, but sitting in self-hatred, shame & guilt is harder 12. Growing & evolving means you will leave some people behind, but you will also find your true tribe 13. No one can make you feel or do anything. Your feelings & reactions & responses are your choice 14. Proof of our worth is in the air we breathe 15. We are co-creating our life, God/source/universe is flowing through us. We are that in physical form, we can’t fail, & there is no room for doubt    Connect w-Julia Schedule a healing session with Julia through FB or IG FB Julia Christine IG @juliachristinehealth   Life After Breath podcast Podcast FB Community https://facebook.com/groups/7033522973348198/   Connect w-Paula Website https://www.reikiflowmn.com/ FB https://www.facebook.com/paulanschuster/ IG https://www.instagram.com/paula_nicole_71/   MUD\WTR 15% off discount link mudwtr.com/PAULASCHUSTER

She shares all the raw and real emotions, and perspectives of her and her kids, as well as some personal details about the things that are making the decision so hard. She knows not everyone will agree with her choices and that’s ok because she is doing things her way and allowing her kids the opportunity to be the heroes of their own stories.

It’s so freeing.

    Follow Your Inner Wisdom with Maria Adlam | E25

    Send us a Text Message. We would love to hear what you think of this episode or if you have any feedback for us! In this episode, Maria Adlam, whom I adore so much, shares her personal and professional journey, and how that led her to connect deeper with her inner wisdom and to trust her intuition. Maria is a mum of two, an Intuitive Counsellor, Parent Mentor, a Reiki Master, and a Podcaster. Her passion is uplifting Mamas and walking alongside them to connect with their own inner wisdom and encourage them to shine their magic into the world. Maria does this all beautifully and artfully from a deeply grounded, nurturing place, and with so much compassion and grace. I love her so much.    Take Aways 1.    Be aware of your intuition, your inner guidance, and follow the breadcrumbs. Your inner wisdom will always put you on the right path for you 2.    Get curious about yourself and everything and everyone around you 3.    Being true to your personal values means more in life than a bigger paycheck 4.    Be the strongest advocate for your children no matter what anyone says, including doctors and other so called authorities 5.    Learning Reiki is such a gift, for yourself and for your family. It opens doors to everything, and connects you to your intuition 6.    Have and honor non-negotiable daily practices for yourself. These are what set you up to be able to serve everyone around you from a loving, patient, present space. What are yours? Get creative with fitting them in because it’s not always doable to carve out the time to get them done in the way you like to 7.    Find your people, your REAL people. They can come into your life in the most unsuspecting and inexplicable ways 8.    Gratitude is SO POWERFUL, no matter how basic. Find the good things in your day and life, even if it’s noticing the little things, like the sun was shining. Having a morning and evening gratitude or appreciation practice can carry you through the most difficult times in your life 9.    Find the beauty, awe, and wonder in nature everywhere and appreciate it, even if it’s a little flower or weed trying to poke through the concrete in the city   Connect with Maria IG: @parenting_with_soul  Soul Full Mamas FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/934624827805325/ Soul Full Mamas podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mariaadlam   Connect with Paula Business website https://www.reikiflowmn.com/ Email paula@reikiflowmn.com Personal FB https://www.facebook.com/paulanschuster/ IG https://www.instagram.com/paula_nicole_71/ Podcast website https://www.scaredasfuckanddoingitanyway.com/   If you’re interested in trying MUD\WTR, here is a link you can use to get 15% off mudwtr.com/PAULASCHUSTER   The Scared As F**k And Doing It Anyway FB group is coming soon!
