    161. Guilty Feelings and How to Use Them For Good

    Do you ever feel overwhelmed by guilt, torn between feeling blessed in your life and still wanting more? Guilt can be a heavy emotion, making you question your worth and choices. It’s something many of us carry without even realizing how deeply it affects our health, our happiness, and our ability to truly enjoy the present moment. Whether it's the guilt from not meeting expectations or the guilt passed down from family, it’s time to confront it head-on. In this episode, I dive into the complexities of guilt and how it shows up in our lives, often as two conflicting thoughts that pull us in different directions. I share my personal journey with guilt, especially how it was modeled for me growing up, and how I learned to rewrite my own "manual" for living. This manual, filled with outdated rules and expectations, often drives our feelings of guilt. But here's the good news—you have the power to rewrite it, to create a new set of rules that align with your values and desires. What you will learn in this episode: How to recognize and process guilt by connecting with your body’s emotions. The importance of rewriting your "manual" to reflect your true desires and values. Practical steps to overcome guilt and take charge of your personal growth journey. Grab your worksheet HERE! Watch this episode on YouTube. Checkout other episode HERE.

    Do you ever find yourself putting everyone else’s needs ahead of your own, only to feel unfulfilled and stuck in the same patterns? It’s time to stop quitting on yourself and take control of your journey. The truth is, quick fixes like weight loss drugs won’t bring lasting transformation.

Through personal stories and experiences, I illustrate how vital it is to take small, consistent steps toward healing and becoming the person you aspire to be.

    Do you ever feel frustrated with your relationship with food, constantly seeking comfort in it but finding that it never truly satisfies you? You might have considered or even tried weight loss drugs, hoping for a quick fix, only to realize that they don't address the deeper issues. These drugs can seem like an easy solution, but they often come with risks and don't tackle the underlying emotional and psychological factors that lead to unhealthy eating habits. Instead, they may offer temporary results, leaving you in the same cycle of frustration and disappointment.

I share my personal journey and insights as a life coach, where I've seen firsthand how addressing the root causes of these issues can lead to lasting change. Through coaching, I’ve helped women shift their mindset, break free from destructive patterns, and build a healthier relationship with themselves and their bodies. This approach is about more than just losing weight; it's about transforming your life from the inside out. What you will learn in this episode: Why weight loss drugs often fail to provide lasting results and how they can pose serious risks to your health.

    Do you ever find yourself feeling stuck in a pattern of self-doubt and frustration, especially when things don't go as planned? In a recent experience, I worked with a client who felt overwhelmed by her sister's rare and challenging health condition.

In this episode, I delve into the ups and downs of both personal and professional life, emphasizing how our mindset can significantly impact our experiences. I share how, even as a coach, I sometimes struggle with feeling like a failure when business outcomes aren't as expected. This story serves as a powerful reminder that growth and progress are often non-linear, filled with setbacks and breakthroughs.

What you will learn in this episode: The importance of recognizing and reframing negative thought patterns. The reality of non-linear progress in both personal and professional growth.
