be where you are 🎯
what if where you are right now was enough? how does my saying that make you react/feel?
in our latest episode of ‘inprocess’, my podcast co-host, kimberlin bolton, and i break down how to allow where you are to be enough (without forcing anything to be anything but what it is).
easier said than done, yes. but like all worthy growth curves, we’re not seeking a perfect outcome in this endeavor.
in this 23-minute bite-sized episode (or a super-quick 11.5 minutes on 2x speed)...
kimberlin shares about her career/success orientation and how that was rooted in her deeper desire for love and acceptance. (might you relate?)
we decipher the (often hard to notice) difference between being motivated by purpose vs being motivated by external validation.
i talk about defining success for yourself and unwinding all the things you were told it had to mean.
we break down why ‘the pursuit of happiness’ puts us in a position to always favor the future (versus the present) and be in a mindset of chasing. then share how to balance presence alongside future goals.
kimberlin learns how her daily choices are setting her up for the future and that compels her to stay more present.
she also explores her relationship with being grounded in her physical body, despite many cultural influences telling her to do the opposite.
i share about discerning between anxiety vs intuition (and knowing which beliefs and feelings to believe and on which to act).
we discuss how growth isn’t linear and requires plateau moments to pause, integrate, celebrate, and recalibrate.
we cap it all off by talking about the distinct difference between trusting/allowing and controlling/resisting… and how your outcomes will be impacted depending on which you choose.
what’s your biggest takeaway and/or first action as a result of listening? i would love to hear your reply!
