This is about the biggest mistake I made on my healing journey. And look, I don't really believe in mistakes... but if I hadn't done this thing, I would have reached self-acceptance and self-love SO much faster.So what's this elusive thing I'm talking about?I started my healing journey because I wanted to CHANGE myself. I was sick of my own shit - but in a way where I wanted to completely start again, write a new chapter, and push the real me to the side. Problem is that when you start healing because you have shame around yourself, when you're trying to avoid who you really are... how can you actually allow your authentic self to shine through?In this episode, you'll discover:Why starting your healing journey from a place of self-rejection keeps you stuckThe difference between your "authentic self" and your "best self"How conditional self-love is just perfectionism in disguiseWhy we become MORE critical of ourselves as we build awareness (instead of more compassionate)How to stop doing things because you "should" and start doing things because you genuinely want toWhy the anxious, nervous, judgmental parts of you deserve acknowledgementThe pattern you're carrying on when you criticise yourselfHere's the truth: you weren't put on this earth to be perfect. You were put here to be YOU. And the more conditions and expectations you put around that, the more difficult life becomes.So what would happen if you stopped running from the parts of yourself you don't like... and started embracing them instead?Perfect for: Highly sensitive people (HSP), empaths, perfectionists, people on a healing journey, anyone who's been working on themselves but still feels stuck, sensitive souls struggling with self-acceptanceFREE RESOURCES & WAYS TO WORK TOGETHERNot sure where to start?
