How does your ego show up in your life and how does it affect the professional and relational decisions you make?

What does success look like to you? As today's guest, Kim Stark, would argue, perhaps it's time to redefine our version of success. Kim, an experienced entrepreneur, business coach, and podcaster, made the inspiring journey from a high-stress film career to establishing her own business.

Have you ever found yourself stuck in the cycle of procrastination and perfectionism, wondering if there's a way out? In today’s episode, guest Dr. Christine Li, a renowned clinical psychologist and procrastination coach and host Violetta unpack the nuances of procrastination and how you overcome and thrive. Dr. Li takes us through her unique coaching process that combines mindset, time, and emotion management to help combat underperformance, and shares her journey of the past decade helping people break free from procrastination's grip.   We plunge into our shared human experience of procrastination, probing its deep-rooted connections with identity, ambition, and perfectionism. Together, we examine the paradox of how ambition and procrastination can coexist, and the critical role of self-reflection and self-care in our personal and professional journeys. Furthermore, we delve into the often intertwined nature of procrastination and perfectionism, acknowledging that while it can hinder us, it can also be harnessed as a powerful motivator to improve and grow.   In this thoughtful discussion, Dr. Li emphasizes the power of mindset and highlights strategies for compartmentalizing focus and avoiding overwhelm. We also explore the importance of rest and self-forgiveness in the face of guilt often associated with procrastination. To wrap up, we focus on taking mindful action to create lasting change and inspire others through our own experiences of overcoming procrastination and perfectionism.   STAY CONNECTED WITH DR.

After countless requests, I’ve finally recorded the talk I gave at a women’s event some time ago. I’ve had to make some adaptations because there were visuals I used alongside the talk. Sit back and prepare yourself to reflect and receive as I share what happens when we morph into the leader and type of person we think we need to be to succeed in our field of work.   I worked as a leader, educator and guide in a male-dominated industry for almost 10 years, the place I both lost and found myself simultaneously.   Being authentic and breaking societal norms and familial expectations isn’t as easy as it sounds. Listen in and hear about some of the real blocks that get in the way of true, aligned success and wellbeing, especially as ambitious female leaders.   Thank you for being here and joining me on a mission to close the gender gap from the inside out! By tuning into this episode, you’re take massive action towards creating a successful life that is an authentic expression of you all the while impacting generational change.   THANK YOU.

Do you ever overreact to seemingly small things? Or how about under-reacting and struggling to speak up for yourself and communicate your needs? The other day my partner walked in on me in the shower and I instantly got angry and felt rage bubbling up! In this episode, I unpack how memories from our childhood are stored in our body and unconscious mind and how our emotional triggers are usually not what they appear to be.   I get vulnerable with you and share the truth behind the unexpected anger I felt in this moment, what was behind it and how I was able to release and let it go quickly. We dive deep into boundaries, the subtle signs that may tell us our boundaries have been violated and how we can regulate our emotions and restore connection in our relationships.   We explore how the people closest to us tend to be the ones who trigger the most intense emotions, and how seemingly innocuous phrases like "I'm fine" block us from being vulnerable, open and honest with ourselves and others.   The path towards emotional self-mastery lies in learning to express our needs, find the delicate balance between our own expectations and those of others, and establish healthy boundaries. This story sharing invites you to harness the courage to face your emotions head-on, break free from self-sabotaging patterns, and embrace the transformative power of emotional self-mastery for lasting inner peace, depth in love and generational change.   STAY CONNECTED WITH VIOLETTA: Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/expand_and_impact/ Follow us on Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@expandandimpact  Website: https://www.expandandimpact.com/  Links and Resources: [Sign up for the WAITLIST] for Let It Go Immersive Workshop: https://www.expandandimpact.com/letitgoworkshop [FREE] Energetic Boundaries Audio: https://www.expandandimpact.com/boundaries-visualization    Be sure to tag @expand_and_impact on Instagram and share this episode with your community if you or someone you know has benefitted from this episode.

Get ready to challenge your beliefs about validation, self-worth, and success. This episode creates space for introspection as we unpack the complexities and nuances surrounding external validation and its impact on our self-worth as women.   In typical Expand and Impact fashion, we go against the grain, questioning whether or not wanting to be recognized by others and validated is such a bad thing. There’s a fine balance between seeing and validating yourself so that you can truly tap into deeper levels of self-trust and confidence from within, and also enjoying achievement and being seen by others.  We explore how to acknowledge and welcome all parts of ourselves, especially those colored with challenging emotions or memories.   We are redefining the true essence of success, moving beyond achievements and possessions to explore the significance connection, inner peace, and a supportive network plays in our overall well-being, purpose and happiness. Using thought-provoking questions, we invite you to reflect on your desires, how you wish to feel, and what you may need to relinquish. Join the conversation and alter your perception of success, validation, and self-worth, paving the way for healthier decision-making, reduced stress, and heightened fulfillment.   STAY CONNECTED WITH VIOLETTA: Links and Resources: [FREE] Mini Course: Discover How Busy High-Achievers stop the emotional rollercoaster of negative thoughts and achieve lasting states of mental peace to harness even more success: https://www.expandandimpact.com/checklist  [FREE] Energetic Boundaries Audio: https://www.expandandimpact.com/boundaries-visualization  Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/expand_and_impact/ Follow us on Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@expandandimpact  Website: https://www.expandandimpact.com/    Be sure to tag @expand_and_impact on Instagram and share this episode with your community if you or someone you know has benefitted from this episode.
