Going Guilt Free
Going Guilt Free
Sarah Dodsley
This podcast is designed for the people pleasers, rescuers and fixers of this world who are exhausted and drained and fed up with not being seen! It's time to break those patterns of self sabotaging behaviour and put yourself first, get over the past and learn how to enjoy this messy life without feeling guilty.
S2 Ep 4 Why is life so unfair?
In this episode I get stuck into why we find unfairness or injustice so hard to manage and how it's actually hardwired into us for very good reason. I share the ways in which these reactions show up for us from the driver that cuts us up on the motorway to the hurtful and more personal events that get stuck on repeat in our heads driving us crazy. I share with you why this isn't your fault and ways to work through it that won't involve you beating yourself up for not having your s*** together.

It's not all in your head...
In this episode I talk about how much time we spend analysing what is going on in our minds and explain that our emotions are felt in the body. By exploring what things feel like in the body, we can get get clear on what is at the core of the issue and release it without getting stuck in analytical, unhelpful patterns of thought. I talk you through how to identify where in your body you feel your emotions and ways that you can improve your stress response.

Episode 4 - Working with your Inner Critic
The voice in your head that tells you that you are too lazy, stupid, ugly, useless. That voice that sabotages all your good efforts and ruins your moments of joy. It's universal but yet we keep the narrative hidden and rarely talk about how unkind we are to ourselves. In this episode I am shining a light on the truth of the inner critic, why this part of us is so mean and some techniques to help you turn the volume down on them! Let's dig in.

In this episode I talk about why we feel angry, how we are biologically hardwired to feel anger and how it doesn't have to hijack us anymore.

Episode 1 - Feeling guilty about feeling
In this very first episode I share with you the very common issue of feeling guilty about feeling negative emotions. Rejecting and beating ourselves up for feeling angry, sad, frustration or anything that is uncomfortable. I talk to you about why this is and what you can do about it. You do not have to stay stuck and continue to stuff down and numb out from feeling discomfort. Let me walk you through a much more productive way that will free you from being dragged down in to this sabotaging cycle.
