🌿 This podcast is now archived, but these conversations around self-awareness and self-compassion still matter deeply.

 I now continue this work on Anchored & Alive with Blaze, a seasonal approach to emotional regulation, burnout recovery, and building a steady, supportive relationship with yourself. Listen here.

Let’s talk about pride, doing what feels true to your soul, and putting boundaries into place to help you live with the highest personal integrity.

When we are young, it’s so easy to declare how awesome we are and how well we did something. And as we get older, it becomes harder to praise ourselves for our accomplishments or the way we handle situations. I believe there is something nourishing to be found in acknowledging how well we try, and how well we rise to the occasions of our lives.

When we act in our lives in a way that honors our deeply held values, we are acting with integrity. When it starts to unravel is when we make concessions with our values in order to placate others or honor other people’s values.

In this episode, I share my struggles with standing up for myself, battling mean thoughts about those who I feel have done me wrong, and how I’m stepping into greater alignment with the me I want to be, who is less judgmental, and more willing to receive a resolution when in conflict.

It’s not perfect, but through examining my thought and emotional process as I go through conflict, I find myself more connected to my personal integrity, and more willing to relax and receive the results of my actions and efforts.

If this episode supported you, you may enjoy my current work on Anchored & Alive with Blaze, where these ideas are explored through seasonal rhythms and deeper integration.
