  • Overcoming limiting beliefs and embracing your desires
    Feb 19 2025

    Have you ever felt weird about being happy that you totally self-sabotage it with limiting beliefs that make you spiral in fear or doubt? In this live episode hosted on Substack, I share about a moment of joy that took a quick turn into self-doubt and fear of judgment. After celebrating a big win, I found myself spiraling with thoughts that completely knocked me off the joy high I was riding. Together, we’re going to move through a shadow work and inner child practice around our desires… something many of us have been too scared to name.

    This episode is for you if:

    * You sometimes feel like joy, love, or success isn’t really meant for you.

    * You worry about being judged or losing people when you’re thriving.

    * You want to learn how shadow work can help you feel safe and grounded in your joy and what you desire.

I’ll share some hard-won lessons about what’s really hiding underneath those requests and how to talk about them in a way that actually lands.

    * You feel unheard or misunderstood when you ask for what you need.

    * You’re not sure how to tell the difference between a want, a desire, and a deeper need.

    “I was constantly anxious and shutting down in any conversation that I perceived as conflict. As a lifelong people pleaser I often put my feelings and needs after everyone else’s. After only 12 days in this Mastermind group I was able to calmly communicate boundaries to my husband and that was something I was never able to do before.” - Sarai (Spring 2024 co-hort)
