Rethinking Blocks and Self-Sabotage: Understanding Your Protective Mechanisms

If you're into any kind of personal development, you've likely been told you have some kind of subconscious, mysterious“block” that's causing you to self-sabotage - stopping you from being the rich, sexy, successful person you want to be.

But what exactly IS a BLOCK? And if it's subconscious, how can you ever know what it is or how to get rid of it?

Ultimately, the whole concept of a block feels dismal at best. So what to do?

In this episode, we're giving an alternative perspective on personal blocks, one that's much more self-compassionate and empowering. Not only will you have a way of accessing what's been holding you back, but loving it for keeping you safe and alive all these years.

Once you understand these beautiful parts of yourself, “getting rid of your blocks” becomes a whole lot easier and a lot more fun.

Next Up in Episode 10: Have you heard that the reason you're not making the money you deserve or have the love of your life is because you have a "BLOCK"? Some mysterious thing you have inside you (but don't know you have) that's covertly ruining your life? And have you also heard that in order to have any success you have to "clear your blocks" - but that feels impossible to do since they are by default "hidden"? I don't know about you, but that feels very defeating and questionable to me. So, in our next episode, we're debunking these pop-psych "blocks" and explaining what's really going on under your mental hood, giving you practical ways to retrain your nervous system to go after all the things you want without reservations.

Turning PAIN into POWER  

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger....right?! 

Or does it? 🤔 

In this episode, we’re clarifying when, how, and why past trauma might lead to a stronger, more empowered version of you – and when it won't.  

We’ve all heard incredible stories of individuals using their past pain to become great leaders and healers, but that seems to be the exception rather than the rule. So what’s the difference between people who wall themselves off to life and those who embrace it with even more passion after going through devastating experiences?  

Over the next thirty minutes, we’re teasing out those differences – exploring the intricate connections between trauma, empowerment, self-compassion, empathy and what cultivating true resilience means for you.  

Ready to reframe your past, curate your personal narrative, and move toward genuine freedom? Great. Let’s GO!!

Next Up in Episode 9: Get ready to be confused. Maybe. Next week we’re dismantling the idea of a singular “self” and opening you up to the idea that inside your mind there are actually multiple versions of “you” - each with their own – often conflicting – wisdom and points of view. That’s all I’ll say for now. I promise it’s going to be an eye-opener!  

Miniseries Part 4: Who am I? Your MORAL CODE  

Do you love Superheroes? Of course, who doesn’t?!  

But what do Superheroes have to do with YOUR Moral Code? 

In this episode, we deep-dive into the significance of living by your authentic moral compass while unraveling our fascination with characters that exemplify clear morality...like superheroes...and how this mirrors our quest for ethical clarity and purpose.  

Discover how your personal values can be used to shape your Moral Code, how to manage conflicts between what you were taught was right/wrong and what you believe now, and the psychological nuances of moral decision-making.  

We're inviting you to reflect on your values, challenge societal narratives, and unearth your authentic self while drawing inspiration from admired superheroes and personal role models along the way.  

Think of it this way, what do you believe in so strongly that you’d die for it as our beloved Superheroes would do? Hm. Let’s find out!

Next Up in Episode 7: Continuing our "Who am I?" Miniseries, we're talking about the big one - personal MORAL CODES. Your morality is your right vs wrong compass, often the foundation of how you make decisions, who you get along with, and how you judge everything and everyone. Friends and foes. Black and white. We're getting into it all and how you can become crystal clear on what you stand for. See you then!

Miniseries Part 2: Who am I? Discovering your PLEASURE. 

What brings you deep, fulfilling, ecstatic pleasure?  

(No, not the bedroom stuff...the LIFE stuff! The moment-to-moment it-feels-soooo-good-to-be-alive stuff.)  

Buckle up, cuz we’re exploring the complex relationship between different types of pleasure, how our nervous system dictates what we believe is a really good time, and how all of it relates to our joy – or angst – of being alive.  

Warning: what you *think* you enjoy might be a trick of your hyped-up nervous system and not what you *really* enjoy at all.  

Understanding your genuine likes and dislikes is crucial for living a life in alignment with your true self. Mira’s sharing with you her personal journey from dissatisfaction in a conventional IT job to finding joy in creativity and connection.  

We’re also talking about the importance of self-inquiry into what brings you genuine happiness (and how to do it), the negative impact of living in a hyper-stimulated or numb state, and how relearning to recognize subtle, healthy pleasures can guide better life choices.  

You'll walk away from this episode with a framework for identifying your authentic pleasures, which can lead to more fulfilling and aligned living in the big picture, or just a better idea of what to do this Saturday night.

Next Up in Episode 6: Continuing our "Who am I?" Miniseries, we'll be helping you discover what you're actually GREAT at - not the things you've learned or what "school" said you were good at, but the talents you were born with that can transform your life and the world. It's going to be a very uplifting, engaging one - so stay tuned! 

Miniseries Part 1: Who am I? Discovering your VALUES.

You've likely heard that "living by your values" is an important part of crafting a fulfilling life, but how do you know what your values really are?

In this episode, we're exploring the concept of personal values and their significance in our lives, and how to use your values as guiding principles for decision-making and creating meaning.

Through personal stories and introspection, we encourage you to understand your unique values and make choices that align with your authentic self. 

There's real power in prioritizing and embodying things that are important to the core of who you are, and finding out what those "things" are is easier than you think. Living by them is the tricky part! (Don't worry, we have some tips for that part too.)

PS: Get started by asking yourself what in your life you "have" to do or "should" do, then get ready to take your personal agency back!

Next Up in Episode 5: Continuing our "Who am I?" Miniseries, we'll be helping you discover your PLEASURE! As adults, we get so bogged down in our responsibilities that we tend to forget all about the things we enjoy doing that make us feel really, really good. When was the last time you did something you truly loved? How much time every week do you spend doing things that bring you joy? Would you even know where to start? Let’s re-discover why you want to be alive in the first place! 

Exploring the Layers of Self: Journey to the Authentic I 

Did you know there are three distinct parts of your personality, each with its own important role designed to keep you connected, fulfilled, and safe?

In this episode, we're diving into the concepts of 'Me, Myself, and I,' highlighting the journey toward understanding and reconciling these aspects of self. You'll learn about "Me" - the false self created for self-protection designed to "fit in" and keep you safe, and the "Myself' - associated with the shadow part, encompassing false beliefs, traumas, and ingrained experiences that hinder genuine self-expression. 

And buried within both the "Me" and the "Myself" is the 'I' - representing the authentic self striving to emerge through the layers of constructed identity and trauma. 

But how do you begin undoing decades of shame and fear that keep your authentic "I" from showing up in your life?

We're sharing practical advice so you can begin exploring your unique blocks from a holistic perspective that includes working with both your cognitive understanding and bodily sensations. You'll have tools to form a deeper connection to all aspects of yourself, thereby improving your relationships and overall sense of alignment in life.

Next Up in Episode 4: We begin a four-episode miniseries called "Who am I then?" where we walk you step-by-step on a path of self-discovery. By the end, you'll have a strong foundation of self encompassing your values, what you're naturally great at, what you deeply enjoy doing, and your personal moral code. Can't wait to see what you discover! 

Ever felt like you're living as a version of yourself that doesn't quite fit? Today we're unpacking the concept of the false self and why self-compassion is key to uncovering our true identity.

As children, we all develop this false self as a kind of protective shield when we don't feel safe being our authentic selves in order to "fit in" with our family, culture, etc. This is a brilliant adaptation strategy for survival, but as adults the more we continue to act as our false selves, the more unhappy and unfulfilled we become. 

We're getting into the nitty-gritty of how our nervous system plays a role in shaping our behavior patterns and how practicing self-compassion can really shake things up in the best way possible. It's not just about thinking differently, it's about feeling differently too, paving the way for lasting transformation.

We're also sharing practical physical and mental techniques to help you cultivate that self-compassion and begin moving toward a more authentic way of expressing yourself in the world.

It's time to bid farewell to the safe-version of you and move towards a life that's aligned with who you truly are.

Next Up in Episode 3: Me, Myself, & I - Now that you understand the difference between your false and authentic self, we're taking it to the next level, talking about the THREE distinct aspects of you that often feel in conflict with each other - making it difficult to distinguish the "real" you. Hint: They're all the "real" you and they all need your love. 

🎙️ Who are you at your most authentic core? What makes your life worth living?

In this first episode, we're sharing our personal stories of disillusionment, how those dark moments led us to do the work we do now, and why gaining an appreciation of emotional pain as a source of innate wisdom changed everything.

There's also a surprising link between a regulated nervous system and personal fulfillment that'll shift your perspective on what it means to create a loving relationship with yourself and how that relationship can help you navigate life's challenges from a place of embodied resilience. 

Filled with practical tools for self-compassion and ways to appreciate your pain as an intelligent response to past experiences, we've packed a lot into these 30 minutes! 🎧

Episode at a Glance:

The importance of self-discovery and finding your purpose. The significance of regulating the nervous system and developing resilience to navigate through the challenges of self-discovery. Embracing your pain and shadows as intelligent responses to past experiences, rather than viewing them as flaws or disorders.
