Peggy Bundy from Married with Children was seen as lazy. She chilled on the couch, ate bonbons, avoided housework, and didn’t chase approval. That image became a cultural punchline, a symbol of what a woman shouldn't be. And yet, for many women, there was something oddly magnetic about her freedom.
She didn’t hustle for validation. She didn’t burn herself out trying to meet society’s impossible standards. She just was. And for that, she was mocked.
Now contrast her with June Cleaver from Leave It to Beaver.
The picture-perfect 1950s housewife. June wore pearls to vacuum, served home-cooked meals with a smile, and never seemed to break a sweat. She was praised as the ideal: selfless, put-together, endlessly giving. The embodiment of what a "good woman" should be.
Two opposite archetypes. One ridiculed. One revered.
But here’s the deeper truth: neither woman is wrong. The real harm lies in the shame women are made to feel for choosing one version of womanhood over another. Whether you resonate more with Peggy, June, or somewhere in between, you deserve the right to choose without apology. Especially when you’re choosing from a place of alignment, not conditioning.
For decades, women have been placed in an impossible double bind. If you do it all, you're praised, until you burn out. If you set boundaries or choose rest, you're selfish or lazy.
This isn’t just about domestic roles. It's about how we internalize worthiness.
Many of us were raised to believe our value lies in how much we give. How much we serve. How much we sacrifice. This belief system makes it difficult to rest without guilt. To say no without explanation. To choose what we want over what others expect.
This internal pressure doesn’t just live in the mind. It shows up in the body, tight shoulders, clenched jaws, anxious bellies. The more we push past ourselves, the more disconnected we become from our truth.
And when disconnection becomes our norm, shame moves in. We search for emotional healing support, not always knowing what we need, but feeling the weight of shame and exhaustion in our bones.
Shame is quiet, but corrosive. It whispers things like:
"You should be doing more."
"You’re lazy for wanting rest."
"You’re not a good mom/partner/entrepreneur if you…"
It keeps you locked in a loop of proving, performing, and pleasing. And what’s worse? Shame doesn’t motivate you to grow. It shrinks you.
True growth, the kind that transforms your relationships, your business, your self-worth, comes from awareness, not shame. It comes from reconnecting with your body, your values, and your voice. It begins when you decide to stop feeling guilty for wanting peace, space, or slowness.
Self-awareness is more than self-reflection. It’s the act of observing your inner world without judgment. Noticing the patterns you’ve inherited. Listening to the language of your body. Honoring what’s true for you in the present moment.
One of the most powerful ways to cultivate self-awareness is through mindfulness. Not the kind that demands silence or perfection, but the kind that invites you to get honest. To pause. To breathe. To check in.
Here’s a simple mindfulness practice for emotional awareness to begin:
Find a quiet space. Sit or lie down comfortably. Let your eyes close gently.
Take three slow breaths. Inhale and exhale through your nose.
Scan your body from head to toe SLOWLY. Start at your scalp and move downward: forehead, eyes, jaw, neck, shoulders, chest, belly, hips, legs, feet.
Then go back up. Reverse the scan from feet to crown.
Notice any sensations. Tingling, tightness, warmth, emptiness. Don’t label them as good or bad. Just notice.
If emotions arise, simply notice them. Are they pleasant or unpleasant? Unpleasant sensations may point to imbalance; pleasant ones may reflect harmony. Just observe with curiosity. These sensations will start to speak to you.
Stay with your breath. Let it be your anchor.
You don’t need to analyze anything. You don’t need to fix anything. Just notice. Just be.
Practicing this for even five minutes a day begins to shift your relationship with yourself. You become more attuned to when you’re acting from shame vs. truth. From obligation vs. alignment. You learn how to stop feeling guilty for resting and begin to access a new level of freedom within.
This is the foundation of emotional resilience, spiritual clarity, and authentic power.
We’ve been told that feminine power means being nurturing, selfless, and available. But real feminine power includes receiving. It includes saying no. It includes asking, "What do I need today?"
Peggy Bundy, in all her exaggerated, comedic glory, showed us a woman who didn’t bend over backwards to be everything for everyone. She had flaws, sure. But she also had sovereignty. And maybe that’s what unsettled people the most.
Being sovereign, being rooted in yourself, is threatening in a world that profits from your self-doubt.
June Cleaver modeled another kind of power. Graceful, composed, devoted. But her strength, too, must be chosen consciously, not worn as a mask to meet expectations.
Neither woman should be a blueprint. They are archetypes to reflect on, not cages to shrink into.
Your feminine power is unique to you. It might look like baking bread and hosting dinners. It might look like building a business and taking naps. It might look like all of it, or none of it. What matters is that you choose it, free from shame.
To release shame, you must first meet it, not with blame or resistance, but with curiosity.
Ask yourself:
Where did I learn that rest is wrong?
When did I start believing I had to earn love or approval?
What do I make it mean about me when I slow down?
These questions aren’t meant to diagnose. They’re meant to open. Because when you understand the roots of your shame, you can rewrite your story.
Releasing shame and finding balance doesn’t mean choosing between Peggy and June. It means making room for your own rhythm, your own needs, your own expression. It means creating your version of emotional healing support and claiming it unapologetically.
This work isn’t surface-level. It will challenge your identity. It will ask you to grieve parts of yourself that were never really you, but kept you safe.
And it will also set you free.
Once you become aware of shame, you get to choose how you respond. Maybe next time you feel guilty for sitting down during the day, you pause and breathe. Maybe you still get up and do the thing, but with awareness. Or maybe you don’t.
The win isn’t in the action. It’s in the consciousness.
From there, you can begin to make micro-shifts:
Saying no without over-explaining.
Resting before you're depleted.
Doing what you love, not what you "should."
Over time, those shifts become a life.
A life lived not from shame or pressure, but from truth.
You are not here to prove your worth by how much you do. You are not lazy for wanting stillness. You are not selfish for choosing yourself.
You are a whole, complex, powerful woman. Whether you find pieces of yourself in Peggy, June, or someone entirely different, your path is sacred when it comes from your heart.
And if shame is something you’re ready to shed, if the old stories are feeling too tight, too heavy, you don’t have to do it alone.
This work is gentle, deep, and life-changing. And it starts with a breath, a scan, and a willingness to get honest.
Let that be your beginning. You deserve to rest. You deserve to rise. And you deserve to feel free.
And if you’re looking for deeper guidance, you can work with me. As an Emotional Freedom Coach, I help women release shame, reconnect with their truth, and embody the balance they crave…in life, love, and business. Whether you're navigating shame around rest or simply learning how to stop feeling guilty for choosing yourself, emotional healing support is here and you're not alone.
There’s a pattern I see often in the beautiful souls I work with: the belief that their voice doesn’t matter.
Maybe this is you.
Maybe you’ve been told you’re “too sensitive” or “too much.”
Maybe you learned that keeping the peace meant keeping quiet.
Maybe you’ve stayed silent to avoid conflict or rejection, believing deep down that your truth wasn’t worthy of being heard.
If so, I want you to know this:
Your voice is not just important… It's sacred.
Many of us were conditioned to abandon our voice early on.
We became the caretakers, the people-pleasers, the ones who swallowed our needs for the sake of harmony.
We were taught that expressing our emotions was “dramatic,” that asking for what we needed was “selfish,” or that setting boundaries made us “difficult.”
And so we began to shrink.
We traded our truth for approval.
We believed that silence equaled safety.
But here’s the truth I’ve come to know through deep healing and soul reclamation:
Silencing yourself doesn’t make you safe. It makes you invisible to yourself.
Your voice is more than just sound.
It’s the energetic signature of your soul.
It’s how your truth moves through the world.
It’s how your boundaries, desires, and emotions take form.
When you speak your truth, even when it feels scary… you begin to build trust with yourself.
You start to feel seen from the inside out.
And that inner alignment ripples outward, attracting relationships and experiences that are rooted in truth, not performance.
Belonging doesn’t come from being quiet.
It comes from being authentic.
There is no love more powerful than the love you give yourself when you say:
“I will not abandon my voice just to be accepted.”
You are not here to dilute yourself to fit someone else’s comfort.
You are here to embody your soul.
To speak your truth with reverence.
To allow your words, emotions, and boundaries to be expressions of your divinity.
If this resonates with you, I invite you into a gentle practice:
Place your hand over your heart.
Take a deep breath into your belly.
Speak this out loud or whisper it to your inner child:
“My voice matters.
My truth is safe with me.
I am worthy of being seen and heard.”
Let these words become your new foundation.
Not because you need to be louder…
But because you are ready to integrate fully into the truth of who you are.
You are not alone on this journey.
I see you. I feel you. I’ve been you.
I want you to know… healing your voice is an act of soul remembrance.
This work doesn’t require perfection.
It simply asks for presence.
A willingness to show up for the parts of you that once felt silenced, and to bring them back into the light.
You are worthy of being heard not just by others, but by yourself.

With spring around the corner, nature exemplifies the beauty of renewal. The days have more sunshine, fresh flowers are making their way up through the earth, and the air feels full of new possibilities. The transformation we see around us during springtime is also an invitation and a reminder that we, too, can shed the old, embrace change, and create something new.
Renewal isn’t just about change—it’s about realignment. It’s about clearing out stagnant energy, revisiting our intentions, and remembering that abundance is already within and around us. It’s a chance to reconnect with who we truly are so we can expand, grow, and create with conscious awareness. When we show up from that space, we naturally bring more vibrancy into our lives and the lives of those around us.
🌿 You’re feeling stagnant or restless in your energy or daily life.
🌿 You have the urge to declutter—physically, emotionally, or spiritually.
🌿 You’re feeling disconnected from your true self and purpose.
🌿 You feel a strong desire for expansion, growth, and/or new opportunities.
If any of the above resonates, it’s time to create the space for transformation.
1️⃣ Clear & Cleanse Your Energy
Just like spring cleaning your home, your energy field needs clearing too. Try Reiki, breathwork, or sound healing to help release what no longer serves you.
2️⃣ Set New Intentions
What do you want to call in for this next chapter of your life? Peace, abundance, creativity? Write it down, visualize it, and start aligning your actions with it.
3️⃣ Reconnect with Nature
Nature is one of our greatest teachers if we pay attention. Walk barefoot on the grass, sit in the sun, or jump into a body of water. Allow Mother Earth to help you transmute any dense energies into harmonious ones.
4️⃣ Listen to Your Inner Wisdom
Spring is a time of awakening. Pay attention to any intuitive hits, dreams, and/or signs guiding you toward your next steps. Your inner wisdom knows the way. Let it lead.
5️⃣ Embrace Growth
Change can feel scary for many of us, especially if you have a dysregulated nervous system. Let yourself flow instead of forcing it. Trust that everything shifting in your life is happening for you, not to you.
Are you ready to create your new life from a place of soul alignment? As the world around you begins to blossom and bloom, give yourself permission to do the same. Tap into the energies of the season: renewal, unlimited possibilities, conscious creation and expansion. Then, take a deep breath, set your intention, and allow the energy of new beginnings to flow through you.

If you’re reading this, chances are you feel much like I did 18 months ago—overwhelmed, overworked, underappreciated, and disconnected. You go through your days managing your life and everyone else’s, rather than truly living it.
Does it ever feel like no matter how much you accomplish, it’s never enough? Do you find yourself giving endlessly to others, but feel drained and disconnected when it comes to your own needs?
The title of this article likely caught your attention because, deep down, you’re ready for a change. You want to break free from this vicious cycle of operating in survival mode and start shifting your reality. Am I right?
One of the most common questions I hear from women seeking transformation is: “Where do I start?”
No matter their circumstances, my answer is always the same: Start with personal accountability.
What is Personal Accountability?
Personal accountability is about stepping into ownership of your experiences in life. It’s recognizing that you have the power to choose how you respond to the events and situations you face and understanding that those choices shape your reality. It’s about shifting your mental narrative to one that supports the life you desire, rather than one that reinforces powerlessness.
At its core, personal accountability is the foundation of SELF-leadership—a crucial skill for anyone looking to live with alignment and intention. While we won’t dive into SELF-leadership in this article, it involves intentionally guiding your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours in alignment with your core values, purpose, and desired outcomes.
Now that we understand personal accountability and why it matters, let’s look at 6 simple strategies you can start applying in your life today.
We can’t change what we aren’t aware of or willing to accept; real transformation starts with self-awareness. Begin by identifying the areas of your life where you feel stuck or unsatisfied.
Once you’ve identified these areas, ask yourself the following questions:
Once you identify the areas where you feel stuck and recognize some underlying root causes, you can take intentional steps to break the pattern. Personal accountability begins with recognizing where you need to make a change.
When you embrace personal accountability, you move from feeling like life happens to you, to realizing that life is something you actively create. Often, we become stuck when we identify with our past experiences, instead of shifting our focus toward intentionally taking action to create the life we desire.
Remember: Our current reality is the result of our past decisions, and our future is actively being shaped by the choices we make today. Every day presents a new opportunity to create the future you desire. Start now.
To take this a step further, the next time you feel stuck, instead of asking, “Why is this happening to me?” ask, “What is this teaching me? How can I respond in a way that aligns with the outcome I want?”
Our thoughts are powerful and have so much influence over our reality. This step is about noticing when you fall into negative thinking patterns, such as “This is just the way things are” or “I have no control over this.”
When this happens, pause and reframe. Ask yourself, “Are these thoughts actually based in truth?”
Then, choose thoughts that empower you: “I have the power to respond differently” or “I can influence the change I am seeking by rewiring my thoughts.”
Learning to shift your mental narrative is essential to taking responsibility for the life you want. It requires the willingness to recognize limiting beliefs, challenge them, and let them go.
Taking responsibility for your life means prioritizing choices and taking actions that align with the version of yourself you want to become. It’s about showing up, day after day, especially when it’s uncomfortable, and making decisions from a place of empowerment, rather than fear or discomfort.
When and only when you are willing to accept that you are the only one who has the power to shape your life, you reclaim your agency and become empowered to keep moving forward.
Personal accountability isn’t about perfection; it’s about making progress. By building a habit of compassionate self-reflection, you’ll stay committed to the process of creating the lasting changes you desire.
At the end of each day, ask yourself: “Did I make choices that align with the person I want to become?” rather than “Did I accomplish my goal?” Learning to move away from black-and-white thinking and pausing to celebrate all wins, big or small, builds the momentum needed for continued personal growth.
Many of us become so focused on the “goal” or “desired outcome” that we lose sight of the journey itself—and all the growth that happens along the way. I know firsthand the importance of fully embracing the journey, approaching it with a beginner’s mind, and detaching from desired outcomes. The real magic and alignment happens when we remain flexible and committed to ourselves from a growth perspective, rather than an outcome-driven one.
Part of the magic of living in alignment with your true self is trusting the process and believing in something bigger than you.
If there’s one key takeaway from all of this, let it be this: Surrender control, detach from expectations, embrace the journey, and watch the magic unfold.
The Path to Joy and Abundance Begins with Personal Accountability
To create the life you truly desire—one filled with joy, abundance, and purpose—the first step is to take full ownership of your experience. When you do, you’ll start to see that every choice you make will either bring you closer to the life you want or keep you further from it. The choice is yours.
I hope this article has inspired you and sparked the motivation to start applying these personal accountability strategies in your life today.

As a high-achieving woman entrepreneur, you're no stranger to setting ambitious goals and pushing boundaries. But have you ever wondered why, despite your remarkable accomplishments, you sometimes find yourself doubting your abilities or focusing on perceived shortcomings? The answer might lie in a fascinating cognitive phenomenon called confirmation bias. In this post, we'll explore how understanding and leveraging this bias can be a game-changer for your entrepreneurial journey.
What is Confirmation Bias?
Confirmation bias is our brain's tendency to seek out, interpret, and remember information that confirms our existing beliefs while disregarding contradictory evidence. While this can sometimes lead to errors in judgment, it also presents a powerful opportunity for personal growth and achievement – especially for driven women like you who are shaping the business world.
The Double-Edged Sword for Women Entrepreneurs
As a woman entrepreneur, you may have experienced how confirmation bias can work against you:
But here's the exciting part: once you understand confirmation bias, you can flip the script and use it to your advantage.
Strategies to Harness Confirmation Bias for Your Success
Instead of dwelling on perceived shortcomings, actively seek evidence of your competence and resilience. Remember that pitch you nailed? The investor who believed in your vision? The team you've built from the ground up? These aren't flukes – they're proof of your capabilities.
Action Step: Create a "Success Journal" where you document your wins, big and small. Review it regularly, especially before important meetings or decisions.
Surround yourself with diverse perspectives that challenge your assumptions and broaden your horizons. Seek out mentors, join women's entrepreneurship groups, and engage with peers who inspire and push you to grow.
Action Step: Attend at least one networking event or conference per quarter focused on women in business or your specific industry.
Use confirmation bias to your advantage by clearly defining your goals and visualizing success. When you prime your brain to look for opportunities aligned with your vision, you'll be amazed at what you start to notice and attract.
Action Step: Create a vision board for your business goals. Include images of women leaders you admire, representations of your target revenue, and symbols of the impact you want to make.
When you catch yourself in a spiral of self-doubt, pause and ask: "Is this thought helping or hindering my success?" Replace limiting beliefs with empowering affirmations that reflect the leader you are becoming.
Action Step: Develop a set of personal mantras tailored to your entrepreneurial journey. Examples might include: "I am innovative and resilient" or "My unique perspective is my superpower."
Instead of fearing criticism, view it as valuable data for growth. Actively seek feedback from mentors, clients, and team members. When you receive praise, don't brush it off – internalize it as evidence of your capabilities. Feedback is a gift, and I’ll never forget the mentor who helped me understand this notion.
Action Step: Implement a regular feedback loop in your business, both for giving and receiving constructive input.
The Ripple Effect of Your Success
By harnessing confirmation bias for positive change, you're not just transforming your own entrepreneurial journey – you're paving the way for other women in business. Your success challenges societal biases and creates a ripple effect of inspiration.
Remember, the key to leveraging confirmation bias lies in consciously directing your focus toward the outcomes you wish to manifest. By doing so, you're not just building a successful business; you're reshaping the landscape and inspiring women entrepreneurs everywhere.
Are you ready to harness the power of your mind and take your business to new heights? The world is waiting for your unique vision and leadership.

Receiving feedback is an integral part of personal and professional growth. However, it can also be one of the most challenging aspects of developing any project, especially something as personal and meaningful as a course that you've poured your heart into. The art of receiving feedback really goes beyond just listening to others’ opinions; it involves processing, understanding, and using that feedback to refine and elevate your work.
I’d like to share my own journey with feedback, especially as it relates to refining my courses. It hasn’t always been easy, but it’s been one of the most rewarding experiences since I started in the online space.
Let’s face it—receiving feedback can be emotionally taxing. When someone critiques your work, it’s easy to feel vulnerable, especially if the feedback isn’t entirely positive. We often tie our self-worth to our creations, making it hard to separate constructive criticism from personal judgment.
For me, creating courses is not just a job; it’s a passion. I’ve spent countless hours crafting content that I believe will make a difference. So, when I first started receiving feedback, there was an internal struggle. I had to learn how to take a step back and look at my work objectively. Was the feedback coming from a place of helping me improve, or was it just a matter of personal preference?
This distinction is crucial because it allows you to filter out the noise and focus on the feedback that truly adds value.
Some of my students and clients have been sharing feedback on Course Design School, my signature course, regarding the content, the delivery, and the experience so far, and their feedback is inspiring some incredible changes. It’s amazing how their insights have opened my eyes to new ways of enhancing the course, making it even more impactful.
I could kick myself for not thinking about some of these ideas sooner, but instead, I’m embracing the gift of their feedback and getting back to work. Every tweak and adjustment is bringing me closer to creating the transformative experience I’m striving for.
As I embrace this feedback, I have now started a process of refinement. I am revisiting the course material, tweaking, adjusting, and sometimes overhauling entire sections. The process isn’t easy—it requires time, effort, and a willingness to let go of certain elements that I had initially thought were essential. But as I make these changes, I am noticing a shift. The course is going to be more streamlined, the content more focused, and the overall experience more impactful for the participants.
This process is teaching me a valuable lesson that I know but needed a reminder of: no matter how good you think your work is, there’s always room for improvement. Feedback is not a sign of failure; it’s a pathway to excellence.
Based on my experience, here are a few tips on how to receive feedback gracefully and use it to your advantage:
The art of receiving feedback is a continuous journey. It’s about embracing vulnerability, being open to change, and constantly striving for improvement. My experience with refining my course taught me that feedback, while sometimes challenging to hear, is an essential component of growth. It’s what transforms good into great and what helps us evolve in our work.
As you move forward in your own projects, remember that feedback is your ally. Embrace it, learn from it, and let it guide you to greater heights. The path to excellence is paved with the insights of others, and it’s up to us to walk that path with an open mind and a willing heart.

Our bodies have the extraordinary power to let us sense when danger is present, and oftentimes they do so without us having to think about it. We become acutely aware when dis-ease sets in and hampers our normal functioning. As a nurse working in the hospital setting the changes experienced by people are often managed by medication.
Have you ever experienced a sense within your body that doesn’t fit into the usual five categories? It is fascinating to note that our body has over twenty senses internally and externally. These incredible sensory functions manage to keep us safe and connected to the world around us. Without going into the scientific depths of how our sensory receptors function, exploring with a curious mind can help us tap into the wonder they hold.
We have all experienced pain in our lives whether it be at skin level, deep into the muscles, organs, or emotionally. Each one of these has special properties that can stop us in our tracks when triggered. When the pain response is activated, we have a choice of what we do with it. As a nurse, I ascribe to the definition of pain as “pain is what the experiencing person says it is, occurring when they say it does.” Pain provocation, quality, radiation, severity, and timing are all explored.
The other sense that we recognize as important is our temperature. Our body identifies heat and cold and has built in processes to allow heat to escape or trap it in. This is another protective process.
We also have mechanical receptors that sense our body position, balance, and muscle stretch. Such complexities that we do not have to think through. We do not have to think about the way our joint is positioned in space. There is structure and organized function aligned within our body.
We could also explore the internal receptors such as blood pressure, blood oxygen content, bladder stretch, having a full stomach, and lung inflation. All senses that we are fortunate we do not need to think about, recognizing how marvelous our body really is.
So, what happens when dis-ease sets in or medications interfere with the natural function of these senses? We become misaligned with our body and our internal senses can become dulled or impaired. It takes practice to stay in touch with these senses beyond the five. Taking time to activate your senses and observe them through meditation can help you live in harmony with your senses.

La respiration est une pratique puissante qui, une fois intégrée, peut transformer votre vie. Lorsque j’ai découvert la respiration, quelques principes directeurs ont conduit à mon éveil interne et continuent de guider ma pratique et ma vie.
Certains principes semblent simples en théorie, mais se permettre de s'abandonner pleinement et de se faire confiance dans le processus peut être difficile mais essentiel. Dans Breathwork, le concept d’abandon ne signifie pas défaite ou faiblesse, mais plutôt une opportunité de perspicacité personnelle. Lorsque vous vous abandonnez au processus, vous permettez à de nouvelles expériences et opportunités de se présenter. Notre esprit pensant peut agir comme un vaisseau, se basant par défaut sur des histoires ou des scénarios qui renforcent les croyances limitantes. Avec Breathwork, nous nous éloignons de cet esprit pensant et supprimons les distractions qui ont un impact sur notre capacité à vivre l'instant présent.
Le principe suivant est que ce à quoi vous résistez persiste et que le chemin du passé est dépassé . Dans une séance de respiration, le matériel de vie surgit lorsque vous êtes inconsciemment prêt et équipé pour y faire face. Dans ce conteneur sécurisé, vous avez la possibilité d’explorer, de guérir et de résoudre les problèmes qui peuvent vous empêcher d’atteindre votre bien-être.
Un autre jargon Breathwork que vous pourriez entendre est que tout est de l’eau pour le moulin. Qu'est-ce que cela signifie? Fondamentalement, il s’agit d’accepter que ce qui sera sera et que quoi qu’il arrive, il arrivera. Qu'il y ait des problèmes dans la musique, que vous soyez interrompu par la famille ou par des distractions dans la pièce. Votre frustration, votre colère, votre joie et vos rires : ils font tous partie de la séance de respiration. Respirez l'émotion, respirez dans tout mouvement que vous ressentez, respirez pour approfondir et maximiser l'expérience. C’est toute l’énergie prête à être libérée.
Après une séance de Breathwork, il est important de prendre le temps de réintégrer une activité quotidienne régulière. Voici quelques-unes des activités de transition pour faciliter l’intégration :
Il n’y a aucune limite à ce que vous pouvez faire pour vous intégrer, faites ce qui vous convient. À mesure que la respiration devient l’une de vos activités de soins personnels, vous remarquerez à quel point elle peut avoir un impact sur votre vie quotidienne.
Christie a connu une longue carrière en soins infirmiers et poursuit désormais sa passion pour le développement personnel. Wellness Haven and Health propose un coaching de compétences de vie, un coaching de bonheur et une respiration neurodynamique. Encourager l’autonomisation de tous les clients en mettant l’accent sur les sept principes du bien-être.
C’est le travail qui a tout changé pour moi.
En regardant en arrière, je vois à quel point mon image de soi était le reflet direct de la façon dont j'ai vécu la vie dans ma réalité physique. J'ai passé tant d'années à essayer de me retrouver. Maintenant, je sais que nous pouvons nous créer en utilisant notre esprit. Il y a une grande différence entre les deux.
Vous voyez, je cherchais les réponses à l’extérieur de moi-même. Qui suis je? De quoi suis-je capable ? Que vaux-je ? Je pensais que la confiance était quelque chose qu'on avait ou qu'on n'avait pas. J'ai laissé mes circonstances extérieures et mes résultats dans ma vie dicter ma valeur. Ma valeur dépendait de ma réussite et du fait d’être le meilleur. Je n’étais digne que si je gagnais ou si j’arrivais à la première place. Je suis sûr que certains d'entre vous peuvent s'identifier à cela.
Ce que j’ai appris, c’est que l’image que nous avons de nous-mêmes dicte notre réalité. C’est ce qu’on appelle notre image de soi. Nous avons une image que nous projetons vers le monde extérieur, ce que nous portons, comment nous nous coiffons, comment nous nous comportons ET nous avons aussi notre image intérieure, celle que nous croyons de nous-mêmes. C'est cette voix intérieure qui résonne encore et encore dans nos esprits. Celle qui nous guide, celle qui détermine notre monde extérieur. Celui auquel l’univers répond. Notre esprit essaiera toujours de nous donner raison. Si j’ai l’impression que je ne suis pas assez bien ou que je ne mérite pas d’argent, alors j’aurai des expériences qui me montreront que j’ai raison. Alternativement, si j'ai une image forte et saine de moi-même et de mes capacités, alors j'aurai des expériences qui me montreront que j'ai raison. Notre confiance en nous dictera nos résultats.
Notre confiance en nous-mêmes est cruciale car nous ne surpasserons jamais notre image de nous-mêmes !

Nous venons au monde avec une grande respiration souvent suivie d'un cri et nous arrivons à la fin de la vie lorsque notre souffle s'arrête. Il s'agit d'une fonction automatique qui ne nécessite pas que nous y réfléchissions pour qu'elle se produise, mais c'est quelque chose que nous pouvons contrôler.
Lorsque nous souffrons, nous retenons notre souffle, lorsque nous sommes anxieux ou excités, notre respiration devient rapide. Lorsque nous sommes en paix, notre respiration est lente, voire rythmée. Il ne fait aucun doute que la respiration est essentielle à la vie et que la façon dont nous prenons soin de notre respiration est importante. La connexion avec notre corps mental, émotionnel et physique est vitale. Il existe de nombreuses façons d’utiliser notre respiration pour stabiliser cette connexion et la respiration neurodynamique en tant que pratique peut certainement aider.
La respiration neurodynamique en tant que pratique peut :
La respiration, en combinaison avec d'autres pratiques, vous aide à explorer la vie de nouvelles manières dynamiques. Au fur et à mesure de l’intégration, vous découvrirez des aspects plus profonds de la vie dont vous ignoriez l’existence. Le mois prochain, nous explorerons les principes clés de la respiration et de l'intégration.

Bonjour chère communauté HHW Global !
Alors que nous saluons la saison rajeunissante du printemps, je me retrouve à réfléchir à la croissance - pas seulement à l'épanouissement qui nous entoure, mais à nos voyages personnels d'expansion et de transformation. Explorons cela ensemble, à travers le prisme de ma propre histoire et de la sagesse des éléments ayurvédiques.
Considérez une plante prospère. Lorsqu'il devient trop grand pour son pot, on n'hésite pas à le transplanter dans un pot plus grand, lui laissant ainsi de l'espace pour s'épanouir. Ce simple acte de changer de contenant est une métaphore puissante de croissance personnelle et professionnelle. Tout comme l’usine, nous avons nous aussi besoin d’espace pour nous développer et atteindre notre plein potentiel.
Lorsque je me suis lancé pour la première fois dans mon parcours solo en tant que maître enseignant de Reiki, le monde des affaires était pour moi un territoire inexploré. Je me sentais comme un semis dans un petit pot, aspirant à l’espace. Rejoindre la communauté HHW était ma façon d'entrer dans un conteneur plus grand. Ce saut a non seulement nourri ma croissance en tant que praticien du Reiki, mais aussi en tant que solopreneur. C'était une transformation qui résonnait profondément avec l'essence du Reiki : circuler avec l'énergie de la vie et s'ouvrir au changement.
L'Ayurveda , souvent appelée la science sœur du Yoga, est un ancien système de guérison holistique originaire d'Inde. Il met l’accent sur l’équilibre du corps, de l’esprit et de l’esprit grâce à la compréhension des cinq éléments : la Terre, l’Eau, le Feu, l’Air et l’Éther. Ces éléments représentent différents aspects de notre existence et s’alignent sur des chakras spécifiques, nous rappelant que la croissance est multidimensionnelle. Par exemple, la « Terre » nous enracine dans la stabilité, « l'Eau » nourrit notre capacité d'adaptation et notre bien-être émotionnel, le « Feu » alimente nos ambitions et notre énergie transformatrice, « l'Air » symbolise le mouvement et le changement, et « l'Éther » nous connecte au vaste espace. , aspects spirituels de l'univers.
Ce printemps marque une période particulière dans notre voyage collectif - une opportunité d'embrasser l'esprit de renouveau et de croissance, en nous alignant sur le rythme naturel de l'univers. Dans le cadre de notre série Spring Awakening, nous nous lancerons dans une exploration approfondie de ces éléments ayurvédiques, chacun lié à des chakras et à des méditations spécifiques. C'est plus qu'une simple expérience d'apprentissage ; c'est un voyage transformateur, nous permettant de trouver notre plus grand pot, où nos racines peuvent s'enfoncer plus profondément et nos branches peuvent s'étendre plus haut. Pour plus de détails sur la série et comment faire partie de cette harmonie élémentaire, veuillez cliquer ici . Rejoignez-nous tous les mercredis à 19h55, du 3 avril au 19 juin, alors que nous embrassons les énergies renouvelées de la Terre, de l'Eau, du Feu, de l'Air et de l'Éther, favorisant la croissance et l'équilibre holistiques.
Alors que nous naviguons chacun sur notre chemin vers un conteneur de croissance plus grand, inspirons-nous des éléments ayurvédiques. Ces éléments anciens nous guident pour exploiter pleinement notre potentiel, nous rappelant que la croissance est un mélange harmonieux de compréhension et d’alignement avec les forces naturelles en nous et autour de nous. Dans notre série « Spring Awakening » , nous explorerons cette synergie entre les enseignements intemporels de l'Ayurveda et la sagesse durable du Reiki. Ensemble, ces pratiques offrent un chemin holistique vers la croissance, l’équilibre et le bien-être. Rejoignez-moi dans ce voyage alors que nous transcendons nos frontières et prospérons en cette saison de renouveau et d'éveil. C'est parti pour grandir ensemble dans l'harmonie et la sagesse !

Février, le mois de l'amour. La Saint-Valentin est passée et avec elle les roses sèchent, les chocolats sont consommés et les bijoux sont portés ou ont trouvé leur place dans la boîte à bijoux. Charmant, mais toutes choses temporaires. Dans la vie, nous voyons des événements se dérouler dans notre sphère personnelle et nous ne pouvons pas toujours tout contrôler. Ce que nous pouvons contrôler, c’est la façon dont nous le gérons. Dirigez avec amour. Comment faisons-nous cela?
N'oubliez pas que vous êtes votre atout le plus précieux et qu'il est essentiel d'investir en vous . Faites un inventaire personnel de ce que vous aimez et de ce que vous n'aimez pas, puis montrez-vous une acceptation compatissante. En plus de la grâce, élaborez un plan honnête sur la façon dont vous pouvez vous nourrir dans tous les domaines. Comprendre l’importance de développer l’amour de soi et l’acceptation de soi est essentiel pour avancer dans la vie et dans les affaires. Cela vous permet d’être ferme dans vos limites et d’identifier ce qui est acceptable dans d’autres relations. L’amour qui vient véritablement du plus profond de soi s’écoule automatiquement et se propage aux autres. En tant que dirigeants et entrepreneurs dirigeant avec amour, nous construirons une communauté plus forte.
