AP 154: Underachieving Perfectionist || Growth Spurt Mar 15, 2019

Show notes

I have been where you are - afraid to fail and hating myself into growth. There's a name for it, underachieving perfectionism, and a way to change for the better. If you feel STUCK and crippled by the thought of setting even day-to-day goals, this is me calling to you from the other side of that.

Your worth is not determined by the perfect ability to do anything. I hope that after listening in you know you CAN grow imperfectly because you are worth while.

AP 148: Showing Yourself Compassion as You Grow into Your True Self || with Josh Searle Feb 27, 2019

Show notes

Self-love is all the rage, but is it worth the hype? If you are looking to find out who you truly are, there is something else that may serve you better: self compassion.

Self compassion is being fully KIND to yourself by no longer buying into shame cycles.

You can allow things to get messy on the pursuit of growth, while keeping your self-worth intact. Including matters of faith, family, and his future, Josh Searlediscusses this and how he learned to "fail forward" on his journey of growing into his true self.

Don't let self-esteem govern your worth; instead come to know your inherent worth and give yourself permission to figure things out, and allow others in on your journey.
