179. Here's How To Navigate Change & Life Transitions + Your Sexy Summer Stories & What We've Been Dewin Sep 04, 2024

Show notes

We're starting off our new season by learning how to navigate change and life transitions with our bestie Victoria Albina, NP, MPH. Victoria is a coach who helps people overcome their codependent, perfectionist, and people-pleasing thinking and she's also our go-to whenever we're ready to feel SEEN, heard, and have our worlds absolutely rocked.

In this episode, Victoria covers:

The very primal reasons why change can be TERRIFYING
Finding safety in yourself so you can be confident navigating change
How to find your truth and also know when it's time for change
Why your desire to keep other people happy gives you a false sense of safety
What to do when the people in your life don't like, acknowledge, or support your changes
Why it's not ~always~ a bad thing to care what others think
How to stop fighting and let other people have their experience (spoiler: we don't have to control everything and maybe it isn't all that serious anyway)

Before the interview, we also chat about:

Your sexy summer stories
The changes we've been going through
What you can expect from Honeydew Me this season
