Itchy, ill-fitting hand-me-downs 😳
My Outgrow the Grind podcast is back after an 11-week hiatus.
This week's episode is all about belief systems.
In it, I share some of the itchy, ill-fitting, hand-me-down beliefs that I've shifted as a result of my own coaching experience (as a client!).
I also share the many belief systems that I've helped my clients shifts while in a supportive coaching container with me.
Before I ever tried coaching, I would experience a [very true, very strong] feeling of being stuck in certain places of my life despite how much I thought I wanted to be unstuck.
Here are a few examples where what I wanted wasn't lining up with what I was creating for myself:
I wanted a long-lasting, loving relationship but I tended to date folks who were unavailable or not prioritizing me and our relationship (someday I'll tell y'all the story of me finally learning that painful lesson once and for all!)
I wanted to do work I loved but my overworking / workaholic tendencies came through even when I was working full-time in the floral industry
I wanted to make more money but it seemed like I'd have to work even harder or more hours than I was already working and utterly exhausted by (yikes!)
I wanted things to feel easy and expansive but all too often things felt hard and restrictive and impossible (I was taking the #strugglebus everywhere I went)
Back then, I had no idea that there my [hand-me-down] beliefs that were playing a leading [albeit mostly subconscious] role in my life.
To hear more of my old beliefs as well as some of the beliefs that my coaching clients have come to me with, check out this week's episode.
I used to judge myself for getting in my own way; now I realize it wasn’t my fault.
We all have beliefs that we receive or assume from a very young age.
One of my biggest old itchy + ill-fitting belief was that “it’s impossible to have work AND a relationship you love - you gotta pick one or the other.”
Thanks to my own journey as a coaching client [maybe I'll write up that story in a future blog], I’m now living the exact opposite of that old belief I picked up along the way.
And not only do I believe and trust a relationship and career that I absolutely love is possible, I also believe I deserve both!
What underground beliefs might be tangling you up?
I'd love to support you in both beginning to untangle those beliefs and to remind you that the places where you feel stuck aren't actually your fault.
With love,
Stacy
