    08:45||Ep. 31
    This week's episode was a raw, real and organic one. I have had to take time to focus on my physical health, and in the process of this, have had a few thoughts I wanted to share. We talk about perfectionism, progress, and small steps to take when your cup feels pretty empty. Perfection does not exist, but progress does. And finding little moments of self-love are so important, even more so when it feels you don't have the time. Instagram: higher_pod

  • 26. Episode 26: Navigating Fear and Resistance on Your Self-Development Journey

    10:45||Ep. 26
    In this episode, let's embark on a journey through the labyrinth of fear and resistance that often accompanies the pursuit of self-development. Fear and resistance are natural responses to the unknown, but they can also be barriers that impede our growth and progress. Drawing from scientific research and personal experiences, I explore the psychology behind fear and resistance, uncovering their roots in our innate desire for safety and familiarity. I also touch on the neuroscience of personal growth, discovering how stepping outside our comfort zones can stimulate neural pathways associated with learning and adaptation.I am hopeful this episode will help equip you with practical strategies for overcoming fear and resistance, empowering you to navigate these obstacles with courage and resilience. From mindfulness and self-compassion to breaking tasks into manageable steps and seeking support from others, I offer a toolbox of techniques to help you overcome fear and take bold strides towards your goals. As you listen, you'll gain valuable insights and inspiration to confront your fears, challenge limiting beliefs, and embrace the transformative journey of self-discovery and personal growth. So, grab your courage by the hand, tune in, and let's navigate fear and resistance together on the path to becoming the best versions of ourselves.
