EP 123: Being Strong is Overrated with Kelsey
This episode is about surrender. Kelsey feels blocked financially and is looking for advice on how to get unstuck when it comes to her dead-end job and finances. We don’t actually end up talking about either of those things. We delve into her underlying patterns caused by her not feeling safe.
All of us experience not feeling safe in some way and we make ourselves feel safe in different ways. We may outsource it through relationships with other people, maybe we overwork ourselves to make a lot of money or we attempt to be in control of everything in our lives.
Resilience is important but make sure you don’t do it by means of suppression. We must be willing to feel, acknowledge, and heal old wounds. Being a victim or feeling sorry for ourselves is not what emotional processing is about. We can truly heal and liberate ourselves from anything but we must be willing to deal with what ‘is’ our life.
To create change in your life you must create a feeling of internal safety.

Consider/Ask Yourself:
- Are you struggling with finances or a job you hate?
- Do you relate to being strong and believe you have to be strong? Do you relish the fact that others acknowledge you for being strong?
- What does vulnerability mean to you? Is it a weakness?
- Are you an overachiever, control freak or type ‘A’ personality? Do you feel safer when you are in control?
- How are you at surrendering? How are you just letting go and trusting that things will just work out?
