@Thomasine Wrede Since it’s recommended not to drink coffee on an empty stomach, does this also apply to cacao and matcha?? 🍃 🍵

Following up from our coaching session last week about perfectionism or sky-high standards hindering action-taking; boundary-setting; and breaking free from limiting beliefs about ourselves amongst other things - I wanted to share this podcast tip that offered lots of insights on the same topics. Listen to the conversation between Emma Grede & Dr. Thema Bryant here. & then return to this post to check out these KEY INSIGHTS from the episode: - 🧩 Healing is foundational, not optional, for a fulfilled and successful life. Without addressing unresolved trauma and limiting beliefs, individuals are likely to remain stuck, running from pain or self-sabotaging. This healing journey is ongoing, requires courage, and often necessitates professional therapy or supportive environments (like the R2T community/coaching). It is not about perfection but about embracing wholeness. 🧠 Unpacking core beliefs and childhood stories reveals self-limiting patterns: Many behaviours that hold people back—eg procrastination, conflict avoidance, low self-esteem... —are rooted in childhood messages absorbed from parents, teachers, and peers. These “lies” or negative stories shape how we see ourselves. Recognising and rewriting these narratives through techniques like narrative therapy can empower individuals to reclaim agency and redefine their identity (as learnt in R2T). 😨 Fear of failure and success often paralyse progress: Fear is a powerful force that manifests in different ways, including perfectionism, procrastination, and controlling behaviours. Dr. Brian recommends visualisation (as learnt in R2T) and exposure techniques to imagine the worst-case scenario and see oneself surviving it, which can desensitize the fear and build resilience. Recognizing fear as a natural response to the unknown allows for more intentional risk-taking. ❤️‍🩹 Trauma influences emotional regulation and trust, impacting relationships and workplace dynamics: Trauma overwhelms coping capacity and can produce hypervigilance, difficulty trusting others, and emotional volatility. In the workplace, trauma or stressors such as layoffs or lack of transparency exacerbate anxiety and reduce psychological safety. Leaders must practice self-compassion, acknowledge mistakes, and foster open communication to create healthier environments.

Tips! När du blir tillfrågad om att göra något – ett jobb, en lunch, en fest, en resa – ta dig mentalt till kvällen innan och känn efter hur det känns. Är du exalterad? Lycklig? Taggad? Glad att du sa ja? Eller Känner du ångest? Stress? Motstånd? Önskar du att du sagt nej? Detta är ett enkelt sätt att avgöra om du verkligen vill göra något, innan du säger ja. Ha med dig detta för att känna in och säga ja för att du VILL, inte för att du borde/måste/kan. ❤️

Please pick the time you'd prefer for us to have our group coaching session going forward. If you pick an option with several times, please comment below which of the times you prefer. Pick all the times that work for you. If you have no strong preference, please pick "no preference". This is to gauge your preferences, but unfortunately I cannot guarantee that everyones' needs can be met. Thank you and speak to you in our live call soon 💞

Today I want to celebrate that I have really listened to my body the previous week. I had a lot of PMS and my body kind of shut down (which happens every month but this time it was on an extreme level). So I allowed my self just being at home for 3 days doing whatever I felt like, which mostly was lying in the sofa and bed, and one day I didn’t even go outside, which is a huge deal for me. Even though I felt better I canceled my plans to live at my best friends house and taking care of her puppy this week. I swollowed my people pleasing mind and I’m going to prioritize all the energy I have left to my new job, since I still feel very sensitive. Feeling very proud of myself 😀 And I'm looking forward to a new PMS-free week 😅 Have a great week everyone and don’t forget to prioritize yourself 🌸 (And of course, sharing a puppy pic, because if anything can spark a little extra joy and energy for the week ahead, it’s puppies 🐶✨)
