I was blessed to be part of a podcast series about whole hearted women, who are owning their life stories and embracing who they truly are, not who society wants them to be. Each story is unique, yet collectively we embrace the thought that the only way we can be the highest version of ourselves, is to show up in this world unapologetically as our true authentic joyful self. We owe it to ourselves, and the world, to stand in our truth and own our purpose in this journey called life.
We each do this in different ways, however every story has a common thread. It is about letting go of societal expectations, understanding our core values, living whole heartedly within our purpose and embracing all that we are. None of this can be achieved without falling in love with ourselves. I don’t just mean the bits that we are OK with, I mean ALL of it. Falling utterly, madly, deeply in love with ALL OF YOU.
Easier said than done I know! Even for those of us who have spent many years delving deep into our true selves, looking into our darkest shadows, it is a daily commitment to remove the mask, show our vulnerability and just be ourselves. The belief you have in yourself and ultimately your levels of self-worth, are the key to you simply being you.
On the podcast I chat about my journey with vulnerability, the pain it brings to the fore and the life changing rewards that are offered to my everyday life as a result of me removing my mask and being vulnerable. Don’t get me wrong it’s tough. At times, it’s really tough. In order to embrace all of you, you have to love all of you. In order to love all of you, you have to know all of you. You have to know the REAL you. Not just the bits you are comfortable with. There is no growth in that. As T Arigo says…
The hardest thing to do is leaving your comfort zone. But you have to let go of the life you are familiar with and take the risk to love the life you dream about.
I invite you to take a listen to my podcast. It is me with my mask off. It is me in full vulnerably sharing my story of tragedy, grief and the overwhelm I experienced from an abundance of human kindness.
It looks at my journey and what drove me to make changes in order for me to live a life more aligned with my soul.
It shines a light on the power of putting yourself first and the benefits to the collective of you doing this.
We talk about my wellness toolkit and what I do daily to nourish my body, my mind and my soul.
We talk about what it truly means to embrace YOU. The real you.
It is raw. It is thought provoking. It is beautiful.
Just like each and every one of us.
It is a privilege for me to share my story with you.
Stay fabulous! Big hugs, Suz xxxx
