The real reason you can’t let go (my story)

How to get over grief and guilt... The nerves I feel as I release this video to the world are a bit overwhelming.

Maybe that’s because I’m about to disclose exactly how much money I have.

Or because I cry, or because I say aloud doubtful thoughts most people keep hidden in their diaries...

But as I say in the beginning of this video, this also feels like one of the most important topics I’ve shared in the online space.

It’s one thing to cognitively know you are holding onto grief and guilt (raise your hand if you, too, are reading Brené Brown’s Atlas of the Heart 🙋‍♀️) - but it’s an entirely different experience to witness real stories getting over grief.

Many clients enter my doors with the hope to restart in 2022, claiming “I want to be a new person” or seeking coaching to let go of the past. If you’re one of those individuals wanting to know how to begin again in 2022, I have comfortable & less comfortable news for you.

😍 The comfortable news: I have many “let it go and move on” coaching exercises... You are fully capable of learning how to forget the past and move on with your life - especially with limiting beliefs, getting over doubt & overcoming self-criticism.

😅 The less comfortable news: positive psychology coaching in practice looks a lot different than simply following a checklist. There are emotions (a lot of them) to feel, learn from & release.

Want a let go of grief and guilt coaching example? Well, you’ve found an honest one. Welcome to a real representation for how to use positive psychology to improve your life.

Sometimes, you have to travel into the valley to find your next mountain peak 🏔

Cheers to being vulnerable, being brave & leveling the f@$* up to more fully serve our world.
