Asleep in Your Own Life: Leisse Wilcox Shares How She Finally Woke Up—and How You Can, Too! Ep. 50

Have you ever felt like you were asleep in your own life? You’re definitely not alone! Writer and mindset coach, Leisse Wilcox, describes the powerful—and admittedly, painful—process of realizing she was asleep in what appeared to be a picture perfect life. In this second part of my conversation with Leisse, she shares mindset shifts to help us wake up and fully revel in our authenticity, no matter what we’re going through—even, as is the case in Leisse’s life, in the midst of divorce and cancer treatments. We also cover:
● Why focusing on ourselves isn’t at all selfish.
● The defining moment when Leisse realized she was living a lie.
● Messages we tell ourselves that allow us to stay asleep in our own lives.
● How the confirmation bias kept Leisse in an unhappy marriage—and may be keeping you stuck in ways you don’t even realize!
● The relationship between authenticity and anxiety.
●How Leisse “takes charge” of chemotherapy treatments to make them as beautiful as she possibly can.
● What’s often behind our “people pleasing.”
Leisse concludes our conversation sharing a quote from Brené Brown which helped her finally disentangle shame and pain. Join us to discuss all this and much more!
