In this episode, I explore the importance of aligning with our authentic expression – particularly our true yes and no. We dive into the topic of addiction and the pursuit of altering our state to escape the present moment – whether through indulgence or social media scrolling. We discuss how recognizing our emotional and physical cues helps us set boundaries, make decisions aligned with our true selves, and foster authentic relationships. We also examine the power of differentiating between trauma and reality, acknowledging triggers, and assessing genuine reactions. I highlight the role of self-inquiry and curiosity in self-discovery, as well as the roles of self-compassion and self-expression in confronting discomfort and steering away from addictive behaviors towards personal growth. Tune in for a powerful conversation on the significance of congruence and relating from a place of inner alignment.
