Cheaper Than Therapy with Vanessa and Dené

In this live coaching session, we sat down with Jane to talk about some struggles she’s been having with infidelity in relationships and her own self-trust. We explore:1. How to create safety within ourselves and what that looks like, so that we are able to recognize safety, or lack thereof in relation to others2. The opportunity to love ourselves so fully that we won’t allow anyone in our sphere who doesn’t mirror that same love back to us3. What happens when we remove our negative self-talk and hold ourselves in grace and compassion while in an unwanted repeated pattern, and how that can help us in the futureand so much more! If you have a question or topic you’d like us to address, we would love to hear from you for our new series!

This week’s episode is part of a series where we discuss topics and/or questions submitted by our listeners. This week we’re discussing:1. What it means to self-sabotage and the different ways this can show up in our lives and relationships. 2. How we can challenge ourselves to confront our shadow-self in order to pinpoint triggers and self-limiting beliefs and behaviors so that we can practice new patterns, even in a society that conditions us to quiet our self-love.3. The freedom that can come from the possibility that self-sabotage is not a real concept, and that we are in a constant state of learning, evolving, and finding what’s in alignment with our truest selves. If you have a question or topic you’d like us to address, we would love to hear from you!
