She teaches her clients the same holistic process that she, herself, used to lose 50 lbs almost seven years ago. Throughout her own transformation and through her work with her clients, Jaime has discovered that one of the key components to how we feel in our bodies–whether we feel good or bad–is related to DESIRE, specifically how WE RELATE to our own desires. Her purpose now is to lead a movement of people who are truly connecting with themselves, who are able to know and own their authentic desires, and support them in discovering the courage and conviction to step into those desires so that they can feel good, not just in their bodies, but in their whole BEING. Stay in touch with Jaime:Website: truehappybody.comInstagram: @truehappybody

Hey friends! In this episode, I have a candid conversation about a recent experience in developing trust. Trust can be a tricky thing for some.  I don't struggle to trust other people, but turns out I have some blocks around trusting that I will have what I need when I need it. Take a listen for what feels like a breakthrough in trust for me.This episode is an example of what happens with coaching.  We tend to the soil of our minds so that seeds planted can grow into the fruits of our labor.  The learning, growth, and transformation don't always happen immediately.  But we create an inner landscape that is *ready* when the time is right.  Go to jessicasmarro.com to start your journey.If you haven’t already gotten your FREE digital copy of The Unblocked Journal, click HERE to grab one. Feel free to share this podcast widely if you think it might be useful to someone, and be sure to subscribe so that you don’t miss an episode.Also, please take a moment to leave a review.  Constructive feedback, ideas, and praise are welcome.Let’s Get Unblocked!FREEBIES TO HELP YOU GET UNBLOCKED:The Unblocked Journal Join My Free Do The Thing Community

It's time to witness and un-shame our humanity.  Kierkegaard told us that life is not a problem to be solved but a reality to be experienced.  The same holds true for us.  We are a reality to be experienced.  In the self-help movement, some of us lost the "self" we were intending to help. This episode is an invitation to shift the focus from fixing yourself to getting to know yourself.  We are a 1 in 400 trillion reality to be experienced. It's time to shift from judging, changing, fixing, improving yourself  to *knowing* and experiencing yourself, ALL of yourself.  There is space in the world for a human being that is shaped like you, looks like you, acts like you.  And if it doesn't seem like there is, you get to create and claim it! As you listen to this episode, some of you will feel this in your bones.  You’re longing to know you.  You’re yearning to touch on self-acceptance, self-like, self-love but it feels out of reach.  That’s what I’m here for.  We can’t see all of it when we’re in it and that's not a problem.  I got you.  Say yes to giving yourself the gift of YOU.  Let’s work together to create the story you tell of you to be one that feels true and worthy.  Go to jessicasmarro.com right now and schedule your free call.
