Ep 44: Am I Being Selfish?
Many of us think that we have to say yes to every demand from our family, friends, coworkers (or any human on the planet) or it means we are being selfish, or that asking people to do something for us means *we* are selfish. In this episode, we take a closer look at what it actually means to be selfish and provides some tools to discern where we fall of the continuum from self-centered to self-sacrificing.If you find yourself stuck in a self-sacrifice loop because you're afraid that the alternative means you're selfish, let's talk.

Ep 43: Self-Coaching: Sunday Spiral Edition
If you've been curious about what thought work and coaching *actually* look like, this is the episode for you. I give you a behind-the-scenes view of one of my recent experiences.Mindset coaching is an opportunity to bring our unconscious into our conscious awareness. This generates bucket loads of self-awareness and knowledge while also putting us in the driver's seat of our lives. When we consistently look under the hood of our minds, so to speak, we can see what is driving how we feel and show up in the world.

Ep 38: Break Free from Guilt
In this episode I talk about two ways guilt shows up in our lives. The guilt we feel when we have actually done something that violates our moral code, and the guilt we feel when we do something that we think others won't like.Sometimes we trick ourselves into thinking that holding on to guilt, carrying it around like an old backpack, helps prevent us from repeating past mistakes. For those who have tried this approach, you're well aware of its pitfalls. In this episode, I talk about sources of guilt, why we choose guilt, and how we can break free when guilt isn't serving us.If you find yourself stuck in guilt and struggling to move forward, reach out to me at jessicasmarro.com to get you on your path to breaking free.Let's Get Unblocked!FREEBIES TO HELP YOU GET UNBLOCKED:The Unblocked Journal Join My Free Do The Thing Community
