What happens when something doesn’t go according to plan, and your first instinct is to make yourself the problem?
In part two of the Cherry Lime Rum and Emotional Sabbaticals conversation, Erin and Elana get into the tender, funny, and very human work of building a kinder relationship with yourself. The kind that helps you learn from mistakes without spiraling, ask for what you actually want, and stop treating your well-being like an optional business expense.
Because yes, your goal matters. But if you sacrifice yourself to reach it, the goal is probably not going to feel quite as sparkly once you get there.
In this episode of The Coaching Mixer, Erin and Elana talk about:
- Why committing to your well-being matters more than committing to your goal
- How self-compassion can become a skill, especially if self-cruelty has been your default setting
- How to learning from something that didn’t work instead of using it as evidence against yourself
- What it looks like to ask directly for support, appreciation, and recognition instead of waiting for people to offer it
You don’t have to become a person who floats through life in perfect self-love. You can simply learn to interrupt the Static and build a steadier, warmer relationship with yourself.
