210: How to Address Disappointment from Both a Spiritual & Psychological Perspective

In this podcast episode of I'm Perfectly Divine, we explore the hidden layers behind disappointment and how the mind often steps in to convince us to move past these feelings. Initially, we may attempt to self-soothe, but if there’s a deeper fear at play—a fear that's tied to our personal growth—these efforts might only bring temporary relief. At the heart of disappointment lies our beliefs that are deep-seated convictions that conflict with what we truly want. When a belief opposes our desired outcome, it can trigger fear, shame, or dread. This fear tells us that our dreams may never come to fruition; shame suggests we might not be "enough" to achieve them, while dread raises anxiety about facing our day with a sense of lack. These emotions, though challenging, are ultimately guiding us back to a place of empowerment. They reveal what internal shifts are needed to realign us with our core essence. This episode delves into how disappointment can be a pathway to self-discovery, showing us how to support ourselves from the inside out and nurture beliefs that truly serve us. Plus, when you listen to the end, I sing a little ditty for you to support your emotions and soul to remember your truth :)! Stay connected & learn more: https://michellebersell.com
