485: Is Personal Development Making You More of an A**hole?

from Feminine as F*ck · host Monica Yates

Doing the work isn't the goal. Coming home to yourself is. || ⇢ WATCH ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBBTohmEUSo Monica's been a leader in the trauma healing and feminine/masculine embodiment industry for 10 years now, and in that time, she’s watched so many people get stuck on the hamster wheel of personal development. In this episode, she calls out the harm caused by this need to always improve yourself, and describes what the actual end goal of “doing the work” is, because it’s not what you may think it is. She also gets into: ✨ Why people who are “always doing the work” are the least at peace✨ Why awareness does NOT equal healing✨ Her signature H.E.R. Framework✨ The difference between managing trauma vs. healing it✨ Why true healing can’t be done in a low-cost, DIY course✨ Nervous system capacity vs. regulation, and why you need both✨ The stages of integration and embodiment, and why they’re just as important as healing✨ The importance of self-acceptance along with self-improvement✨ Why resilience, not perfection, is the whole point +++++  As Mentioned In The Episode: ⇢ Hop on the waitlist — Juicy New Signature Program: https://go.monicayateshealth.com/waitlist2026 ⇢ Join the program — Empoweredly Submissive: https://go.monicayateshealth.com/empoweredly-submissive ⇢ Listen next — 366: The Dark Side of Personal Development & How to Know if You’ve Actually Done the Work: https://go.monicayateshealth.com/ep366 ⇢ Sign up for the Monthly Newsletter — The Boardroom & Bedroom Diaries: https://go.monicayateshealth.com/newsletter ⇢ Order the BOOK — Becoming HER: https://go.monicayateshealth.com/book ⇢ Monica’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/monicayateshealth ⇢ Full, SEARCHABLE Podcast Directory: https://go.monicayateshealth.com/podcasts Remember to leave a written review on Apple Podcasts, screenshot it before you submit it, and email it to us at [email protected] to receive an exclusive meditation track as a 'thank you' from Monica. This podcast and its content is copyright of Monica Yates Health © and Feminine as F*ck ©.
