from Grounded Wildness · host Heather Whelpley
Today's episode is the first of a four-part series to help you uncover where you are performing in your life. We'll talk about how you move from your youthful wildness where you aren't impacted by the rules into the years of performing, where you feel the weight of "should" and "supposed-to" and all the rules and expectations that make you feel behind, like you aren't doing enough, or that some part of you is broken. These rules tell you to filter yourself, hold back, and chameleon your true self to fit what is expected.Then we'll dive straight into the first way you perform: Proving. We'll hit on:Heather's story of proving and how it relates to overachieving, productivity, her body, dating, and men - and the somewhat embarrassing (but maybe totally normal?) ways she worked to prove herself to men, even well into her 30sA different way to look at worthiness that changed Heather's whole perspective (this one will especially resonate with you if you're confident in many parts of your life, but feel behind, broken, or less than in other parts)How to recognize proving in your own life so that you can start to break the proving rules and reclaim your freedomLinks:Pre-order Grounded Wildness - coming soon!Learn more about hiring Heather as a speakerGet An Overachiever's Guide To Breaking The Rules on Heather's website or Amazon
