Ep5 Let's Be Honest

Who are you? How honest are you about your character, the inner workings of your heart and mind? Does the story you tell yourself about who you are match your thoughts, actions, and motives? Ginny and Amanda dive into these questions and more by dissecting what emotional integrity means, and the discipline it takes to continue living true to principles that are important to you. They also investigate: How telling yourself that you don't care what anyone thinks of you can limit your personal growth The truth that even though most of what people say and how they act is a projection of their own insecurities, there may be a kernel of truth to what they say How to use tools such as meditation and journaling to get uncomfortably honest and to stay in the discomfort for as long as possible until you reach self-compassion Self-compassion is THE driving principle to do this work and how to remove self-judgment in order to find self-compassion  How emotional abandonment in childhood creates "survival traits" and how to integrate these traits in a way that serves you and the world around you better Ginny and Amanda divulge personal stories about getting honest about who they really are, their history of emotional abandonment and how that drove much of their behavior (and still does at times), as well as how their perception of situations is not always as it seems.  *Please let Ginny and Amanda know your experience with the challenges presented at the end of each episode.
