Episode 11 - How do I stop stressing?

For this episode, we have  Avery Virginia, she is an intuitive guide and helps people conquer and work with their limiting beliefs. In the past episodes, we talked a lot about physical health. I brought  Avery today to touch on the other aspects of our health – emotional and spiritual.We had a question from Caroline in Cincinnati, Ohio. She is 40 years old and said she is working on taking care of herself, but she feels guilt and worries about it. She is asking for tips on stopping worrying so she can take care of herself. I work with many women, and I find that we carry so much guilt and shame when we want to take some time off for ourselves. Listen to how Avery and I tackle this question, and I hope this episode helps you one way or another! Let’s talk about:  00:35 – Introduction to today’s guest 01:16 – The importance of looking into the combination of physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of overall health02:00 – Avery on healing depending on your environment 03:39 - Introduction to the topic03:58– Initial take on the topic04:29 – Subconscious vs. Conscious – how subconscious beliefs can affect our lives07:12 – Avery on restrictive diets, losing weight08:30 - The unrealistic expectations set for our bodies and how it affects us 09:51 – What is intuition10:30 – What happens when we don’t listen to our intuition 11:25 – My journey with being diagnosed with cancer and how people-pleasing affected me 12:25 – How women’s spiritual worth, values, beliefs, and upbringing affects how they show up to the world13:46 - Men being invalidated due to the cultural patterns set in society 14:41 – The different narratives and how it affects a person15:20 – The masculine and feminine energies17:09 – Doing the personal work – how it guides you and your mission in life17:27 – How people forget about joy and what joy does in one’s life17:58 – Who feels most guilt around doing personal work 18:35 – My own experience listening to my intuition for my business21:06 – The fear and guilt of spending money for yourself despite working hard and how to get past it22:35 – The belief system that one has to embody for themselves and their children24:38 – Money as a social construct24:50 – How I healed after getting diagnosed with cancer26:07 – Fears, stress hormones, emotions, and how your belief system and narrative play a role in how you see, live life33:06 – When and how to start finding joy37:10 – Sexuality and relationship affecting finding joy and healing39:28 - The disconnection and loss of identity for moms43:22 – Another belief system that crushes our soul 44:35 – The benefit of doing physical activities in creating joy 49:05 – Chronic illnesses54:43 – The emotional, spiritual, and physical aspect of healing 56:40 – Living life may mean a less scary death57:18 – ConclusionIf you want to connect with Avery Virginia, check her out on Instagram.  Want support for perimenopause that goes beyond hormones?Whether you (or your clients) are taking HRT but still having symptoms, not ready for it, or can’t tolerate it...there’s more we can do.I’ll be sharing practical tools from a movement and rehab perspective, focusing on the nervous system, fascia, lymph, viscera, and musculoskeletal system.If you want updates on workshops, resources, and strategies to support this phase of life more fully, would love you to join my email list.Subscribe to my email list hereI’ll see you in 2 weeks!PS:If you are interested in being a guest on the show, please fill out the form here.
