Giving Yourself Grace in Life's Traffic Jams ft. Leslie Davis - #350

Leslie is a wonderful advocate for self-love. She showed me compassion when I missed our interview nearly a year ago (I slept in) and I feel the power of her message. We talked about so many different things in this interview it was just a real joy! Hope you enjoy it as well.Leslie's Links:You Can't Eat Love Book - https://www.amazon.com/You-Cant-Eat-Love-Relationship-ebook/dp/B08RYC6Y8FTime Stamps:5:30 - Learning About Emotions in Yourself11:40 - Where Do Her Ideas Come From? 16:00 - Traffic Jam of Life Analogy22:00 - Traffic Jam With Thoughts26:11 - Training Dogs34:00 - Hamsters in Our Heads35:00 - Water Park of Adversity Analogy36:30 - The Power of Written Conversations With YourselfQuotes:24:40 - Kindness and compassion and gratitude activate the rewards center in the brain, and so does shaming yourself and berating yourself - which one will you choose?29:10 - "The triggers do not go away, but how we handle them, gets stronger."39:06 - "You love so much what you are becoming, that you are willing to go the extra mile and help out in this way."Support the show
