Obsessed With The Fallback and Making The Choice to Grow ft. Valerie Livesay

It can be challenging to catch up on old times when you haven't seen someone for a while. You may feel like you've changed, and they're still stuck in the past. This can especially happen when meeting a new person, your family, or another person you're accustomed to seeing in a certain way. It can feel like they are pulling you back into the past, and you struggle to be seen as the person you are now. And it can be even more frustrating when your own family sees you this way. It's important to remember that you are allowed to grow and change, and the same goes for the person you used to be. They may not recognize you now, but that doesn't mean you're not worth their time. But this doesn't have to be a negative experience. If you're prepared for it, you can use it as an opportunity to write, flip, and change the script and storyline to show them how far you've come. That's what we will be talking about in this episode with Valerie Livesay, PhD , the author of Leaving the Ghost Light Burning.Valerie has been thinking about and inquiring into the phenomenon of fallback for more than a decade. Following a career in higher education in both administration and faculty roles, Valerie now serves as the Chief Illuminator at Ghost Light Leadership, where she accompanies individuals through their discovery of self using the analogy of theater to set the stage for their historical and unfolding story.What You Will Learn From This Episode02:51 - All about the fallback theory09:39 - Knowing when you’re in fallback17:15 - Being a character in your own story and the ghost light23:32 - Changing the storyline versus typecasting ourselves27:18 - Being successful and drawing the line*****GET VAL'S AMAZING OFFER: www.ghostlightleadership.comRegister for the Ghost Light 6-week workshop and receive US$250 off the registration fee!Use the promo code: OBSESSED250This promo code is valid for the two cohorts scheduled in 2023 - one starting in January and one starting in April. *****Resources MentionedChuck Palus (Center of Gravity) - https://www.linkedin.com/in/chuck-palus-1001/Check out Valerie’s book here : LEAVING THE GHOST LIGHT BURNINGConnect with Valerie LivesayLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/valerielivesayphd/ Website: https://fallbacktheory.com/ See What Your Obsessed Girls Are Doing and Send Us Feedback!CROWN AND COMPASS | Linktree - https://linktr.ee/crownandcompassgirls-----Get Obsessed with us.
