S2 EP9 - Tools for Resilience: Why It's Time to Stop Being So Nice

Niceness vs kindness. What would you choose?Niceness is a safety strategy that many of us have used as a way to stay safe in the world. It trains us to put others' wants, needs and desires ahead of our own. But it also damages our experience of our lives and our connections, whether that's because we're people pleasing, being passive aggressive or hiding who we are.In this episode we'll be looking at niceness vs kindness, the impact of the culture we live in and how we internalise ideas of what we're allowed to do and not allowed to do, as well as the process of reclamation of true self that comes from dropping kindness -  and the deep inner peace that brings. At the end of the day, all of us just want to be who we are.Guest: Erika Chalkley  (Insta: @your_right_to_be)Host: Alex, resilience coach (Insta: @alexshorecoaching) www.shore-coaching.comNotes on Vulnerability on social media: @notesonvulnerability (Insta)Try some resilience coaching for free with these 5 Resilience Coaching Questions that will Change your Life.Are you someone who sets goals and never reaches them?
