The Myth of Having It All Figured Out EP 84
from The Deliberate Exchange - Navigating Stress, Sobriety & Self-Trust — One Deliberate Step at a Time · host Chelsea Powell
I didn't plan this episode.I was standing in the shower (where I seem to have half of my best ideas), thinking about how much I'm still learning.And if I'm being honest, how uncomfortable I am with people seeing me learn.Somewhere along the way, I picked up this belief that because I'm a coach, because I teach breathwork and how to deal with stress (well) and sobriety, that I should have everything figured out by now.But that's not actually how growth works.In this episode, I talk about the pressure to be perfect, why I still experience imposter syndrome sometimes, and what I've learned about helping people while still walking through my own challenges.I share some reflections on sobriety, rebuilding my life after alcohol, learning new ways to cope, learning how to receive love, and why I think I've been doing myself (and others) a disservice by expecting myself to be "finished."The truth is, I'm still learning.We all are.And maybe the goal isn't to have it all figured out.Maybe the goal is to keep showing up, keep collecting the lessons, and keep taking the next step.If you've ever felt like you're behind, not doing enough, not healed enough, or like you should be further along by now, I think you'll find yourself somewhere in this conversation.Looking for somewhere to have conversations like this?Every Wednesday at 8 PM EST, I host a free community call for women who are sober, alcohol-free, or questioning their relationship with alcohol. We talk about the stuff that comes with choosing to live differently... the rebuilding, the relationships, the identity shifts, the hard days, and figuring out what you actually want your life to look like now.You don't need to have it all figured out, and you don't need to be a certain number of days, months or years alcohol-free. Come listen, share, connect, and be around other women who get it.Join us for free → https://thedeliberateone.com/the-deliberate-community🔁 Ongoing support: The Deliberate Practice — a steady rhythm of nervous system regulation, breathwork, and integration.Explore everything at thedeliberateone.com Connect on Instagram @thedeliberateoneIf this episode supported you, you can buy me a coffee here
