"You Are Enough Just As You Are!" | Your Creative Chord Podcast Ep 20

"You Are Enough Just As You Are!" (Part 1 of 2) features my conversation with licensed psychologist, author, and clinical supervisor Dr. Tara Sanderson. Our conversation is relevant for those who struggle with perfectionism, overachieving, anxiety, depression, and “the inner critic.” “Through intentional choices, you are enough just as you are.”“Be non-judgmental, on purpose, and fully present.”“This juxtaposition of feeling like what you are going through, who you are, and how you navigate the world is too much. And yet you’re not enough at the same time.”“It’s not because of intentional choices or because you’re working really hard that you’re enough. You take off all those chains and those shackles of ‘too much-ness’ and ‘not enough-ness’ by just feeling confident and comfortable with the decisions you are making. You are enough.”“The Mindfulness ‘SOBER’ tool = Stop. Observe. Breathe. Examine Options. Respond.”“Take time before your decision, pause your auto-pilot to match your decision with your values.”Checkout her book, "Too Much, Not Enough A guide to decreasing anxiety and finding balance through intentional choices." and find Dr. Tara Sanderson at: https://www.drtarasanderson.com✨ Free ResourcesExplore practical ways to nurture your creative energy and maintain wellness with my Creative Empowerment Sampler — a gentle, actionable guide anyone can use.Reset your energy and support recovery from burnout with my short, reflective Burnout RESET Guide — simple steps you can use right away.Got thoughts or feedback?
