You Are Not Your Model with guest, Lauren Best

Episode 130 I wonder if you can relate to growing up and watching your mother and grandmother (father, grandfather, aunt, uncle) making everything perfect. Bedrooms were perfect, sheets ironed, dinner table gorgeous, clean up immediately, always being sure everything was in order?   For my guest Lauren Best, the stress of working so hard for these moments of perfection were exhausting, and so she grew up around this questioning, “ this is really not cool, but am I supposed to be that way?”   She felt so strongly that her body needed rest. She didn't know how to say, “I want to help you, but I don't have the energy,” because everyone else was still going. Lauren learned to not give herself that permission to acknowledge that perhaps she functioned differently, or her energy level is different.   As an adult Lauren struggled with uncertainty and feeling like she had to have all of the answers before she started something. Locked in the fear of not being perfect, Lauren was exhausted, missed opportunities, and developed physical and emotional issues.   She finally sought guidance and discovered it was OK not to be a type “A” personality and how to listen to what her body was telling her she needed. Lauren now embraces her flaws and finds more comfort in what she doesn’t know. She now makes decisions based on self-trust and following her energetic flow and intuition instead of making fear-based decisions.     Lauren Best is a Certified Hypnotherapist and Provoker of Possibility.
