#138 You Are Ready Now with Ale González

Have you ever experienced a day where you feel so happy and the next moment you can't stop crying? That's literally how my past few weeks have been for me. When we learn to dance in this polarity of feeling extremely high vibe in one moment and frustrated or angry in the next one, we become incredibly resilient. The key is to allow your emotions to be there without judgment, knowing that your emotions don't mean anything about your worth. When we can learn to accept what is and be present with what is, we strengthen a muscle that's going to be incredibly valuable for the rest of your life. This is the final episode of Season 2!

Sometimes, the only thing that's standing in your way is yourself. If you are an overthinker, you want to do many different things, and feel like you know what you need to do, but still can't take the first step, you're going to resonate a lot with Ale González in this on-air coaching episode. Ale from Mexico has been looking for something to fulfill her. After being intoxicated by a pill a doctor gave her to cure her depression, Ale was ill for almost six months, which made her rethink her life and question everything. She's currently interested in creating a business and has several great ideas, but feels overwhelmed with where to start and doesn't fully believe in herself.   In today's episode, we talk about how to determine what exactly is holding her back why there's more to moving forward in life than just what you think how to release the heavy weight on your shoulder that's keeping you stuck why having clear conversations with loved ones are key for your worthiness why you are ready now (and don't need x, y, or z before you can be ready) how to ask for help without feeling like a failure And so much more!    You can find the full show notes here: http://martinafink.com/podcast/138   Have you downloaded the free Self-Care Guide for Perfectionist yet?

Joanne Daniels is a 32 year old mum of one who has a high pressured job working as Finance Manager for a London based Asset Manager.  She often reached the point of burn out, putting the demands of her job / needs of others before herself, which was affecting her health and her relationships and she knew something needed to change. She has several perfectionist tendencies, which have served her well in some respects, and not so well in others.  Due to working remotely, especially in the past year, she was able to dedicate more time to herself and finally prioritised herself.  Jo recently graduated from Perfectionist Rehab and said: "This course has changed me as a person for the better, and I feel blessed to be able to share my story with others, to hopefully inspire others that they can do this, they can change and take steps towards the glow life, and it is reachable if you put your heart and mind to it."   In today's episode, we talk about migraines, relationship conflict, and snappy behavior why your feelings as a perfectionist matter how to make new friends where you can share with no fear of being judged how to never again cry behind closed doors why knowing your core values can improve work + your life outside of work how to be in tune with yourself And so much more!    You can find the full show notes here: http://martinafink.com/podcast/134   Have you downloaded the free Self-Care Guide for Perfectionist yet?

Yes, of course I will help you!  Yes, of course I can do this for you! Yes, of course I can skip my workout and meditation today! When you always say yes to everyone and everything, you end up feeling depleted with neither energy nor time for yourself. And you start feeling overwhelmed with all the life responsibilities you've taken on. Time to reestablish some clear boundaries with yourself around when it's time for YOU to recharge and also stick to these boundaries yourself. Catherine Lewis is on this episode for an on-air coaching session, where we will identify what the root cause of her overwhelm is, and what she can do to step out of it and take better care of herself. Over the years, Cath has struggled with weight, PCOS and hormonal issues, high expectations of herself since she was a teenager, and never having time for herself, because she's either working, there for her husband, her dog, friends, and family, which has hugely impacted her mental health and stress levels.    In today's on-air coaching episode, I'm coaching Catherine through how to lower the high expectation you have of yourself that make you feel fuzzy in your head what to prepare and not get overwhelmed when you have to go back to work after a long time in isolation what happens when you're too flexible and too giving all the time (hint: not good!) a powerful heart/emotion exercise to figure out why she's stuck with her self-care how to prioritize yourself when you want to be the best in everything how to set better boundaries with herself the no. 1 (+ super simple!) thing Catherine needs to do now to decrease the overwhelm of life responsibilities And so much more!    You can find the full show notes here: http://martinafink.com/podcast/131   Have you downloaded the free Self-Care Guide for Perfectionist yet?

Perfectionists love controlling... Controlling workouts, what you eat, how you move your body, how many tasks you got done in a day. Perfectionists also like to overthink and often have a very strong inner voice that tends to be extremely mean and loud. Today, I am speaking to my wonderful client, Apryl Franchini, who has been able to fully release control and perfection in her life and learned to shift from her overthinking mind into her beautiful heart. Apryl is, just like myself, a certified Holistic Health Coach (IIN) and she specializes in food freedom and body love. She helps women ditch the scale and eat with zero guilt. Apryl recently moved to Bali and is currently living her very own version of the glow life in paradise. In today's episode, we talk about how she got from feeling confused, lost, overly controlling to becoming her own best friend how she ditched her Apple watch and learned to listen to her body's needs why she was still perfectionizing her eating disorder and basically cheated on herself how she stopped overthinking everything and started trusting her heart what it truly means to be kind to yourself And so much more!  And you can find everything we talk about today in the show notes at https://martinafink.com/podcast/130   Have you downloaded the free Self-Care Guide for Perfectionist yet?
