34 I Am So Worthy of Receiving the Best in Life!

September 6, 2020 By Shauna

WHAT THIS EPISODES ABOUT…

Welcome back to Guy Free Working on Me, I’m your host Shauna Hoffman.

I hope you have been good to yourself this last week! Which is what brings me to this week’s podcast! I decided after months of not spoiling I would just book myself a facial! And as I was lying there getting totally pampered I realized what this week’s podcast had to be…Receiving! And one big piece of receiving… accepting that we deserve it!

Let’s look at the relationships we choose. What we receive is all are wrapped around what we feel we deserve…what we feel we are worthy of. If we feel we are worthy of a healthy loving relationship then we should be able to receive love in a healthy loving relationship. But if we are taught that we do not deserve to be loved, or that we must earn love in some way to be worthy of it then the kind of relationships we choose will be based on that. We repeat the same kind of love relationships that we were taught we deserved.

33 The Lessons of Mothers and Daughters

August 29, 2020 By Shauna

WHAT THIS EPISODES ABOUT…

Hello and welcome! I’m Shauna Hoffman.

Today I am finally talking about mothers and daughters. I have promised this podcast for a few weeks now. I think the reason that I kept putting it off is that it’s such a profound conversation. It’s filled with so much emotion, joy, or pain for so many people. And where do I begin? This is a relationship that is different for each and every one of you. Whether you are listening today as a Mom, or as a daughter or as both, the story of moms and daughters weave a very colorful canvas. There are those of you who have had truly beautiful relationships with your mothers. There are those of you whose biggest sadness, heartache, and pain is from what should be a truly sacred bond. And there are those of you who are currently trying to navigate this journey every day with your own daughters, young, teen and adult.

This podcast is meant to be a journey to self-awareness. And there is no way that I can help you do that if you don’t take a deep look at the relationship you had with your mother. There are models online that talk about the different kind of mother-daughter relationships. From best friends, or sister relationships to cheerleaders or authoritarians. But the best way that I can help you today is to help you see that this relationship is one that deeply affected your idea of who you are. It is the relationship that helped you know what unconditional love is or isn’t. It is the relationship that either empowered you, or broke you down. It is the model for you of what a woman is. And what a woman’s role in society is. Most importantly it is what you were programmed about who you are and what you deserve in life.

27 I Don’t Do This

July 18, 2020 By Shauna

WHAT THIS EPISODES ABOUT…

Hello, Ladies…and a few very hip gentlemen who are listening to this podcast, I’m Shauna Hoffman.

Oh, today is going to be fun. I am sharing with you my favorite most empowering phrase of all time.

Let me give you a little lead-in for it first. You know that moment when you are shocked that you are engaging with someone who is just pissing you off? That moment when you find yourself arguing the inarguable with someone who just won’t listen? Yet, you keep talking? All of a sudden you are dragged into a storm and your mind is screaming how am I going to get out of this? And with some people in your life, this is an ongoing experience? I thoroughly believe …100 %… that there comes a time when you just have to say to yourself, “I don’t do this”. I just don’t do this.

25 Encore Of The Three Selves

July 4, 2020 By Shauna

WHAT THIS EPISODES ABOUT…

Hello and welcome to Guy Free Working on me, a woman’s journey to self-awareness. I’m Shauna Hoffman. I’m so glad you’re with me today.

Today I am sharing an encore of a very popular episode called the path of the three selves. We’ve heard these phrases before. These are what I call the three selves self awareness, self esteem and genuine self. I bet most of you have never really given much thought to what each of them means, but these three phrases are the roots of self-learning and the tools to find peace in any relationship. We’ve been already talking about self awareness and that it means the awareness of your true feelings, dreams, needs, desires. Being able to look at yourself, become aware of the things you need to change your boundaries, your defense mechanisms, things that you need to do differently in order to have a really happy life. We are so going to delve into that much, much deeper in the weeks to come, but for right now we’re going to jump over to the other two selves.

22 The Voice of a Woman

June 13, 2020 By Shauna

WHAT THIS EPISODES ABOUT…

Hi Everyone, I’m Shauna Hoffman

Welcome to Guy Free, Working On Me. The last episode was pretty profound for so many people, including me. The feedback that I have gotten as to the soul searching it brought up for my listeners has been eye opening for all of us. I hope that as we fly through these episodes you continue to dig deep into your thoughts and beliefs, morals, ethics and values. For that is the true path to Self Awareness.

But what good is our new found values, opinions, thoughts and desires if we as woman are afraid to use our voice and share it with the world?

I find myself in therapy constantly trying to empower women to share their voices. In my book I talk about the Adaptive Child State in all of us. It is a side of our personalities that woman have been made to embrace for thousands of years. It is the side of us that adapts our needs and wants to do what others desire versus what we desire. We become adaptive to their needs, their dreams, their lives. And we learn to quiet our brilliant, strong and powerful voices. I call it the No VOICE state. But there is a new shift in the world. It is a shift where woman are not only taking back their voices, but they are shouting them to the heavens. In this time of protests and bloggers and podcasters we are seeing the voices of women claim back our rights. Not only out in the public for the world to see. But in our work places, in our families and most importantly… in our relationships.
