WHAT THIS EPISODES ABOUT…

Hello Ladies! I’m Shauna Hoffman. I am so happy you have joined me for this podcast today. This tells me that you are on a journey of self-discovery. And I am so happy to go along for the ride. Today we are jumping into a conversation about what makes a healthy relationship. I have this model of healthy loving relationships that I share with my clients… that I want to share with you. The idea behind this is that if you have a healthy relationship with yourself, you will have an even healthier relationship with someone else. And here is the truth. If the other person does not have a healthy relationship with themselves you have no chance of together surviving in happiness.

08 Stuffing Your Feelings

WHAT THIS EPISODES ABOUT…

So today we’re going to talk about one of the most prevalent defense mechanisms that we women tend to use in relationships.

I call it stuffing, stuffing your feelings versus acknowledging them, processing them and speaking them to your partner or not just your partner. It could be your mom, your dad, your best friend, your kids, your boss. Oh yeah, we women are the true Queens of pushing our feelings away because they may make someone else uncomfortable or because we don’t like conflict or because someone taught us that our feelings don’t matter or because we have been told we are too emotional. We should stop that, shut down our feelings. Or it could be that we are afraid to share our feelings for fear of the repercussions of doing that. We fear that if we share our feelings, the other person may punish us in some way. Now let’s add another piece to this stuffing. I call it having no voice. You not just step away your feelings, you stuff away, your needs, your desires, your opinions.

07 What is Self Awareness?

February 29, 2020 By Shauna

WHAT THIS EPISODES ABOUT…

On today’s podcast, we are jumping right into the journey of self awareness, but before we do that we have to talk about why we need it. Here’s the simplest answer in a sentence. If you don’t become self aware and look at your piece of how a relationship ended, you are doomed to repeat the same mistakes in the next one and nobody wants that and if your partner has left you or your beloved is passed away, if you don’t become self aware of your hurt, your sadness and your tools to deal with the sadness, your healing will be a very difficult journey. With self-awareness, you’re taking control of your healing instead of feeling like you’re being drowned in the sadness was self-reflection. You’re starting to find the tools to heal your own wounds. This guy free working on me. Podcast is an opportunity for you to delve into the sides of you that you want to change, that you want to grow.

05 The Why of Self Awareness

February 14, 2020 By Shauna

WHAT THIS EPISODES ABOUT…

Hello and welcome to Guy Free Working on Me, a woman’s journey to self awareness. I am so glad you’re here today. You know we’ve been talking about so many different things. Self image, self awareness, self love, genuine self. I got a question from someone and I thought if they’re asking these couple of questions, then perhaps some of my listeners are also. So here was the question, ‘why do you call this a journey? Why is self-awareness a journey?’ All right. For those of you that know me, you know I’m a sailor. I’m a world traveler. I’m a lover of adventure. I really see this journey to self as an adventure, an exploration. Have you ever taken a journey somewhere that you’ve never been to? You know that the unknown is around every corner. You go to a foreign country or a new city and you don’t know what the people will be like. You wonder, will I fit in? If you’re going to like the food, if you’re going to get lost. But you have no choice to take this journey and learn the answers to all the questions as you go. Now, you can do it either filled with fear or you can do it with excitement. I like to think of the journey to awareness as the biggest, most exciting adventure you’re going to go on. You don’t know what’s around the corner and how it’s going to affect your life, but you’re gonna do it anyway. You journey into yourself and you learn the most important and profound things about who you are, how you came to be this way, and what you want to change. It’s one giant adventure to you.

02 The Adventure of Finding Ourselves

February 11, 2020 By Shauna

WHAT THIS EPISODES ABOUT…

Hello and welcome to Guy Free Working on Me. A woman’s journey to self-awareness. Oh, I’m so glad you’re here today because today we’re going to talk about why we’re doing what we’re doing. Why we’re doing the work, the work on ourselves. Actually I don’t even like to call it work. I like to call it the adventure to finding ourselves, the journey to finding ourselves. There’s so much in life that comes with knowing who you are from the inside out, being aware of your own feelings, being aware of what makes you happy. This is what we’re going to find in these podcasts. We’re going to find what makes you happy, what makes you unhappy, what are you hiding? What do you looking for? What are your dreams? What are your fantasies? The first work that we have to do is taking a look at our self. Actually that’s all of the work. You know the self is a really interesting concept. We have so many buzz words nowadays. Self awareness, self worth, self guidance, genuine self, a self esteem, self love. We are going to take a look at all of that, because without all of those selves you will never find your own happiness.
