WHAT THIS EPISODES ABOUT…

Hello ladies. Welcome. I’m Shauna Hoffman. I cannot wait to share with you today’s story of reinvention. We’ve talked in some of the past podcasts about the idea that when we truly go off on our own journey of self-awareness, we find that the identity we have made for ourselves in our past is not who we want to be today. We realize that what we felt identified us was based on everyone else’s definition of who we are instead of our own.

It’s also true that as we grow, age and put our needs first, whether with a man or single as a parent with kids at home or an empty nester, we find that there are dreams we have for ourselves that we have chosen to put aside at some time in our life, or maybe there are dreams that we never even realized we had, until that moment that we chose to be Guy Free Working on Me.

I am so excited to share with you our guest today LaVelda Conrad and her amazing story of reinvention. She is a woman whose story epitomizes the struggles that we go through to find a way to honor ourselves, love ourselves, and take back our lives.

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

March 7, 2020 By Shauna

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.

06 Live In This Moment

February 23, 2020 By Shauna

WHAT THIS EPISODES ABOUT…

The willingness to will nothing. As we travel on our journey, there are times when everything we think, we understand all of our tools and our knowing of how to survive. The life’s curve balls seemed to be irrelevant or maybe outdated is a better word or archaic or just plain useless. We find ourselves thinking and thinking about what our next survival tool will be. What will our next step in life be? What should I do now? What will be the anchor in the store? Revelation? Maybe for a moment in your life you are not supposed to be anchored. Maybe your most current upheaval is a new chance at a new beginning. Do we always have to understand why things happen to us? Do we always have to have a plan for our lives. I’ve come to realize that it is the unknowing of life that is the most fulfilling, the deconstructing of a structure that might not have been sound in the first place.
