Episode 7: Embracing Herself and Others Unapologetically with Helen Dorado Alessi
This sit down with my friend Helen Dorado Alessi is so rich and full of wisdom and insight, I hardly know how to begin. I lost track of how many times I stopped the recording when listening back to it, to capture a meaningful thought, quote, nugget of wisdom or resource, that I knew I had to capture.
We cover the full gamete in this episode, including, but not limited to her journey in getting to know herself after realizing the anxiety she felt when left alone with herself; how she learned to effectively self soothe when feeling anxious and nervous; how we need to get back to what we loved to engage in as a child before it was “tamed” out of us by culture (especially little girls); the importance of slowing down and examining a situation before just saying yes to it; how women need to stop leading like men and apologizing for who they are; knowing ourselves, why, and purpose given we’re here on this planet at this time for a reason, and the hope that can give us; that we’re all worthy of that partner who wants to see us fly and see us be who we truly are; forgiving ourselves as we embrace our layers; communicating new boundaries to those we are in relationship with; and that’s just the tip of the iceberg!
I hope you’ll join Helen and I in this engaging, thought provoking, affirming conversation. You will also lose count of how many times you stop the episode to write something down :) .
