In this episode of Over This Should, I chat with Christina Wong, a personal growth coach, about the journey of self-discovery and the importance of reconnecting with your authentic self. We discuss how breaking free from societal expectations is essential to starting the journey back to who you truly are. Christina shares her insights on acting from love rather than for love, developing a connection between mind and body, and the role of somatic healing in personal growth.
Key Takeaways:
- Feeling “stuck” is common and can signal a need for growth and change.
- Practicing self-compassion helps quiet the inner critic and promotes self-acceptance.
- Cultivating mind-body awareness enhances emotional resilience and wellness.
- Creating safety within oneself is essential for growth and self-confidence.
- Somatic healing practices facilitate emotional release and support personal growth.
- Challenging assumptions can lead to deeper self-awareness and understanding.
- Acknowledging and expressing emotions is a powerful step toward healing.
Is there anything that sparked some curiosity or a new perspective for you? Maybe it’s getting a little more in tune with yourself, exploring somatic healing, or rethinking what ‘acting from love’ could look like. I’d love to hear what’s resonating, feel free to send me a message.
