Are you ready to take a journey to your Joyfully Ever After? Heidi Esther guides fellow soul-searchers to greater Joy and Authenticity with relatable true stories, playful printables, empowering conversations and mindfulness tools. She joins Katherine on My Dead Dragon this week, or should it be My Dead Jabberwocky, to share her story of going down the rabbit hole.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Heidi was a self-professed people pleaser and spent so much time managing other people’s feelings at the detriment of her own. It took 30 years for her feelings to come out and she didn’t know how to categorize them and fit back into her old life.
You don’t wake up one morning and have a hearty breakfast and head out with your sword and your armor to slay your dragon. Personal development is a long road with large and small steps.
Having people around you who validate you and tell you that the feelings you have are normal is so important when you’re on your journey to finding happiness. Finding unconditional acceptance is a great source of support, we're not meant to just be here alone.
Heidi would tell her past self-two things. Firstly, that it’s going to be okay. Secondly, she would tell herself that the guilt around self-care and thinking that her taking time for herself was bad for her children was not a healthy way to think.
As we’re taking actions on this journey, we can feel guilty, we can feel afraid. Just remember that it’s all part for the process.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I’d pause and ask myself, am I happy? Is this it?’
‘I call it eating my feelings parfait’
‘I’m an everyday superhero, I can save my day everyday’
‘Every single step had guilt’
