Most people scroll past 1000 posts a day which means you have wired your brain for judgment comparison and contempt 1000 times over on a minimum per day.

info_outline#297: The Blocks to Owning Your Story
In this "Monday mindset'' episode, we are talking about the 4 blocks to owning your story. After coaching women for the past 5 years on owning their stories, I have found that we all tend to fall in between one of these 4 blocks. Identifying and owning your block is the best way to learn how to move through them. If you want the freebie gift of learning to identify your block, connect on the link in the show notes to sign up and be the first to receive it.
In this episode, we discuss:
1. The Victim Block – this is where we ask why, we keep ourselves stuck in our stories, we are looking for a reason or a justification. Learning how to change our questions from why to what and get into action can create the changes to stop being stuck as a victim in the story.
- The Fighter/Perfectionist Block– this is where we put our head down, work harder to control the world, burnout over and over, have ridiculous expectations of ourselves, and resist asking for help. Learning to let go of the control, focus on our own actions, ask for help and be open to receiving the help can shift this blockage.
- The People Pleaser Block – this is where everyone else is their top priority, they say yes to everyone else, they lose themselves in the process, they have a lack of worthiness and typically zero boundaries in place. Learning to put their needs first, fill their cup first and use the overflow for others, and then understand the importance of boundaries is the only way that they can learn to move through this block.
- The Hider Block – this is the professional smiler, the one saying, “I’m good”, they are a natural deflector, takes the conversation off of themselves, very afraid of the judgment of others, and afraid to let others in. Learning how to embrace vulnerability, show up and allow ourselves to be seen, then allows others to be our support. They have been waiting for us to show up.
