Welcome to a solo cast episode of ‘Don’t Cut Your Own Bangs‘! In this episode, I dive into tackling my tech nightmares, facing limiting beliefs and how my experience connects to a client’s deeper understanding of their relationship patterns. I share relatable stories and actionable takeaways to help you navigate your own learning process: 1) The consistency of the learning process – a question or obstacle always initiates it. 2) The importance of compassionate curiosity – shifting ‘Why’ questions to ‘How’ and ‘What’ questions. 3) Embracing the spiral nature of progress – each iteration helps us move closer to our goals. Join me in making big feelings feel less scary and more approachable. As I say, ‘The process of learning is always the same, and it often starts with discomfort.’ Tune in and let’s unlearn to relearn together!
