Elizabeth Day: letting go of expectation...

The Wellness Scoop
About this episode

This week Ella is joined by Elizabeth Day for an empowering conversation on releasing societal pressures, navigating life’s ups and downs and how Elizabeth kept moving forwards when things don’t go to plan, plus the tools that supported her to embrace failure, imperfections, and chase the life she truly desired.

 

They discuss:

  • Societal expectations to have the ‘perfect’ life
  • People pleasing to fit in
  • Cultivating deep friendships
  • Finding the courage to go after the life you desire
  • Gut instincts
  • Discovering what you need rather than what you want
  • The inner work crucial for moving forwards
  • Turning physical strength into mental resilience
  • Elizabeth’s non-negotiables for feeling well
