S07|02 - Creating Space

Crystal the Parenting Coach
About this episode

Creating space is the first step. You can’t pour more water into a cup that is already overflowing. What are you spending your time on? What are you choosing to do with “your one precious life?” Are you happy with how you spend your time? If you want new growth and change, that hasn’t happened before- creating space comes first. Tune in as we talk about why this is a struggle for us and how we can start small. 

In this episode: 

  • How my life was go-go-go and didn’t leave space for anything new, like healing and change
  • How stopping the fast pace of my life felt like running a marathon 
  • How to do a time audit, and start creating change in how we spend our time 
  • How our own childhood, and past traumas affect us now
  • Creating time and space for stillness is integral to healing
