I’d Rather Be Naked! Removing The Labels...

About this episode

Send us a text

Have you ever felt like a label was holding you back? My name is Sally, and I'm here to take you on a journey of self-discovery as we examine the invisible labels we carry—labels that may be shaping our self-perception in ways we don't even realize. In honour of celebrating International Women's Day this month, I'm peeling back the layers on self-sabotaging terms like 'people pleaser' ‘cynic’ and 'perfectionist', sharing my own battles with these descriptors and discussing their potential to both empower us and constrain our growth. Together, we will uncover how these labels might be impacting not just our personal but our societal roles, and how we can transform them from barriers into bridges.

Navigating the labyrinth of mental health and productivity isn't easy, but we're tackling it head-on. If you're struggling with setting boundaries, overthinking, or feeling like an imposter, this episode is your toolbox for change. I offer tangible strategies, such as embracing mindfulness and turning procrastination into proactive action, all steeped in the practice of self-compassion. Discover how to transcend the paralysis of analysis and the fear of being 'found out', and learn how to redefine your relationship with work and self-expectation into something healthier and more sustainable.

I don’t know about you but I’d rather be naked than keep wearing all these ill-fitting labels! 

Join me, and let's begin the transformation to authentic self-empowerment.

This is not the final quote in this episode  but it's definitely a thought provoking one. I'll leave it here for you to ponder and reflect that maybe, just maybe, our insecurities are nothing more than the labels we assigned ourselves (or others did).

 “My insecurities demand that I put you in a box that you were not created for so that I might live the ignorant life that I was not created for.”  Craig D. Lounsbrough
