Self-doubt is a slippery beast, but here's the deal: it's part of the human experience. Today's episode normalizes self-doubt & introduces several ways to help you overcome it and get on with bringing your dreams and desires to fruition. The world needs YOUR gifts. PERIOD. - Episode 73 is linked in my bio AND the last two IGTV videos I shared address self-doubt. 💙

You have a gift… and it’s time to use it.

"Don't be into trends. Don't make fashion own you,

"Don't be into trends. Don't make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way to live." —Gianni Versace. I’ve always loved fashion, but over the last 5 years, I’ve become keenly aware of its power to enact harm or to enact good. The reason I love @parkerclayintl so much is because of all the incredible good they are doing in the world. They are having a big sale RIGHT NOW with the code: SUMMEREDIT. You can get there via the link in my bio - Parker Clay or swipe up in my stories. Here I have the Merkato Signature tote in Sand. It’s a perfect carryall AND I wear it with such pride knowing where it came from and who it provided for… #parkerclayambassador #betterbagforabetterworld

Y'all, I want to normalize this. Growth is not linear, it's cyclical. We get better and better each go around, but that doesn't mean we are perfect.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of the most important lessons I've learned is radical self-acceptance. Whew, and let me tell you, this is hard as a recovering perfectionist. I used to think that because I knew better, I had to ALWAYS BE BETTER.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is great in theory, but in the moment where you are triggered, this is really hard. Then, it can get even slippery-er afterwards if you add your newest mistake to the loop list of all your past mistakes and play it each and every night before bed...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🛑 STOP.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is the radical self-acceptance part. WE ARE ALL, ALL THE THINGS. The good, the bad, the indifferent, the smelling like a rose bud AND the smelling like the inside of a fresh onion.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yes, we do want to create awareness around our triggers and how we can address them better AND we want to create a space of grace for ourselves so we can forgive (ourselves and others - but it's really hard to forgive others if you never forgive yourself...) and move forward faster.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The icky negative loops? - They may still play at times, BUT we have the power to TURN DOWN the volume on them and TURN UP the volume on our self-acceptance. You can choose who you give the 🎤 to.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💡 Tip to do this: Picture someone you love and admire. How do you think they would speak to themselves in this moment?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🎙 And now share with us - what would they say? Let's encourage each other.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💜💜💜 I'll go first. The woman I admire would say: Ha! That's funny. I guess my ego got activated there. That's gives me something to get curious about.

First, @elenabrower is on the podcast today chatting tender strength, service, and what it feels like to walk in faith. Second, I have a remarkable story regarding Elena to share with you:

I started taking Elena's yoga classes about 7 years ago on @yogaglo. Her energy transcends the screen and I found myself constantly drawn specifically to her classes. After one of her beautiful sequences (circa 2015), I remember being on my mat in my living room in Duluth, GA and hearing "you are going to know her someday."

My first thought was: "What? Where did that come from?" And then came a quiet knowing. And then came fear. And then came me forgetting about this prophetic moment.

Fast forward 6 years (and many life experiences) to last November when I tagged Elena in an Instagram story and SHE REACHED OUT TO ME and started the conversation.

I'm tearing up sharing this for a few reasons:

+ our souls know... OUR SOULS KNOW
+ we don't have to push, all we have to do is keep our hearts open and allow
+ the how is rarely revealed, but the opportunity to walk in faith and trust in the process is always there (the Universe REALLY DOES have our backs)

We are loved, we are seen, we are heard - so deeply and so acutely that when these things come to fruition and we realize the truth of them - it can be hard to fully comprehend the glory of them.

I'm sitting in deep gratitude today for a God that loves me (and you) beyond compare and for a connection with @elenabrower that God told me would come to life 6 years ago.

I love you all and thank you for listening,
J

Friends, I am LOVING living in Arizona. I feel like the path that was laid out for my soul before I arrived in this life, had me right here, right now. I feel so aligned, and it feels DIVINE. It's been a while since I've lived in a place that I love so much and the gratitude I feel right now is explosive.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Short story: I've been into alchemy since reading my favorite book ever, The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. And years ago, I chose Copper as the alchemical symbol that most aligned with who I am and want to be. The alchemical representation of copper is love, balance, feminine beauty, and artistic creativity.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Well guess what Arizona is known for? COPPER.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's amazing to me how God creates so intimately. It can be hard to see sometimes because not all answers are instantaneous, but when I reflect, I realize how divinely guided I have been since the beginning of time. Wow.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What places are you drawn to? Where does your heart want to live? (In my experience, these are clues, not pipe dreams)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Need some recs, friends. I just joined a new gym (yay!) and I want an app that directs my workouts. Do you have suggestions? I don’t need fully instructed workouts in real time (like Daily Burn or whatever)… I want something that’s like… “hey, it’s arm day, do these exercises at this weight this many times and you’ll build muscle.” Simple and straightforward so I’m not moving from thing to thing in the gym going… “oh this looks fun…” 😂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Kind of like what the WOD is for cross fitters, but for someone like me who who is intimidated by cross fit and wants something slightly less intense… Like what’s @jlo’s daily workout? I want that. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💪🏼💪🏽💪🏾💪🏿 I want all the recs, pls! Drop them 👇🏽.

"What's your most embarrassing story? What's your biggest pet peeve? If a book was written about your life, what would the first chapter be about?"
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
(hint: most embarrassing story has to do with an accidental fart... 🙄)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In this light-hearted episode of Self Discovery, @terirosborg (my right hand woman) asks me a series of questions aimed at letting you see behind the curtain of my life (her idea) to get to know me, your host, a little better. In general, Self Discovery is on the more contemplative, serious side, but there are so many other aspects to all of us. - This segment highlights stories and personality traits I have not yet shared on this podcast AND it introduces you to the DELIGHTFUL, @terirosborg . I'm hoping you'll hear a lot more from her in the future.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉👉👉 Ok, what's your most embarrassing story? I feel SO EXPOSED after sharing mine...
