Ep. 48 – How to Get Yourself on Board to Do Sh*t That Scares You

Ready for a free coaching session? In this episode, take notes while I take you through the visual I use with clients to help them do things that scare them. Sometimes, we get caught in fight, flight, fawn or freeze responses. Especially as entrepreneurs, we’re constantly coming up against circumstances that are just…not normal.

So, let’s pretend you’ve just been invited to do a TedTalk style speech for a very well-known vitamin brand. I use this an example because this is currently happening in Reclamation right now. We’ve also had people land actual TedTalks and have used this process with them as well.

Tons of thoughts might be coming up. Things like – What if they say my price is too much? What if I mess up? What if they don’t like me? Do I actually have time for this? And on, and on.

So..how can you get out of these thought spirals and actually move towards something that scares you?

The answer is: Get in touch with what I call your Internal Boardroom. This is an introduction to parts work – a key focus in therapy and business/life coaching. It’s kind of like the movie Inside Out.

By the end of this episode, you’re going to have the tools you need to understand yourself on a deeper level. And when you understand yourself, you can work with all of your inner voices to get out of trauma responses that might be holding you back.

• What is Parts Work?
