Manage episode 488251423 series 3557896
Where are you keeping yourself small, and what might change if you stopped? In this honest conversation, Whitney sits down with Lisa Marchiano, Jungian analyst and author of The Vital Spark, to talk about the parts of ourselves we’ve been taught to keep quiet. Lisa shares insights about the “outlaw” energies that live inside every woman that often get buried under a lifetime of trying to be nice, agreeable, and accommodating.
Lisa explores what it means to reconnect with our full selves. She offers a refreshing perspective on how embracing traits like assertiveness and self-authority isn’t selfish, but necessary. Lisa also touches on how these patterns show up in parenting, and how we can raise the next generation to honor their truth instead of shrinking to fit in.
This episode is an invitation to stop shrinking and start expanding into the fullness of who you are.
