Feeling like you're constantly breaking promises to yourself? That persistent self-betrayal isn't a character flaw—it's an energy imbalance in your solar plexus chakra. Today's soul-stirring exploration takes us to the powerhouse energy center in your upper belly that governs self-esteem, personal power, and integrity.
We've all experienced that morning motivation that somehow evaporates by evening. You wake up determined to exercise, eat clean, or maintain boundaries, but by day's end, exhaustion and decision fatigue hijack your best intentions. This episode dives deep into why we struggle to keep our word to ourselves, even when following through would make us feel "so damn good." Drawing from both my clinical experience and personal burnout recovery journey, I share how balancing your solar plexus requires mastering three essential elements: time management, boundary-setting, and self-integrity.
The heart of this episode introduces my "Superpower Model"—a transformative approach to breaking self-sabotage cycles. This CBT-based framework helps you identify how facts create thoughts, thoughts generate feelings, and feelings drive actions. The magic happens when you intercept and transform those thoughts, because changing your thinking changes everything downstream. I guide you through practical steps to catch self-defeating thought patterns and replace them with empowering alternatives. When you practice this interruption for 21 days, you'll not only balance your solar plexus energy but develop the badass confidence that comes from trustworthy self-relationship.
