Building Emotional Resilience

And my trip to Morocco!

Hello friends!

I am back from Morocco and feeling like I am only just getting my energy back after an incredible weekend celebrating two of my best friends in the desert recreating Burning Man Festival! It was a lot of fun! I went to Morocco on my own and honestly I don’t think I could have done that 8 years ago! I wouldn’t have had the confidence to go to a wedding where I only knew a handful of other people and travel on my own. Back then, I didn’t really enjoy meeting new people and I liked staying in my comfort zone. Looking back I can see how much my mindset has shifted. I now love meeting new people and experiencing new experiences.

A weekend I will never forget.

Ok now back to work…

Something I have recently been working on…

I have been working on creating a series of emails to give you a huge amount of free content all around people pleasing and what codependency actually is. The best definition of codependency:

Trying to control, manipulate or fix another persons behaviours, emotions or outcomes.

Read that again! Because it’s something most of us do without even realising it!

• Do you interrupt others to give your input before they can finish a sentence?
• Do you get impacted by other people’s moods?
• Do you take on other people’s emotions?
• Do you try to control others?
• Do you often offer advice without it being asked for?
• Do you say yes when you mean no?

If this is you, I would love for you to take my codependency quiz and then absorb all the free resources I will be giving you over the next couple of months. Disclaimer - I will also be telling you about my Heal the Need to Please workshop and be offering you a big discount.

Heal the Need to Please

A 3 hour online workshop

Recently I have been talking about taking responsibility for others with the women in my group coaching program (which is now closed - doors open Jan 2024) and how this is a sign of codependency.

It’s a complicated topic - why do we tend to feel the need to take responsibility for other people’s feelings and behaviours and outcomes?

Taking responsibility for others doesn’t end up feeling good. We end up feeling overwhelmed, guilty & resentful. There’s a difference between caring for others and being responsible for others.

When the weight of responsibility lies with us it can be due to a couple of things:

1. You had to take responsibility for others when you were younger. Perhaps you had to parent a sibling for example.
2. You were blamed or shamed for things when we were younger. If we were blamed for making mistakes, for doing things “wrong”, for speaking or behaving in the “wrong” way, for not getting good grades etc… the list could be endless… then we feel like we are the reason someone else is upset or angry or frustrated. We then take this into adulthood and take responsibility anytime someone is feeling hurt or low… we have this idea that if we behave in the “right” way, or say the “right” things, then we can make them happy again.

My Heal the Need to Please Workshop is the antidote to taking responsibility for others! This is such a powerful workshop & I have had a huge amount of feedback telling me how this has helped people change their relationship dynamics, get rid of self-blame & shame, and ultimately allowed them to feel a whole lot less of the world on their shoulders.
