Ep. 83: *BEST OF THE PODCAST* You’re Imperfect, Life is Messy, Show Up Anyway with Krista O'Reilly-Davi-Digui
Krista O'Reilly-Davi-Digui works as a writer & Joyful Living Educator. Her mission is to help messy humans like herself quiet the noise of perfectionism, comparison and fear and show up fully - with joy and on purpose - to their imperfect and beautiful lives, in every season.
In this episode, we discuss:
· How to better understand your sensitivity and see that there is beauty in it.
· The importance of fully accepting ourselves, including the mess, pain, and discomfort that comes with growth.
· Perfectionism and the different ways it can show up.
· How our struggles are actually tied in with our strengths.
· Using curiosity vs. judgment to see how nothing is inherently “bad.”
· How our different traits live on a spectrum of healthy vs. unhealthy and the importance of being aware of that.
· How being deeply rooted in self-awareness and self-compassion can help us stay grounded when we move along those spectrums.
· The difference and relationship between self-compassion, self-esteem, and self-worth.
· How self-compassion involves allowing all the emotions and all the messy parts of life.
· And the power of both/and instead of either/or.
