"Positive feelings come from being honest about yourself and accepting your personality, and physical characteristics, warts and all, and, from belonging to a family that accepts you without question."– Willard ScottIn episode 16, Feel the Feels with Connie Anne Holman, Elaina is joined by a licensed therapist and life coach, Connie Anne Holman, and they discuss how to allow yourself to feel whatever you're feeling without judgment and the importance of not suppressing your feelings.They took a deep dive into what it means not to judge your feelings or to label them as good or bad or right or wrong. They discussed how to get to a place of self-acceptance and self-compassion. Connie shares many strategies and insights she has implemented along her journey to get to a place of self-love and self-appreciation.Connie shared her meaning of being a heart-centered coach, there's a lot of things that we use, experience, disappointment, rejection, let downs, heartbreak. Just different things that affect us. And then that, in turn, affects our thoughts and affects our thinking. But I believe that a lot of what we do, a lot of what drives our behavior happens in the heart.Elaina discussed her emotional roller coaster since being quarantined, I have gone through many highs and lows, some that I didn't even anticipate. I feel like I'm not allowed to feel bad or have a negative feeling.Connie shared when you just sit in the feeling when you sit in your sadness when you sit in your disappointment, and you sit in your letdowns, and you let the feeling kind of evolve and explore it you'll find that the feeling will pass way more quickly than you trying to force it to pass.As the conversation evolved, they also discussed the pressure many of us as mothers place on ourselves by comparing ourselves to other mothers. Elaina and Connie explore the pitfalls comparing our "lowlight reel" to someone else's "highlight reel."TranscriptConnie Anne HolmanInstagram | https://www.instagram.com/connieanneholmancoaching/Website | https://www.connieanneholman.com/Work from Home Course Bundle | https://workfromhome.podia.com/bundle/t71hn?coupon=SPECIALResources, Connect and SubscribeFind Support | https://copequeens.com/find-support/Listen | https://copequeens.com/episodes/Subscribe | https://plnk.to/copequeensFacebook | https://www.facebook.com/copequeenspodcast/Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/copequeenspodcast/Twitter | https://twitter.com/copequeensSupport the show (http://paypal.me/copequeens)
