Lauren Patterson Why her daughter saved her life

Happy Thursday!In this week's ep I chat about why we should never settle for anything less than we deserve in every area of our life.I discuss the reasons we could be settling, why it's important to delve into the why behind thinking we don't deserve any better, I ask you to challenge the patriarchal bullshit that has us believing we as women are the problem because we're too picky and therefore should lower our standards, what happens when we accept mediocrity as the benchmark of which we live our life, I tell my own stories of settling and how that impacted me, the role self worth plays in settling, and I also pass on some practical advice to help you work out if you're accepting less than you deserve.I'm pretty passionate about this one because I have so many women messaging me who are so sick and tired of being alone, they're desperate to settle for the next thing that comes along that's "good enough" and it always makes me so sad.We are all worthy of a life that fills us with heart-expanding joy, alignment, love and purpose and anything less than that will sentence our soul to suffer a slow death.

Happy Thursday!For this week's episode, I discuss patterns, using my own example of something that happened to me recently where I watched my old-programmed patterning play out in front of my eyes.We all have a programmed set of beliefs and responses, shaped by conditioning, traumas, past experiences. The question is whether they are useful or are they holding you back from reaching your potential? Have you outgrown what once served you? Are you ready to be released from their grip hold and usher in a new way of thinking, responding and therefore living?I chat about what patterns are, where they come from, their purpose, how they can keep us trapped, getting curious about our individual programming, tapping into our higher self/inner knowing, a useful mantra and strategies to become aware of your patterning and let them go.With all this kind of stuff, I'm no professional, I'm just sharing my experience in the hope it'll be helpful for you too. So please, consult a therapist if you've got questions or need some assistance.

This is a VERY special edition of The Midweek Squeeze because it's my 30th birthday today!I LOVE my birthday because it's filled with so much love and family and friends and good food and fun times.But with each birthday, and particularly a milestone like this one, I tend to get super reflective and use it to re-evaluate what's changed since this time last year, unpack what I've learnt, how I've grown, and ultimately how I want to feel, achieve, call into my life the next time my birthday rolls around.To mark the occasion, and as a form of catharsis for me, I thought I'd collate the 30 main lessons I've learnt during my 3 decades on earth. Of course, this list is evolving, and there are probably way more I could've included, but I guess they'll have to wait until the 40 lessons I've learnt by the time I'm 40 edition.I hope you get something out of this one!Connect with me @elizabethanileLemonade now has its own Instagram account chock-a-block full of self love inspo - follow here!Your support of Lemonade helps it grow and allows me to spend time finding awesome guests to share with you.

The Midweek Squeeze 30 lessons I've learnt by the age of 30

For as long as comedian Bianka Thompson can remember, alcohol was a constant in her life.But what was once a way to unwind and have a good time escalated to the point she was spending half her waking life drinking and the other half thinking about the next time she could get wasted.In Bianka’s mind, there was nothing wrong with her excessive alcohol consumption. She was young, fun, enjoying her life, everyone drinks, it’s the Australian thing to do, there was no harm in it. Or was there?Bianka’s wake up call came when she realised the severe affect it was having on her marriage, her health, and ultimately, her life.Now 10 months sober, and feeling happier and healthier than ever before, she’s made it her life mission to help open the eyes of other young Australian men and women, duped by the alcohol industry into believing we have to drink, and we have to drink hard, to have a good time.Bianka’s experience inspired her to co-host a miniseries as part of her podcast, We Want To Be Better about her relationship with alcohol, how it impacts every facet of our lives, along with interviews with experts in the field.Bianka is a delight - I hope you enjoy this chat.Here she is.Follow Bianka - @itsbiankabitchCheck out Bianka's podcast - We Want To Be BetterThis is the book that Bianka says changed her life - This Naked Mind by Annie GraceConnect with me @elizabethanileLemonade now has its own Instagram account chock-a-block full of self love inspo - follow here!Your support of Lemonade helps it grow and allows me to spend time finding awesome guests to share with you.
