In this episode, Allison is joined by her partner Clay for an honest and introspective conversation about mental well-being, facing insecurities, cultivating more self-awareness and removing the masks we wear to the outer world. We are still very much navigating this territory but wanted to let listeners in on what we have been going through lately.
We share our transformative journeys hitting rock bottom as a pathway to profound healing and growth. When you can’t get any further down on yourself, the only way to go is up. The path to honoring your highest self is illuminated when you feel your emotions, open up about your struggles and take courageous steps towards embracing all facets of your being.
Some of the talking points we cover are journaling as a mental health practice, developing a morning routine to help remain more grounded throughout the day, overcoming people-pleasing tendencies and what was at the root of our depression.
If you find yourself struggling with your mental health, we encourage you to be vulnerable with yourself and your loved ones. This requires feminine traits of self-compassion and listening to your intuition. This also requires embracing masculine traits of strength and courage to take action on getting the help you deserve.
Balancing masculine and feminine energies involves recognizing and integrating both sets of qualities into your life. It's about understanding that everyone possesses elements of both energies, regardless of their gender. Finding equilibrium between them can lead to a more well-rounded and holistic approach to decision-making, relationships, and personal growth.
