64. Ditching The Mask and Living Boldly Authentic with Coach Kristin Taylor

When it comes to your journey with mental health, there is one component that always gets the ball rolling: acceptance. When we live in denial or resist what is disturbing us, it only prolongs our suffering and, most times takes a toll on our self-image. So, if you’re looking for a way to overcome your struggles and be your true self every day, this episode is for you.

Welcome back to Warriors Unmasked! Today we sit down with life and executive coach and mental health advocate Kristin Taylor. Join us as Kristin talks about her journey from growing up as a hyper-sensitive kid with anxiety-induced tummy issues to learning self-love and compassion, allowing her to live her life boldly and authentically.

Kristin talks about the signs of hyper-sensitivity, how it manifests in kids and adults, and how you can support those struggling with it. Listen in as we talk about committing fully to living authentically, taking responsibility for the hard things in your life, and why one of the best things you can do for yourself is just to give yourself some love. Now, we know, the journey to healing is not an easy path, but when you hit play, you’ll hear just what’s on the other side of your ‘yes’.

Kristin’s story is an incredible example of what perseverance, courage, and focusing on mental health can do in your life.
