Unlock the Power of Community to Blossom

04/13/23 • 24 min

Community! It's such a powerful tool in each of our self-worth journeys.
The truth is, self-worth thrives in community. It helps us remember other people have been (or currently are) right where we've been. Struggling with similar things and experimenting with different ways to move past those struggles.

And let’s be honest, while self-worth is discovered inside of us, sometimes a reminder from fellow journeyers that we are worthy helps us to trust that voice inside saying the same thing.
This is what we're discussing today. The importance of community, how to define community, and maybe most important, how to start creating that community of your dream no matter how brave you're feeling.
Throughout our conversation we'll explore:

The significance of community in shaping your self-worth journey and personal growth.
The power of heart-centered connections for emotional healing and fostering deeper relationships.
Online platforms as alternative spaces to find and engage with supportive communities.
The art of navigating relationships with self-compassion and understanding individual journeys.
Our newest coaching program, Blossom, a transformative experience designed to enhance self-worth through community and connection.

Embracing Compassion to Unlock Self-Awareness

In this episode, Sarah and Sarah discuss how to practice compassionate self-awareness and use it to balance out the negatives with positives.
Compassionate self-awareness is at the center of our wheel of worth - and for good reason! By being honest about ourselves we can better identify our gifts as well as the things we want to improve and areas of growth.
We suggest starting the day with a positive self-reflection, accompanied by compassion, and talking to your body in moments of anxiety. Through connecting with oneself, you have the ability to not only understand the world on a more meaningful level, but to make conscious choices about how to act moving forward.
We end with a homework assignment to help you become more self-accepting. Think of one thing you love about yourself, one thing you are good at, and one thing you bring to the world. Write it down, and share if you're feeling brave. If it is too difficult, start small! Ask for help from a friend or loved one, to show how we can lift each other up in community.
Throughout, we invite you to explore:
1. What if we added compassion to self-awareness?
2. How can we balance the negative thoughts in our minds with the positives?
3. How can having self awareness benefit not only ourselves, but our communities?

Discovering Your Beauty Through the Lens with Jen Dean

How we feel about how we look plays such a huge role in our lives. It's inevitable in our culture. From a very young age we start questioning our appearances. One study reports that at age thirteen, 53% of American girls are “unhappy with their bodies.” This grows to 78% by the time girls reach seventeen.

And it doesn’t necessarily improve as we get older. When we talk about our relationships with our bodies, most women immediately go to their relationship with how their bodies look.

On today’s podcast, we’re talking with photographer Jen Dean. Jen is so much more than a photographer. She’s a storyteller, a guide, and a healer in the journey of self-embodiment. Jen shares with us how photography has always been a part of her life, and more importantly, its impact on her personal journey and how she helps others see their beauty.
Throughout our conversation we'll explore:

Photography as a tool for self-acceptance and self-love.
The significance of feeling good about ourselves and how it can change how we move in the world.
Photography as a form of storytelling that helps people connect with each other on a deeper level.
The power of changing your beliefs and giving yourself permission to see yourself differently to impact on your confidence and self-acceptance.
