Cathy Heller: How to Shift From Pushiness Into Presence and Purpose
04/04/24 • 42 min
So many women have juicy and purposeful potential inside them, but because they’re too depleted to see the possibilities, it never sees the light of day.
We tell ourselves that being moms is what’s holding us back. The truth is: not tapping into our potential has nothing to do with our kids, and everything to do with our own emotions.
When we operate from an agitated nervous system, urgency, overwhelm and exhaustion become the norm. When we step out of our spinning minds and shift into presence, the awesome things we’re pushing hard to have will just flow to us.
That way, we’ll never have to choose between the greatest gift in life, and our purpose and contribution to the world.
How do we repair our nervous systems so we can start operating from a place of calm and wholeness? Can we unearth our purpose by doing less?
In this episode, I’m joined by top ranked podcast host, 8 figure spiritual and business coach, and author of the upcoming book “Abundant Ever After”, Cathy Heller. She shares how moms can design lives filled with purpose, peace and presence.
When your nervous system is agitated, you will keep making lists, feeling depleted and doing everything for everyone. When you repair it, you can find peace, calm and start feeling a sense of wholeness. -Cathy Heller
3 Things You’ll Learn in This Episode
-Doing everything for everyone is selfish
Many women put too much on their plates because we think it’s generous and loving. Are we actually stealing something valuable from people when we do that?
-Don’t do more, be more
How do we stop being forceful and pushy about getting what we want and learn to let it flow to us effortlessly?
-What happens when our cups are filled
We often think pouring all our energy into our kids is the key to their happiness. Do they actually benefit more from us living in our purpose and feeling seen in our own right?
