47. TAKE OWNERSHIP AND RESPONSIBILITY OF YOUR LIFE
what it means to be responsible for yourself, responsible for your life, responsible for your emotions, for your trauma, for your childhood, for re-parenting, responsibility at all angles.
And when we take this ownership of our own responsibility of our life, a lot of things start to fall away of different reasons that we can list that are excuses of why it is the way that we are or why our life has led this path or why we've made these decisions or why this person made us do this thing or why we didn't do something that we wanted to do in our life.
Where do you need to take responsibility of your life? and how can this change your life? xx Erica

46. STOP MINIMIZING YOUR EXPLORATIONS, PASSIONS, & INTERESTS
These things are, in my opinion, the most important things that exists in your life right now.
YOUR SOUL IS ENCODED FOR A PROFOUND PURPOSE... the challenge is first, will you allow yourself to explore what it is?
stop minimizing and thinking the things you are interested in are silly - bc those silly things may be your whole reason for existence in this incarnation.

45. DANCE CLASS?? GET TO KNOW THE HIDDEN PARTS OF YOURSELF
DANCE CLASS???? LIKE WHAAAATTT??? I never took dance as a kid nor have I spent much time in a group exercise class haha. i was all about the lifting, running structure of like move for purpose. the past few weeks i have been trying something NEW and it has been dip hop dance classes.... let me tell you i've been learning soooo much about myself from this. ooooff.
As we know...doing things differently helps us shift, grow, & break the grooves of old patterns. and naturally i teach this all of the time of a way to really get to know the parts of yourself that are hidden, subconscious, or what is our soul self. the only way to get to know these parts is getting to know them!! haha. my favorite way is to growth & development is through DISCOVERY & FUN... so this class is unlocking just that for me.
I explain in this episode how breakdown to self discovery is a continuous process that you evolve through. hip hop dance class has been my new uncomfortable, self discovery tool to help me break through to the next version of me. listen in to get ideas of what your next tool can be! xx Erica
