Lisa works with people who learned early on to look for external validation over their internal knowing, and helps them come home to themselves.They explore:Why rumination is actually how we're wired, and how to reprogram itHow your safety as a child depended on adapting to what others told you to beWhy we hit an upper limit and self-sabotage when life gets too goodThis is a conversation about coming back to that little you who knew exactly who you were before someone told you to settle down. When you were a child and you felt into your bigness, your joy, your essence, and somebody said "contain it." Lisa's work is about giving yourself permission to be your big, wild, unique, authentic self again.Connect with Lisa:CreateCalm.orgInstagram: instagram.com/yogatherapywithlisadanahyHer Book, Creating Calm in Your Classroom: https://a.co/d/011ZP0PAReferenced in this Episode:The Yoga Way to Radiance by Shakta Khalsa: https://a.co/d/029XTeXI________________________________________________________________________________________Connect with Wendy:LinkedinInstagram: @wendy.harropFacebook: Phineas Wright HouseWebsite: Phineas Wright House PWH Farm StaysPWH Curated Experience and TravelInterested in being a guest on the show?
