In this excerpt from Season 2 #fearlesslycuriouspodcast I'm sharing a clip from a Private Coaching Session with a client who's revamping their online presence as we build together the framework for their new entrepreneurial journey.
In this clip my client shares their internal struggle with self-doubt and fear of judgment in life especially when posting on social media.
The importance of authenticity and self-expression is emphasized. I encourage my client to post content that brings joy rather than conforming to social expectations.
I suggest how to deal with negative self-talk, such as acknowledging and logging doubts to understand and overcome them.
Human design is introduced as a tool to understand your unique traits and to use this knowledge to navigate social media with confidence and a sense of direction. I encourage you to embrace your individuality, dismiss the fear of not being good enough, and to post content that genuinely represents YOU, turning the act of sharing into a joyful and empowering practice.
In every coaching session, the aim is not just to share and discuss but to suggest strategies for clients to honour their needs in this case to be seen and recognised for their authenticity.
After all what makes your business and you stand out in a sea of compeition is what no one can compete with - your Unique personality and vision.Resources:

Season 2 #fearlesslycuriouspodcast kicks off with a clip from a real Conscious Parenting Coaching Session where I address the situation of a child choosing NOT to communicate with an authority figure, and the parent's role in managing this situation.
I present an opportunity for the parents to recognise their child's consistent decisions to assert her boundaries as qualities in her developing character to be admired.
Their child is clear on their needs, has the ability to express them, is consistently & confidently showing up in their decisions showing strong boundaries.
We discuss how parents can support their children while maintaining safe and legal practices and the importance of open dialogues and understanding the perspectives of both the parents and the child.
I highlight to the parents the importance of being open to expressing to their child that they are figuring things out, doing the best they can with what they know as they go along and sometimes parents don’t make the best decisions.
At the end of the day they are in this together and as long as together they stand strong with a forward view on refining and improving then any errors can be resolved with loving kindness and compassion
In every coaching session, the aim is not just to share and discuss but to suggest strategies for parents to honour their children's unique needs, in this case upholding boundaries, while fulfilling their legal obligations and responsibilities.
