Good evening lovely people, I’ve got some great news which is that a new shiny podcast episode is now available on Know Yourself! I loved the interview Alicia and I did together, after talking I genuinely went away and looked at my life at lot differently than I had before. I realised that authenticity is a large part of being accepting with yourself and happy with yourself. . These are lovely words but what do they mean? Alicia talks about eating candy bars in the morning, piled up clothes where the washing basket used to be, mouldy bread in the fridge. Sometimes we don’t have it all together, and that’s ok. I got such comfort out of hearing that, it’s not an excuse to brush things off, rather a way of living that accepts sometimes there are more important things and that sometimes we might not always have our stuff together! ☺️ . It’s funny because authenticity allows our true selves to shine through too, how awesome would it be for example if you met the love of your life and you could be your quirky, geeky, strange, different, and unique self with that person because you check out on judging yourself at the door.🤔 . The thing I love about Alicia is that she brings such a real world view to therapy, gives everybody a chance no matter what walk of life they come from, and is pragmatic combined with compassion. I’ll never forget the conversation I had with Alicia because it made me a better podcaster, a better person, and a more comfortable with myself 😍 . Working at a crisis centre is tough and Alicia explains some of her journey in today’s episode - check it out at anchor.fm/knowyourself - Apple Podcasts - Spotify - Google Play music - and more!
