What if the “perfect” life you’ve been building - the career, the marriage, the house, the family - isn’t actually your life at all? And then you suddenly realise you never actually wanted any of that? In this very raw, honest, heart-wide-open convo emotional alchemy mentor Fay Varsos shares her tumultuous journey of leaving behind decades of cultural conditioning, massive success, a picture-perfect wedding and a 25-year corporate career… all to finally fully start living life on her terms. We get deep into… ✨ The heavy “shoulds” she inherited from her traditional upbringing, and how they directed her onto a path in business and away from her true artistic self ✨ The toll of emotional suppression, and how it shows up in our bodies, health and relationships ✨ The importance of asking “How do I want to feel?” rather than “What should I do?” ✨ The powerful process of emotional alchemy: feeling, naming and releasing emotions without bypassing or forcing positivity ✨ How shame and old stories keep us stuck in low frequency states of guilt, fear and shame ✨ How to elevate our energetic and emotional frequencies to meet our highest potential ✨ Navigating upheaval and loss, and learning how to embrace and even love uncertainty Fay’s wisdom is exactly the encouragement we all need to meet ourselves with the greatest honesty, vulnerability and courage, no matter what we’re going through. And to remember that on the other side of whatever pain we’re currently feeling, once we’ve alchemised it, is the greatest freedom we’ll ever know.
