Episode 137: Keep Goin, Keep Growing Despite It Being Uncomfortable with Jenna Allen
One of the scarier things about growing up and making profound changes is the mess we must deal with as soon as we put one foot out of our comfort zone. We know we need the change, and it'll be good for us, yet unconsciously (and maybe innocently), we think changing will make things easier, all butterflies, rainbows, and flowers' scent.
Accepting that growth is messy and uncomfortable is foundational for any change we want to produce.
In this episode, I'm thrilled to be joined by the inspiring Jenna Allen to talk about the intimate relationship between profound life changes and mindset. Jenna is a Certified Life Coach specializing in mindset, boundaries, self-awareness, and self-care. After spending almost her entire life "trying to fit in," Jenna drew herself to a labyrinth of alcohol abuse, lack of self-care, codependency, and abusive relationships in which she stayed trapped for years. With proper support, the courage to face the mess of change, and the resilience to endure growth's discomfort, Jenna got her stuff together and retook the reins of her life.
Throughout this episode, Jenna shares her journey into self-development and coaching, the traumatic past that left deep wounds she is still working to heal, and how she got out of her "rock bottom." We also talk about why creating healthy boundaries is crucial for mental health, the messiness of growth, and the challenging task of working on self-awareness.
Additionally, Jenna shares her thoughts on mindset changes, her favorite mindset improvement techniques, manifestation, and much more.
