Guest Host Tara Leduc: Are You Abandoning Yourself?

Changing the World Peace by Peace
Guest Host Tara LeDuc

Abandonment is not something that happens to us, it’s something we do to ourselves.  It’s the subtle ways we end up abandoning ourselves, dimming our light, softening our tone, giving up our to muchness for getting along and making things easier.

When everything I have to juggle comes together it feels like a soup.
Over time I let my Self Care go. I felt shamed taking time away from my responsibilities, my husband & family.

What’s happening to my meditation practice & everything else?
What am I afraid of?  I’m afraid of my business being so successful that my husband is not going to approve and he will leave me.

I have been putting away my needs so in a way I have been abandoning myself in favor of my husband. Abandoning what I want to do for my business in favor of being afraid of being abandoned by my husband.

I haven’t been feeling myself for the last six months, maybe it’s been a year or two or five..  I’ve been feeling heavier, less likely to go on the retreat, travel, to an awesome conference because I’m afraid of “What am I going to come back to.”

I have been abandoning myself bit by bit for really quite a while. It wasn’t because he asked me to, it’s because I felt like it would lower the conflict in my relationship and ultimately he wouldn’t abandon me.

I am diminished, I can feel my flame getting smaller and smaller and in danger of getting snuffed out.

The question is, Have I gotten to the point where I am ready to elevate myself where I can commit to me?

We are going to Lean In to meditation.
Meditation is like going to a spiritual gym.

(Tara Leads 10 Minute Guided Mediation) 

You are already perfect even in your imperfections.
You super awesome.
Find your way back to you.

  • Are you bumping into any of these problems my clients have?: 1. You don’t like to be consistent. Sure, you want to be, but it’s exhausting. It’s fun to show up when it’s fun, and it’s definitely not fun when not. 2. You have some fear around growing and getting better and what demands success will have on you. If so, I want to share something I am formulating with you. This is something simple you might not have thought about to help with these problems. It’s a path that helps you map out your offerings and get aligned and I’m sharing the whole thing on the podcast now. Plus, I am giving you a super secret tip at the end of describing the path. So take a listen (link in bio!) and if this path is something you think you can use to help you as well I’d love to know!
  • "[Allison] has this gentle way of encouraging, that makes me take action, as opposed to rebelling against an authoritarian bark of a command!" 💛 Thank you for your podcast reviews! I hear you on the rebellion part- embrace who you are, embrace your magic, and then find your action! If this type of thing sounds interesting to you too, check out my new episodes of the #BetterLifeBetterWork Show (link in bio) and leave a review if you are enjoying it!
  • @billy_flan s book is leaving on a jet plane to Australia! Do you have your copy of Hollywood, Texas? Grab it now! Thanks @tiffanyjanescott for sharing your cute face and a copy of the book. Can’t wait to hear why you think.
  • You may know by now that inside Soul-Full Success (my live coaching membership) we have fabulous weekly calls where we share all things life and biz. Well recently we talked about 3 big lessons I want to share with you. And while you look at these 3 lessons, I want you to think of the answers you would hold for yourself: 1. Identity – does your identity as a business owner match up with how you are believing, thinking, and doing? What could be more aligned? How do you know? 2. Knowing Your 3 – I’ve talked about this before, but what are your 3 front facing activities that keep you connected to your people and business? What isn't just another task, but one that fills you, one that connects you, one that can always bring you back to where you need to be? 3. Investing in Implementation – it’s easy for us to continue buying courses, coaches and formulas, but I challenge you to invest in actual implementation. For me that was assistance with marketing and weekly tasks. What would that look like in your business? I dive into these ideas deeper in a podcast episode from a few weeks ago ("3 Lessons from a Soulie Biz Coaching Session"- link in bio to the podcast), but these questions can get you started. And if you do ponder these questions and have some answers or insights, I'd love to hear them below!
  • This week I want to acknowledge that we all face difficult times, even as leaders. And in my work I’ve been lucky to gather some insights and advice from leaders around me about how we can navigate these difficult times. Because I think we live in a culture that expresses that leaders should have their shit together. They we should hide our emotions, toughen up, have a stiff upper lip, yadda, yadda, yadda. But this isn’t how Soul-Full leaders navigate these difficult times. So I want to share the insights I’ve learned about what Soul-Full leaders really do when they are facing something difficult and share some real stories to show you. I hope this helps you notice some of the bullshit our society tells us leaders have to be and helps you see how you can be your own, perfectly imperfect version of a leader. And if this episode resonates with you (link in bio), I’d love to know!
  • Do you know your 3 things? Your three things is a concept I came up with to help us all when we are feeling stressed and overwhelmed. You know the days and times when you just stall out. Where you want to go into your cocoon. Where you are possibly in a traumatic stress response and unsure what to do to move forward. Those are the times that you can turn to your three things. Your three things are the things that when you don't know what else to do, if you do one of them, it will help get you going. These are things outside of regular self care, these aren't you habitual go-tos like meditation and journaling, they're the BIG 3. So for me, my 3 things are: 1. Find someone to love and serve. 2. Get face to face with another human being. 3. Go Live with you all. If I am overwhelmed or don't know what to do, all I have to do is one of those 3 things and it starts the transformation in me. So I want to invite you to think for yourself what your three things are. What can be your go-to actions to help you when you need it most?
