Whattttt upppp, welcome back to episode 5 of the Consciously Unbecoming Podcast where we are getting to core of our self.

Taking a look at all of the beliefs that have been thrust upon us and deciding, is this a belief about myself, about others, about the world, that I want or do I need to relearn this belief and see it through my own lens.

Most of our beliefs, we didn't choose:

  • They were just there.
  • Inherited from our families, our ancestors, our upbringing, the neighborhoods we grew up in, our religions, society, the states, the countries, we live in.
    • There are so many sets of social standards within each of those things that I just mentioned.
    • It’s uncomfortable to take our masks off that have forced us to conform to all of those societal standard.
    • For some of us, its’ so uncomfortable, we go our entire lives never truly leaning into our identities. Never truly embracing who we are. Never truly speaking out loud to the world and saying THIS IS WHO I AM.
    • What’s worst than stepping outside of those norms, and removing the mask, is staying hidden, keeping a piece of yourself hidden, denying who you are, to fit a BS standard.
    • We get to change our minds about the direction our lives are headed. We get to course correct. We get to step back and decide who we are in the season of life we are in. There’s no set path.

Texts from last night:

Today we are going to see where this conversation takes us but, Lisa, I wanted to touch on something we were texting about last night because I think it pertains to the ultimate theme of this episode which is addiction.

  • Energy shifts in the lunar cycle
  • Setting intentions
  • I am a big believer in energy. I believe the moon controls A LOT of energy. And, that when ppl mention they are setting their intentions for this full moon cycle, or the new moon cycle, it’s not some BS thing. It’s science, bebe.

Addiction:

  • Addiction to chaos
  • Addiction to numbing our feelings
  • Addiction to work
  • Addiction to the pursuit of something, someone, MPRE
  • Addiction to being better

We as a society have to DO instead of simply just being!

ENJOY,
Jess and Lisa
