Have you ever wondered why some parts of you feel invisible—even to yourself? Or why certain relationships feel so nourishing while others leave you drained? In today’s episode, we’re diving into the Johari Window: a powerful self-awareness tool that helps you understand what you show the world, what you keep hidden, what others see in you, and what’s still waiting to be discovered.

This framework isn't just about insight—it’s about empowerment. When you learn to explore your blind spots and own your brilliance, you stop shrinking to fit and start standing in your full light. Let’s walk through the four windows of self-awareness and learn how to open up to deeper connection, authenticity, and healing.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• The 4 quadrants of the Johari Window and how they shape your self-perception
• Why blind spots aren't flaws—they're invitations
• How to gently reveal your “hidden self” without fear or shame
• Ways to explore the “unknown self” and step into your full potential
• How this model can improve your relationships, boundaries, and emotional clarity

Challenge for the Week

Choose one trusted person and take turns sharing your answers to the following questions:

What is one thing you are celebrating right now?

What are you working on?

How can I help?

These three questions can deepen your connection with each other while increasing self awareness.

Have you ever known deep down what the right decision was—but still found yourself analyzing it to death?

Whether it’s a relationship, job, or life decision, intuitive people—especially empaths—often get stuck in their heads, trying to logic their way through emotions. In this episode, we’re diving into why that happens, how it disconnects you from your authentic self, and what you can do to break free from the cycle of overthinking and step back into trust.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

💡 Why intuitive people are especially prone to overthinking
💡 The difference between logical reasoning and inner knowing
💡 How ignoring your intuition can lead to decision paralysis and burnout
💡 Practical tools to clear mental clutter and reconnect to your intuition
💡 How to tell what’s your energy and what’s someone else’s
💡 The role of ego in blocking intuitive wisdom
💡 A personal story about trusting logic over intuition—and the consequences

Challenge for the Week:
This week, notice when you’re overthinking a situation. Pause and ask yourself:

-Is this my intuition speaking… or my fear?
-Am I tuning into my own feelings, or someone else’s energy?
-What would it feel like to just trust my inner knowing right now?

Journaling, meditation, and energy clearing can help you get clarity. Try the mantra: “What’s mine is mine. What’s yours is yours.”

Work With Me:
If you're stuck in the loop of overthinking and second-guessing your intuition, you're not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out alone either. I’d love to support you. Let’s hop on a call to see how my coaching tools can help you reconnect with your intuitive wisdom and start making aligned decisions with confidence.

Healing the Fixer, the Controller, and the Victim: Trying On New Roles for Growth

Sometimes the roles we’ve played in order to survive—like the fixer, the controller, or the victim—become so familiar that we mistake them for who we truly are. But what if those identities were never you? What if they were just survival strategies… and it’s finally safe to take them off?

Today we explore how to recognize when these old roles are at play and how to shift into new, healing identities that support your growth and relationships. You’ll learn how to try on new ways of being like the accountability coach, the curious collaborator, and the hero—roles that are empowering, connected, and aligned with your healing.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• How to identify the “fixer,” “controller,” and “victim” roles when they show up in your life
• Why these identities often develop as a way to create safety in unsafe environments
• How to shift from the fixer to the accountability coach—supporting without enabling
• How to transform from the controller into the curious collaborator—inviting trust and flexibility
• How to evolve from the victim into the hero—finding your power through choice
• Questions to help you reflect on which roles you tend to wear and what it’s time to release

Challenge for the Week:
Notice when one of your old roles starts to take over—like the fixer jumping in to solve something that isn’t yours to fix. Pause. Ask yourself: “What would it feel like to choose a new identity here?” Then take one small step into a healing role, even if it feels unfamiliar.
