Comfortable In Your Own Skin

Harness Your Intuition for Conscious Living

Welcome to “Unleashing Inner Magic: Harness Your Intuition for Conscious Living,” my newest episode on Comfortable in Your Own Skin podcast. 
Today I explore the value and importance of intuition and trusting our instincts by sharing a stunning story of synchronicity involving my late husband, a song by Coldplay, a conversation at a beach, and an unexpected connection in Dubai.
I guide you on how to tune into the underlying desires lying hidden beneath a more surface level focus and lead you to be true creators of your own reality.
I encourage you to pay closer attention to the signs in your own lives, use your internal guidance system, and step beyond the logical mind into the realm of intuitive thinking. Step into the magical journey of truly being comfortable in your own skin.

A Discussion about Mental Health

On this episode I speak candidly about my experience with mental health, particularly depression and anxiety from two separate occasions in my life. 
I share perspectives on dealing with mental illness, and although I was dealing with extreme personal trauma, I believe my depression was linked to my people-pleasing tendencies, which created an internal turmoil that drove me further into a state of mental instability. I contrast this with my postnatal anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder, which was a result of unresolved trauma, rather than personality traits.
This episode delves into the connection between the ability to accept oneself and one's mental state – how comfort in one's skin can impact mental wellbeing. Driven by a belief that mental illness, in some cases, can be a result of not being able to make choices that are right for oneself, I discuss the need to change this narrative and instead of striving to make choices based on what makes us feel whole and comfortable in our own skin.
I address the potential chaos of conforming to external expectations while sacrificing your personal needs — suggesting it's a harmful path which can lead to mental instability. In the face of these pressures, my message is to reclaim autonomy and to prioritise one's own needs in the journey of self-love and acceptance.
 

Creating a Life on Your Own Terms

Welcome to 'Comfortable in Your Own Skin' podcast, where we together embark on a journey to discover the essence of self-contentment and personal growth. This episode dives into the importance of radical honesty and self-awareness, embracing the twists and turns of our unique paths.
Amidst societal pressure to follow specific paths and attain specific goals, it is crucial to remember that one-size-fits-all solutions may not be suitable for all. We are all diverse beings with distinctively different journeys and understanding that refreshing breath of individuality is paramount to living a life you love.
We are programmed to feel comfortable when living through familiar moulds. However, this episode resonates with the importance of breaking free from preconceived formulas of living, and initiating the shift towards living life on your own terms. It's about asking the vital question - Am I doing this because I truly want to or because someone told me this is how it should be?
Intertwining the concept of energy into life decisions and choices, Andrea highlights the importance of doing what you love - following your heart, your intuition. The more you follow the path that brings you joy, the higher the chances of your world opening to opportunities and experiences, leading to contentment.
Becoming comfortable in our own skin is recognizing that, at the end of the day, each of us needs to write our own life's recipe book. So, tune in to explore how to consciously create a life you love and want, and embrace the joy of living life on your terms.

Men At Work

Where do men go to lean in?How does society truly unshackle from the belief that 'boys don't cry?'Why is it important that we do?In this episode I delve into the complete turn around from working with predominantly women to 100% of my clients being men.Never have I been more honoured than to offer a space for male clients to lean into all that it means to be them and explore all that has taken them away from the truth of who they are.Our men deserve to be seen and heard in their vulnerability just as much as our women are.
