In this episode, Amal receives guidance from her self-love coach, Lisa Desberg.

Lisa helps Amal get vulnerable and honest about her need to set boundaries with herself and to give herself grace.

Amal talks openly about her addiction to achieving and how it can still make her feel overwhelmed, even after 10 years of personal growth work.

With the release of her debut book, client work, book signings and time spent on creating her new digital course, Amal decides that pressing pause on her podcast is a must. However, she struggles with not doing everything, so talking it through with Lisa offers her the clarity she needs to feel okay about that decision.

This episode is a reminder of how sitting with our emotions is important, but then we must unpack those emotions and ask ourselves:

Why am I feeling this way?
Have I felt this way before?
Where is this coming from?

Thinking about those questions and answers with curiosity and not judgement will allow us to operate from a place of love and respect for ourselves.
