Your Ultimate Comeback

EP 61: Self-Talk, Identity, and Letting Go of What Doesn’t Serve You.

Brad Davidson & Raquel Perry Season 1 Episode 61

Welcome to Episode 61 of Your Ultimate Comeback!  In this episode, co-hosts Brad Davidson and Raquel Perry discuss the emotional rollercoaster that often accompanies the start of a new year. They share personal anecdotes about their own experiences with resolutions and the struggles that come with them. Brad highlights the importance of understanding that it's okay to let go of things that no longer serve us, a concept inspired by Mel Robbins' Let Them Theory. This theory encourages us to release the need for validation from others and to focus on our own happiness. Raquel adds her perspective on how the post-holiday blues can affect motivation levels, leading to feelings of angst and irritability. They also touch on the significance of self-talk and how our inner dialogue shapes our mindset. The conversation shifts to the importance of surrounding ourselves with people who see us for who we are, rather than just our accomplishments. Brad shares a profound moment with his son, Gavin, who expressed the desire to be seen as more than just a football player. This leads to a discussion about identity and the pressure to conform to societal expectations. The episode wraps up with a reminder that personal growth is a journey, and it's essential to be kind to ourselves along the way. Whether you're struggling with your resolutions or simply looking for inspiration, this episode offers valuable insights and encouragement to keep pushing forward. Remember, it's never too late to make a change and pursue the life you desire!
