Show Notes

It is always such a joy to chat with Zachi Brewster and this conversation was definitely an eye-opening one. We chat through a load of things but I think the biggest take away for me was thinking through our personal stigmas and societal stigmas. There are some things that we think are okay or not okay for other people, and then we hold ourselves to a different set of expectations. ⁠

Have a listen if you're interested in getting rid of unhelpful stigmas, how to adjust your own thinking and address your own limiting beliefs, and aligning your actions with love.⁠

Episode key takeaways:

  • Always start with why. If you find yourself with a belief you hold about yourself or about others, start with asking why you feel that way or think that. Keep asking why until you understand where that belief stems from.
  • On topics you have stigmas around, try to think back to your first instance or interaction with that topic. Did that interaction give you a sense of fear or love around that topic (hint: it was probably fear)? Assess whether that fear based opinion still serves your highest self or whether it's time to replace it with one of love.
  • As your thoughts, actions, ideas, opinions come up, as yourself if it is stemming from a place of love. Are there conditions around whether something or someone deserves love? See if you can reframe what you find with unconditional love.
