01: Overcoming Self Doubt and Fear With Anneke
b'
Welcome to my first official episode. I went through 25 different coaching sessions in preparation for this show and trying to decide which one would be first was difficult because all my callers were amazing. I ended up choosing Anneke\\u2019s call because we get into the question \\u201cWho am I?\\u201d and because of the level of vulnerability in this session. We often feel embarrassed and apologize for our emotions, but I think of vulnerability as strength. Remember, we get to choose who we are and not being who we are can be suffocating.\\xa0 We are not defined by other people\\u2019s views of us. We are all born with natural gifts from the divine. It\\u2019s up to us to embrace them and use them. \\xa0 Consider/Ask Yourself:
Who am I?
Do you feel like you are really living authentically?
Are you fully expressing who you are or are you being a version of yourself?
Do you struggle with loneliness?
Are you in touch with your emotions?
Are you concerned about what other people think of you? Anneke\\u2019s Question: Anneke is about to make a big career change and would like to know how to be open and honest about who she really is and to shift from her pattern of keeping herself small and not seen. Anneke\\u2019s Key Insights and Aha\\u2019s:
