Ep. 12: Building a Life on Soil vs Sand: Overcoming Societal Pressures for a Fulfilling Life

Juicy! The Podcast

What happens when you build your life on sand instead of soil?
In our latest episode, we unravel this compelling metaphor and its implications for your relationships, health, and finances. Olivia shares her journey of feeling nourished and settled after her first summer back in the UK, while Lola celebrates finally experiencing a proper summer after years on hold. We promise that by the end of this episode, you'll have a new perspective on how to cultivate strong foundations for lasting success.
We dive into the urgency culture that tempts us to build on unstable foundations, driven by external validation and societal pressures. Lola recounts her journey of reconnecting with Reiki, an energy healing practice, and how it has enriched her coaching and personal growth. Lola and Olivia reflect on the illusions shattered by early disillusionments and family upheavals, and how these experiences force a reassessment of what truly matters. We discuss the importance of authenticity over conformity, and the ongoing journey of self-improvement, especially for marginalized groups navigating complex health landscapes.
Our conversation also examines the intricacies of relationships, both romantic and professional, comparing them to the quality of soil. From the societal pressure to idolize seemingly perfect relationships to the importance of genuine connections in business, we highlight the value of authenticity and integrity. We delve into the fears of raising children with values that differ from societal norms and the necessity of living authentically to inspire others. Whether you're looking to build a successful business or cultivate fertile ground for future growth, this episode offers rich insights into living a fulfilling and resilient life.
