Episode Bullet Points

In this short solo episode Analisa helps you love on your Little Self. She also opens up the conversation to you, the listeners: is there anyone out there with the research know-how to look at these universal struggles from a social sciences perspective? Topics covered in this episode include:

• Offering one-off 1:1 session in Nov/Dec 2023

• The need for “Little Self” to be witnessed

• The unique wounds of high performers

• Letting go of the need to fix

• Loving the part of yourself that wants love

Episode Summary

This week’s solo episode is a powerful exploration of an expansive question: what if your human aspects (fear, self-doubt, anxiety) aren’t a problem to be fixed? Analisa brings her wild and silliest self to guiding you through choosing to love those Little Self expressions. This episode can be used as a meditative guide to finding that love for yourself. There is also a beautiful meta thread of how Analisa chooses to share and create the podcast itself.
