"Trust is being able to trust in the feeling & inner knowing rather than needing proof or evidence to show you."
I am so excited to bring you this deeply nourishing and delicious conversation with Connie Chapman. I've been following Connie for years and it's such a pleasure to share her with you today.
This episode is all about how to start leading from your heart and inner wisdom and surrendering the mind, the rational brain, and the ego over to your true north and inner guiding compass. This is a personal practice that I've been consciously exploring and Connie is my all-time favorite teacher to learn from.
When you are living from your head it's all about meeting goals, doing what other people want, making others happy, being a success and getting validation. When you steer from your heart, it's all about what feels good for you, awakening your inner guidance, and tuning into what makes you come alive.
As Connie shares, "we usually don't question something until it stops working for us." For me, that was certainly leading with my rational mind and ignoring my heart. And in this conversation we talk about the moment when it all shifted. Connie dishes out so many practical, implementable tips for slowing down, making space to hear your inner wisdom, and how to find that voice and expand this practice.
This conversation is so grounding and if you feel called to come back home to yourself, then tune in. Connie has divine wisdom to share with you and how you can live a more heart-centered juicy life.
