129. WE'RE BACK!! The Climb to Self-Alignment and Beyond - a recap of 2023 & a look forward for the pod in 2024

Beyond Your Limits with Dr. Christine Jehu

WE'RE BACK!! Wowzers this episode was unexpectedly emotional. I open up about 2023 more of what has been going on behind the scenes personally that put the show on an unexpected pause.
I haven't shared much, if at all, about my divorce on the show. I'm sharing some of that and the pain that worked to steer me onto a path of self-reclamation and passion rekindling. This episode isn't just a narrative of my past year's trials and triumphs—it's a heartfelt conversation about respecting the sanctity of privacy in tender times, the truth depression, and the necessity of carving out a sanctuary for oneself.
Turning a new leaf often involves confronting our deeply held beliefs about success and self-worth. The 29029 event this year taught me that the summit isn't always what defines us—it's the climb that truly matters. Bringing back my nickname 'CJ' was a powerful step towards aligning with my true self. In this candid session, I discuss the significant emotional shifts that come with this realignment, the vital role of therapy for high-functioning individuals, and why recognizing our value beyond our achievements is a transformative insight.
I share the healing power of corrective emotional experiences within the therapeutic space and how an unexpected new relationship has taught me to navigate the confluence of joy and pain. Sharing of the evolution from merely surviving to living fully and now, towards thriving. I invite you to embrace the excitement of setting boundaries and balancing a vibrant life. And to cap it off, there's anticipation in the air with a top-secret project underway that promises to add another layer to our collective journey towards a life without limitations.

6. What would it look like for you to take a step or two beyond those limits this year?
