In today’s fast-paced world, many women find themselves trapped in a cycle of overworking and feeling unfulfilled, struggling to juggle the demands of their professional lives with their personal ambitions and dreams.
It’s a common narrative, one that resonates deeply with women who feel they’ve lost a part of themselves amidst their hectic schedules.
This blog post accompanied by a recent podcast episode from the Art Of Self Mastery Podcast is dedicated to you – the overworked and unfulfilled woman – and offers a beacon of hope through the transparent journey of self-discovery shared by Sasha Ruffin, a Digital Creator and primary financial provider in in her conversation with life coach Sonja Thompkins.
The Call to Embark on Your Journey Back
For many, the realization that change is necessary comes at a critical juncture – a moment of deep personal crisis or sheer exhaustion from the daily grind.
Sasha’s story begins in a familiar place: a sense of rock bottom, where the life she was leading no longer aligned with the one she yearned for. It’s a place many of us have visited – feeling lost, disconnected, and yearning for something more. If this resonates with you, it’s time to take the first step towards transforming your life.
Discovering Your True Self
My interactions with Sasha wasn’t just about finding quick fixes to business problems or personal dilemmas; it was a deep dive into understanding who she truly was beneath all the roles and responsibilities she bears.
Through science-backed exercises that encouraged self-reflection and most importantly self acceptance, I began to guiding Sasha in peeling back the layers of her identity, so that she could connect with the core of her being.
One profound exercise that I teach involves you identifying qualities that you admire in your loved ones. Specifically those things that are unique to them. This does. two things. It allows you to recognize how you value people and what that looks like.
Does that match how you show up in hopes of being valued by others?
For Sasha this led to the first of her many breakthrough realizations: that being authentically herself is enough to attract love and respect from others in the online space, her relationships, and potential clients. This simple shift in her perspective helped her to stop overworking and overthinking out of fear she wasn’t valued enough.
Embrace Your Journey, Not Just The Destination You Desire
Your story may be similar to Sasha’s. Her story is a testament to the idea that transformation is not just about reaching a new way of thinking but creating new habits. With my guidance, she learned to appreciate her progress, celebrate her growth, and understand that every step forward was a part of her evolution.
This shift in perspective is crucial for anyone feeling stuck or overwhelmed by the pressure to achieve specific outcomes. Life is an ongoing journey of discovery, and each experience, whether perceived as positive or negative, contributes to your growth.
