Summary of Episode:
Jenn speaks to Spaniard, Steffi Lopez Gonzalez from Your Life Your Playground a life coach, mentor, speaker, pilates and yoga instructor currently based out of Hong Kong about letting go of old narratives and meanings we attach to the things that happen in our lives to create an empowered version of ourselves. Steffi shares her own struggles with her insecurities and fear of failure from a young age. How her own mindfulness practice allowed her to recognize the beauty of understanding how to shape our own narratives of our life. She talks about how to detach the idea that we are our mind, feelings, thoughts and ego and the importance of being curious to what shows up in our mind.
I think humans do not stop reflecting or observing or watching our thought or mind unless we are struggling. So, the tendencies, unless we struggle or we go through a difficulty, we don't tend to reflect or watch and observe our thoughts in what we are doing within our minds.
