-With love- Naketa Ren Thigpen, Balance (and) Relationship Advisor ♾️💜💋

When you’re ready to shift from the edge of overachievement mode to embrace a little more lazy by accessing calm and self-compassion, it can be challenging to get our mind + body out of that high adrenaline state. For some, it’s extra hard because you know the quieting that comes with stillness can evoke feelings in your body that make you feel unsafe.

It’s why many people lean into statements or mantras that justify their “ability” to do so many things and rebuke the notion that they need moments to slow down and relax a bit. Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy, a potent human and valued leader as a Happiness & Transformational Mindset Coach for dentist and doctors, shares her personal journey, insights, and expertise to the table as she encourages you to create safety so you can be still when you need and choose to be.

Time Stamps:

00:00 Healers who do their own healing work make the biggest impact.

04:58 Reimagining P.U.S.H as a tool: “positive use of skills for healing.”

09:45 Emphasizing the importance of balance and self-care.

10:57 Why we want safety, not more hustle energy.

14:45 What to do when you’re feeling overwhelmed and tearful after blocking time.

20:32 Urgent moments require calm to make better decisions.

23:28 Polyvagal theory explains how vocalizing releases emotion.

25:39 Permission to rest empowers growth, not weakness.

29:33 Embrace calm-centered power in your life.

31:05 How self-sabotage is a barrier to reflection and collaboration.

34:27 Balancing rest and dominance for impactful decisions.

39:14 Change your morning routine to switch from stress to calm.

42:33 Another reason to embrace laziness.
