86. Flynn Skidmore: Generational Healing + The Fear of Not Reaching Your Potential
Spiralers...what a TREAT!!! We had the lovely Flynn Skidmore join us to have a deeply healing and grounding conversation that soothed generational wounds, the superiority vs. inferiority complex, and the resistance to acceptance. If you are not already familiar with Flynn, he is someone who has been fascinated by the unconscious from an early age which led him to his previous practice as a therapist with extensive training in Internal Family Systems, Neuro Linguistic Programming, and Somatic Experiencing. His primary intention for clients all around the world is to accelerate evolution. By diving deeply into the wounds, friction, and patterning that prevent us from creating momentum, he offers an uncanny ability to bring warmth to the parts of us that we perceive as darkness - freeing up energy to become more creative and loving.
Because Sam personally knows and has worked with Flynn, this conversation felt like 3 friends exploring their parallel perspectives on generational wounds, feeling unseen by a parent, meeting your ego, and how to truly grow and get what you desire from your relationships. Gina shares her own vulnerable experience of feeling unseen by her mother and the impact it has had on her, while Flynn offers a liberating perspective on healing that is counter to what many healers offer these days.
Through this conversation, we all get to be deeply vulnerable and transparent about the ways in which we derived value and self-importance in our lives and the underlying fears and desires behind those behaviors (shadow work!)
But perhaps the most compelling element of this conversation was Flynn's approach to the terrifying fear, "What if I don't reach my potential?" and "Why won't the other person change?" His perspective and emphasis on personal responsibility and independence is a paradigm shift and he offers his very own co-creation framework: shared vision, capacity to execute, rate of execution, and satisfaction with rate of execution. Flynn also explains that relational satisfaction comes down to aligning visions and having satisfactory rates of execution with respect to that very vision in relationships. He also explores the themes of frustration and dissatisfaction in relationship and identifies how you can overcome these.
If you're still reading these, trust me...this one's good. It's soul food for the human who is actively doing the inner work and by the end of this episode, you will better understand the behaviors that inform our false sense of superiority or value and the transformative powers of acceptance, curiosity and personal responsibility.

🚨🎙️ Episode 85 is LIVE! And we’re calling you out on your “All or NOTHING” thinking.
Переглядів 389 годин тому
For years, we lived in a cycle of extremes-constantly swinging between action and inaction. We were either burning ourselves out by going ALL IN or were completely freezing up and procrastinating. There was no balance..no middle…no stability. Sound familiar? You might be stuck in “ALL OR NOTHING” thinking. It’s that black-and-white mindset where things are either ALL good or ALL bad…including y...

Spiralers, we're calling you (and ourselves!) out. It's time to become aware of and heal our attachment to the far too common "ALL OR NOTHING" paradigm - where you are either going full throttle, pedal to the metal, or completely exhausted and avoiding things all together. For years we both struggled with the constant physical and emotional pendulum swing from wild action to inaction, unable to...

    It's hard to find the words to describe how refreshing and relatable this convo was... seeing Asian women talking about this stuff and learning (and helping others) be their real, authentic selves, I mean... FEW THINGS are more beautiful than that!! Thank you ladies for this amazing, HONEST conversation. Also the HUGS 🥹 I could also relate to SO much of it in my own journey of un-hustling, having to face "who I really am" apart from my achievements/reputation, and through the discomfort finally learning to embrace the REAL me underneath ALL the layers I had learned to hide and perform under... from yeaaaars of invisible conditioning. And now doing my best to help others with, too 💗 Also @Vanessa if you ever see this, just want you to know that even before your sabbatical, you were always already one of the REALEST out there (at least to us) amongst all the online entrepreneurs. That's actually how I found you, was because I was looking into reviews of another online entrepreneur's stuff, and I kept seeing a trend of people recommending you instead because of how much more authentic and real you were😂 And yes, I liked your stuff before, but now I LOOOVE it. And as soon as I see "Vanessa Lau has posted..." I know it's a must-watch. Excited for your ongoing journey - and THANK YOU for the ways you continue to lean into courageous vulnerability / radical transparency (which is SO rare and much-needed in this space), which continues to help us all learn and be inspired to do the same!!🤍

      Ahhhh i'm so glad you are resonating!!! It's the conversation I truly believe all women need to hear. We are pushing ourselves to the brink and it's time to reclaim our power and trust our inner self. It's possible to run businesses and lives not out of hustle but in alignment!

    I’m loving this emergence of realness in the entrepreneurial space. Especially as women…we aren’t built to run our bodies and businesses like men! I have a very similar story to Vanessa & I called it quits for a year to heal my body, build a self esteem that isn’t tied to achievement & learn how to conduct business with a more feminine, intuitive & aligned approach. It feels good to be heard & validated by women at the top. I always felt something “off” by the Hormozi’s, Iman Ghadzi’s and Gary Vee’s of the industry. It’s not real. And they sell you a dream that makes you THINK it’s what you want, when it really isn’t.

    • @simplifyingsam
      @simplifyingsam 22 дні тому

      This comment is proof that our journeys weren't for nothing!!! To learn how to move more intuitively and aligned in life is truly such a reward after years of going against our nature. Here's to doing it cyclically, in alignment and with trust <3
