Why do we keep reacting in ways we promised ourselves we wouldn't? This episode of The Soul Mirror Podcast is for anyone who looks put-together on the outside but feels tired, pressured, or out of step on the inside.Transformational life coach Liz Coleman shares how noticing, rather than fixing, helps old patterns loosen, why a regulated nervous system gives you room to choose, and how changing your self-talk can soften the pressure.About the Guest:Liz Coleman is a transformational life coach who spent 26 years in the nonprofit world, including as a Chief Development Officer, before burnout led her to create her own coaching program. She works mostly with women.Key Takeaways:Nothing is wrong with you. Your patterns reflect what you learned, not who you are.Name a feeling and let it be. Resisting emotions tends to make them stronger.Many patterns are inherited beliefs about how to be accepted. Ask where yours came from.A few minutes of breathing, walking, or meditation daily helps you pause instead of snap.Swap "I have to" for "I get to." A small language shift can ease the pressure.Connect With the Guest:Website: https://www.lizcolemanlifecoach.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reallizcoleman/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lizcolemanlifecoachEpisode Chapters (approx.):[00:00] The Gap Between Two Selves - an opening on what we show and what we feel [02:00] From Burnout to Coaching - Liz's 26 years in nonprofits and the search for a better way [03:30] Nothing to Fix - letting feelings be instead of fighting them [06:30] Where Patterns Begin - family, teachers, and the beliefs we absorb [09:30] Awareness and Mind Shifting - noticing the automatic and loosening old emotion [13:00] Catching the Moment - regulation, pausing, and asking better questions [18:00] Grace for the Layers - setbacks, the onion, and moving from "have to" to "get to"🎙️ Want to Be a Guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?Send me a direct message on PodMatch.👉 DM Me Here: https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avik🌱 About Healthy Mind By Avik™️Healthy Mind By Avik™️ Global Mental Wellness Podcast Network - focused, credible, no more identity clutter.👉 Subscribe and be part of this healing journey.Refer a GuestKnow someone who would be a great fit for one of our podcast shows?
