2329: How to Find Freedom From the Opinions of Others AND What to Do When Fear is Keeping us Stuck by Katie Ping
Katie Ping of More Of What Matters Blog shares two short posts covering how to find freedom from the opinions of others and what to do when fear is keeping us stuckEpisode 2329: How to Find Freedom From the Opinions of Others AND What to Do When Fear is Keeping us Stuck by Katie PingKatie Ping is a small-town writer, yogi, and mama who values simplicity. She spent decades of her life people-pleasing and drowning in guilt and shame over parts of her that she thought were unworthy. By her late-20s, she found herself passionless and riddled with anxiety - and she knew she needed a change. Instead of creating a multi-layered plan on how to attain more peace, she started small - with a walking meditation practice. Those 15 minutes of strolling in silence down a tree-lined residential street led her to where she is today - facing her fears of imperfection and doing it anyway.The original posts are located here: http://moreofwhatmattersblog.com/how-to-find-freedom-from-the-opinions-of-others/ & http://moreofwhatmattersblog.com/what-to-do-when-fear-is-keeping-us-stuck/ Visit Me Online at OLDPodcast.com Interested in advertising on the show?
