Andrea Owen joins us on the podcast today. Andrea is the author of the book “How To Stop Feeling Like Shit” and the host of the “Your Kick Ass Life Podcast.” She’s also a coach and mentor who works with women one on one doing work based on the work of Dr. Brene Brown, which focuses on courage, vulnerability, shame and authenticity. In this episode we talk about habits that are holding us back in our personal lives and in our careers. We go through some of the highlights of Andrea’s book: How to Stop Feeling Like Shit and we break down how we can put these focus points into action in our daily lives.

Key Takeaway: Work on getting comfortable with yourself and auditing your emotions. This will allow you to open yourself up more authentically to your loved ones and help you feel confident in your career.

Highlights:

• Isolating yourself as to not be a burden
• Feeling embarrassed or ashamed because of your problems
• Having self-awareness
• Learning how to open up to friends and family
• Numbing yourself vs. comforting yourself
• Controlled emoting – Getting emotional on purpose to release energy
• Downplaying your accomplishments – Imposter Syndrome
• Learning to accept positive feedback
• Auditing your inner circle
• Letting go of needing to be in control
• Being present
• Developing self trust
