This episode of The Heartbeat is with Natalie Stavola and it's such a good one! Natalie is a dating and relationship coach as well as actress, poet, and writer, and you can find her on instagram: @nataliestavola. Today we talk about redefining what it means to be "productive", taking things moment by moment, and just being a human / surviving this current time.
"We are in an intense and elongated fight-or-flight mode - these are raising cortisol levels. So if people are experiencing their skin breaking out more, that would be why. It's creating our ability to long term plan - that is shut down - and a lot of that is shut down because we don't even know what next month will bring. So it causes the fatigue, it causes the imbalance, and then when we want to fight it, when we want to go 'oh no there's something wrong with me' now we're going back into 'I'm not enough and I need to hide and I need to escape it', or 'there's something wrong and I need to fix it'."
"You're gonna be just fine. You chose those things because you were given gifts. You chose that path because you were given the strength that you needed in order to be the boss that you are today."
"Just because you are aware, too, and can intellectualize the things and figure it out, doesn't mean that it's gonna make it easier, or the journey easier. Still means that you have to put in the work and experience the emotions, and experience the doubt."
