EP 53 - Nicola Lucie - Lifting the Lid on our Emotional ‘Triggers’

As parents, we tend to react to our child’s behavior. Sometimes an overreaction is nothing to do with the child in front of us - but more about what’s going on deep within us. In this episode, Nicola and I discuss the importance of standing back and giving ourselves some space. We talk about understanding what is ‘triggering’ our responses - and in fact, if there is a better way of processing our (often) highly charged emotions. Because, when we do - we are offering our children the opportunity to take our lead and learn to do the same. As women, we have been bought up to suppress our emotions and to put our needs at the bottom go the pile. By acknowledging our own emotional needs, we are able to unearth what’s beneath. This teaches us how to nurture the relationship that we have with ourselves and those close to us. How magical is that? So let’s “face the fear - and do it anyway.” ~~~~~ More about Nicola :   Nicola Lucie, Shamanic Shadow Work Practitioner for Women and the Founder of The Feminine Principle   Nicola is a Shamanic Practitioner who specializes in Shadow Work for Women supporting them to navigate mid-life crises' that trigger deep anxiety and stress, making them question who they are as women, mothers, and daughters.   As a result, they get to know who they are on a deeper level, respecting their needs and boundaries with the inner confidence and self-awareness to navigate the complex dynamics of the relationship they have with themselves and others feeling more connected on the inside and living their life with a clear sense of purpose, possibility, inner power and freedom.   📍Founder @ The Feminine Principle : https://thefeminineprinciple.com 📍 Get started Mastering Your Emotional Triggers : https://thefeminineprinciple.com/master-emotional-triggers-in-your-relationships Book a call and chat to Nicola about her 9-month Shadow Work For Women Program : 📍 Just say that Cai sent you x Here is the link :https://thefeminineprinciple.com/one-to-one-shadow-work-coaching-sessions ~~~~~ * Coping with your BIG Emotions : Are you or your child struggling with big emotions at the minute?
