Description

Lady, you did it! If you are listening right now you made it all the way to the end of 2022 and we’re so glad you did. It’s the time of year to take a pause and catch your breath. In fact, there are probably some things on your to-do list that are calling for your attention but you’re avoiding them. That’s not a bad thing…until it is. This week, Terri and Dr. Dom sit down and discuss avoidance and the positive – yes, there are some positive effects – and negative effects that the coping strategy can have on your life. Sometimes you just don’t have it to give, making giving yourself grace and compassion one of the most important skills you can cultivate. Dr. Dom and Terri present scenarios where avoidance can help guide you to healing and how to identify when avoidance is creating unnecessary obstacles on your path. Learning how to make avoidance work for you is an important tool for your toolkit. Tap in while you chill out during this holiday season. Quote of the Day: “Avoidance has never been a great tactic in solving any problem. For most situations in life, not addressing what's going on only makes matters worse.” - Luvvie Ajayi-Jones Register here for the Vibrate Higher Empowerment Workshop!
