About this listen

 In this episode Harinder and Alicia explore the intriguing concept of 'stirring the pot'. They delve into how external influences and interactions with others can stir up our emotions, beliefs, and memories, often leading to unnecessary angst. Through personal anecdotes and relatable examples, they discuss the importance of recognising our own power in shaping how we feel about ourselves, rather than allowing others to dictate our emotions. KEY TAKEAWAYS The concept of "stirring the pot" symbolises how external influences and interactions with others can disrupt our internal state, bringing unresolved emotions and beliefs to the surface. It's essential to recognize that we often give away our power to others by allowing their opinions and actions to dictate how we feel about ourselves. Taking control of our self-perception is crucial for emotional well-being. Understanding our emotional wounds and how they affect our reactions is vital. Being aware of these wounds helps us navigate interactions without being overly influenced by others' perceptions. Taking a moment to pause before reacting can provide clarity and perspective. This pause allows us to assess our feelings and responses, leading to more thoughtful and constructive interactions. Life is a mix of chaos and stillness. Acknowledging that both movement and calm coexist can help us navigate emotional turbulence, allowing us to breathe through challenges and maintain a sense of balance. BEST MOMENTS "Stirring the pot creates a disruption. Whatever had settled - mostly memories, beliefs, thoughts, feelings - suddenly gets into motion." "We place so much power behind what people think, how someone else feels, that's their own choice." "If we can just focus on our own selves, it makes things a lot simpler, and you know you're just accountable for yourself." "Stirring the pot isn't necessarily a bad thing, it's an opportunity for us to double-check that something I've always believed is still valid." "We are too quick often to jump to our autopilot. That one-second pause can provide us with all the panoramic perspective we require."

Having worked closely with people from all over the world professionally in a corporate setting and since, carving out my own path in the past few years. I am an illustrator, artist and designer. I use intuitive creativity and my leadership skills for transformational coaching. I also create tools for personal and team development. Not new to podcasting, I have previously co-created a mini podcast series called How to Land Your Ideal Job. With this podcast series, I wanted to share my life learnings particularly during the fallow period of life when my life’s direction has not been clear and I’ve had to dig deep below the various identities I had collected and assumed to reconnect with who I really am. Digging through the proverbial lead to share golden nuggets of insight. I hope to take people on mellow belly button contemplations that lead to questions for self inquiry and open up new imagined possibilities to new realities.
