504: Letting Go of the “I’ve Got This” Mask | Laura Dionisio


LISTEN TO THE EPISODE


In this episode, I’m joined by Laura Dionisio, one of our Certified Adult Chair® Master coaches, for a real conversation about what happens when we stop living from our protective masks and start listening to what our body is trying to tell us. Laura shares her journey from an engineering, high-achieving mindset to a heart-open life that is led from within, plus the moment she realized she could not ignore her body’s “no” anymore.

We talk about shame, inner child healing, and why so many of us keep running around the very feelings that are asking to be metabolized and released. Laura also breaks down a simple “body scan” practice that helped her begin trusting herself, especially when “feel your emotions” felt confusing or impossible.

in this episode, You’ll Learn:

  • How Laura’s “tough” persona became a protective mask, and what it looked like to let it go

  • Why I believe we have to walk through the fire of shame, unworthiness, and fear so it can transform

  • A simple body scan you can use to reconnect with your emotions, even if you feel stuck in your head

  • How Laura used the Adult Chair framework to work with her adolescent chair instead of fighting it

  • The “reverse bedtime procrastination” wake-up call that helped Laura realize something needed to change

  • What it was like for Laura to quit corporate quickly, and how she handled the fear and doubt that came up after the decision
