The Source of Your Value, Safety, and Truth: A Conversation with Coach Jessica Matchett

Last week, you heard about how my alter ego Nagasaki was about to go off on someone over the phone...until I decided to just hang up. This week, I’m letting you in on a session with my peer coach Jessica Matchett, that ties into a repeating theme I want all listeners of this podcast to embrace for themselves.

In this episode of Words of Love, you’ll hear about showing up unapologetically and doing the work of getting to the source of truth for you. You’ll also learn why some of us might shy away from expressing justifiable anger, and the need to see value and safety within ourselves.

2:04 - Replaying the incident that set me off and allowing this to be about my needs

10:01 - A survival mechanism that, when taken to the extreme, can demoralize you

17:50 - The question that this coaching session process boils down to and why I hung up when I did

22:23 - Why feeling angry (even justifiably so) didn’t feel okay

30:33 - The tendency to use humor to shift out of discomfort and taking steps to feel okay about anger without apology

37:46 - The importance of seeing yourself as the source of your truth in the value and safety you seek from others
