Transcripts

Unknown:

Hello, hello, and welcome to the Borealis

Unknown:

experience. I'm your host Aurora, life coach and companion

Unknown:

on this beautiful journey called life. I hope you feel good, I

Unknown:

hope you feel safe, inspired, motivated, fulfilled, hope you

Unknown:

have a sense of self that is strong and confident. I hope you

Unknown:

feel you're living your best life. And if you're not, I hope

Unknown:

you can feel inspiration, I hope I'm able to create a space here

Unknown:

where you can rest and reflect and recharge your batteries and

Unknown:

feel fully yourself. This is what I'm here to do. This is

Unknown:

what my vision is that I create these spaces for you. Soon also

Unknown:

in the physical world, and in ways that yeah, I am very

Unknown:

excited to imagine like retreats or coming up to your hometown

Unknown:

and holding workshops where you can take a break from the

Unknown:

busyness from the noise and come back to yourself, find out who

Unknown:

you truly are, to then make your next step most authentic and

Unknown:

impactful. I love seeing people getting unstuck and growing and

Unknown:

making decisions that are in alignment with their true

Unknown:

selves, because those people are most alive and most loving, not

Unknown:

only with themselves, but also with the people around them. And

Unknown:

the more people we have like this, the stronger and more

Unknown:

resilient our society can become. As I announced last

Unknown:

time, is that for now, I'm not going to have a strict schedule

Unknown:

on when I post my episode, it used to be twice a week, on

Unknown:

Mondays and Thursdays and I told you shared with you that I was

Unknown:

going to go with my creative side and post an episode

Unknown:

whenever the urge is strong. And I trust that, you know that I

Unknown:

will show up that doesn't mean that I'm going to do less but

Unknown:

more. But in a more authentic way. I used to shop on a regular

Unknown:

schedule. And sometimes I felt I kind of forced myself abused

Unknown:

myself to show up. And I'm fearful that my content wouldn't

Unknown:

be as authentic anymore for you. If I was to continue on this

Unknown:

path, and this why this is where I'm choosing this path No. And

Unknown:

it took me some time to come up with that courage to communicate

Unknown:

this to you. I was scared that you know I would receive

Unknown:

resistance or even rejection you know that people would just say

Unknown:

okay, well then what's the point? If there's no

Unknown:

consistency, then why should we stick around? And I want to

Unknown:

transfer those feelings and this experience into your life now

Unknown:

and and ask you how authentic Are you? And how authentically

Unknown:

Can you show up in your relationships and you don't have

Unknown:

to be in a marriage in a committed relationship. But when

Unknown:

it comes to your work when it comes to your co workers when it

Unknown:

comes to your friends and family. Do you have kind of a

Unknown:

rigid consistency Do you play as a specific role in your

Unknown:

connections with others? And can we all step back for a moment

Unknown:

and go into bird's perspective and feel how this all fields

Unknown:

maybe you are a provider? Maybe you are a vibrant member of the

Unknown:

community.

Unknown:

Maybe you are the housewife? Maybe you are a committed lover.

Unknown:

But you feel your needs are not really getting met.

Unknown:

So when we make the time when we have the courage to sit in

Unknown:

silence, and to reflect about our role, and we then realize,

Unknown:

shit. This doesn't feel like me at all. I'm in this role now.

Unknown:

And everybody is, you know, everything functions. But I

Unknown:

don't feel a centac I don't feel good about it anymore. What if I

Unknown:

started moving into a more authentic direction, then

Unknown:

everything around me has to shift as well. And I want to

Unknown:

share with you what I dreamt last night, it was a dream about

Unknown:

doors. In a hostel, it wasn't quite a motel nada hotel, it was

Unknown:

a hostel. And there were people that I knew and people I didn't

Unknown:

know. And I kept visiting people and their rooms or gotten

Unknown:

invited. And whenever I opened a door, and then closed it behind

Unknown:

me, it would change. Whenever I decided to go to the next room,

Unknown:

I opened a door, and sometimes it wouldn't lead me to this next

Unknown:

room, it would lead me to another room. And once I closed

Unknown:

that door, again, it would change. And I feel that

Unknown:

sometimes we feel like that person and my dream, maybe it

Unknown:

was me, it certainly felt like it that we take a decision to go

Unknown:

somewhere. And then we're surprised that it looks

Unknown:

differently than we anticipated. When we feel we need to change

Unknown:

the room, we need to change a situation. And we are scared of

Unknown:

making a move. We're also scared of having these conversations.

Unknown:

Sometimes we we decide to not do anything at all, we decide to

Unknown:

stay kind of stuck and paralyzed. And maybe we work

Unknown:

more, maybe we eat more, maybe we try to numb more because now

Unknown:

it's even more painful to stay in that situation. Because we

Unknown:

became aware that there is a change that needs to happen. But

Unknown:

we're so terrified of the consequences. And then those

Unknown:

conversations that we need to have I pretty scary, right?

Unknown:

Because all of a sudden you tell your partner, you tell your

Unknown:

coworker, you tell your boss, hey, actually, this role that

Unknown:

I'm playing day in day out, doesn't fit me anymore, I

Unknown:

outgrew it, I need something else, I don't feel fulfilled, I

Unknown:

don't feel that I can change in a way that is authentic to me.

Unknown:

And at the same time is good for you. And you'll be surprised how

Unknown:

people react. We always think of the worst case like we always

Unknown:

get really anxious. And again, sometimes we decide to not have

Unknown:

these conversations at all. Sometimes we just leave without

Unknown:

any conversation happening, just the basics, like oh, I don't

Unknown:

want this anymore, I'm out. But sometimes when we we start

Unknown:

having that conversation, there's so much tension and

Unknown:

nervousness that we forget that the other person might feel the

Unknown:

same. And by showing up so courageously and so vulnerable

Unknown:

at the same time as an authentic, you open up a stage

Unknown:

for the other person to be the same as well. And maybe they

Unknown:

didn't make the time yet to think about the same things and

Unknown:

reflect but maybe they did secretly and you just didn't see

Unknown:

it. And he made assumptions about that other person's

Unknown:

feelings and thoughts. And now all of a sudden you step into

Unknown:

this stage I want to call it what you open up and share.

Unknown:

And the other person does the same. You might also face a

Unknown:

brutal fucked up ego reaction right where they're like why you

Unknown:

just You know, you're just having a midlife crisis. And

Unknown:

it's gonna change tomorrow when you're on your period again, or

Unknown:

it's going to change once you go back to your soccer practice and

Unknown:

have more routine, whatever it is, the other person can have a

Unknown:

very fearful reaction, but it should not disturb you. It

Unknown:

should not distract you from the message that you want to get

Unknown:

across. And then again, sometimes, in the moment, they

Unknown:

might realize shit, yeah, that feels pretty authentic to me,

Unknown:

too. I need a change as well. I don't want to be the home alone,

Unknown:

mommy, and you're out and about and providing for us and, you

Unknown:

know, running around to make sure everything is fine. I want

Unknown:

to contribute to I want to go get a job and fulfill my dreams.

Unknown:

And maybe you want to stay a little bit more at home, and

Unknown:

balance it out. Whatever it is, right? The most important thing

Unknown:

is that when you start expressing yourself

Unknown:

authentically, and then taking steps towards that feeling, you

Unknown:

will feel better. And things will align for you. And the

Unknown:

people that are meant to be in your life will stick even more

Unknown:

closely to you. And the people who are not in alignment with

Unknown:

that will be pushed to the side a little bit. But that's okay.

Unknown:

Because you open up new doors for them as well. Yes, maybe

Unknown:

they go find a different partner than maybe it's your boss. And

Unknown:

he will say, well, sorry, then I gotta let you go. Because that's

Unknown:

not in alignment with our company. But so be it. Do you

Unknown:

want to lay on your deathbed one day? And tell yourself? Oh,

Unknown:

yeah, well, I always made sure that everybody around me was

Unknown:

happy. And I played kind of small I expressed myself but I

Unknown:

it was more important for me to keep peace with others than

Unknown:

anything else. Trust me that if you don't follow this path of

Unknown:

authenticity and real expression, real authentic

Unknown:

action, L E to up from the inside, and you will never feel

Unknown:

peace inside because it will nag at you so much. And don't get me

Unknown:

wrong if you are the home alone. Or not home alone. But if you

Unknown:

are the person who sees fulfilment in a certain role,

Unknown:

and feels good with it, but for an outsider, it looks totally

Unknown:

boring. That doesn't matter. That's not what I mean. It is

Unknown:

what is true to you. So I invite you to ask you is the role

Unknown:

you're playing in your friend's life and your partner's life and

Unknown:

your family's life and your co workers and companies live? Is

Unknown:

that what feels most authentic to you? Or do you need to have

Unknown:

these scary conversations? Let's call them and labeling them

Unknown:

scary and negatively already. But I want to be crystal clear

Unknown:

that yes, they're going to be uncomfortable. But I want you to

Unknown:

see and feel that sometimes choosing discomfort over in

Unknown:

authenticity is so worth it. And maybe you have to have that

Unknown:

conversation with yourself first.

Unknown:

Maybe you have to realize shit. The life I'm living right now is

Unknown:

built on coping mechanisms on fear. I'm not showing up for

Unknown:

myself because I don't have the self worth. I don't believe in

Unknown:

myself. Well, then we got to start there and my sweetheart

Unknown:

then we have to start take out whatever it is that makes you

Unknown:

feel unworthy of living a purposeful, authentic life. And

Unknown:

we'll start by finding out who you truly are. Because you don't

Unknown:

need to make drastic changes in the outside world. If you're not

Unknown:

sure who you are. Your discomfort is the biggest push

Unknown:

foot Change already. But we don't have to throw everything

Unknown:

out the window already. We have to first find out what is it

Unknown:

that you need? What is the discomfort? And how can we make

Unknown:

you feel authentic within yourself. And sometimes once you

Unknown:

start doing that work, your outside world adapts

Unknown:

automatically. And then you don't even have to have these

Unknown:

big conversations because by the way you live and speak and are,

Unknown:

things will fall off. Decisions will fall off your shoulders,

Unknown:

and doors will be opening up. So that's another very important

Unknown:

thing I want to mention here that right sometimes you gotta

Unknown:

go drastically and you got to have these conversations and

Unknown:

meet huge discomfort and ego reactions. But if you're too

Unknown:

fearful of that, if if you feel the obstacles are too big, start

Unknown:

small with baby steps and start from within, rebuild yourself

Unknown:

from within, build a backbone, live from the bone live from the

Unknown:

inside out. And be radically honest with yourself. And then

Unknown:

things will adapt around you. It really works. And if you want to

Unknown:
