  • Michelle Elman is a woman with a psychology empire. Her qualifications speak for themselves: she’s a five-board accredited life coach, a Master Practitioner and a Master Hypnotherapist, plus she’s published four bestselling books. But these accolades are more than just a job for Michelle. They’re personal. She faced serious health challenges throughout her childhood, having to endure 15 surgeries, followed by periods of intense self-doubt and low body confidence due to her many scars.
    Aged just 21, she began her campaign ‘Scarred not Scared’, advocating for body confidence, and sharing her story with the world. Now, she spends her days coaching others on the importance of self-love, boundaries and acceptance. I’m so excited to share her wisdom with you in this episode.
    thank you for watching!

    love this so much. Michelle is referring to a lot of CBT principles and shifting from a negative narrative to a more helpful one.

    I adore how it feels like I'm the third person sitting in the room with you guys, it's really bolstering and intimately connecting. I learnt a lot, this was really appreciated and gives me lots to think about.

    Not being direct is like being a liar. …not to mention..fake! I’m direct…what they see is what they get. Everyone isn’t going to like me and I don’t like everyone. This has been the best podcast!

    • @upendasana7857

      Yes theres a difference in being "direct"as you out it and just damn right rude or deliberately offensive or being critical or direct because it makes you feel better about yourself.Don't mistake being "direct"with being honest,they might not be the same thing.Being "honest"often takes more courage and vulnerability which is why many do not do it.Not being "direct"might not always mean being a liar",that is an extrmely binary way to think of things and also seems to presume you are ALWAYS direct and honest,others and in some situations it might be hard to be "direct"or honest as there are power relations or people are simply human !!!
      Being a manipualtive deleberate liar is a whole other thing !!!

    I liked the topic. Only thing I disagree with is the people pleasing is manipulative bit.
    Manipulation is intentional, by this definition 'serving or intended to control or influence others in an artful and often unfair or selfish way'
    Most people pleasers are not intentionally doing it to control others, they are doing it because they have been programmed to do that way.

    • @Nikki-ks6wi
      @Nikki-ks6wi 5 месяцев назад +1

      But it is a form of controlling the outcome of expectations to be needed. Ask a people pleaser their needs they shut your out. You never really connect with the people pleaser making it hard to reciprocate what the other might want to give

    • @upendasana7857
      @upendasana7857 Месяц назад

      I totally agree,people pleasing is often not even a conscious thing but just a reflex survival response.As you say "people pleasing often disadvantages the people pleaser"as they don't get needs met or say what they really need to or are just too scared of rejection or abandonment.
      Manipulation is much more conscious and intentioanl as you say where someone is deliberately trying to get needs met in an indirect and dishonest way that might well mean another is exploited or left taken advantage of.Manipulation implies some degree of control and awareness and people pleasing is rarely that as it often leaves the people pleaser in a vulnerable situation too scared to say NO.

    Really interesting episode to listen to!
    Grace you look slightly disengaged when you have your phone on your lap, would you consider having a notepad instead of your phone? I find it distracting too as anyone who has their phone on them during a conversation, signals they aren’t fully present

  • @upendasana7857
    @upendasana7857 Месяц назад

    Can't help but think that Tinder might not be a good way of meeting people especially when you're in your twenties or teenagers...whats wrong with actually trying to meet people in real life,I mean any insecurities about dating are bound to be exaggerated when dealing with tinder.

    Grace; do you realise Michelle has no real qualifications? She hasn't even done a real coaching course. Be careful about who you interview.
