Aleks Kop - Too much in our head, never in our body | Understanding & integrating emotions in life

Описание: Aleks Kop is a confidence coach who teaches and helps people cultivate a connection with their inner selves, guiding their choices towards a more authentic and fulfilling life. In other words, she helps you get off your head and more into your body.

If you have ever been told to “listen to your gut”, but found yourself unable to even sense if you had a gut feeling to begin with, this is the kind of work we’re talking about.

After trying to launch two startups without making them work, I was lost and didn’t know what to do. All of my tools, fully focused on using the mind and its rational ways, collapsed. I was unable to reverse engineer and plan the best path ahead, as I had always done. For months, I woke up and went to sleep with a feeling of generalized anxiety. Out of desperation, at last, I just accepted and surrendered to it as something I couldn’t do much about, but I wanted, at least, to understand what it really wanted from me.

I worked with Aleks for four months and she completely changed my life. Thanks to her help, I am now fully comfortable in my body, my emotions, and those of others. But our journey together goes even further. I discovered things that were influencing my life without me even being aware of it, and I discovered a new way of living, a way that is so much more profound and intensely human.

It’s been hard as fuck, but I am very happy to have gone through it.

It’s wonderful to have her as a guest and I hope, with this little surface-scratching, that you will find this helpful.
