24. Healing Shame and Learning to Find Validation Within with Matt Landsiedel

I am ecstatic to welcome the first guest of this second season of the podcast - Matt Landsiedel.

Matt earned his undergraduate degree in Addictions Counselling and has spent the past 15 years working in the fields of mental health and Transformative Life coaching. As the creator of his own brand “Inspired to Be Authentic”, Matt works as an emotional and spiritual guide for highly sensitive people and empaths, assisting others in transforming trauma, grief and shame into acceptance, empowerment and authenticity

In this episode, a large part of our conversation revolves around our personal transformations from seeking external validation, to sourcing that validation from within.

Matt and I talk about many parallels in our personal journeys - from our own addictions to fitness to seeking validation through sex and codependent relationships, and how we learned to heal our own shame and relational patterns through seeking stillness.

Matt and I discuss:

-How to discern between when we are doing something from a place of true self-love and authenticity versus when we are seeking validation from the outside world

-How to transmute shame into self-acceptance

-How shadow work and healing the inner child are integral components of stepping into our true authentic expressions and “highest” versions of self

We also talk about how to incorporate:

-Tantra

-Mirror Work

-Somatic Work

-Self-Love & Embodiment Practices

And MUCH more!!

If you’re ready to do a deep dive into self-discovery, get your journal out, set up a nice comfy space and sit back for this DEEP DIVE of an episode.
