When we are emotionally triggered by something, we are usually reacting to a situation instead of responding to it.  And when we are reacting instead of responding, we show up as our wounded selves instead of our best selves. That\u2019s when it\u2019s time to pause, ask yourself where this is really coming from, and take a moment to gain clarity so that you can reframe the situation and navigate it from a place of truth and integrity.    Today on The Bridge to Fulfillment\u24c7, Blake welcomes Andrea Mein DeWitt, author of \u201cName, Claim & Reframe: Your Path to a Well-Lived Life\u201d, a practical approach to navigating life\u2019s challenges. Her guide teaches you how to name and balance your emotional triggers, claim core value lead actions, and reframe challenges as opportunities so you can live your best life. In this episode, you\u2019ll learn how to listen to your inner compass and allow it to guide you, rather than continue to push it and its message to the background.  You\u2019ll hear practical tips for gaining attuned awareness so you can begin to heal yourself from the inside out. You\u2019ll also learn how to lead more intelligently and with more self-compassion so that you can start to rebuild your idea of success on a foundation of truth and authenticity. Until we navigate our inner problems, the changes we make on the outside won\u2019t help us make the fundamental life changes we seek on the inside.    What You\u2019ll Learn: Why it\u2019s never too late in life for big changes (3:16) The bold move Andrea made to shift her path in a new direction (11:57) How to be a better, more integrated leader (21:55) Dissecting feedback to uncover the truth (35:58) Cultivating intelligent leadership (43:43)   Favorite Quotes: \u201cI think that the battled and bruised healers are the best healers, because they know the pathway and it's okay to make mistakes, because mistakes are where the magic happens.\u201d \u2013Andrea Mein DeWitt \u201cIn order to become who you're meant to be, you need to release who you were and trust. My favorite saying is, \u2018Leap and the net will appear.\u2019\u201d\u2013Andrea Mein DeWitt \u201cWe often don't think about the identities that we give ourselves and how much holding on to those things is destroying our lives.\u201d \u2013Blake \u201cWe often talk about leadership in terms of very tactical things, not understanding that the biggest and most powerful way to show up as a leader is to have a level of self-awareness and authenticity. And then being able to create that safe space and authenticity for those around you.\u201d \u2013Blake   Additional Resources:  Connect with Andrea: https:\/\/www.andreadewittadvisors.com\/ https:\/\/www.andreadewittadvisors.com\/leadership-quiz https:\/\/www.andreadewittadvisors.com\/programs https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/andreadewittcoaching\/ https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/andrea-mein-dewitt-98694068\/ For programs and opportunities to work with Blake, go to www.BlakeSchofield.com ","author_name":"The Bridge to Fulfillment","author_url":"https:\/\/www.thebridgetofulfillment.com","html":"
