#46 Think Ignoring it will Make it Go Away with Life Coach and Author Valerie Maksym

Be The Wolf

My guest on this week’s podcast had a history of shoving her pain under the rug. It started when she was twelve. But over the years it got worse and worse.

She became a shell of herself, and had the mindset of, “Just let me get through another day.”

I know a lot of you out there feel that way about your job.

It’s the absolute worst on Monday, once you’ve had a weekend of freedom.

But Tuesday you think, “Okay fine, we have to be here, let’s just make it to Friday.” So you put on a good face and try to do your best.

On Wednesday, you sit in meeting after meeting listening to people with half your talent get all the glory.

You’ve known exactly what you were going to say in this meeting since yesterday. (You didn’t want to be caught off guard.) But every time you try to speak, someone talks over you. Nobody is paying attention.

You’re fuming, but you hold it in.

By Thursday your stomach hurts so bad in the morning you think about calling in. But you know that will only put more work on your desk so you suck it up and go in anyway.

Put on that smile. Pretend everything is just fine. But you feel like a zombie.

And by Friday you’re struggling to keep a panic attack at bay. Just one more day. Let me make it through one more day.

The thing is, at some point, everything you’ve been stuffing is going to come out. One way or another. And it will never pick the right time.

So the question becomes, will you wait until you can’t hold it in anymore? Until it explodes before you do something about this cycle?

Or maybe you’re worried that you can’t do anything to fix it? Because everything you’ve tried hasn’t worked.

I want you to know that you can!!

This is why I love talking to people like Valerie Maksym. It wasn’t easy for her. She spent a lifetime stuffing and internalizing the pain of trauma and tragedy. But through perseverance and showing up for herself, she took back her life. She is now a competitive bodybuilder, author, and high-performance life coach. She found her true self and allows her inner superhero to shine bright for the world to see.

If Valerie can do it, so can you!
