365. Lose The Labels That Keep You Small&Expand Into Real Freedom - a podcast by Emily Gough

There are more “labels” than ever floating around out there, especially in the areas of self-help and personal development. Occasionally, labels can be helpful by helping us to feel less isolated and alone in our “weirdness.”

But identifying too strongly with any particular label has the potential to do more harm than good. They prevent us from viewing individuals (including ourselves) as a whole, complex and unique being. Labels, therefore, can keep us small, rigid, and wrapped up in parts of ourselves without allowing the fullness of our personalities to shine through.

Labels can also keep us so deeply focused on “self” that we forget how much connection with others heals us, because we heal IN relationships.

In this episode, we’re talking about: 

• How labels weigh us down and keep us small
• How to nourish yourself without the labels
• Personal development and self-help
• Judgment
• Relationships and human connection

 

This podcast topic actually came from a suggestion on Instagram. I’d love to know your thoughts about labels. Email me or DM me on Instagram @emilygoughcoach. I’d love to chat more!
