We are getting into the last part of the EMBODIED Self Love Framework in this episode - Self Respect.

Self respect is where the other four parts of the EMBODIED Self Love Framework get integrated.

When you are more self aware you discover what you need to know, when you know yourself better,  you can accept yourself more, when you are coming from self awareness, knowledge and acceptance, it's easier to trust yourself and when you're doing all four, self respect just makes sense.

In this episode you'll hear me talk about:

• How you treat and speak to yourself
• How to not abandon yourself
• How to use the discernment we talked about during self trust to respect yourself through who and what you prioritize
• How self respect helps to dissolve people pleasing

...and more

In the sixth episode of the EMBODIED Self Love series we discuss:

[6:47] How people pleasing can be alchemized through self respect

[8:37] Why you need to honor yourself 

[11:45] Why you should reserve the right to change your mind

[14:46] What compassion really is 

[16:27] Anchoring into your truth and how this alignment will be meaningful to you

[17:36] Why you should steer clear of self abandonment 

[21:39] Indicators of self abandonment to watch out for

[23:41] Being more intentional about who and how your loving

[24:01] Reflection questions to ask yourself around self respect

[30:20] Why it’s important to acknowledge how different we all are

About the EMBODIED Podcast with Elizabeth DiAlto 

Since 2013 I’ve been developing a body of work that helps women embody self love, healing and wholeness. We do this by focusing on the four levels of consciousness - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

In practical terms this looks like exploring tools and practices to help you  tune into the deep wisdom of the body and the knowing of the heart, which I believe are gateways to our souls. Then we cultivate a new relationship with our minds that allows the mind to serve this wisdom and knowing and soul connection, rather than override it, which is what many of us were taught.

The show runs in seasons now and this season we’re focusing on my EMBODIED Self Love Framework.

We’ll be looking at Self Awareness, Self Knowledge, Self Acceptance, Self Trust and Self Respect - with a bonus episode on Boundaries as well.

If you’ve been doing self help or spiritual development work for a while, these are the types of foundational things that often people overlook in pursuit of fancier concepts that often aren’t practical or sustainable. Here, we will focus on building these strong foundations so you can honestly and thoroughly embody self love. If you’re feeling it, subscribe to the show, and leave us a review wherever you listen from. You can also keep up with show updates and community discussion on Instagram here.

I have been teaching about self trust for over seven years now and for this episode, the self trust teaching wanted to come through a bit differently. No doubt, the reason is that trust is harder when tragedy and trauma are rampant because we get pulled into the WHY question? It doesn’t make sense. And it’s not supposed to. 

And during these current times we're living through there's a lot of that.

So we question a lot of valid things but can get overly distracted by them. This is why we need to ‘"insource” more than we "outsource" and strengthen our direct connection to the Divine (God, Source, Universe, etc) --and that is the part of the teaching I had to integrate more deeply into today's exploration of self trust

The only intermediary we need is our soul. 

In today's episode I cover:

• How we build trust within ourselves similarly to how we build trust with others.
• Why we need self trust if we hope to have self love
• The difference between judgment and discernment
• How to know which part of yourself to trust, and how to practice self trust when you feel conflicted
• Big questions people face around self trust like - how to know the difference between fear and intuition, how to know when it's our ego talking, or our trauma or wounds
• Some universal truths you can choose to place faith in if you want that will help cultivate trust more easily

...and more

I get much deeper into the nuance of these things in the EMBODIED Self Love Mini Course - so if you are working on self trust and want the extra support - check it out here.

In the fifth episode of the EMBODIED Self Love series we discuss:

[4:07] How trust has been an integral part of my body of work as it’s evolved
[5:31] How it takes time to develop self trust
[7:22] Why you can’t separate self trust from trust in the divine
[9:56] Examining what part of yourself your trusting vs. not trusting
[12:26] How fostering a broader trust in the divine will help your self trust
[14:58] One of my biggest mantras during some of the hardest times of my life
[17:15] How trusting yourself helps you trust other people
[20:40] Minding your own business and not inserting yourself in other people’s business
[24:18] Cultivating more energy to be more trusting, open to things that are worthy of you 
[25:35] How trust requires surrender and the ability to let go
[27:44] Considering how your choices might impact other people and the world around you
[31:03] Why you shouldn’t hold yourself to impossible standards around things you couldn’t have known
[31:24] Working through the fear of trusting yourself when criticism is present 
[33:10] How fear blocks people’s ability to trust in themselves

• The energetic difference between approaching things in your life from an accepting place vs an non accepting place

• The role of kindness, gentleness and forgiveness in self acceptance
• How to accept things about yourself that you feel shame about
• Specifically how to accept your body, as a woman, in a culture with so much programming around "what's ideal"

How well do you really know yourself?

And why does self knowledge matter so much?

In order to do any of the work of EMBODIED self love, you really do need to know yourself.

You need to know things [for starters] like:

• What’s ok with you and what’s not ok with you? 
• What excites you what doesn’t? 

Life is cyclical. There are phases and changes, which means you should feel free to be someone different than you were yesterday. I always say, "I reserve the right to change my mind." And I can tell you from living that way it won’t always please others. But staying true to who you are moment to moment is a radical act of self love. 

Real, deep,EMBODIED self love requires ACTIONS behaviors, habits and STANDARDS! 

Self knowledge is the place where we tune into all of that. 

In today's episode I cover:

• Values
• Priorities
• "The Power of the Pause" - which is a super helpful reflection technique to learn about yourself and increase your self knowledge in your day to day experiences
• Aspects of the self and multidimensionality 
• Various tools and systems like Human Design, Enneagram, Astrology and more that help you discover who you really are and how you're built - and discern between what is your conditioning and what is your truth
• The four stages of learning

...and more

In the third episode of the EMBODIED Self Love series we discuss:

[2:41] Why you need to give yourself room to be who you are right now and room to become someone else
[4:46] Why you don’t need everyone to like you
[5:30] The 5 main values I use for discernment of everything in my life
[7:34] Reasons why I often couple values and priorities together
[10:48] Why you don’t have to take on other peoples priorities
[12:15] Why I don’t fully subscribe to any one personality test or zodiac sign
[15:07] What I realized about making impulsive and intuitive choices
[18:41] Learning to cultivate internal authority 
[19:10] The aspects of you versus the whole you and an exercise you can do
[23:38] Discovering what your actual truth is
[28:03] Why I want you to know the value of self knowledge
[31:15] Thoughts on why you should question everything
