EPISODE 087 | Self Compassion Should Be the Vitamin You Take Every Day to Alleviate Insecurity, Anxiety, and Fear

Human Amplified

This week, we’re talking to another brilliant musician, singer-songwriter, and all around badass rocker, Carrie Akre. She’s an intuitive life coach, podcaster, solo artist, and also has fronted the bands Hammerbox, Goodness, and The Rockfords with Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready.

In this episode, we’re unpacking societal conditioning around emotions, that when addressed, bring a relief and healing. From using your emotions to navigate making good decisions to using your intuition regularly to choose yourself, Carrie explains the importance of self compassion in alleviating insecurity, anxiety, and fear, which in turn, leads to a better life.

We also explore shadow bubbling up to be dealt with in the collective and in ourselves, and how that’s a good thing, even if it’s hard.

You’ll leave this episode knowing:

-What shadow work is and the importance of it

-How to start recognizing the truth and what resonates with you

-How to tell the difference between your intuition and your analytical mind or thoughts that you might confuse as your intuition

-How to strengthen trust in your intuition

-And most importantly, how to make decisions that are best for you, even when that results in hard emotions coming from other people

Support for this podcast comes from Human Amplified’s Backstage Pass on Patreon. Why would you want to hang out behind our stage? Well, it’s a brand new offering that’s really fun, so you’d be one of the first, but most importantly, you get to rock out behind the scenes with other people who feel just like you. We’re a little counterculture and we don’t always fit in. But, we’re good humans who want the world to be better. Backstage, we can figure out how to help it be, together. When you snag your Human Amplified Backstage Pass on Patreon, you get to hang out on monthly live calls to learn about what goes into making the show and how you could make a show or something like it. But also, we can talk about whatever you want.

In fact, in our last call, I answered the question why choose a podcast. I get asked this a lot. And, my answer was it was based on feeling. That’s the honest truth, even if it’s not the mainstream way to make business decisions. That’s intuition at work, my friend, which Carrie is about to really dive deep into in part two of her interview.

Backstage, you also get access to The Good Seats and Crowd Surfing, which are two other Patreon tiers that give you unedited and uncut video of each podcast episode, including the one today with Carrie Akre; special commentary on what went into making each episode; and VIP-only entry to our new and growing Discord server.

So let’s meet up backstage and figure out how we can be counterculture enough so that it becomes culture. Go to patreon.com/humanamplified and grab your backstage pass today.
