Concrete Shoes: Breaking Free From Stress, Anxiety & Depression

Stress Less & Enjoy More

Welcome to Stress Less & Enjoy More, the podcast that aims to inspire and empower you to make positive changes in your life. In today's episode, your host Sarah Kerr dives deep into the childhood experiences that shaped her journey and led them to where they are today. From being dressed in beautiful clothes but expected to play in the garden without getting dirty, to feeling lonely as an only child, and struggling with confidence and bullying.

Sarah explores the challenges and triumphs that have influenced her path toward mindfulness, spiritual growth, and a fulfilling career. She shares personal stories, experiences, and strategies for overcoming obstacles, and provides practical tips for navigating through the various ups and downs life throws our way. So get ready to stress less and enjoy more, because you deserve to live life on your own terms!

Here are the Highlights:

• [01:10] Growing up, my mother would dress me in beautiful clothes, but always expected me to stay clean while playing in the garden.

• [03:25] Despite not having much money, my parents always provided for me and showed me unconditional love.

• [04:55] Being an only child for eight years, I often felt lonely until my younger brother came along.

• [06:20] On the outside, I appeared to be a goody two shoes, but internally, I struggled with confidence and felt anxious about school.

• [08:05] I empathise with those who have experienced bullying, as it can have a lasting impact.

• [10:15] I recall a traumatic experience of hiding during PE class out of fear of being bullied.

• [14:30] Having a newborn sibling in the house was challenging, but now I have great relationships with my siblings and parents.

• [16:15] I believe that our early childhood experiences shape us and influence our journey in life.

• [18:00] I found resonance in Rebecca Campbell's "Light Is the New Black" and began blending practicality with spirituality in my approach.
