Do you feel like you are a “Work in Progress?”

Don’t feel alone. We all are!

You won’t want to miss this episode, packed so full of takeaways, that you’ll need your pen and paper handy.

Today's guest Shelley DeJongh, who lives in a small town in Wisconsin with worldwide connections, shares her “Work in Progress” journey while giving herself grace. She is a real-talking, strength-building, solution-finding, hope-creating therapist/Coach. Shelley believes that healing is a process, that change is possible when we assume responsibility for that change and that a little bit of humor can go a long way.

Listen as Shelley gets real about her addiction journey, raising two teens and how she helps others as a therapist and coach. Her beautiful journey gives us HOPE, we are a work in progress and sometimes grace is unknown.

Big takeaways from the Episode:

• “Control is an illusion; the only thing we have control over is the choices we make.”
• “Let your Faith be bigger than your fear.”
• Overcome fear through Prayer. Shelley feels clear in thought and word when connected to God's energy.
• Going back and doing the work on shame. Radically accepting I am good enough, I am not less than. Changing the narrative in my thoughts.
• Making amends with some people in my life. I wrote letters, had conversations, and found forgiveness for the situation and within myself.
• Her Legacy is to be thought of as a woman who embraced her vulnerabilities and shared them with the world to strengthen a community of humans who also co-exist with substance abuse, chronic health, and mental health challenges.
• Shelley wants to be known for her pride in her relationship with her faith.
• Shelley wants to be known for integrity as it relates to her attributes: good decision-making, loyalty, helping others, generating trust, respect, and inclusivity.. She has grown to stand in her truth and align with people, projects, and relationships that empower growth.
• She also wants to be known for being a work in progress. Shelley is constantly working through old patterns that creep in and create negativity in her thoughts and energy. She may not always get relationships right, but she always assesses how to improve or set boundaries to disengage.
• Shelley’s daily routine begins with waking up and praying, setting an intention for the day, and manifesting throughout the day through her words, actions, and emotions to keep aligned with the intention she sets.
• Drinks a lot of water
• Takes her supplements
• Gets up and does jumping jacks in between sessions
