Joe and Brett break down a coaching session from one of Joe’s public coaching workshops. In this episode, Joe encounters a woman who feels like she’s trapped in her head and can’t move forward. As they dissect the shifts that occur during the session, the complexity of confidence and the subtle ways we evade self-doubt are laid out as an opportunity to reflect on how they show up in our own lives. Together, they discuss: * Understanding the nuanced relationship between confidence and doubt * How subtle avoidance strategies—even beneficial ones like somatic work—can unintentionally reinforce stuckness * The power of anger as a tool for clarity, decisiveness, and empowerment * Reframing doubt as something to embrace and learn from rather than to fear * Practical advice for moving through blocks related to self-doubt and perfectionism Send us your questions on Twitter, through our website, or in our Circle community!  Joe on X: @FU_JoeHudson  [https://x.com/FU_joehudson] Brett on X: @airkistler  [https://x.com/AirKistler] AOA on X: @artofaccomp  [https://x.com/artofaccomp] Visit Us: www.artofaccomplishment.com  [https://www.artofaccomplishment.com/?utm_source=podcast&utm_campaign=unravelingprocrastination] We invite you to experience our work.

We’re back with a coaching breakdown! In this episode, Joe and Brett dissect a rapid coaching session focused on self-love. They examine the subtle ways our guest has learned to turn away from himself in the presence of others and point out the breadcrumb trail he follows back to self-connection. This offers an opportunity for those of us watching to see ourselves more clearly and turn toward ourselves with love. Watch them explore the barriers and powerful moments of realization that help us move from self-criticism and doubt into genuine self-welcoming and love. Video of this session is available on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/n24xPZP1dmQ [https://youtu.be/n24xPZP1dmQ] WHAT WE COVER: * Recognizing and dismantling self-critical narratives * Practical steps for cultivating authentic self-love * How welcoming ourselves can dramatically shift our internal experience * The role of shame and vulnerability in self-acceptance * Why genuine self-love is a somatic, experiential practice Send us your questions on Twitter, through our website, or in our Circle community!

Attunement invites us to listen deeply not only to others but also to ourselves. But what, really, does it mean to attune? How does it work? What happens when you’re attuned? In this episode of The Art of Accomplishment, Tara Howley sits down with Janine Parziale to deep dive into the practice of attunement and discuss: * How attunement differs from basic active listening * Recognizing when we are genuinely attuned versus disconnected from ourselves and others * Practical ways attunement can improve communication and relationships in both personal and professional contexts * How attunement can transform conflicts and challenging dynamics into deeper connections * The risks and rewards of deep attunement Send us your questions on Twitter, through our website, or in our Circle community!  Joe on X: @FU_JoeHudson  [https://x.com/FU_joehudson] Brett on X: @airkistler [https://x.com/AirKistler]  AOA on X: @artofaccomp  Visit Us: www.artofaccomplishment.com  [https://www.artofaccomplishment.com/?utm_source=podcast&utm_campaign=WhatIsAttunement] We invite you to experience our work.
