Can you take on feedback, especially when it’s something you don’t want to hear?

Most of us want to grow, change and create better results in our lives.

But before we can change what isn’t working, we have to be willing to SEE what isn’t working.

And sometimes that means hearing uncomfortable feedback.

In this episode of the Life Actually, we talk about the difference between criticism and constructive feedback, why feedback can trigger shame, defensiveness or anger, and how learning to receive it can become one of your greatest tools for personal growth.

Because feedback doesn’t automatically mean:

“You’re a bad person.”

“You’ve failed.”

“There’s something wrong with you.”

Sometimes it simply means:

There’s a pattern, behaviour or limitation here that you now have an opportunity to work on.

We also explore why perfectionism can make feedback especially difficult, how to consider WHO the feedback is coming from, and why you can still look for something useful even when feedback isn’t delivered perfectly.

The goal isn’t to become the perfect version of yourself.

It’s to keep becoming a better version of yourself.

This is the kind of work we do regularly inside the Wellness Breakthrough Academy, helping people recognise what may be sitting underneath their behaviours, take responsibility for what they can change, and develop practical ways to move forward.

Most parenting advice lives at one extreme or the other.

Be there for your children every step of the way.

Or step back and let them figure everything out themselves.

But what if healthy parenting isn't about choosing one or the other?

It's about balance.

We believe children need four things:

1. Connection - Knowing they're loved, valued and supported.

2. Independence - Building the confidence to make their own decisions.

3. Interdependence - Learning how to give and receive support in relationships.

4. Healthy dependence - Knowing it's okay to ask for help when they need it.

Because the goal isn't to raise children who always need us.

And it isn't to raise children who believe they have to do everything alone.

It's to help them become confident, capable people who know when to stand on their own and when to lean on others.

And here's something worth thinking about…

Sometimes the way we parent comes from the patterns we learned growing up.

That's why personal growth isn't just about our children becoming better versions of themselves.

It's about us growing alongside them.

Inside the Wellness Breakthrough Academy, this is the kind of inner work we support people with, recognising the patterns influencing their relationships, building self-awareness and learning how to consciously create healthier connections.

Because when we work on our inner world, we can change how we show up for the people who matter most.

So here's our question for you…

How are you showing up in your family today? ❤️

How connection, independence and healthy support help children grow into confident, capable adults. Parenting advice often swings between extremes.

We’re so excited to finally share this. ❤️

Yesterday, Jason and Anja held the very first physical proof copy of their new book in their hands.

After all the writing, editing, rewriting and conversations, years of working with people and their relationships, and the work they have also put into their own relationship, breaking through their own patterns along the way, it suddenly became very real.

408 pages. Over 90,000 words.

Today, we can finally reveal the name of the book…

FIND YOUR ONE

Creating a Relationship That Lasts

Over the years, one thing has become very clear through our work at Wellness Breakthrough Academy: most of us were never really shown how to create a healthy, fulfilling relationship.

We repeat patterns. We get caught in dynamics we don’t always understand. We can mistake certain things for love, connection or compatibility. Sometimes we know something isn’t working, yet we don’t quite understand why or know how to change it.

Find Your One explores the many different things that shape who we choose, how we show up in relationships, why relationships can lose their quality, and what needs to change if we want to create something different.

It’s for people who are single and want to understand themselves before choosing again.

It’s also for people who are already in a relationship and know there is more possible, more connection, more understanding, more intimacy, more depth and more quality.

Today we’re sharing a little peek inside with some of the chapter titles. 👀

The cover reveal is coming very soon. ❤️

We can’t wait to share more.

Here's an interesting question to ask yourself…

What division are your current habits qualifying you for?

We all have things we want to achieve.

Better relationships.
Better health.
More success.
Greater confidence.
A different quality of life.

But wanting to play at a higher level and actually developing yourself to play there are two very different things.

You can't keep showing up with the same habits, the same reactions and the same patterns and automatically expect different results.

Sometimes, moving to the next level requires greater discipline, resilience, consistency and a willingness to do things differently.

And that starts with SELF-AWARENESS.

Being willing to look at yourself and recognise:

"I'm saying I want one thing, but my everyday actions are creating something completely different."

That's not about judging yourself or focusing on what's wrong.

It's about recognising where you are, understanding what's influencing your choices and consciously developing the person you want to become.

Because personal growth isn't just something you do when life isn't working.

It's something you continually practise.

Just like going to the gym to strengthen your body, you can develop your inner world to build the confidence, awareness and resilience needed to create the life you want.

This is the kind of work we support people with inside the Wellness Breakthrough Academy, providing practical tools and ongoing opportunities to recognise patterns, develop inner mastery and consciously create change.

Because the next level of your life may require the next version of YOU.

What area of your life are you ready to "move up a division" in?

Sometimes the voice in your head didn’t start as YOUR voice.

“Be careful.”

“Don’t do that.”

“What if something goes wrong?”

Hear those messages often enough and, without even realising it, they can become part of the way you see the world.

You start looking for what could go wrong before considering what could go RIGHT.

You hesitate.

You overthink.

You doubt yourself.

And eventually, a pattern you may not have consciously chosen starts influencing your decisions, relationships and the opportunities you’re willing to take.

This is why self-awareness matters.

It gives you the opportunity to stop living on autopilot and ask:

Is there genuinely something I need to be mindful of here… or is an old pattern expecting the worst before I’ve even begun?

Being aware doesn’t mean ignoring risks or making irresponsible choices.

It means learning to recognise what’s influencing you so YOU can consciously decide what happens next.

Inside the Wellness Breakthrough Academy, we help people recognise and understand the patterns running their lives so they can begin choosing differently.

Because personal growth isn’t only about fixing something that’s wrong.

It’s about continually developing your inner world and becoming the person who consciously creates the life you want. ❤️

Sometimes the scariest thing isn’t what’s actually happening… it’s what’s happening in our head.

How many times have you built something up in your mind, imagined everything that could go wrong, felt all the fear…

Then actually done it and thought:

“That was way fu***ng scarier in my head!!”

We can create what we call phantom fears, fears that feel incredibly real, even when there may be no evidence in the present moment that what we’re afraid of is actually going to happen.

And sometimes it’s worth getting curious about where that fear is coming from.

Within our work, we also explore the belief that some fears may feel like echoes of experiences beyond this lifetime, which can offer one perspective on why a fear can feel so intense even when we can’t immediately explain it.

Whatever you believe about where your fear comes from, the important question is:

Is this fear responding to what’s actually happening right now, or is something deeper driving it?

Inside the Wellness Breakthrough Academy, this is the kind of inner work we explore, helping people become more aware of what sits underneath their fears and patterns so they can stop automatically allowing them to control their choices.

Because sometimes the fear in your head becomes a hell of a lot bigger than the thing itself.

We all have things we say we want.

A better relationship.
Better health.
More success.
Deeper connections.
A different quality of life.

But wanting something and becoming the person who can create it are two very different things.

Take a look at the way you’re living each day.

Your habits.
Your choices.
Your reactions.
The patterns you keep repeating.

Are they supporting the life you say you want?

Or are you running on autopilot and wondering why nothing seems to change?

Sometimes the next step isn’t another goal, another plan or another promise to yourself.

It’s becoming more aware of what you’re already doing, and choosing differently.

Because your life changes as you change.

This is what we mean by inner mastery inside the Wellness Breakthrough Academy, becoming aware of the patterns running your life and learning how to consciously change them.

It’s not just about fixing what’s wrong. It’s about continually developing yourself and becoming the person who creates the life you want. ❤️

What’s one everyday habit you could change that would move you closer to the life you want?

Funny how the thing that once terrified you can eventually become effortless.

Going to Pilates alone might sound like no big deal to someone else.

But when it’s new, unfamiliar and outside your comfort zone?

It can feel bloody scary!!

Then you do it once.

And again.

And again.

Until suddenly, the thing you were scared to do becomes something you’re doing 5 or 6 days a week without even thinking about it.

That’s what can happen when you stop allowing fear to make the decision for you.

You prove to yourself:

“I can do this.”

And little by little, you build confidence, self-trust and a greater sense of freedom.

Inside the Wellness Breakthrough Academy, this is the kind of inner work we support people with, recognising what sits underneath the fears that keep us stuck and developing the awareness and tools to move through them.

Sometimes your breakthrough doesn’t come from waiting until you’re no longer scared.

Sometimes it comes from doing the thing while you’re scared… until one day, it isn’t scary anymore.

So what’s something outside your comfort zone that you’ve been avoiding?

Your health is about so much more than just your physical body.

We can get so focused on what we should eat, how much we should exercise or what we need to change physically that we forget to look at the person living inside that body.

Your thoughts.
Your emotions.
Your beliefs.
Your behaviours.
The patterns you keep repeating.

Sometimes, instead of simply pushing through or trying harder, it can be helpful to get curious about what feels out of balance and what might need more attention.

Because our outer life is influenced by our inner world, and developing that inner world is just as important as working on the things we can see.

This is the kind of thing we explore in our Health Masterclasses inside the Wellness Breakthrough Academy, helping people understand that lasting health is about much more than simply knowing what we “should” do.

Where in your life do you feel you need a little more balance right now?

What if the thing you’re afraid of is actually showing you where you need to grow?

Fear can make us freeze.

It can make us stay comfortable, hold back, overthink and try to control what happens next.

But something powerful can happen when you start walking towards the things that scare you.

You do the thing you thought you couldn’t do… and suddenly you realise:

“I did that.”

And that experience starts building something within you.

Confidence.
Self-trust.
Freedom.

What feels terrifying to you might seem completely ordinary to someone else, and that’s okay.

Have compassion for where YOU are, but don’t let fear decide where you stay.

As Jason says inside the Wellness Breakthrough Academy:

“Fear is a candle that lights your highway to freedom.”

This is the kind of inner work we support people with inside the Wellness Breakthrough Academy, recognising what sits underneath our fears, understanding what they mean to us, and developing the awareness and tools to move through them rather than allowing them to keep us stuck.

So ask yourself:

What are you scared of right now, and what could become possible if you walked towards it?
