From stuck to unstuck - how you can move from fear into action, and how to make your mind’s chatter your new best friend!

Feeling stuck? Sick of fear getting the best of you when you need to take action?

Clinical Psychologist Dr Patricia Zurita may just be able to give you a key to your freedom.

In this amazing episode of Ellis in Wunderland, we get curious with Dr Z and explore ways to help us get comfortable with the uncomfortable and shift us into action when we are overwhelmed by fear and feeling locked in.

With her beautiful analogy of a coin, she encourages us to imagine our problems differently.

“If you imagine being stuck on one side of the coin, what is the stuff on the other side? What is the stuckness trying to show you?”

From this perspective, the other side of the coin is the stuff we care about and have just forgotten how to access.

And lucky for us, Dr Z provides us with some great wisdom and practical exercises to help us recognise what’s on the other side, and shift into action despite all the mind’s chatter.
​
Dr Z has worked as a in the field of Psychology for over sixteen years helping clients get unstuck from problems related to fear-based struggles, and is the author of several books including ‘ACT beyond OCD: An Acceptance and Commitment Therapy workbook for adults’ and ‘Parenting a troubled teen: using acceptance and commitment therapy’.

If you experience anxiety, are sick of feeling stuck, need some tips to move into action or are sick of fighting against your own mind, then this is the episode for you.

Maurice is the Founder and CEO of JuJu App, a platform to bring his mission to create positive workplace cultures to life, through the power of appreciation.  Maurice's journey into appreciation began when his younger brother Julien started giving him JuJu points, as a way to thank him. Along the way, he realised the power of appreciation to create great relationships, and productive teams.

Maurice takes us through the importance of daily appreciation and how it can significantly transform your life and relationships. Just like a muscle, a daily practice of gratitude and appreciation can help you see all the blessings in your life and help to build powerful teams! By strengthening our practice of appreciation, we are able to see the positive in the difficult times, and even difficult people.

Have you ever found yourself feeling as though there has to be more to life? 

On a surface level you may have everything you had hoped for, however on a deep level you are lacking a sense of true purpose and meaning.  

Rewind back to 2017 and Damon Valentino found himself just here. Being a successful coach, Founder of Side Street Performance Coaching, Co- Founder of Morrow, and running programs across the world to better peoples lives, Damon found himself feeling confused that he had all he ever wanted, but was lacking true fulfilment.  

Damon made small changes that didn’t seem to work, and it was then that he knew it would take radical action to change life as he knew it.   

Damon walks us through his journey from what seemed like having it all, to selling all his belongings and travelling across the globe with his family where he immersed himself in the magic wonders of the world.  

Damon speaks about how you can find meaning in even the most unexpected places, and how it is not about the things you have, but rather the moments you get to experience and share on this earth.  

If you are craving more fulfilment in your life, Damon breaks down what it took for him to take bold action, how he packed up his life, and what he discovered in between. Damon’s advice will encourage you to lead with your heart, and show you how being courageous can change your life!
