The Life Edit with Ranela

In this New Year, we are focusing on what it really takes to CHOOSE YOURSELF, every single time. In relationships, in career, major life choices and especially in our own mental health. The first step is to take a very honest look at your psychological landscape and audit the beliefs and stories you've patterned your nervous system to believe. Rewiring negative self-image is where we begin, because our relationship with the Self controls every other decision we make. *Limited 1:1 Coaching spots are now open and available !

Growing up in a pastor's family, she moved from state to state often, navigating the complexities of being an asian child of immigrants, the pressures of church expectations, purity culture, and being a woman in patriarchal society. Ranela went through several iterations of herself after her identity began to shatter in her late 20's, leaving her with the work of reconstructing it all from the ground up. She is passionate about sharing her story of resilience, giving her community permission to fail and learn, in their process of building self-trust and redefining their relationship with themselves. Ranela teaches women how to rebuild self-worth, release relationship anxiety, and confidently pursue their dreams.

This episode is an introduction to self-trust and the concept of "choosing yourself" as a way to reduce anxiety and fear of rejection.

If you’re going through your identity crisis currently and need a quick pep talk and encouragement, skip to the last 10min :) Then come back and listen to my full story of how my adult identity crisis developed from a pre-existing low self-worth identity in childhood, and all the ways I tried to escape it (that didn’t end up working, thank Oz). You’re not alone, and there’s always hope - and time is an illusion. Keep going friend.Follow me on IG: https://www.instagram.com/lifewithranela/Stay tuned for coaching, courses, and more ways to work together!About Ranela: Ranela Kaligithi is a therapist, coach, actor, and life enthusiast.

Welcome to Episode #1!!! You're my favorite people already 🥹 In this episode we dive into a little bit of my story and why I believe having a lot of "edits" in life are important and *necessary*. Pretending to have it all together the first time around is antithetical to being human :) Being human is about accepting our limited capacity, choosing to get back up, learn and grow with courage. That's where the real magic begins.Please subscribe, rate and review this pod -- and share it to your social media to spread the good vibes 🤙🏽Follow me on IG: https://www.instagram.com/lifewithranela/Stay tuned for coaching, courses, and more ways to work together!About Ranela: Ranela Kaligithi is a therapist, coach, actor, and life enthusiast.
