Happy Holidays!

This is my holiday episode which happens to be all about quitting … legit. My guest today is Jacqui Acree, a highly sensitive enneagram 8, a self-compassion advocate and an accidental self-help disruptor. 

Jacqui and I dive into the concept of quitting, what it means, what it doesn’t and why we are so averse to quitting some things and so apt to quit others. We also question why quitters sometimes win and not the age old adage, ‘winners never quit’.

Through a blend of EFT tapping and parts of self work, Jacqui helps women unlearn old patterns of perfecting, pleasing, proving, and performing so that they can unlock their most authentic self. She’s the founder of Being Human Together, an online course community for highly sensitive women who are waking up to the truth: if being hard on yourself worked, it would have worked by now.

Key Quotes from Jacqui Acree:

• “I think that quitting is a verb, it is not an identity.”
• “I walked around like a disembodied head for the first 4 decades of my life, just thinking my way through things and expecting my body to get on board and follow along.”
• “We are taught that intuition is not a good source of information.”
• “You are allowed to stop.”
• “If being hard on yourself worked, it would have worked a long time ago.”
• Ask yourself, “do I want to quit because this is hard, or do I want to quit because this is wrong?”
• “Do not make your decisions based on the past, make them based on future intentions.”
• “How do you quit when quitting is often judged.”
• “Ask your future self for the now answers. Listen to what that version of you has to say.”

RECLAIM – A 7-Day Eco-luxe retreat for Women: 

April 8-15, 2023: Puerto Vallarta, Mx

Shirlee Williams and I couldn’t be more excited to offer this retreat experience at Xinalani — one of our favorite retreat locations. It’s simply magical. The most beautiful blend of eco, luxe, jungle and ocean. This retreat is a balance between self discovery, yoga, meditation, laughter, mindfulness, adventure, connection and sisterhood. Whether you are choosing to read a book in your hammock while sipping dark roast cinnamon coffee (yes, it’s a thing) or up early to watch the sunrise and walk the beach, this is your time.

We are both personal development coaches who come with different backgrounds  – who unite on so many levels in the way we work, teach, practice and lead. We love to co-facilitate retreats and the feedback from prior experiences has been extraordinary and deeply gratifying.
