This week we discuss the 2 main types of identity and how they are tied to the stories we tell about ourselves AND to our nervous system patterns.
And we discuss how to separate your nervous system patterns from your identity because...
You are not your survival pattern!
Your survival pattern is just an adaptation to help you cope in life. And did you know, that your survival pattern can actually block you from connecting with your true identity and creating a stress-free life? 🤯
Join me this week to learn how and why this happens. And what to do about it!
And if you haven't yet taken the values assessment test, the link is below. ⬇️

Do you know your core identity? The values that make you you?
When you describe yourself to other people, do you tell them what you do? Or do you tell them who you really are?
Sometimes it can be tricky to separate ourselves and our identity from our labels or the roles we play in this life.
But it's part of the work required to live a stress-free life.
This week we explore the difference between identity and roles, and I invite you to take a values assessment test to start learning more about your true self.
Your journey to self-connection is going to be as amazing as your are.

Dare to Dream
Dr. Amy Grimm is a veterinarian, certified life coach, anti-burnout advocate and founder of Daring DVM Coaching and host of the Daring DVM Podcast. She is on a mission to reshape mental health in the veterinary field by inspiring others and teaching them how to create a healthy mindset and become resilient AF.
She has served in industry, public health, research, private practice, and was a Medical Director of a companion animal hospital for several years, before making the leap into entrepreneurship and coaching.
It was through her own struggles with burnout and life-work balance that Dr. Amy discovered coaching and realized the profound positive effects in her own life. Her own transformation inspired her to become a coach herself, so that she could help others who are struggling, just like she once was.
Today she coaches busy, burned-out professionals and helps them transform their lives and fall in love with their careers again. She also still does the doctory things she loves by providing HVHQSN and surgical relief services. Dr. Amy and her fiancé live in Grass Valley, CA. They enjoy everything outdoorsy, including backpacking, bike-packing, peak-bagging, running ultras, and racing on their tandem mountain bike. They share their home with their derpy Catahoula-Aussie-mix, Jake, and elderly entitled Pug, Berkels.
"I love who you are, and even more than that, I love who you are becoming.
Dare to dream."
