Embrace Your Extraordinary Self with Deidre Dattoli

0  comments

How could things be different in your life, career or business if you embraced your extraordinary?

So many of us go through life only considering certain parts of ourselves as valuable, making it challenging to feel expansive enough to achieve all our dreams.

But there is a way to change this.

My guest today, Deidre Dattoli, is here to share with us how we can embrace our whole, extraordinary selves in order to live in a way that truly lights us up. 

Deidre is an author, professional certified coach, educator and emotional intelligence practitioner. She is also the co-founder of Embrace Your Extraordinary, a transformative global education and inspiration space dedicated to empowering people to embrace their extraordinary potential and live their most extraordinary lives. 

Deidre’s mission is not just about helping people create positive and sustainable change, but inspiring them to dream bigger and embrace their extraordinary potential.

In this episode, she shares her journey of realising she was already extraordinary just by being alive, and how this took her from a career as a corporate exec to pursuing a life that aligned with her true nature. She also gives us insight into how we can find the balance between wellness, having the energy to show up, aliveness and feeling fulfilled. 

Embracing Your Extraordinary

What does it actually mean to embrace your extraordinary self? According to Deidre, it’s about accepting all facets of who we are and realising the potential and possibilities within us. Embracing our true nature allows us to unlock our full potential and live a life that’s not just about doing but being—feeling alive and fulfilled. Deirdre highlights the importance of loving and nurturing every part of ourselves, which in turn helps us achieve our dreams and goals. For those who find themselves only embracing certain parts of their nature, she offers a reminder of the importance of integration and harmony within oneself.

Wellness, Aliveness and Legacy

We chat about wellness, which Deidre believes is all about unlocking energy through the unity of our physical body, mindset and heart set. It’s more than just healthy eating; it’s a holistic approach that ensures vibrancy and vitality. Aliveness is described as the sense of being lit up from within, feeling passionate and aligned with our true selves. This internal glow is infectious and positively affects those around us. The legacy is the lasting effect we have on the world. By embracing wellness and aliveness, we create a ripple effect that influences others and contributes to a higher consciousness and a better world.

Practical Wisdom 

Deirdre offers practical advice that she wishes she had learned earlier in life, which she now teaches her children. She emphasises the importance of being mindful of our thoughts, treating ourselves with kindness and embracing growth through making mistakes. She suggests centering oneself through breathwork and focusing on the desired outcome of any situation to stay present and reduce anxiety. 

Deirdre’s perspective is beautifully centred on gratitude and presence, and a powerful reminder that we are all extraordinary simply by being here. 

I encourage you to get curious during this conversation about where fear might be keeping you small. Ask yourself: if you were to embrace the fact that you already are extraordinary, what possibilities could be created for you in your life?
