Cultures of Change: Healing Our Identity

Welcome to the Cultures of Change Podcast where we are having conversations about 'Healing Our Identity'. We bring you the strategies and conscious thinking for you to grow your confidence and understand your abilities to create the future that you choose.For much of my life I carried the feeling that I wasn't Māori enough, growing up in Australia disconnected from my country and being immersed in my culture… that was until I realised everything I was yearning for was within me. My ancestors are a long line of proud Māori, my mana is strong and I am enough. Hi, I'm Erica McCreedy, a proud Ngati Raukawa and Te Aitanga-a-Hauiti woman living on Yugambeh land. I'm a cross-cultural communication consultant and have worked with hundreds of First Nations people globally. I'm the co-founder of Cultures of Change and I'm passionate about supporting Indigenous women to find their inner wisdom. These conversations draw on the power and knowledge of the strong women who have walked before us, the strong women to come, and those that walk alongside us.

Ep 17 - Receiving Praise

March 29, 2021 • Erica McCreedy • Season 1 • Episode 17

In episode 17, to receive praise or encouragement from another person. We're talking about these patterns of behaviors that have kept us moving on quickly when someone might want
to pause for a moment and really acknowledge us or something that we've done or how we've impacted them. And although we can receive it in the moment, we in our minds can quickly gloss over it and keep moving forward.

We're talking about if this is something that you're doing then where else are you blocking yourself off from gratitude or love to come your way. I'm acknowledging this as a habit that I have done for a very long time.

And I'm now consciously really acknowledging the two way exchange that happens when you are open to receiving praise from another and receiving support from another, you're actually giving it back to them tenfold.
