Hi! I'm Iviana Bynum.

Do you lack a support system? Here's what to do.

Published about 2 years ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader,

Last week, a simple hello to my coach turned into a 7:30 am coaching call. I wasn't mentally prepared but I was there for it.

I'm always there for growth. Even if it means getting dressed, brushing my teeth, and preparing breakfast for the kids before a 9am client meeting all while getting down to the bottom of deep-rooted issues. 😅

Coaches must get coached too.

I shared everything with her that's been going on, down to the painful moments from two months ago that I was still holding grudges about.

I thought I knew what I needed, and there I was, completely wrong and amazed all at once by the realization I had with her.

"Do you hear that? Oh, that's good. Write that down 50 times until you've rewired your brain around it," she stated.

I share more about that story in my newest podcast episode. Yes, finally after 2 years of no episodes, Season 3 of Grace for Breakfast is in full swing!

Does the fact that you don't have a strong support system hurt you and make you feel isolated and alone? Or perhaps the people around you who should be supportive have proven to be unreliable.

In this episode, I'll teach you:

  • Two limiting beliefs holding you back from being productive
  • How to shift your focus when feeling unsupported or limited
  • How to deal with the lack of a support system
  • How to seek out a support system and the type of people to seek—an excerpt from the Envision Workshop!
  • A reflection to reframe your conversations around lack of support

I'll also share a balanced approach to vulnerability, the narratives that are blocking you and your connections, and much more!

"Oh Father, give me the words." That's what I end up telling myself as I draft the beginning of an email. It's hard to start these when I have so much to say and some time has passed. But when you're among friends.. Happy New Year and Happy Friday Reader! The end of year scaries that try to kick in for many people didn't get a chance to stick around for me because I was too busy fighting off the flu with my entire family. New Year's Eve was spent holding a giant bowl under my daughter's mouth...

healing from sexual trauma

Trigger Warning: This episode contains content related to sexual trauma, rape, and abuse. Listeners, please beware. Anyone who is sensitive to this topic please be advised that I’ll be talking about some of the incidents that occurred that day. Reader, I've shuffled back and forth for the past three or four days debating whether or not I should share this story with you. I've never gone this deep before. You know I've been through some stuff but most of it has been vague for the most part....

Every person faces trauma in a different way—either now or later when it comes unexpectedly. It’s true for many of us. Trauma happens and the results can be ugly. Some of us have the support needed. Some of us numb it out. Some of us suffer silently. Reader, thank you for the well-messages after my email last month and for the encouragement to keep doing what I’m doing. In the past, I would have just hidden away in my cocoon and never invited you into what was happening in my inner world....
