When Should We Give Advice? Jul 09, 2019

Show notes

When we care about people, we feel the urge to give them advice when they struggle. But sometimes we give advice when people don't want it, which can make them feel like we don't trust them to handle things on their own. They might just want us to listen and be present for them as they figure things out for themselves. If we do have important wisdom to share, we can always ask the people we care about if they would to like to hear our opinion. This way, we can respect their boundaries and make sure that, if we do give them advice, they will feel supported and loved.

Are You Tired Of Feeling Dissatisfied? Jul 02, 2019

Show notes

So many of us feel dissatisfaction with some aspect of our lives. When we think about achieving our goals or bettering our lives, we can feel as if our lives are not good enough today. Of course, there is nothing wrong with striving to better ourselves, but it sometimes can come at the cost of overlooking the glory of what is right in front of us. Our entire lives can open up if we recognize that this moment is enough. Now, this doesn't mean we shouldn't try to improve our lives, but allowing this moment to be enough is a key to joy and satisfaction. It also allows us to be our most creative selves. As we embrace everything that is possible right now, we create the perfect springboard for a brighter future.

Just Be Quiet! Jun 26, 2019

Show notes

Our friends and family can tell us their opinions on what to say, where to go, and what to do, but only we can know the lives we truly desire. However, many of us don't take the time to be quiet so that we can come to know who we are and what we want. We don't realize that through the quiet we can feel our passions, our desires, and our peace. We can cultivate a true understanding of our individual life purpose, finding more joy and success in the days to come. Listen to this podcast to find out how you can find some quiet in your life!

Are Your Life Lessons Holding You Back? Jun 18, 2019

Show notes

Most of us have had an unexpected or painful experience in our lives from which we've tried to mine lessons or morals to help us move forward. But sometimes we aren't able to find true wisdom because we get stuck in the story of who or what hurt us. And then we use these stories to try to avoid the pain in the future. Yet eventually, the stories hold us back. It is only the wisdom that we cultivate from these experiences—whether it be greater self-love or resilience—that acts as the true light, leading us to new possibilities.

When You're Upset You Can First Self-Text Jun 10, 2019

Show notes

Self-texting is therapeutic. Sit down and text yourself when your emotions are running high or when you need to express yourself without worrying about how it will make someone else feel. When you send the text to yourself (instead of the original intended recipient), you get the opportunity to not only say what you need to say but to also press send! Then, when you receive the text, you have the time to read it and consider how the words sound. You get the space to cool off and be more thoughtful about how you communicate. Sometimes you might decide that these words do not serve you—sometimes you want to use other ones. And sometimes, you realize that you don't need to send anything at all. Self-texting is an easy way to create less drama in our lives!

A Technique To Let Go Even For A Moment Jun 04, 2019

Show notes

Over the course of a day, many of us accumulate all of the emotions we feel. We have trouble letting things go. In this podcast, I share a technique to help you put down the hurts, stresses, and disappointments even just for a moment so that you may enjoy what is in front of you. This technique will give you more space from your thoughts to help you achieve your goals and find joy in everyday life.

Moving Forward When An Ending Is Painful May 28, 2019

Show notes

Endings can be so difficult and unexpected. We can lose a job, a relationship, a loved one, or our health. Regardless of what the circumstances are, endings can leave us devastated and directionless. During these times, it is best to remember that with every end eventually comes a new beginning. Maybe life will be better naturally or Maybe we need to make the best of whatever happened. Either way, uncertainty can be our best friend because it leads us to new possibilities if we are willing to keep our hearts open to all that can be.

Just Because Someone Said It To You, Doesn't Make It True May 23, 2019

Show notes

People can say all kinds of stuff about us—about our looks, our intelligence, or even job prospects. And sometimes, it can be hurtful. However, we need to always remember that, just because someone says something about us, it doesn't mean it's true. In order for us to figure out what we should believe (and not believe), we need to be able to value ourselves enough to explore how we truly feel and what really resonates with us. We must clear away the outside chatter to allow ourselves to find our own truths.

Creating The World That You Want To See May 15, 2019

Show notes

We all have a vision of how we want the world to be. Most of us want to see more love and kindness— both in our daily lives and in the world. At the same time, many of us feel like we need to protect ourselves from a world that is cruel and uncaring. But if we close our hearts, we disconnect from that loving vision we have for both our lives and the world. An open heart may feel more pain, but it also has the unparalleled capacity to cultivate loving strength and resilience and inspire action to create the world that we truly want to see.

Life Is Always Pulling Us Forward Even When We Feel Stuck May 07, 2019

Show notes

Life is always calling us forward, but sometimes we don't listen. We stand still and say 'this is my life, this is who I am, and this is what I do.' But life isn't stagnant—things change, we lose jobs, relationships end, we get hurt. When life changes and we are standing still, stuck in how we thought life would be, we can miss life trying to guide us towards the beauty of the moment and new opportunities that might come our way.
