10 MINUTES TO LESS SUFFERING

Emotional Balance Under Pressure: Capacity and Choice Jan 09, 2026

Feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or under constant pressure? This episode of Ten Minutes to Less Suffering explores how to stay emotionally balanced when life feels heavy, uncertain, and nonstop. The focus is on stress, anxiety, emotional overload, and the way the nervous system struggles when there is no time to recover.

The episode introduces the idea of capacity, meaning how much inner space is available to think, feel, pause, and respond instead of react. When that space disappears, even small decisions can feel exhausting. Through mindfulness-based insights and simple awareness practices, the episode highlights how emotional pressure builds quietly over time and how creating even a small amount of inner room can reduce suffering.

Key themes include calming the nervous system, reducing anxiety, letting go of self blame, and separating personal identity from current life experiences. The episode also explores how acceptance, compassion, and emotional awareness can restore balance, clarity, and resilience during stressful periods.

This episode is for anyone experiencing stress, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, burnout, or mental exhaustion. It is especially helpful for people navigating uncertainty, carrying unresolved emotional weight, feeling stuck, or seeking mindfulness tools for emotional healing, nervous system regulation, and inner peace.

Poem: The Weight of Holding

There is a weight that does not come from pain, but from holding.

Holding the past after it is long gone. Holding the future before it arrives. Holding ourselves to stories that say this moment should be different from what it is.

But today we can set something down.

Not the whole burden, just one unnecessary thought. One quiet argument with reality. One belief that this moment defines us.

And in that small opening, maybe something shifts.

Breath can return. The nervous system can soften. Our hearts can remember they were never meant to carry everything at once.

We are not what is happening. We are the space where it is happening.

And for now, that can be enough room for less suffering.

A grounding listen for anyone seeking less stress, less suffering, and more emotional balance in 2026.

A Poem: The Root of the Problem

Problems arrive demanding space, noisy and persistent, echoes of repetition.

They lodge with a sense of permanence

Yet time moves anyway, a force beyond even a problem's grasp, guiding change, softening urgency, leaving without notice.

What remains, often, is not what demanded attention.

It is the love that stayed. The heart that kept beating. The steadiness that did not announce itself. Life held together in the quiet nature of the moment.

Remembering often arrives late, the quiet recognition that what felt consuming was temporary,

and what felt ordinary was doing the real work.

Problems pass. What roots us does not.

How To Keep Perspective When Life Feels Stressful Dec 12, 2025

Life can feel heavy when stress, worry, and daily challenges take over our perspective.

In this episode of 10 Minutes to Less Suffering, I talk about how easily we lose the larger view of our lives and how that loss of perspective can quietly steal joy, peace, and appreciation for what we have. When we are caught in the moment, even small problems can feel overwhelming.

I share simple, practical ways to hold a larger perspective, including acceptance, working with uncertainty, and remembering that everything is always changing. These practices can help daily stress feel lighter and allow space for gratitude and possibility, even during difficult moments.

In this episode, I explore • Why stress narrows our perspective • How daily challenges can feel heavier than they need to • How acceptance can soften difficult moments • How the maybe mindset can reduce anxiety • How to hold pain and gratitude at the same time

This episode is for anyone feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or weighed down by life. You do not have to deny your feelings to find perspective. You can feel what you feel and still stay open to joy, meaning, and hope.

This is an encore episode and an important reminder that even when life feels hard, a larger perspective can help you breathe easier, stay grounded, and remember that you will find your way. And maybe, the best is yet to come.

Poem: A Larger View

This moment feels heavy. It asks for all of your attention.

But life is bigger than this moment. Bigger than this worry. Bigger than what feels unresolved.

You have been here before. You have doubted. You have worried. And still, you found your way.

Hold what hurts without letting it take everything with it.

Let this moment exist without letting it define your whole day or your whole life.

There is love here too. There is something steady beneath the noise.

You do not need to solve everything now. You only need to widen the view.

This will pass. Something else will come.

And maybe, even now, everything is still okay.

Self Love: A Key To Getting Over Heartbreak And Letting Go Of The Past Dec 05, 2025

Many of us believe that if we could gather every detail of what happened, why someone acted the way they did, or why love fell apart, our stress and anxiety would disappear.

This encore episode explores how releasing the need to know and the need to be right is an important part of healing heartbreak and creating space for calm, clarity, and inner peace.

How To Stay Aligned When You Feel Like Everything Is Pulling You Off Center Nov 21, 2025

Feeling pulled in a million directions? In today's fast-paced world, it is easy to lose your center, your clarity, and your sense of who you truly are. This episode explores two powerful concepts that can help you reconnect with yourself: resonance and coherence.

This is the space where grounded decision making, calm, and genuine self-connection can thrive.

With relatable examples, simple practices, and a calming guided reflection, this episode will help you: • Reset when stress, relationships, or the world feel overwhelming • Recognize the difference between familiar patterns and true inner alignment • Stop chasing validation or certainty outside yourself • Return to your center with breath, awareness, and compassion • Build coherence so your actions match your true intentions

If you are craving grounding, clarity, and a deeper connection to yourself, this 10 minute reset offers a supportive space to come home to who you are.

Stay aligned. Stay centered. Let coherence guide the way. The more you return to yourself, the more possibilities open.

Poem: Return to Center

In the rush of the world where noise piles on noise and every choice feels heavier than the last, I come back to this small, quiet space.

A breath. A moment. A chance to return to the center I forget I have.

Here, I remember that life does not ask me to be perfect. It only asks me to be present. To notice the way my heart softens when I stop chasing what was never meant to steady me.

Resonance may call me outward, but coherence brings me home. A rhythm in my chest that whispers, You are safe. You are enough. You can gently return to yourself.

So I sit with the truth that peace is not far away. It is never far away. It waits beneath the noise, beneath the wanting, beneath the stories I tell to feel less afraid.

In these ten minutes I choose to trust that I can suffer a little less and live a little more right here, inside this breath.

Just Because A Thought Is Real Doesn't Mean It's True Oct 28, 2025

Our thoughts are real, but not always true. This episode invites listeners to look beyond the stories the mind creates and find freedom from worry, stress, and self-doubt. Through mindfulness and gentle awareness, it offers a path to calm and clarity in uncertain moments. Listeners are encouraged to trust that every thought can be met with curiosity and compassion, opening the way to inner peace, resilience, and a deeper sense of hope for what is possible.

Poem: Our Thoughts Are Real, But Not Always True

Our thoughts rise like waves on an endless sea, shaping the shore of who we think we are. They rush in, fierce and convincing, pulling us into stories of what might break, what might never come, what might already be lost.

They feel real because they are. They move through the body, tighten the chest, quicken the breath, stir the storm.

But truth lives somewhere quieter. It waits beneath the noise, in the still water that holds every wave. It asks nothing but a pause, a single breath, a question whispered to the mind: Is this thought true?

The unknown is not our enemy. It is the open sky that can let every cloud of thought drift by. Calm is not something we find, but something we remember.

In the space between belief and truth, there is peace. There is possibility. And there we can be, the sky, not the storm.

Take ten minutes to breathe, reflect, and remember that you are not separate from life. You are part of it, and within that connection, there is always a way forward.

Poem: Life Is Still With You

When the path breaks open beneath your feet, and everything you planned disappears into air, pause. The world is still breathing with you. The sunrise does not forget your name. The wind still carries new beginnings.

Life is not against you. It moves through you, even now in every breath, in every quiet act of courage, in every small moment you choose to begin again.

How Fear of the Future Steals Your Joy| Overcoming Performance Anxiety Sep 05, 2025

As I approach the one-year anniversary of my TEDx talk, I'm reminded of an important lesson about fear, uncertainty, and love. Preparing for the talk stirred up tremendous stress and anxiety—not because I was unprepared, but because I became attached to the belief that everything had to be perfect.

In this episode, explore:

● Why fear often arises when we refuse to accept uncertainty

● How to clarify your goals and separate fear from the present moment

● Ways the "Maybe practice" opens doors to creativity and possibility

● How to shift from fear into presence, gratitude, and love

Suffering often comes from clinging to fixed outcomes. When we accept uncertainty as a friend, we create space for joy and new opportunities.

Ideal for anyone facing high-stakes presentations, important events, or struggling with perfectionism and performance anxiety.

Do We Need To Forgive To Move On? Aug 15, 2025

Forgiving someone can feel especially hard when they never apologize or try to make things right. Even when we want to release the pain, the hurt can linger. In this episode, we explore a different way forward that helps you move beyond old wounds and make space for fresh joy, hope, and possibility.

Do We Create The Distance To Our Happiness? Aug 07, 2025

When we resist the present moment because it doesn't match our expectations, we create distance from our happiness. We tell stories about how things should be or fear what the future might hold, and in doing so, we miss the value and possibility in what's actually here.

When we accept what is and remember that uncertainty is a space of unlimited potential, we become more present, open, and available. This not only helps us get the most out of the moment, it is also a powerful recipe for creating a better future.

Affirmation:

I accept this moment as it is, and I trust that uncertainty holds the potential for something beautiful. I release the stories that create distance from my happiness and stay open to all that life has to offer.

Fix Ourselves or Be Ourselves? Jul 30, 2025

In today's episode of Ten Minutes to Less Suffering, I explore the difference between constantly trying to fix ourselves and learning to fully inhabit who we already are. When we stop searching for solutions outside ourselves and begin to listen inwardly, we return to a place of clarity, presence, and strength.

Affirmation:

I don't chase wholeness. I remember it. Even in heartbreak, in silence, in longing—Wholeness was never gone.

I am not a problem to solve. I am not waiting to be rescued. Even when I ache, I am not less. Even when I stumble, I am not lost.

I begin here. As I am. Breathing. Listening. Living.

Healing is not becoming someone new. It is the soft, honest return to who I've always been.

I can spend my life trying to fix myself… Or I can finally choose to be myself. One is endless effort. The other is freedom. I want to be free.

Here I am. Not fixing. Just being. And Maybe that… is enough.

The Pain Of Uncertainty Isn't Proof That Anything Is Wrong Jul 25, 2025

Inspired by a talk from spiritual teacher Guy Finley, this episode explores the idea that "the pain of uncertainty is not proof that something is wrong." We often resist the unknown, assuming discomfort means danger or failure. But what if uncertainty isn't the problem—what if it's the path?

This episode invites you to shift your relationship with not knowing, release the false comfort of control, and discover the peace and possibility that live in presence. The unknown isn't the enemy—it might just be the beginning of something greater.

Emptiness Leads To Fullness Jul 11, 2025

To celebrate 300 episodes of Ten Minutes to Less Suffering, I'm revisiting one of the most meaningful episodes in the series.

Inspired by a passage from the Tao Te Ching, this episode explores how the empty spaces in our lives—moments of uncertainty, loss, or stillness—can become the starting point for growth, creativity, and true fulfillment.

We often rush to fill the void, but what if that emptiness is exactly where our next beginning lives? What if the unknown holds the very thing we've been waiting for?

Are You In Your Softness Or Survival? Jul 03, 2025

This episode explores the powerful difference between living from softness and reacting from survival. While we may long for peaceful, supportive surroundings, life doesn't always cooperate. So how do we stay grounded and open when the world around us feels loud, rushed, or harsh?

Because softness isn't about weakness—it's about strength rooted in presence, gratitude, and trust.

Are You Stuck In One Way Thinking? Apr 25, 2025

Sometimes we regret not selling that stock. Sometimes we wish we could return to a relationship that's no longer in our lives. Other times, we force ourselves to love a job we hate or stay with someone we know isn't right—hoping things will somehow change.

This week's episode invites you to let go of "one way" thinking and open up to life and all its possibilities. Maybe there's more waiting for you than you ever imagined.

It's Easier To Be Patient Once We Finally Accept There Is No Resolution Apr 18, 2025

For all the White Lotus fans out there, Season 3 gave us a lot to think about—especially the moment in the finale when the monk says we suffer most when we search for resolutions that don't exist.

We've all been there: waiting to hear what our boss thinks about a project, wondering if someone's romantically interested and they haven't texted back, or hoping the market rebounds. We get caught up in needing things to turn out a certain way—and in the process, we lose patience, peace, and the present moment.

But problems resolve… and then new ones arise. If we're always chasing certainty, are we also signing up for a lifetime of stress and worry?

This week's podcast explores how we can find more patience and ease—even when there are no clear resolutions in sight.

This is a much-needed rebroadcast reminding us to let go of what we can't know and embrace the road ahead with all its hope and possibilities.

No More Pennies For Your Thoughts Feb 21, 2025

The Holiday Season: How You Hold Hope Is Unique To You Nov 25, 2024

In a world full of uncertainty and chaos, it's fascinating to see debates about the kind of hope we should have. Hope is deeply personal—what works for one person might seem unrealistic or even delusional to another. Hope is also what fuels us: to chase our dreams, fight for our rights, or simply make it through the day. Instead of questioning someone's hope, we should focus on the real danger—hopelessness and despair, which can paralyze people and prevent them from moving forward. In this podcast, I explore diverse perspectives on hope and how it can empower you, even in the most uncertain times. I hope you find a perspective that resonates with you and helps you stay active in your community, pursue your goals, and open your heart to a world of infinite possibilities.

When You Try To Control Something, It Often Controls You Nov 12, 2024

The Past and The Moment: Letting Go, Accepting and Choosing Gratitude Nov 01, 2024

Letting go of the past can be incredibly tough, especially when we're faced with moments we wish hadn't happened or find hard to accept.

When Do We Get To Be Happy? Aug 29, 2024

As I prepare for my first TEDx talk this Saturday, I've been revisiting some of my podcast episodes for inspiration. Yes, I listen to my podcast too! One episode from last year really resonated with me, where I explored a powerful quote by Jenifer Lewis: "We need to be happy on the way to happy. You carry yourself wherever you go." Jenifer reminds us that true joy and peace can't be sustained if we rely solely on the external world to hold us together. Instead, we must cultivate happiness and gratitude within ourselves, both during good times and when faced with challenges.

This episode moved me so deeply that I felt compelled to share it again. Whether you're on a journey of personal growth or simply seeking a moment of peace, this podcast offers valuable insights to help you find joy and contentment at every step of your path.

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

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.

Stop Saying Sorry All The Time! Apr 30, 2019

Some of us say we're sorry all the time, but we don't need to be! We apologize to get people to like us, to avoid conflict, or because we're afraid to speak our mind. But when we say we're sorry and don't need to be, we are not valuing our true selves. If you did something wrong and you want to apologize, great—apologize! But if you are apologizing when you haven't done anything wrong, you often step away from your true power and your ability to blossom. Please listen to this podcast to stop apologizing for being you, and keep sharing all of your wonderful gifts with the world!

Comparing Ourselves To Other People Just Makes Us Feel Bad Apr 23, 2019

Many of us compare ourselves to others with regard to our looks, our jobs, and the money we have (or don't). Most of the time when we make these comparisons, it makes us feel bad about ourselves. We fall into the trap of believing that other people have more than us and that we will always be less than. There is nothing wrong with finding inspiration or direction from other people, but in order to realize our true power, we must honor our authenticity and find our own individual path to success.

If You Trust Yourself Everything Will Be Okay Apr 13, 2019

So many of us try to protect ourselves by not trusting other people. Yes, we do need to try to make good decisions for ourselves, but if we make our entire lives about a lack of trust in other people, we will close our hearts to new experiences. A better approach may be learning how we can trust ourselves. This way, no matter what happens, we will trust that we can handle whatever comes our way, even if we get hurt. Focusing on trusting ourselves allows us to have the strength to open ourselves to our best lives.

We Can't Always Tie Up Loose Ends Apr 05, 2019

Most people feel great when they can tie up loose ends, but we are often faced with situations where 'closure' isn't possible. We find this most in our relationships with other people. We can have a bad breakup, an argument, or even a slight disagreement, and as hard as we try, we just can't make things right with someone. The truth is that life can be messy sometimes, and all we can do is accept things as they are. Through our acceptance, we acknowledge that we can't change the messiness, but we may still be able to gain wisdom. Hopefully, over time we can release the pain of not being able to be in a good place with someone we care about so that we can be open to new healing and relationships in the days to come.

Are You Strong Enough To Change Your Life? Mar 21, 2019

Wouldn't it be great to make your own rules, always be your authentic self, and love what you do each day? So many people these days are encouraging us to find our own path or follow our bliss. Although this can be a wonderful new journey, if we don't love ourselves or have a secure identity, we will suffer greatly—we might not even have the strength to make necessary changes. Please listen to this podcast to cultivate self-love and resilience to launch your new journey and achieve your goals.

How Can We Respond To People When They Are Rude Or Obnoxious? Mar 08, 2019

It can be difficult to navigate how to respond to people when they are rude or obnoxious to us. Our inclination might be to respond harshly, but this type of response can create more drama. Often it is best to take a pause and contemplate how our response will serve us. Sometimes it is best to let things go and other times we can cultivate a response that fosters our goals. Either way, focusing on how our responses will serve us moves us away from needless drama and towards more peace and joy.

If You Want More Success, Then Know Yourself Less Feb 26, 2019

Trying desperately to know ourselves can be just another way of being addicted to certainty. We seek safety in knowing our capabilities and our path to success. But defining ourselves as a certain type of person limits our possibilities. We end up stationary when everything around us is changing. If you want more success, then claim to know yourself less!

The Words That Are Left Unsaid Feb 13, 2019

As much as we care about the people in our lives, there are many times that we leave important things left unsaid. We always think people know how we feel, but sometimes the people we care about have no idea how much we love them or how meaningful they are to us. Don't leave it to chance. Time passes quickly, and we don't want to miss out on giving one of greatest gifts we can give—that is, just letting those we care about know how deeply we feel for them.

Nothing Is Permanent: That's Good News When You Are Suffering Feb 04, 2019

There are certain events in our lives that will cause us pain and create suffering. Sometimes we judge ourselves too harshly for how we show up for these difficult events. We forget that others suffer just like we do, and that our pain does not mean we are weak or not able to handle what is happening. Everything is always changing, and suffering, too, is transient in nature. This awareness can help us ease our suffering, reminding us that life keeps changing and there is still space for joy, peace and possibilities in the days ahead

How Can We Have Less Conflicts In Our Relationships? Jan 22, 2019

The problem we have with most relationships is that we think we know what the other person is thinking. But the truth is that we often have no idea what is going through the mind of our boss, friend, family, spouse, or boyfriend/girlfriend. We sometimes assume something that is not true. Listen to this podcast to learn how to pause and question our thoughts about the conflicts in our relationships. Maybe it can be the beginning of having less stress and more joy with the people we interact with every day. Just Maybe!

The Path To Less Suffering Jan 11, 2019

Some of us believe that we don't have the right to feel upset about things because we have good lives or many blessings. What we often fail to realize is that any suffering can overwhelm our minds regardless of how seemingly insignificant the source is. If we are willing to acknowledge the validity of how we feel—whether the root is big or small—we can create an opening for finding a new perspective and letting go of some or all of our pain.

A New Mindset For The New Year Dec 27, 2018

Do You Give Enough To Other People? Dec 17, 2018

Some of us limit how much we are willing to give to other people based on our past and fears. It's important that we examine our feelings towards giving because it can be such a meaningful and fulfilling part of our lives. The act of giving opens our hearts, enriches our lives, connects us to other people and overall makes the world a better place. A world we feel comfortable leaving to our children. This podcast will explore what holds us back from giving and how we can connect to the deep need to give within our hearts.

When Things Don't Work Out As Planned Dec 10, 2018

As the new year approaches, many of us are thinking about things that did not work out as planned or goals we did not achieve this past year. BUT NO NEED TO WORRY!

And the more you sit in the now, the more you will feel joy and satisfaction while allowing yourself to be guided towards a new year filled with hope and possibility.

Make The Holiday Season About Letting Go Nov 28, 2018

Sometimes the holiday season is not always filled with cheer. It can be a time when we have more disappointment and conflict with relatives and friends whether at a holiday celebration or special event. However, it is also a wonderful time to let go of past and present hurtful situations, so we can start the new year with a clean slate. MAYBE the best New Year's Resolution is to see our relationships with fresh eyes in the year to come.

Why Are You So Distracted? Nov 16, 2018

A lot of people pride themselves on getting many things done at once, but what many people don't realize is that when we are distracted and try to focus on multiple things, we often neglect the situation or the person in front of us, we don't present them with our best selves, and we don't get the best results. We also miss out on the most precious and productive part of our lives, which, in reality, is pure presence. When we are fully present we are able to launch new businesses, achieve new goals, make our relationships fulfilling and meaningful, and experience every wonderful thing life offers us in each moment.

Do You Hate Your Body When You Look In The Mirror? Nov 05, 2018

Have you ever looked in the mirror and started to feel horrible about how your body looked? We don't always realize it, but many of us have been programmed to reject our bodies, spending our lives searching for an ideal of beauty. Yet, the definition of beauty in the dictionary is "that which gives pleasure to the mind or senses." This means we get to determine our notion of beauty based on what gives us pleasure. If we focus more on what pleases us, we might just find that our bodies are miraculous vehicles to experience the beauty of life. Listen to this podcast and in less than 10 minutes you can start to learn to look in the mirror with pleasure and see your true beauty.

Are You A People Pleaser? Oct 31, 2018

Those of us who have a tendency to be people-pleasers usually want the best for other people. However, the other, more well-known part of being a people-pleaser is the need for everyone to like us, which often leads to anxiety, worry, and ultimately self-compromise. When we can give up people-pleasing, we can start thinking about the pleasure of speaking our minds, the pleasure of achieving our goals, and the pleasure of taking control of our own lives by letting go of the pain involved in trying to control other people.

How Can We Treat The People We Love Better? Oct 22, 2018

For some reason, many of us tend to take our anger, discomfort, and frustrations out on the people we love most. We may insist that it's because we are most comfortable with our loved ones, but we forget that without tender care, even the best relationships become broken. This podcast will give us tools to treat each moment with our loved ones as sacred and always be reminded that love is the bridge to everything wonderful.

Why Don't You Think You Are Beautiful? Oct 08, 2018

If you were to look up the definition of 'beauty' in the dictionary, you would find that beauty is defined as "that which gives the highest degree of pleasure to the senses or the mind." But are we truly cognizant of what actually gives us pleasure? Or have we been conditioned to be pleased by what the outside world considers beautiful? If our search for beauty is more about external standards of beauty and less about what truly pleases us, we often find ourselves living in a tremendous amount of pain and self-rejection. This podcast will aid you in recognizing what is beauty for you, supporting you to feel more whole, peaceful, and loving towards yourself.

Does Being Mean Move Your Life Forward? Sep 24, 2018

Sometimes we want to be mean to someone because they hurt us. We blame them for something bad that happened, or we want to teach them a lesson. Even though we might feel justified, acting this way tends to bring us further from where we want to be in our lives. This podcast will explore six questions that we can ask ourselves to guide our decision-making, pushing us towards greater joy and success.

The Decisions That Don't Lead To Happiness Sep 14, 2018

The society we live in routinely provides us with often fictitious images of what it means to be happy. These constructs—fed to us from birth—often attempt to answer the following three questions: What kind of relationships do I need in my life to be happy? What do I need to do to be successful? And who do I need to be in order to be happy and successful? Only we can answer these questions for ourselves truthfully, but these constructs are served to us as objective truths. Often, as we get older, we may come to discover that these images of happiness that we have been sold don't actually make us happy, don't really fulfill us, and don't give our lives meaning. This podcast explores how we can free ourselves of these seemingly inescapable constructs so that we may live a more authentic, joyful, and meaningful life.

What Are You Hiding? Sep 04, 2018

Many of us try to hide aspects of ourselves that we think will not be accepted by our friends, family or society. We believe that if we can hide these things, people will accept us, love us, and validate us. Yet, hiding certain aspects of ourselves is quite painful because, in hiding, we cover up who we truly are, limiting ourselves from living our best lives. I hope this podcast can help free any part of you that is hiding from the world so that you may find more joy and sustainable success!

Learning To Love Yourself Aug 08, 2018

Many of us look for evidence to love ourselves in how other people see us or in experiences that should validate our worth. But the minute there's a bump in the road—whether someone leaves us, we lose our job, or we are rejected or disappointed— if there is not another source for that love, we are going to find it hard to move forward. We must recognize that we are the love that we seek if we want to stand steady. We are already everything we need to be to have joyful and meaningful lives.

The Pain Of Rejection Aug 03, 2018

Rejection can be very painful. Sometimes rejection makes us close our hearts and we start to believe that we can't achieve our goals. This episode will discuss how we can have a different relationship with rejection. If we can find a way to nurture the pain, rejection can be a learning experience that leads us to an expansive place. We create a willingness to try new things and approach everything with less fear and more resilience. With a new openness to all that is possible, MAYBE the best is yet to come!

Does Social Media Make You Feel Bad About Your Life? Jul 12, 2018

Sometimes looking at our friends' social media accounts can make us feel like we are watching an advertisement on television, making us believe if we had what that person had we would be happy and fulfilled. But often it is not what our friends are actually doing that is making us feel bad. Instead, our friends' posts are just sparking a lack of direction or meaning in our own lives. If we take the time to figure out what is meaningful to us, we can find direction and a reason to get out of bed in the morning. People find meaning in different places, including their work, a relationship, giving to others, or self-care; it just needs to be real. It needs to come from your inner self, and not from a place that just looks good to the outside world. When you find what is meaningful in your life, you will find it long lasting and satisfying, and it will bring a fullness to your life that is sustainable. With a life full of meaning, MAYBE the best is yet to come!

Is More Always Better? Jun 19, 2018

Always wanting more can prevent us from fully enjoying our lives today because we always think we have tomorrow. This "more" mentality can prevent us from bringing our best selves to this moment to create the lives that we actually want. This 10 minute podcast will show you how you can keep your goals and at the same time help you discover that today is "enough" in order to attain true joy, satisfaction and abundance.

Positive Thinking Doesn't Always Work May 17, 2018

Worrying Less About Our Children May 10, 2018

Every parent wants their children to flourish, but the fear that they won't or that things won't work out in their future can consume much of our day-to-day inner dialogue. The mindset of Maybe enables us to parent with less worry and more ease as we recognize that our children's lives often are not determined by one moment and Maybe everything is or is going to be okay.

Maybe There Is Nothing Wrong With You May 01, 2018

When we don't feel okay about ourselves everything that happens in the outside world defines how we feel about ourselves in our inside world. How can we alleviate this pain of feeling not valuable and stay on our path to achieve the things we want in life? You might want to consider that Maybe there is nothing wrong with you!

Finding Hope In The New Year Dec 20, 2017

Some people think hope is the root of our suffering and others believe that hope keeps people inspired and moving forward. I believe most of us would find it difficult to get through the day without hope. Every business, every investment, every first date, and every other situation we embark on has hope packed into it. As a result, holding hope for the new year is the perfect mindset, as long as we remain flexible and fluid in the face of change and uncertainty. Life can take many different paths and each one is filled with potential to meet our objectives. Hope is the beginning of garnering all that's possible to improve our lives and make the world a better place for everyone.

Acceptance Dec 08, 2017

Acceptance is a difficult issue for many people because it is about tolerating or making peace with something in our lives that we don't like or that causes us pain. But the key to less suffering and possibly finding a solution is to stop holding on to the way things were before our problem occurred or to stop holding on to the thought that things should have worked out differently. Resisting the flow of life will only makes us stressed and unhappy. It takes courage to accept life the way it is, but it is the beginning to finding peace and MAYBE even making our situation better.

When This Moment Is Enough Nov 15, 2017

One of the key reasons we suffer is because we often believe that this moment is not enough. We might have a problem we want to solve or a goal we want to achieve and we believe if we can just get through this period or reach this achievement then we can rest, smile and enjoy the fruits of our labor. But what if, by focusing on the one thing that will bring us future happiness, we are creating tremendous suffering in our lives? Listen to this podcast to learn how to embrace this moment as enough, still pursue your dreams and experience a true path to peace and joy.

Embracing Uncertainty As Your Friend Nov 07, 2017

Since my first podcast launched a few weeks ago, I have received many emails from people discussing their anxieties and worries about current events. Their concerns included fear of more mass shootings, losing their healthcare, or possible war with North Korea. Many of us can understand how these people feel and many of us have similar concerns. These types of events can make us feel vulnerable and it can be difficult to calm our fears and worries when we are bombarded constantly with upsetting news. In response to these emails, episode 4 addresses how we can alleviate our fears about these and other world events by embracing uncertainty as a place of hope and refuge.
