Episode 212: Keys to Consistency May 25, 2023

Show notes

This is the time of year where many of us are celebrating the big moments—the culmination of things we have been working towards and the commencement of brand-new beginnings.

And while the big moments are exciting, to really change our lives, we have to stop putting our attention on the start line or the finish line and start paying attention to all the quiet, unassuming moments in between.

The work of our lives is really happening in the tiny, unremarkable decisions that we make day in and day out. These small choices are where the quality of our lives is built. And that means that developing consistency is one of the best skills we can have.

In today's podcast, I'm championing the power of consistency and giving you lots of new ways to think about it. These powerful tools will help you improve your consistency so you can create a life you love.

Episode 211: Practice Drills for Mental Fitness May 18, 2023

Show notes

Once you know that the way you feel and the things you do are being created by your thoughts, being able to manage those thoughts becomes a priority. But acquiring the skills to question and change your thoughts is just like any other skill—it takes practice.

And, just like swimming or playing the piano or cooking, when we're trying to practice any new skill, the better the practice is and the more specific and targeted the rehearsals are, the faster our overall proficiency improves.

In today's episode of the podcast, I'm giving you some very specific drills that you can use to improve your ability to change your thoughts and manage your brain. I break down the process of changing your thoughts into bite-sized pieces so you can bring your attention to the parts that need more practice.

These small, defined exercises will help you isolate and improve specific elements of your thought work so you can get better at changing your mind and improve your mental fitness.

Episode 210: The Greatest Gifts You Can Give Your Children May 10, 2023

Show notes

As a mom, you are the giver of gifts. You gave your children life and you haven't stopped giving to them since then.

Everything you do is for your children. You think of them first, last, and all the time in between and give everything you have to help them learn and grow and be happy. And even with all that, you sometimes still worry that it's not enough.

Today on the podcast I'm sharing the things that I think are the most important gifts you can ever give your children. But you should know that they are really gifts for you in disguise.

These are the gifts that you give your children that will make your own life better, your relationship with them sweeter, and they are the gifts that will give you more peace and more happiness in your role as a mom.

Episode 209: Permission to be Happy May 04, 2023

Show notes

Are you good at feeling happy?

Recently I noticed that I pay a lot of attention to my negative emotions and sometimes I am much more aware of my pain than my joy. And while the goal isn't to be happy all the time, there is a lot of value in purposefully noticing, appreciating, and cultivating more happiness in our lives.

Your emotions never make you good or bad. They are just an experience. But if you want to have more of the experience of happiness in your life, you will need to make intentional decisions to create and nurture it.

In today's podcast, I'm sharing some thoughts on how to give yourself permission to be happy. In a world where any kind of positivity can be labeled as toxic and inauthentic, it's important to give yourself permission to enjoy your life, allow yourself to play, and let yourself develop the skill of liking things even when your brain doesn't want to.

Our relationships are the most important part of our lives, but they can also cause us the most pain. In the places where we want to feel the most love and joy and connection, we often end up feeling the most conflict, tension, and isolation.

Episode 208: Changing the Language of Your Brain Apr 27, 2023

Show notes

Your brain has a native language system—a natural, native way of thinking about who we are and what we're capable of. We have used this language to create our identity and tell us who we are—and that informs what we do.

That means that in order to change your life, you have to change this native language system. We have to learn to speak to ourselves in a new way, with new words, and new sentences, and practice this new language enough to embed it into your life.

Choosing new thoughts is learning a new language. It won't come automatically. Like any other language acquisition, changing your brain's native language takes consistency and effort.

In today's podcast I'm sharing how to use the tools of language acquisition to help you change the native language of your brain and how to be patient and love yourself while you get fluent.

Episode 207: Striving vs. Surrender Apr 20, 2023

Show notes

When things in our life don't turn out the way we think they should or we struggle to create the results we want, we sometimes wonder if we need to try harder or if we need to turn things over to God instead.

Is getting a life we want a matter of striving or surrender?

And how do we reconcile our agency and our power to choose our experience with God's will and his plan for us?

In today's podcast, I'm wrestling with the balance of taking responsibility for your life with being open and receptive to God's plan for you. And I'm sharing a powerful way to think about your agency and God's will to give you some guidance and help when you need to decide if it's time to strive or surrender.

Episode 206: Ending Personal Conflict Apr 13, 2023

Show notes

All of us want less conflict in our lives and less conflict in the world, but that desire often feels out of our control. It's easy to feel like the amount of love we get or the amount of conflict we experience is up to other people and their choices.

But the truth is that everything we feel—whether it's love or hate or anything in between—is always up to us. And that means that if we want to have less conflict and more love in our lives we can. We just have to know how to do it.

In today's podcast, I'm sharing the keys to getting more love and peace and less conflict and contention in our lives, in any relationship we are in, and in the world at large. And the best part is that creating more love and peace doesn't require anyone or anything else in the world to be different first.

When you understand what is really creating your love or really disturbing your peace then you also have the power to feel as much love and peace as you want, anytime that you want.

Episode 205: Is it Selfish? Apr 06, 2023

Show notes

When you think about what you want for your life, one of the things that can get in our way is the fear that what we want might be selfish.

Going after our goals, following our desires, and paying attention to the things we want can feel self-serving and self-focused and sometimes we are suspicious of our own desires. What if we want isn't good? What if it takes time and energy away from the other priorities in your life?

On today's podcast, I'm talking about how our fear that pursuing our desires might be selfish can hold us back from living the fullest expression of our lives and what to do about it. I'm going to help you question how you think about selfishness, how you think about your desires, and how to reconcile pursuing the things you want with the impact that has on other people.

Episode 204: The Hard Work of Thought Work Mar 30, 2023

Show notes

The hardest battle we all face is the one inside our own heads. But most of us think it should be easier in there than it is. We think we shouldn't have to fight so hard to feel good about ourselves or positive about our lives.

But once we understand that the opposition our brain creates is there on purpose, and that nothing has gone wrong, then we can stop resisting our brain's opposition and start doing in the work that is required to overcome it.

In today's episode I'm showing you why thought work is supposed to be work and then what you can do to keep doing the work you need to do to take care of your brain and manage your thoughts, so that you can fight the good fight and get the most out of your life.
