113: Cultivating Space — Part 2 Oct 01, 2020

Show notes

Cultivating space does not necessarily mean sitting still in total silence. This is a two-part series and a deeply meaningful conversation about what it means to cultivate space in your life and how doing this can make a huge difference in how you exist and how you FEEL. In this second part, we talk about being curious about your feelings about space and what cultivating space means for you right now. Be sure to listen to Ep. 112 before 113, and enjoy the full conversation on this topic. SHOW NOTES: Check out Essentialism by Greg McKeown [here](https://www.amazon.com/Essentialism-Disciplined-Pursuit-Greg-McKeown/dp/0804137382/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=essentialism&qid=1601620986&sr=8-3). Feeling “off”? Maybe you’re not off at all. What if you’re actually ON to something? The key to deciding what’s right for you is remembering that it’s very personal + individual … and there are times and seasons. Be open to day-to-day changes. Keep in mind small + attainable goals. Declutter your social media. Have pockets of time without noise. Try intentional reminiscing. Create boundaries for consistent space. Set aside one day a week to cultivate intentional space. Cultivate space in your MIND while your body is on the move. Journaling is one way to create space. Ask yourself the “what if’s” that BH shared at the end of the episode.

111: Your Body is the Least Interesting Thing about You (with Lauren Busby) Sep 16, 2020

Show notes

This is a message that needs to be heard. We’ve been trained by society that how we look is super important. But it’s not. In fact, our guest in this episode says the way we look is the least interesting thing about us. How do we change that narrative? It starts with us making a change in our circles and not spending time talking about our bodies. Lauren Busby is a mom of 4 who used to be obsessed with the gym. She stepped on the scale twice a day. She counted everything she put in her mouth. One day she realized she had a problem! So she made a change. She stopped obsessing about her body so she could do things of utmost importance and help those who truly need her. She felt a call in her heart to help women feel good about themselves by sharing herself in a raw and unfiltered way. She works to be a safe place for women to feel good about themselves by proclaiming body neutrality. After listening to this episode, you will be inspired to make a change in how you view your body and you’ll strive to be satisfied with your body without becoming obsessed.

110: Getting Clear On Your Role As A Parent Sep 09, 2020

What does success mean to you in regards to your parenting? BP leads this thought-provoking discussion and addresses these questions and many more.
