#19 Connection on Purpose and How to Meet Your Needs Apr 07, 2021

Show notes

This episode, we're talking about connection on purpose – the way you cultivate the kind of connection with other people that is deeply satisfying and takes full ownership of meeting your own needs. This isn't about cultivating an "I don't need other people to fulfill me," kind of attitude, but rather the opposite, what you can do to minimize feelings of loneliness, and maximize feelings of connection with others in your life.

I'll teach you a powerful two-step process that is one of THE MOST powerful tools to move you from feeling lonely and disconnected to feeling empowered and fulfilled in your relationships.
You'll learn about the brain's need for oxytocin, the 'trust' hormone, and how to create more of it for a happy brain.
Discover how to help your teens and young adults create better connection in their friendships, versus false connection that social media mimics.

Join me to learn more about how to create more connection on purpose and minimize loneliness in your life.

#18 Perfectionist Assumptions, Illusions, and Someday Thinking Mar 18, 2021

Show notes

Do you enjoy the pursuit of self-improvement, goals, and personal growth? Or do you have a negative relationship with yourself in those pursuits? If so, you might be engaging in perfectionist assumptions, illusions, and someday thinking.

It's time to operate from the emotions of 'satisfaction' and 'fulfilled' as you engage in the pursuit of personal growth and achieving your best - not because you have to prove anything to yourself or anyone else - but simply because it FEELS good to grow.

You can dream big, or not. You can play it safe, or go all in. But do it from energy and emotions that serve you, versus the 'hustle' energy that shuts us down and burns us out.

Listen in and learn how to like yourself better, enjoy being yourself more, and drop the thinking that says you'll approve of yourself someday 'when'. . .

#17 Give Yourself Permission Mar 04, 2021

Show notes

Women have been taught that telling ourselves NO is what motivates change. I've got some THOUGHTS about that.⁠ Telling ourselves NO sends the message other people's opinions matter more than our own.⁠ It tells us we are not our own authority.⁠ And that doesn't motivate nurturing behaviors.⁠ ⁠ So let's swap telling yourself NO for giving yourself permission!⁠ ⁠Ideas for how to give yourself permission?

I have six areas I focus on in the podcast: Give yourself permission to

give yourself a compliment and celebrate small wins:
tell the whole truth and stop people-pleasing
respect and (gasp) even enjoy your body as it is - and stop always thinking about losing weight all the time.
be your own authority in regards to realistic beauty standards
want and desire more for your life.

Join me and learn how to stop saying NO to yourself, and why this matters for your overall well-being.

#16 Clean Pain and Dirty Pain Feb 17, 2021

Show notes

If there was one concept I wish I would have known about when I was younger, it would be this one: the difference between clean pain and dirty pain.

Much of the work I do is about helping people feel better.

I know what it's like to go through life feeling heavy and sucktastic all the time, and wondering why when I'm so blessed, - like I shouldn't feel this way. I should be so grateful. . . I hear my clients say this a lot too, lots of other women say this all the time too.

When we're feeling stuck in negative emotion, when we're spinning in our own pain, it's because we haven't had the time, or taken the time, to do the work of cleaning up our pain. Learn how on today's episode.

#15 Surviving Betrayal Trauma in your Marriage Jan 28, 2021

Show notes

We hold a value system with our marriage partners, and when that value system is betrayed, the disrupt in our marriage can be traumatic.

Betrayal trauma can also involve anything that deals with addiction from a spouse. Join me in my conversation with Emily Lee, fellow Life Coach colleague, as we unpack her experience with betrayal trauma in the context of pornography in her marriage, and how she worked through it.

#14 You are Already Worthy Jan 15, 2021

Show notes

If you are wondering if there is more to life, then you are onto something. There is more to life. And it's the fact that it's time to believe that you are special and you have something special to offer and you are worthy to pursue it – simply from a place of wanting to, not from a place of having to prove your self-worth.

This is one of those topics that is really at the heart of what I wish I could give every single woman within my sphere of influence, I wish I could give them this personal belief, that I could package it up pretty and put a big bow on it and say, here you go! I'm giving you the gift of believing that you are already worthy. Listen in and receive this beautiful gift.

#11 Acres of Diamonds Nov 25, 2020

Show notes

Acres of Diamonds is about generating more belief in yourself that you already have inside of you what you need in order to create what it is you really want, going into the holiday season.

You don't have to be afraid that you'll blow it with your health goals, or with relationships with extended family that may have felt a little strained in the past. I want to offer to you one of my most powerful tools that get me back to a sense of trusting myself, feeling grounded, and just enjoying where I'm at and enjoying other people for who they are.

#10 Hero of her Story - Conversations with my Friends Nov 18, 2020

Show notes

Today I'm speaking to how you can feel more connected to your young adult children and ultimately have the relationship that you want to.

I' invited my daughter onto the show and we speak to the mother/daughter dynamic. This is a relationship that has potential for genuine and sustaining fulfillment, but also huge potential for going awry for many women; mothers and daughters are still working through out-dated ideas for how mothers 'should be' and how daughters 'should be.'

I coach a lot of women on their relationships with their mothers. And, I coach a lot of Teens on their relationship with their mothers.

Learn how to develop the capacity to hold space for a profound love and a profound grief at the same time as your daughter grows up and moves away. We experience a paradox of giving our all to motherhood, while learning to let go. It's about trusting our children that they have everything inside of them they need to live life from the dictates of their agency and the Life that is calling to them.
