Changing our relationship with change series - Pt. 1 Mar 08, 2021

Show notes

What ACTUALLY leads to change? It's usually one of two things:⁣ ⁣ Discomfort⁣ or⁣ Desire⁣ ⁣ "I'm in pain, and I want out."⁣ "I'm frustrated, and I want to feel better."⁣ "I'm bored, and I want to feel inspired."⁣ ⁣ Knowing what the catalyst is for you can be powerful exercise AND can help you stay on track. ⁣

When we're ready for change there are 3 things we often feel, say, or do:⁣ ⁣ We feel - Frustrated, Tired, Anxious⁣ We say - "Ugh!", "This has to stop.", "This sucks!"⁣ We do - Hit snooze, avoid, procrastinate⁣

Join me for the next 4 weeks as we explore our relationship with change, and hopefully learn to love it.

Going ALL in. Danielle x Kate Kennett Jan 27, 2021

Show notes

Meet Kate Kennett - coach, mother, teacher, friend, and fellow whale lover. She's worn a lot of hats in her professional life, but one of things I love most about her story, and this interview, is how she's approached change head-on and with humility. ⁣

Her experiences have taught her the value in saying "Yes" - even when you don't feel ready, and how to learn from every mistake. More importantly, she wants to help you do the same. ⁣

One of my favorite takeaways from this episode - "Ask yourself why, until there's no more why left."⁣

⁣Sit back, relax, and get ready for some BIG belly laughs. ⁣

⁣Enjoy!

Raised in a cult. Finding truth and freedom. Danielle x Alesia Galati from Two Sisters and a Cult Podcast Nov 13, 2020

Show notes

Professional podcast manager and co-host of Two Sisters and a Cult, Alesia Galati and I explore questions like:

How do I know what are my original thoughts vs my training?
What do I really want my life to look like?
What does it mean when the people our lives don't agree?

We relate on a shared sentiment of being in our mid 20's, looking around at our lives and asking, "Who's life am I really living?"

We also explore the impact of someone you admire confirming the worst fear you have about yourself and how this affects behavior, "This must be true. It's the thing I've been afraid to admit to myself and they see it too."

We also talk about the differences between being led to follow our own instincts vs following someone else's. Similarities between how cult leaders lead and current coaching and marketing strategies.

The core lesson we come back to over and over again - at the end of the day the person who's trust you must keep is your own.

A FBI negotiators take on connection, communication, and trust. Danielle X Gary Noesner, Jul 28, 2020

Show notes

Meet Gary Noesner - author, instructor, investigator, and FBI negotiator.

Gary served as the lead hostage negotiator during the first 25 days of the 51 day siege in Waco TX. His book Stalling for Time, My life as an FBI Hostage Negotiator became the framework with the Netflix mini-series WACO.

In his words, "I've talked about WACO more in the past couple months than in my entire career, but if you don't know history you're destined to repeat it."

We explore what it feels like to be negotiating relationships from every angle in crisis situations, and how the lessons from these experiences can apply to everyday life.

There were so many great parts of this conversation, but my favorite takeaway is this: The best answer you can give is the most truthful - even if it's, "I don't know."

How do you know when you're on the path to healing? Jun 24, 2020

Show notes

Today's episode is all about healing. Specifically as it relates to -

emotional healing
emotional recovery
emotional work

About a week ago a client that I'd been working with for about 5 months asked me, "How do you know when you're done?"

We explored the question for a little while, and what became clear was that she wanted to know - "...when I've healed what I need to heal, and how do I really know when I've made progress?"

The short answer is that the less activated a painful emotion is in you - anger, grief, worry, sadness, frustration, etc. - indicates how healed a memory, experience, or relationship is within you.

I this episode I explore the language we use to identify where healing work is needed.

For example - Feeling activated vs Triggered

I also dig into a recent experience in my life where I had some healing work to do and how I navigated that process.

I hope you enjoy listening to this week's episode as much I enjoyed making it.
