BONUS EPISODE: You are not alone in this world Sep 29, 2023

Show notes

This episode is going out to you if you've been feeling lonely, isolated, or disconnected lately. Being human can feel like a lonely experience sometimes, especially if we forget that we're an integral part of this Universe - and that everything is interconnected.

I share my own recent struggles with loneliness and talk about:

the difficulty of making friends as an adult
how you can be surrounded by people and still feel lonely
how moving, changing schools, changing careers, working from home, and other circumstances can make you feel more isolated
how technology has made our lives more convenient but also separated us from each other
being ok with feelings of loneliness as part of the human experience (and as something that unites us!)

EVOLUTION: Don't allow anyone else's mess to destroy your inner peace Sep 23, 2023

Show notes

Have you ever allowed someone else's mess - their messy relationship, life decisions, chaotic living, clutter, chronic lateness, etc - destroy your inner peace? Or have you ever judged YOURSELF for being "messy" as a human?

This episode is all about re-framing our understanding of the word "mess", so you won't allow anyone else's mess to destroy your inner peace and you won't judge yourself or others for being "messy" either.

I talk about:

the real-life scenario that triggered my ego and sparked this topic idea! (it involves a missed appointment)
how we sometimes too quickly interpret an event as bad, wrong, or messy - when in fact it's happening in service of our healing or growth
how to detach yourself from other people's "messes" so you can allow them to learn whatever they need to learn, while sustaining your inner peace
rescuer/fixer patterns that might be causing you issues - such as a pattern of jumping in to rescue people financially

Thank you for tuning in and spending this time with me!

EVOLUTION: Living judgment-free Sep 09, 2023

Show notes

Introducing a brand new series on this podcast... EVOLUTION.

Your healing journey is a process of continual, ongoing evolution. Of you becoming more evolved every day. Of you evolving beyond old patterns, habits, dysfunctions, defense mechanisms, belief systems, and self-imposed limitations. Evolving beyond the past. Evolving beyond anything that isn't truthfully YOU, at your highest level.

In this inaugural episode of EVOLUTION, I address the topic of judgment - of both self and others. I talk about:

how the meaning of the word "judgment" has changed over time
how judgment is a form of punishment (and self-punishment)
how we sometimes use judgment to try to feel more powerful, better, smarter, or more capable than others
how the impulse to judge arises from a hurt, offended, threatened, or scared ego
how we've used judgment in human societies to try to bond with others - but why it's not an authentic form of relating

I want to thank Doug for suggesting this topic and being a loyal supporter of Inner Work.

My Akashic Records Certification Program is open for enrollment for January 2024. Explore the details here:

Inner Work 162: Stop using the past to victimize yourself (with personal story of school bullying) Aug 26, 2023

Show notes

Are you using the past to victimize yourself?

Do you often repeat stories like, "if my parents had done (or not done) XYZ when I was growing up, I would be so much better off today..." or "because I was cheated on 5 years ago, I can't trust men now..." or "if I had gone to school 20 years ago, my life would be better now..."?

These are stories where we use the past - and whatever happened - to victimize and limit ourselves, unconsciously, in the present.

In this episode, I share a story of school bullying from my past and how I've used that story to justify my lack of trust in women as an adult. It's a vulnerable episode!

We'll also talk about how to start detaching from these limiting stories so you can be free, happy, and at peace NOW. (Which is the only thing that really matters.)

Who determines how long you can stay inside the Records?
What happens if you forget to close your Akashic Records after opening them?
Do you need to eat a specific diet to be able to connect to the Records?

And MORE!

AWAKENING: Unconscious patterns from before you were awake (over-thinking, second-guessing, and self-doubt) Aug 15, 2023

Show notes

Before you started waking up, you engaged in some unconscious patterns and habits (we all did!). These might include survival strategies, coping mechanisms, and ego defense patterns you developed to try to protect yourself.

In this episode, we'll cover three of these patterns:

over-thinking: churning thoughts in your mind over and over, overanalyzing minor details, retreating into your intellect to avoid feeling your feelings, using your mental prowess to feel safe or successful
second-guessing: doubting your choices and decision-making process, doubting your intuition and gut knowing, fearing you will make a terrible mistake and regret it later
self-doubt: minimizing your own value and worth, feeling like an impostor or fraud, doubting your abilities and gifts

I will also give you some targeted, hard-hitting questions to become more conscious and begin softening these patterns.

AWAKENING: If you're not broken... all you need to heal is your perception Aug 02, 2023

Show notes

Many of you were moved by my recent episode titled "You're not broken (and don't need to be fixed)." I wanted to offer a continuation on that theme, so here we are: if you're not broken... all you need to heal is your perception.

In other words, all you need to heal is a perception of yourself as flawed, unworthy, damaged, broken, or not good enough. These are false ideas you've picked up along the road of life... but they are NOT the truth about you.

Once you correct your perception and begin to see (and feel) things clearly again, you realize you have always been worthy. And nothing from your past or present has ever taken away your worthiness or made you less lovable.

In this episode, I also talk about the importance of doing your inner work from a place of peace, self-love, and self-compassion... NOT from a frantic place of trying to fix or heal yourself.
