Intelligent Intoxication

Ep#133: When Your Possibilities Are Buried Aug 27, 2026

What if decluttering isn’t really about having a cleaner, more organized home—but about creating space for your next season?

Inspired by Somer Lynn’s The Uncluttered Project, we explore her powerful idea:

“When your home stops overwhelming you, two doors open.”

Door one: the people.
More space and mental capacity to be present with the people you love.

Door two: the life you’re meaning to create.
More room to imagine, choose, and build what’s next.

Because your brain can’t build in a buried house.

In this episode, we’ll look at what your clutter might be taking up besides physical space—and how clearing what no longer belongs can make room for the life you actually want to create.

For a quick shot of your life’s current level of intoxication, I invite you to complete the 10 Questions on my Intoxication Inventory:

Intoxication Inventory

Ep#132 What's Your Life About Now? Aug 19, 2026

When your children are grown, the question isn't necessarily “What should I do now?”

A more interesting question is:

“What do I want this next chapter of my life to be about?”

A life theme isn't a goal, a resolution, or a five-year plan. It's a direction. A quality you want to cultivate. A question you want to explore. A way you want to experience this season of your life.

For women who spent years organizing their lives around their children, this can be an opportunity to consciously decide what comes next.

1. Identity: Who Am I Now?

For years, motherhood may have been the organizing structure of your life.

Now you may be asking:

Who am I beyond being Mom?
What parts of myself got put on hold?
What do I like now?
What am I curious about?
What strengths have I developed that I want to use differently?
Who am I becoming?

Theme: Moving from identity-by-role to identity-by-choice.

2. Freedom & Choice: What Do I Actually Want?

One of the gifts of this stage can be realizing how much choice you have.

You don't necessarily have to keep doing things because you've always done them.

You can ask:

What do I want my days to look like?
What would I choose if I didn't have to explain it?
What am I doing because I want to—and what am I doing because I feel obligated?
Where do I want more freedom?
Where am I ready to say no?

Theme: Choosing based on desire rather than obligation.

3. Letting Go: What No Longer Fits?

A new chapter often requires some editing.

That might mean letting go of:

An outdated identity
A commitment
A relationship dynamic
Possessions
Expectations
Guilt
Perfectionism
The belief that you have to be needed to be valuable

Sometimes the most important question isn't “What should I add?”

It's:

“What am I finished with?”

Theme: Creating space for what's next by releasing what no longer belongs.

4. Contribution: What Do I Want to Do With What I Know Now?

You have decades of experience, skills, relationships, perspective, and hard-earned wisdom.

How might you use that now?

Maybe it's:

Returning to work
Starting a business
Mentoring
Teaching
Volunteering
Creating something
Leading
Supporting a cause
Finally pursuing an idea you've carried for years

The question becomes:

“What still has my name on it?”

Theme: Turning experience into meaningful contribution.

5. Relationships: Who Do I Want Around Me Now?

This season can change your relationships—not necessarily because something is wrong, but because you are changing.

You might want to:

Deepen friendships
Make new friends
Redefine your marriage
Develop a different relationship with your adult children
Stop over-functioning for other people
Create more reciprocal relationships
Become more intentional about who gets your time and energy

A particularly important shift:

Moving from being needed to being connected.

6. Pleasure: What Fills Me Up?

Motherhood can make productivity feel like the measure of a good day.

This chapter can invite a different question:

“What do I enjoy?”

Not what is useful.

Not what makes you a good wife, mother, or employee.

What actually feels good?

Think:

Travel
Friends
Food
Creativity
Music
Exercise
Beauty
Hobbies
Adventure
Learning
Sex
Laughter
Spontaneity

Theme: Building a life that contains pleasure—not just responsibility.

7. Lifestyle: How Do I Want My Life to Feel?

This is bigger than what you do.

It's about the experience of your everyday life.

Ask:

What do I want my mornings to feel like?
What kind of home do I want to live in?
How much structure do I want?
How much spontaneity?
Do I want to travel more?
What rituals do I want?
What do I want my calendar to look like?
What would make an ordinary Tuesday feel really good?

Theme: Designing a lifestyle that fits who you are now.

8. Meaning: What Makes This Chapter Matter?

Eventually, the question may move beyond:

“What do I want to do?”

to:

“What do I want my life to mean?”

That could involve:

Family
Community
Creativity
Service
Spirituality
Mentoring
Legacy
Personal growth
Making a difference

This isn't necessarily about doing something big.

It may simply be about creating a life that feels satisfying, enjoyable, and meaningful.

9. Courage & Expansion: What If I Stopped Waiting?

There can be a temptation in midlife to make life smaller.

But what if this season is actually an invitation to expand?

Try something you've never done
Be a beginner
Take a risk
Travel somewhere new
Start something
Make the decision you've been avoiding
Become more visible
Say yes to something that scares you

Theme: Expansion instead of contraction.

The Bigger Question

Instead of asking:

“What am I supposed to do now that my kids are grown?”

Try asking:

“What do I want this chapter of my life to be about?”

And you don't have to choose one theme forever.

Your theme might be:

Freedom.

Or Adventure.

Or Friendship.

Or Contribution.

Or Creativity.

Or Simplification.

Or Pleasure.

Or Courage.

Or maybe it's simply:

“I'm figuring out who I am now.”

The goal isn't to create a perfect second act.

It's to become intentional about the life you're creating now.

Closing thought

Your children's lives may no longer need to be the organizing principle of yours.

That doesn't mean motherhood is over.

It means there is room for more.

More choice.
More identity.
More friendship.
More pleasure.
More purpose.
More you.

And the question isn't “What should I do next?”

It's:

“What do I want this next chapter to be about?”

Ep #131: "I'm Going to Miss You... and I'm Ready for You To Go" Aug 12, 2026

There’s a particular feeling that happens when your adult child has been home for a while—and suddenly, you realize their time at home is coming to an end.

Maybe they’re heading back to college.
Maybe they’re going back to their apartment.
Maybe they’re leaving for a new job or a new chapter.

And you can feel it coming.

And there’s this ache.

You start noticing the little things you’re going to miss. And there can be this very real sadness.

And then…

There’s another feeling.

One that we don't always talk about.

Relief.

You might be looking at the calendar and thinking:

Okay… three more days.

And then immediately feeling guilty because you’re thinking:

Wait. Why am I counting down?

Maybe you’re ready to get your routine back.

You’re ready to eat what you want for dinner.

You’re ready to go to bed when you want to go to bed.

You’re ready to have the bathroom to yourself.

You’re ready to put things where you want them.

You’re ready to have your quiet house back.

You’re ready to have your space back.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

You can miss your child and be relieved that they’re leaving.

Those feelings don't cancel each other out.

In fact, I think sometimes we misunderstand relief.

We think relief means, I'm glad you're gone.

But that's not necessarily what relief means.

Sometimes relief simply means:

I love having you here, AND I love having my life back.

Because when our children come home, even when they're adults, we often shift.

We accommodate.

We adjust our schedules.

We think about what they might want to eat.

We listen for the front door.

We make room—literally and emotionally.

And when they leave, there can be this exhale.

Not because we don't love them.

But because we're allowed to love our own lives, too.

And I think that's one of the beautiful challenges of this second season of motherhood.

We're learning that loving our children doesn't require us to abandon ourselves.

We can be deeply connected to them without needing them physically present.

We can miss them without needing them back.

We can be sad when they leave and excited about what we're going to do with the space they've left behind.

And maybe that's the invitation here:

Instead of judging the feeling, let yourself feel the whole thing.

Let yourself be sad.

And, then, ask yourself:

“Now that I have my space back, what do I want to do with it?”

Because maybe this isn't about choosing between missing your child and enjoying your freedom.

Maybe this season is about learning that you get to have both.

You get to love them.

You get to miss them.

And you get to love the life you're building when they're not home.

And none of that makes you a bad mom.

It might actually mean you're becoming a very healthy one.

Ep #130 - How To Be An Asset In Your Friendships - Not A Liability Aug 05, 2026

In our friendships and friend groups, we either show up as a liability or an asset.

“People don’t like you because they immediately sense that you’re a survival liability.”

Donald Miller

When you are coming across as a survival liability when you are engaging in one of these 4 “N’s”:

You have a pattern of being:

Negative: draining or depleting.
Needy: you require a lot of attention and take up way more “air time” than others. You may be clingy or pushy.
Not safe: others don’t trust you. You might exhibit “black or white” thinking or are repeatedly righteous and judgmental.
Not accountable: you are in the habit of “playing the Victim” and blaming others for your emotions.

In order to be an asset in your friendships, focus on:

Developing the gifts and strengths you can offer to others
Be genuinely interested IN others, rather than trying too hard to appear “interesting” TO others
Be mindful of granting others equal air time

Ep #129 Sometimes You Don't Need to Fix It. You Need to End It. Jul 29, 2026

So much of our lives happen by default.

We inherit beliefs.
We inherit traditions.
We inherit routines.
We inherit friendships.
We inherit responsibilities.
We inherit identities.

Eventually we wake up one day and realize:

"I'm managing a life I didn't intentionally create."

Rather than endlessly tweaking what's no longer working, sometimes the healthiest thing to do is pause.

Empty everything out.

Then consciously decide what deserves to come back in.

"I think one of the biggest mistakes we make is assuming that because something came into our life naturally, it should stay forever."

Examples:

Friend groups
Volunteer commitments
Family roles
Morning routines
Businesses
Book clubs
Workout groups
Parenting identities
Traditions
Belief systems
Career paths

None of these are sacred simply because they've existed a long time.

Instead of asking:

"How do I make this work?"

Ask:

"If I were starting from scratch today... would I build this?"

Step One

Pause

Don't redesign while you're emotionally flooded.

Create space.

Step Two

Empty the “Room”

Mentally remove everything.
Imagine nothing exists.

Step Three

Choose Intentionally

Ask:

What deserves to come back?
What has earned a place?
What no longer fits?

Step Four

Rebuild on Purpose

Now create systems.
Boundaries.
Expectations.
Culture.

Don't simply recreate what you've always had.

The second season of life isn't just about discovering who you are. It's about becoming the intentional creator of your life instead of the caretaker of a life that accumulated by default.

If you’re the midlife mom of adult children who can use support to discern what no longer fits in your life, I can help. I invite you to schedule a complimentary coaching call with me. Here’s the link:

Episode Show Notes

No one prepares us for the complicated emotions that come with parenting adult children.

In this episode, I'm talking honestly about the sting of unmet expectations, broken promises, and the stories we tell ourselves when our kids' choices don't align with what we hoped for.

We'll explore the "manuals" we carry about how our adult children should behave, how to separate disappointment from the meaning we assign to it, and why boundaries aren't about controlling our kids—they're about deciding how we want to show up regardless of what they choose.

You can love your adult children deeply, celebrate their independence, and still feel hurt when they disappoint you.

How To Change How You Measure Your Worth Jul 15, 2026

When we unintentionally measure our worth by the wrong things, we struggle to feel confident.

For years, I measured my worth by who chose me—and who didn't. No amount of achievement could outweigh the fact that I didn't have a boyfriend until my third year of college.

Attending my recent 40th high school reunion led me to a question I think every woman should ask:

What are you measuring yourself by?

Whether it's your relationships, your children's need for you, other people's approval, or your accomplishments, the "ruler" you use will shape how you see yourself.

In this episode, I explore why confidence isn't about what others see—it's about the standard we use to evaluate our own worth, and how choosing a better measuring stick can change the way we experience our second season of life.

If you’re the midlife mom of adult children who can use some support and encouragement as you intentionally find better ways to measure your progress, I can help. I invite you to schedule a complimentary coaching call with me. Here’s the link:

Why You're Struggling to Stay Present Jul 08, 2026

Why Midlife Moms Struggle to Stay Present

Do you find yourself replaying the past or worrying about the future instead of fully experiencing your life right now?

In this episode, we're exploring why so many midlife moms get stuck in regret, rumination, and worry—and why staying present can feel surprisingly difficult during this season of life.

After spending years caring for others, planning ahead, and anticipating everyone's needs, many women discover that uncertainty feels uncomfortable and the present moment feels unfamiliar.

We'll talk about why uncertainty often pulls us out of the present moment and simple questions you can use to help you return to what's happening right now.

If you've been feeling distracted by what was or preoccupied with what might be, this episode will help you understand why—and how to reconnect with the life that's unfolding in front of you today.

How to Have A Tough Conversation With Adult Children Jul 08, 2026

Navigating Difficult Conversations

Difficult conversations don't have to turn into battles. A simple framework can help you communicate clearly while staying connected.

Share Your Observations
Start with what you've noticed, not accusations.

"I've noticed that when we have differing opinions, you tend to raise your voice or yell."

Address the Impact
Explain how their behavior affects you.

"When you yell, I feel uncomfortable and notice myself starting to shut down."

Get Curious
Invite them to share their experience.

"Does that make sense to you? Can you help me understand what's going on for you in those moments?"

Make a Request
Clearly state what you'd like to happen moving forward.

"Going forward, if you're not able to discuss something calmly, please let me know. If things become heated, we'll take a break and circle back when we can both discuss it calmly."

Most Important: Before initiating any difficult conversation, check in with your own nervous system. If you still feel an urgent need to address it immediately, there's a good chance you haven't fully processed your emotions yet. Regulate first. Then communicate.

Navigating Transitions with Your Adult Children Jun 17, 2026

In this episode, we’ll explore how to support our adult children as they move from the familiarity and freedom of college life into first jobs, new routines, and greater responsibility. We'll focus on supporting them with empathy rather than urgency while normalizing the mix of excitement, grief, uncertainty, and hope that often accompanies major life changes.

As our children step into new seasons, we navigate our own transitions as mothers as we release roles we've cherished, honor what has been, and learn to trust what we’re creating now.

In this episode, we'll explore:

Why transitions can feel both exciting and disorienting
How to validate your adult child's mixed emotions
The importance of normalizing grief during celebratory milestones

If you’re the midlife mom of adult children who can use some support and encouragement as you navigate both your kids’ transitions and your own, I can help. I invite you to schedule a complimentary coaching call with me. Here’s the link:

Re-Mothering Yourself: The Three Things You May Still Need as a Midlife Mom Jun 10, 2026

Many women arrive in midlife carrying a quiet longing they can't quite name.

Maybe you've done the therapy, built a beautiful life, raised children, and accomplished so much—and yet something still feels unfinished.

In her book Mother Hunger, therapist Kelly McDaniel identifies three essential needs every daughter requires from her mother:

Nurturance

To be seen, soothed, comforted, and cherished.

When nurturance is missing, we may spend years searching for comfort through achievement, food, busyness, relationships, or approval.

Re-mothering question:
How did I honor my feelings today?

Protection

To feel safe, defended, and worthy of boundaries.

When protection is missing, we may struggle with people-pleasing, over-functioning, or allowing others to cross our boundaries.

Re-mothering question:
How did I honor and defend my well-being today?

Guidance

To be helped in developing trust in ourselves and our own inner wisdom.

When guidance is missing, we may second-guess ourselves or constantly look outside ourselves for answers.

Re-mothering question:
How did I listen to and trust my own wisdom today?

The Empty Nest Connection

For many women, the empty nest years bring old longings to the surface.

As we spend less time actively mothering others, we may become more aware of the ways we still long to be nurtured, protected, and guided ourselves.

The invitation isn't to blame our mothers or wait for them to change, but to become increasingly capable of providing these things for ourselves.

Reflection Questions

Where am I strongest: nurturance, protection, or guidance?
Which area feels most neglected?
What would it look like to mother myself well today?
What am I still hoping someone else will provide that I can begin offering myself?

For Mothers of Adult Children

As our children grow, our role evolves.

We continue to offer:

Nurturance through love and emotional presence.
Protection through healthy boundaries and trust.
Guidance through wisdom rather than control.

A beautiful question to consider:

How can I love my adult children deeply while trusting their journey completely?

Healing comes from learning to provide yourself with the nurturance, protection, and guidance you've needed all along.

Grappling With "Not Enough" As a Midlife Mom Jun 03, 2026

Many women live with a quiet belief running in the background:

I'm not doing enough. I'm not accomplishing enough. I haven't had enough. I am not enough.

What's interesting is that getting “more” rarely solves the problem. The goal is reached, the project is finished, the glass is refilled, and the feeling simply moves to the next thing.

The truth is that "not enough" is often not a quantity problem—it's an experience problem.

We spend so much time chasing the next thing that we lose the ability to recognize sufficiency in the present moment.

In this episode, we explore:

Why the feeling of "not enough" shows up in productivity, food, achievement, relationships, and self-improvement
Why more doesn't always create satisfaction
How Essentialism offers an alternative to “not enoughness”

Essentialism teaches us that if everything matters, nothing is ever enough. When we identify what is truly essential, we create boundaries around our time, energy, and attention—and we allow that to be enough.

Questions to consider:

What matters most in this season of my life?
What am I pursuing because it is essential?
What am I pursuing because I believe more will finally make me feel enough?
Where can I recognize sufficiency instead of chasing more?

Because perhaps enough isn't found by adding more to our lives.

Perhaps enough is found by removing everything that distracts us from what matters most.

Essentialism is not the pursuit of less. It's the disciplined pursuit of enough.

If you’re the midlife mom of adult children who can use some support and encouragement as you navigate this new season, I can help. I invite you to schedule a complimentary coaching call with me. Here’s the link:

How To Stop Worrying About Your Adult Child's Future May 27, 2026

For midlife moms of adult children, our role shifts dramatically. While we still love them deeply, we can no longer protect, guide, or guarantee outcomes the way we could when they were adolescents.

In this episode, we explore the difference between loving our children and trying to emotionally future-proof them.

If you’ve been carrying sadness, fear, or helplessness as your children find their footing in adulthood, this episode is a reminder that uncertainty is not failure — it is often part of them becoming fully functioning adults. Nor is discomfort proof that they are doomed.

If you’re the midlife mom of adult children who wants to learn how to support your grown kids without worrying about their futures, I can help. I invite you to schedule a complimentary coaching call with me. Here’s the link:

How To Support Your Adult Child Without Becoming Responsible For Their Emotions May 20, 2026

Many women—especially mothers of adult children—have been taught that love means emotional availability at all times.

But there’s a difference between being compassionate and becoming emotionally permeable or enmeshed.

In this episode, we explore:

why empathy can quietly turn into emotional over-functioning
the subtle signs of enmeshment in parent/adult child relationships
why “being there” for your children is not the same as carrying their emotional lives
how to support people you love without becoming their emotional regulator

We also discuss:

the difference between connection and emotional permeability
why healthy differentiation can feel threatening in enmeshed families

I invite you to consider this question:

“Am I supporting my adult child… or am I becoming responsible for their emotional life?”

Key Takeaways

Compassion says: “I care deeply.”
Emotional permeability says: “I must carry this.”
Healthy love requires connection—not emotional merging.
Support builds capability.
Over-functioning builds dependence.

I encourage you to remember that:

“Being available is not the same as being emotionally fused.”
“Your job is not to become your child’s emotional life support system. Your job is to help them build their own.”
“Sometimes the most loving thing you can do is step back enough for someone else to step up.”

If you’re the midlife mom of adult children who wants to learn how to support your grown kids in an emotionally healthy way, I can help. I invite you to schedule a complimentary coaching call with me. Here’s the link:

Your Adult Children Are Not Your Emotional Charging Station May 13, 2026

When our children were growing up, we were meant to be their emotional charging station.

They came to us for:

comfort
reassurance
grounding
perspective
emotional safety

That was healthy.
That was parenting.

But in the empty nest season, many parents unconsciously reverse that relationship and begin expecting their adult children to emotionally sustain them.

Our adult children are not meant to carry our emotional well-being:

1. Children are supposed to draw from us—not sustain us

When kids are young, dependency is normal.

But adulthood changes the assignment.

Adult children are supposed to separate, build lives, and become independent.

If we need them to emotionally stabilize us, we place a burden on them they were never meant to carry.

Adult children should not be responsible for your peace

This often sounds like:

Why don’t they call more?
I just want them to need me
I feel hurt when they make decisions without me

Underneath is often:

“I need you to help me feel secure.”

That creates guilt instead of closeness and obligation instead of intimacy.

Worry can disguise emotional dependency

Sometimes what we call concern is actually emotional dependence.

Ask yourself:

Does their happiness determine mine?
Do their struggles destabilize my peace?
Does their approval fuel my emotional stability?

If so, we may be emotionally plugging into them instead of standing on our own emotional ground.

A happy parent is a gift

Gretchen Rubin shared this idea:

“What if our adult children are only as happy as their least happy parent?”

Your peace gives them permission to live.

Your groundedness frees them from managing you emotionally.

A fulfilled parent says:

“You are free to build your life.
I am fully living mine.”

Support them—don’t lean on them for identity

This doesn’t mean becoming distant.

It means healthy emotional responsibility.

“I will always support you,
but I will not make you responsible for my emotional well-being.”

That is mature love.

Reflection Questions

Have I made one of my children responsible for my peace?
Am I looking to them for identity or validation?
Where do I need to create my own emotional stability?
What would it look like to become a deeply grounded parent?

One of the greatest gifts we can give our adult children is a parent who knows how to stay fully charged on her own.

If you’re the midlife mom of adult children who wants to learn how to recharge your own emotional battery, I can help. I invite you to schedule a complimentary coaching call with me. Here’s the link:

What I Learned About Midlife Women—and Myself—From My First Class May 06, 2026

What I Thought Women Needed

A clear, written plan for their next chapter
Step-by-step direction
Tangible outcomes they could take with them

What I Discovered They Actually Needed

Clarity about where they are right now
Language for what no longer fits
Permission to want something different
Connection to their values
A sense of the identity they are growing into
Support in aligning habits and routines with that identity
Tools to navigate relationships without self-sacrifice

Key Insight:
Women don’t struggle because they can’t make a plan.
They struggle when they don’t yet have clarity or permission.

What I Observed in the Room

Strong connection and camaraderie
Meaningful self-awareness emerging
Some hesitation around sharing (safety matters)

What I Learned About Myself

I am strongest in live teaching and real-time coaching
My work is rooted in self-awareness, identity, and behavior—not just planning
I help women align how they live with what they value
I guide women in managing relationships in a healthy, non-self-sacrificing way

Reframe:
I’m not just helping women create plans—
I’m helping them redesign how they live and relate.

What I’ll Change Next Time

Make the class longer to allow for deeper integration
Clarify the promise so it matches the true transformation
Ensure participants leave with something written and tangible

Final Takeaway

The first round wasn’t about perfection—it was about clarity.

It revealed:

What women truly need in this season
And the work I’m actually here to do

Question for Listeners

Are you trying to create a plan for your next chapter…
when what you really need first is clarity about who you’re becoming?

Your Adult Children Need You To Be Happy Apr 29, 2026

There’s a quote many mothers have heard:

“You’re only as happy as your least happy child.”

And if we’re honest, many of us have lived like that’s true.

If one child is struggling—emotionally, relationally, financially, spiritually, or professionally—we feel it deeply.

Especially in the empty nest season, it can feel like our emotional well-being is still tied to our children’s lives.

But what if there’s another way to look at it?

Gretchen Rubin shared this thought:

What if our adult children are only as happy as their least happy parent?

That shifts everything.

Maybe our role now is not to keep managing their happiness.

Maybe our work is to become the kind of parent whose peace gives them permission to live.

Your happiness is not selfis - it’s leadership. A peaceful, grounded, emotionally healthy parent creates freedom for adult children.

Adult children need parents who trust, believe, and model emotional adulthood - they do not need a parent who is constantly worried, hovering, or emotionally dependent.

Reflection Questions

Am I emotionally outsourcing my peace to one of my children?
Do my children feel responsible for my happiness?
What would it look like to become a deeply peaceful parent?
What kind of freedom would that create for everyone?

Maybe the goal of motherhood in this season is to become the kind of parent whose life says:

“You are free to go build yours.
And I am fully living mine.”

Because perhaps our children are only as happy as their least happy parent.

And maybe the work now…

is learning how to become a happy one.

What You Need As A Midlife Mom Apr 22, 2026

Do you ever wonder WHY you do what you do?
So much of our behavior is driven by the need to have an emotional need met.

According to author and speaker, Tony Robbins, there are six human needs that drive all of us — and understanding them can bring so much clarity and self-awareness.

On today’s episode I’ll apply my understanding of Robbins’ 6 needs to the empty nest stage of life during which midlife women are reimagining “what’s next” while mothering adult children.

The Six Needs

Certainty
The need for safety, stability, comfort, and predictability.
Where in life do I need to feel secure?
Variety
The need for change, spontaneity, challenge, and excitement.
Where do I feel bored or restless?
Significance
The need to feel important, valued, and seen.
Where do I seek validation or a sense of mattering?
Love & Connection
The need for belonging, closeness, and meaningful relationships.
Where do I feel connected — or disconnected?
Growth
The need to learn, evolve, and become more of who I am.
How am I stretching in this season?
Contribution
The need to give, serve, and make a difference.
How am I offering my gifts to something bigger than myself?

Key Point

The first four needs help us feel emotionally safe.
The last two create deeper fulfillment.

Sometimes what feels like dissatisfaction is simply an unmet need.

Reflection Questions for Listeners

Which need feels strongest for me right now?
Which one feels missing?
How am I currently trying to meet it?
Is there a healthier way to meet that need?

Closing

Understanding your needs helps you move from self-judgment to self-awareness.

Sometimes the discomfort you feel is simply information.

It may be showing you what your life is asking for next.

The Happiness Formula For Your Next Chapter Apr 15, 2026

Arthur Brooks, author of The Meaning of Your Life: Finding Purpose In An Age of Emptiness, is a Harvard professor and social scientist who studies happiness and meaning.

Brooks simplifies happiness into three core ingredients:

enjoyment
satisfaction
meaning

His formula is:

Happiness = Enjoyment + Satisfaction + Meaning

This gives us a practical framework to ask:

What am I truly enjoying?
Where am I experiencing progress and satisfaction?
What gives this season of life meaning?

Especially in the empty nest season, this can become a beautiful guide for rediscovering identity and purpose.

If you’re the midlife mom of adult children who needs some support as you craft a next chapter filled with happiness, satisfaction, enjoyment, and meaning, I can help. I invite you to schedule a complimentary coaching call with me. Here’s the link:

Second Season vs. Next Season: Releasing the Pressure to Get It Right Apr 08, 2026

Second Season vs. Next Season: Releasing the Pressure to Get It Right

In today’s episode, we’re exploring the subtle difference between calling this chapter your “second season” versus your “next season.”

At first glance, second season can sound intentional and beautiful — but it can also carry an unspoken pressure:
This is it. This one needs to be right.

For many midlife women, especially moms navigating the empty nest and redefining identity, that language can feel heavy.

On the other hand, next season feels more spacious.

It reminds us that life unfolds in many seasons, not just two.
There is room to evolve, experiment, and change your mind.

This episode explores:

Why the phrase second season can feel high-pressure
How next season creates more emotional spaciousness
The freedom of knowing this chapter does not have to be final
Giving yourself permission to grow through many seasons of life

The heart of this conversation:
You do not need to get the rest of your life right.
You only need to choose your next season with intention.

Key Reflection Question

What would I choose for this next season if I knew I could evolve again?

If you’re the midlife mom of adult children who needs some support as you intentionally plan your next chapter, I can help. I invite you to schedule a complimentary coaching call with me. Here’s the link:

The Changes You Choose vs. The Ones You Don’t Apr 01, 2026

In this episode, we’re exploring the difference between the life changes we choose as midlife women and the ones that seem to happen to us.

Some changes arrive because we intentionally decide something needs to shift — our routines, our relationships, our homes, our health, or the way we want to live this next season.

Other changes come without invitation: children leaving home, changing family dynamics, body changes, loss, or unexpected transitions that can leave us feeling untethered.

The truth is, midlife often asks us to navigate both.

We may not always choose what happens, but we do get to choose how we respond, what meaning we make of it, and who we become through it.

This episode is an invitation to notice where life is changing around you, where you are being called to choose, and how to move through this season with more intention and self-trust.

If you’re the midlife mom of adult children who needs some support as you navigate the life changes you can both control and not control, I can help. I invite you to schedule a complimentary coaching call with me. Here’s the link:

Stop Trying To Find Your Purpose Mar 25, 2026

So many women feel the weight of the question: “What is my purpose?”
It can feel big, vague, and quietly intimidating—like there’s a “right” answer you’re supposed to figure out.

But what if the question itself is the problem?

This episode offers a gentler, more grounded approach.

Key Shift

Instead of asking:
“What is my purpose?”

Try asking:

What lets me feel a little more alive?

When do I notice feeling most like me?

Does this energize me - or does it drain or deplete me?

When do I notice feeling purposeful?

Why “Finding Your Purpose” Feels Heavy

It implies a single, fixed answer
It creates pressure to get it right
It keeps you in your head, searching and overthinking
It can make you feel behind or like you’re missing something

What It Means to Feel Purposeful

Feeling purposeful isn’t something you find once—
it’s something you experience in moments.

It often shows up when you are:

Engaged
Energized (not depleted)
Curious or interested
Connected to yourself or others
Doing something that feels meaningful, even in a small way

Better Questions to Ask Yourself

What made me feel energized this week?
When did I lose track of time?
What felt simple, natural, or like “me”?
What am I drawn to lately?
Does this energize me or deplete me?

The Truth About Purpose

Purpose isn’t something you chase—
it’s something you generate through how you live.

Small moments of aliveness create a life that feels meaningful.

Try This

Instead of waiting for clarity about your purpose:

Follow what feels engaging
Pay attention to your energy
Let curiosity lead before certainty

Closing Thought

You don’t need to figure out your entire purpose to create a life that feels deeply meaningful.

Start with what brings you to life—
and let that be enough to guide your next step.

If you’re the midlife mom of adult children who needs some support as you fill your life with meaning and aliveness, I can help. I invite you to schedule a complimentary coaching call with me. Here’s the link:

What Emotions To Expect After Your Kids Leave Mar 18, 2026

In this episode, we talk about the three emotional stages many women move through when their children leave home: Grief, Relief, and Joy.

These stages don’t always happen in a straight line. You may feel two of them at the same time, or circle back to one when holidays, visits, or life transitions happen. But recognizing where you are can bring a lot of clarity.

1. Grief: Letting Go of a Season

The first stage many women experience is grief. This isn’t just missing your children—it’s the quiet realization that a whole era of your life has ended.

You might notice:

What you might be feeling

A deep ache or heaviness in the house
Sudden waves of sadness at unexpected times
Emotional reactions to ordinary things (empty bedrooms, quiet mornings, fewer grocery bags)

What you might be doing

Looking through old photos
Replaying memories of school years, holidays, and routines
Talking about your kids a lot
Wondering where your purpose fits now

What you might not be doing

Feeling motivated to start something new
Making big life plans
Feeling excited about the extra time yet

This stage is about honoring what mattered. That chapter of life was real, meaningful, and beautiful.

2. Relief: Space Opens Up

Relief is the stage that many women feel guilty admitting. But it’s incredibly common.

After years of caregiving, logistics, and responsibility, there is suddenly… space.

What you might be feeling

Lighter
More relaxed in your own home
Curious about what you want again
Occasionally guilty for enjoying the quiet

What you might be doing

Sleeping in or going to bed earlier
Cooking simpler meals (or not cooking at all)
Leaving the house without coordinating schedules
Enjoying spontaneous plans

What you might not be doing

Constantly thinking about what everyone else needs
Running a tightly structured household
Managing everyone else’s emotions

Relief isn’t selfish. It’s the nervous system finally exhaling after years of responsibility.

3. Joy: Rediscovering Yourself

Joy comes when the empty nest starts to feel less like a loss and more like an opening.

This is where women begin reconnecting with parts of themselves that were set aside for years.

What you might be feeling

A sense of possibility
Excitement about creating something new
Confidence in this stage of life
Gratitude for both the past and the present

What you might be doing

Exploring hobbies or interests again
Rearranging or reimagining your home
Starting creative projects or new work
Investing more deeply in friendships or community

What you might not be doing

Defining yourself only as a parent
Waiting for your children’s lives to dictate your own
Feeling like the best part of life is behind you

Joy in the empty nest isn’t about replacing your children. It’s about reclaiming yourself.

A Final Thought

Most women move through all three stages at different times.

You might feel grief when your child leaves after a visit.
Relief on a quiet Sunday morning.
Joy when you realize your life still holds so much possibility.

None of these feelings are wrong.

They’re simply part of the emotional landscape of the empty nest.

If you’re the mother of adult children who needs some help navigating these emotional stages, I can help. I invite you to schedule a complimentary coaching call with me. Here’s the link:

What Are You Still Trying to Prove? Mar 04, 2026

Once the active years of motherhood have passed, we may find ourselves still trying to prove to or convince others that we are valuable and worthy.

Proving is similar to people-pleasing in which we’re “lying” to others in order to manage how they think or feel about us.

If you’re the mother of adult children who finds herself striving to prove that you’re still valuable and worthy, I can help. I invite you to schedule a complimentary coaching call with me. Here’s the link:

How To Live In Hope in the Second Season Feb 25, 2026

It’s not uncommon for moms of adult children in the second half of life to get stuck in fear - rather than managing fear while living in hope.

Courtesy of author Kate Swobota, “the fear chain/hope chain” exercise will help you uncover the limiting beliefs beneath your fears so that you can intentionally focus on what you hope will happen instead.

For example:

“If I’m not needed by my adult children, I’m afraid that I won’t spend time with them.”
“If I don’t spend time with them, I’m afraid that I’ll feel disconnected from them.”
“If I feel disconnected from them, I’m afraid that I won’t matter to them any more.”
“If I don’t matter to them any more, I’m afraid that I’ll be abandoned.”
“If I’m abandoned, I’m afraid that I’ll always be alone.”

So my real fearful belief is that being “needed” prevents me from being alone.

Now, we flip it.

“If I’m not needed by my adult children, I HOPE that they’ll be strong and independent.”
“If they are strong and independent, I hope that they’ll create lives they truly love.”
“If they create lives they truly love, I hope that I’ll be an important part of those lives.”
“If I’m an important part of their lives, I hope that we’ll remain deeply connected.”

I’m curious to know - what did you uncover?

If you’re the mother of adult children who finds herself stuck in fear, rather than living in hope, I can help. I invite you to schedule a complimentary coaching call with me. Here’s the link:

What If You Don't Want What You Think You Should? Feb 18, 2026

A simple coaching prompt stopped me in my tracks:

“Actually, I don’t want to ______ because…”

In this episode, we explore why so many of us chase goals we inherited—from culture, expectations, or a former version of ourselves—and how quiet resistance can be a form of wisdom.

This conversation is for you if you’ve been feeling oddly unmotivated, braced around certain “shoulds,” or unsure why a goal no longer fits.

You don’t need a new goal yet.
Sometimes clarity begins with naming what you no longer want.

If you’re the mother of adult children who might love some support as you clarify what you want or don’t want in the second season of life, I can help. I invite you to schedule a complimentary coaching call with me. Here’s the link:

Are You a Mom Stuck in Explanations? Feb 11, 2026

In the empty nest, long-standing explanations for why life can’t change often get louder. These stories once protected us—but now they may be quietly limiting our sense of agency, vitality, and connection.

1. The Pattern: Living in Explanation Mode

Constant reasons why change isn’t possible
Weight, marriage, energy, relationships, timing
Not laziness—protection
Explanations reduce risk, disappointment, and grief

“If it’s not my fault, I don’t have to risk failing… but I also don’t get to feel my power.”

2. Why This Shows Up in the Empty Nest

Fewer external demands
More time + space = more self-awareness
Old coping strategies resurface
Identity built on caretaking starts to loosen

3. The Hidden Cost

Stagnation
Quiet resentment or numbness
Others feel fatigued or disengage
Conversations circle, but nothing opens

4. The Shift: From Explaining to Experimenting

Not “take responsibility”
Try small experiments
- “What’s one thing I could try?”
- “What feels even slightly enlivening?”
- “What if curiosity replaced justification?”

5. For the Spouse, Friend, or Adult Child

What doesn’t help

Arguing with the explanation
Fixing or convincing

What helps

Reflect without rescuing: “That sounds heavy.”
Name choice gently: “I wonder what you want.”
Set boundaries when needed

“Loving someone doesn’t mean living inside their stuckness.”

6. Closing Reframe

Explanations are often fear in disguise

“Who am I when I no longer need a reason to stay the same?”

If you’re the mother of adult children who feels stuck in excuses or explanations, I can help you easily get unstuck. I invite you to schedule a complimentary coaching call with me. Here’s the link:

Empty Nesting: What's Actually Happening vs. The Story We're Telling Feb 04, 2026

What if some of the hardest parts of empty nesting aren’t the circumstances themselves—but the stories our nervous system tells about them?

In this episode, we explore the difference between real empty nest changes and the meaning we attach to them when we’re unsettled or dysregulated. Drawing from ADHD and nervous system concepts, we look at why grief and anxiety can surface even when nothing is “wrong,” and how separating fact from story can restore clarity and agency.

If you’re the mother of adult children who might love some support as you identify and challenge your own “stories” about this stage, I can help you easily get unstuck. I invite you to schedule a complimentary coaching call with me. Here’s the link:

How To Habit As the Mom of Adult Children Jan 28, 2026

Episode Description:

If your habits haven’t been what you wanted them to be so far in 2026, here’s a quick habit refresh for your consideration:

Identify whether you are an “abstainer” or a “moderator”. In her book, Better Than Before, author Gretchen Rubin explains:

“For abstainers, it’s easier to say no to everything than to say no to some things… moderators do better when they indulge in moderation, because occasional indulgence heightens their pleasure and strengthens their resolve.”

When it comes to changing habits, is it easier for you to stop the habit altogether, or to aim to do the habit in smaller quantities or less frequently?

When you’re trying to start a new habit, is it easier to practice the new habit every single day for a very short period of time (abstain from missing a day) or to practice the habit a few times a week (moderately)?

According to James Clear in Atomic Habits:

“We don’t rise to the level of our goals - we fall to the level of our systems.”

In order to create a “system”, simply grab a piece of paper and write down the small, specific steps you’ll take in order.

For example, here’s my “daily walk system”:

At 4:45, put on shoes and coat.
Grab airpods and phone.
Leave the house.
Walk around the neighborhood.

The steps are clear and simple. When 4:45 hits, I don’t have to make a decision. I simply have to follow the steps.

If you’re trying to start a habit, it’s helpful to attach a “feeling state” to the new habit. For example, I’ll get the benefit of feeling energized if I walk for 15 minutes.

If you’re trying to stop a habit that no longer serves you, instead of focusing on what the habit is costing you, identify the immediate yet temporary benefit you get from the habit. For example, drinking while you make dinner might be giving you an escape from feeling restless or bored. Substitute a quick walk (moves the restless energy) and a Netflix show (solves for boredom) and you’re still getting the “benefit” without the long-term costs.

In Atomic Habits, James Clear also teaches that the best way to start and a sustain a new habit is to attach a valued identity to the habit or system:

“The most effective way to change your habits is to focus not on what you want to achieve, but on who you wish to become.”

Everytime I walk, write, cook, or meet with a client, I am showing up as an “exerciser”, “author”, “foodie”, or “coach”. These identities are important to me and I want to embody them as often as possible.

On the habit front, here are my favorite books for your consideration:

Atomic Habits by James Clear.

Better Than Before by Gretchen Rubin.

Finish: Give Yourself the Gift of Done by Jon Acuff

How To Create and Maintain Friendships As the Mom of Adult Children Jan 21, 2026

Moms of adult children often struggle to create or maintain emotionally mature relationships in the second season of life.

What if creating new connections can actually be simple, not complicated?

Here are my top three tips for creating and maintaining connections:

Be interested. No one wants to be impressed by you. Women want to feel seen and heard and that you’re genuinely interested in who they are.
1. The best way to do this is to ask them questions using the prompt:
  1. “I’m so curious… “
Be fun and entertaining. Bring the joy into every interaction you have with other women. Don’t be a “Debbie Downer”. Don’t complain.
Be willing to initiate activities with other women.

If you know you could use some help creating and maintaining connections as the mother of adult children, you can schedule a complimentary coaching call with me in January, 2026. Here’s the link:

How To Quietly Quit as the Mom of Adult Children Jan 14, 2026

I use the concept “quiet quitting” to describe the intentional decision to create an internal boundary regarding what we are no longer willing to do, be, or what or to whom we’re no longer willing to grant access to, or determining the amount of space you need between you and another person in order to truly love and accept them and yourself at the same time.

“Quitting” is not giving up - it’s deciding that you’re no longer willing to invest your limited time, energy, and resources into an activity or relationship.

“Quiet quitting” is not a reaction to an uncomfortable emotion like anger, fear, or sadness - it is an intentional response given our current needs and circumstances.

The Emotional Whiplash Moms of Adult Kids Feel When They Leave Again Jan 07, 2026

If you’re a mom of adult children and you’re feeling discombobulated after the holidays — this episode is for you.

When your kids come home, life often shifts into anticipation mode. We look forward to their arrival, savor the time together, and then suddenly… they’re gone. And you’re left trying to restart your life again.

In this episode, we talk about:

Why the transition after the holidays feels so emotionally jarring
How living in anticipation can quietly put your own life on hold
The four-part cycle we experience when our adult kids are coming home:
- Anticipation
- Connection
- Emptiness
- Recalibration

This isn’t about “bouncing back.”
It’s about honoring the transition — and learning how to live fully in the season you’re actually in.

How To Feel Better When You're Struggling As the Mom of Adult Kids Dec 31, 2025

In the second stage of motherhood, many women struggle to just “feel better”.

In this episode, we explore both top-down and bottom-up approaches to healing and wellbeing as the mom of adult children.

You’ll learn:

What top-down work looks like (mindset, values, identity, belief-shifting)
What bottom-up support includes (therapy, medication, nervous system care, lifestyle shifts)
Why insight alone doesn’t always bring relief
Why needing support at this stage of life is not a failure—but a biological and emotional reality
How integrating both approaches can create stability, clarity, and renewed meaning

This conversation is for moms with adult children who feel unsettled, exhausted, or unsure of what’s next—and want to stop judging themselves for how they’re feeling.

The second stage of life isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about learning how to truly support yourself.

How To Stop Anticipating Time With Your Adult Children Dec 24, 2025

In this episode, we explore the subtle but powerful difference between anticipation and presence — and how it impacts your daily peace and joy as the mother of adult children in your second season of life.

Anticipation pulls your mind into the future, imagining what hasn’t happened yet. While it can create excitement, it often keeps us in a state of waiting, overthinking, or low-grade anxiety.

Presence brings us back to the moment we’re in. It’s the practice of rooting ourselves where our body is, rather than living in a future we can’t control or a past we can’t change. Presence feels grounded, calm, and connected.

This episode invites you to notice where anticipation may be pulling you out of your life — and how gently returning to the present can restore a sense of ease and emotional steadiness.

I invite you to consider this question:

Who might you be and what might you do if you didn’t wait for the text, call, or visit today?

Gifts Your Adult Children Really Want - Part 2 Dec 17, 2025

On tonight’s episode, we’ll discuss 10 more “gifts” a mother can give her adult children that cost nothing but create emotional spaciousness, safety, and connection. These acts of emotional generosity will help your relationship grow, breathe, and thrive.

The Best Gifts a Mother Can Give Her Adult Children (That Money Can’t Buy)

11. A Soft Landing, Not a Sticky Trap

Offering warmth, humor, listening, and ease when you’re together — the kind of presence that makes them want to come back.

12. Flexibility Instead of Fragility

Being adaptable to schedules, changes, and realities — without pouting, withdrawing, or dramatizing.

13. Trust in Their Competence

Believing they can handle their lives.
Letting them struggle, solve, grow, and get stronger without rushing in.

14. Acceptance of Their Pace

Not needing frequent contact to feel connected.
Letting the relationship breathe without fear.

15. A Safe, Nonjudgmental Presence

A place where they can show up imperfectly without being evaluated, corrected, or advised.

16. Your Own Friendships and Community

So they don’t carry the weight of being your only source of belonging.

17. Emotional Congruence

Showing them someone who is living authentically — aligned, honest, humble, grounded.

18. Genuine Enjoyment

Letting your face light up when they walk into the room or call you — not with desperation, but with delight.

19. The Gift of Letting Go

Releasing the fantasy child, the fantasy relationship, the fantasy closeness — and loving the real adult in front of you.

20. Loving Them Without Needing to Manage Them

The simplest, hardest, and most beautiful gift:
I love you exactly as you are, and my life is full even when you’re not with me.

Gifts Your Adult Children Really Want Dec 10, 2025

On tonight’s episode, we’ll discuss “gifts” a mother can give her adult children that cost nothing but create emotional spaciousness, safety, and connection. These acts of emotional generosity will help your relationship grow, breathe, and thrive.

The Best Gifts a Mother Can Give Her Adult Children (That Money Can’t Buy)

1. A Life You Love and Live Fully

A purposeful, engaged, meaningful life so they never feel responsible for your happiness.
A parallel life, not a dependent one.

2. Emotional Lightness

Letting go of chronic complaining, negativity, or emotional heaviness so time with you feels nourishing, not draining.

3. Interesting Energy

Bringing new ideas, stories, perspectives, hobbies, or adventures to the table — not disguised advice, not commentary on their choices, but genuine aliveness.

4. Non-Needy Connection

Not depending on them as your primary social, emotional, or practical support system.
Knowing they are not your “everyday people.”

5. Celebration of Their Independent Life

Being truly happy when they make plans with friends, partners, coworkers, or communities — without taking it personally.

6. Respect for Their Autonomy

Honoring the life they’re building, the choices they’re making, and the people they love.
Cheering for them from the sidelines, not trying to run onto the field.

7. Mature Communication

Texts that are warm and simple.
Phone calls that don’t become marathons.
Conversations that feel like choice, not obligation.

8. Emotional Self-Regulation

Managing your own anxiety, triggers, expectations, and disappointments so they never feel like they have to soothe or stabilize you.

9. Boundaries That Feel Like Love

Letting them come and go without guilt, emotional punishment, or subtle manipulation.
Showing that your love isn’t measured by access.

10. Curiosity Without Control

Asking about their life from a place of curiosity, not wanting influence.
Letting them tell their own story without over-responding.

Navigating Depression and Anxiety As A Mother of Adult Children Nov 26, 2025

As the mother of adult children, it’s normal to feel occasional sadness and worry. But when sadness becomes depression, and worry is a symptom of anxiety, it’s time to consider getting help.

This episode helps you understand the difference between normal transitional feelings and signs that you may need additional support from a therapist or doctor.

Key Takeaways:

The empty nest is often described as a loss that comes without a funeral. There’s no ceremony, no community ritual, no structured grief process. Suddenly:
- Your identity shifts
- Your routine changes
- Your purpose feels blurry
- Your home feels different
- And long-buried emotions have space to surface

- A certain amount of sadness, nostalgia, and disorientation is part of the process. But depression is when those emotional dips become your emotional baseline.

You may be dealing with transitional sadness if you…

- Have occasional tearfulness
- Feel tender or nostalgic
- Miss your old routines
- Have lower motivation for a few days
- Feel sad but still have moments of connection, laughter, or hope

You may be dealing with depression if you…

- Wake up feeling hopeless more days than not
- Notice a loss of interest in things you used to enjoy
- Feel chronically tired or numb
- Struggle to get basic tasks done
- Experience changes in sleep or appetite
- Feel like life has lost its color or meaning

- If you’ve been feeling this way for two or more weeks—and it interferes with daily functioning—it’s time to reach out.

You may be dealing with normal anxiety if you…

- Worry about your kids but can redirect yourself
- Feel restless or overthink occasionally
- Have days of feeling “off” but can still function

You may be dealing with anxiety that needs support if you…

- Have constant rumination you can't shut off
- Feel physically activated (tight chest, racing heart)
- Catastrophize or spiral into worst-case scenarios
- Avoid certain situations because of worry
- Feel like your fear is running the show

Persistent anxiety is not a personality flaw—it’s a physiological and cognitive loop that often responds beautifully to therapy and, in some cases, medication.

Consider therapy or speaking with a doctor if:

Your symptoms have lasted 2+ weeks consistently
You’re not functioning like you normally do
You’re withdrawing socially
You’re having intrusive thoughts you can’t control
You feel like you’re “losing yourself” or emotionally drowning
Your anxiety feels constant, physical, or uncontrollable
Your world starts shrinking because you’re trying to manage your feelings
You’re using alcohol, food, or avoidance to cope

How To Experience a Happy Empty Nest Nov 19, 2025

So many women in the empty-nest season find themselves waiting to feel “ready,” “clear,” or “purposeful” before they allow themselves to feel happy. In today’s episode, we explore a powerful reframe inspired by this Dan Sullivan quote from his best-selling book, The Gap and the Gain: “Happiness is not something you pursue. Happiness is not somewhere in the future. Happiness is where you start, not where you finish.” If you’ve been telling yourself that you have to “earn” happiness as an empty-nester, this episode will show you how to use joy and appreciation as the fuel you need to strengthen your happiness muscle.

Key Takeaways

Happiness isn’t found at the finish line - it’s where we start.
Happiness is not a reward - happiness is meant to fuel you as you create the life you desire.
Happiness isn’t a milestone - it’s a muscle we must strengthen daily by being present.
When you ground yourself in the present moment and notice and feel joy and appreciation, you are starting with happiness.
When you’re unsure what’s next, follow what feels alive. Joy is often your soul’s internal GPS.
You don’t have to wait for happiness to arrive. You are the source of it.
Everything you build from this starting point becomes more aligned, authentic, and deeply you.

Questions for Your Consideration:

“What would make today feel good?”

“What might feel joyful?”
“What am I intentionally willing to appreciate today?”
“What might make me happy today?”

If you know you could use some support as you buld the happiness muscle in the empty nest stage, email me to schedule a complimentary happy hour call:.

Embracing a "Gain Mindset" As An Empty-Nester Nov 12, 2025

Episode Summary

Do you ever look around your quiet home and wonder, “What now?”
Your kids are thriving, but you feel… stuck. It’s easy to measure your life by what’s missing — the noise, the busyness, the clear sense of purpose you once had.

In this episode, we explore a powerful concept from Dan Sullivan’s book The Gap and the Gain - the idea that fulfillment comes from how far you’ve come, not how far you still have to go. When you shift from living in the gap (what’s missing) to the gain (what’s grown), you begin to see yourself — and your life — in a whole new light.

If you’re a former stay-at-home mom navigating the empty nest stage and craving a renewed sense of joy, purpose, and self-expression, this episode will help you find fulfillment not by doing more, but by seeing more of what’s already here.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

What it means to live in “the gap” — and why it drains your confidence and joy
How to recognize and celebrate “the gains” you’ve already made through motherhood
Simple mindset shifts to measure progress by growth, not by goals

Episode Highlights

1️. Understanding “The Gap”
When we measure ourselves against an ideal version of who we think we should be, we always come up short. The “gap” keeps us focused on lack — on what’s not done, not perfect, not yet discovered.

2️. Shifting into “The Gain”
The “gain” is what happens when you measure yourself against where you started. It’s the recognition that you’ve already grown — in wisdom, strength, compassion, and creativity — through the years of raising your family and building a home.

3️. Living from the Gain
From this new perspective, you start to see daily life differently. Instead of saying, “I’m behind on finding my purpose,” you might say, “I’m already rediscovering what lights me up.”
You begin to notice how much beauty and growth already exists within you — and how it can shape what’s next.

Reflective Journal Prompts

What qualities have I developed through motherhood that I’m proud of?
How have I grown in the past 10 or 20 years?
What do I now know about myself that I didn’t before?
What are three “gains” I can celebrate today?

Quotes From The Gap and The Gain by Dan Sullivan:

“The way to measure your progress is backward against where you started, not against your ideal.”

“Being in the GAIN means you measure yourself backward, against where you were before. You measure your own progress. You don’t compare yourself to something external. You don’t measure yourself against your ideals.”

“If you focus on what you lack, you lose what you have. If you focus on what you have, you gain what you lack.”

“Your future growth and progress are now based in your understanding about the difference between the two ways in which you can measure yourself: against an ideal, which puts you in what I call ‘the GAP,’ and against your starting point, which puts you in ‘the GAIN,’ appreciating all that you’ve accomplished.”

Takeaway:

You don’t have to reinvent yourself overnight. You just have to notice how far you’ve already come.
The empty nest isn’t an ending — it’s your invitation to come home to you again: wiser, deeper, and freer than ever.

Boredom As An Empty-Nester Nov 05, 2025

In this episode, we explore boredom — that restless, itchy feeling that something’s missing, even when life is calm. After years of being needed and scheduled, the quiet can feel both freeing and frustrating. Boredom isn’t a sign of failure — it’s a sign of readiness. Your soul is waking up and looking for new places to pour your energy and creativity. Key Takeaways:

Boredom is restlessness without direction — it means you have energy again but nowhere meaningful to place it yet.
After years of structure and caretaking, your nervous system is adjusting to stillness.
The remedy isn’t more busyness — it’s curiosity. Ask yourself: “What lights me up now?”
Boredom can actually be a beautiful sign that you’ve rested enough to want more — it’s your inner spark flickering back on.
Give yourself permission to be in the in-between — not rushing to fill the space, but allowing inspiration to find you again.
Boredom is actually an invitation to explore the new and novel.

Reflection Questions:

Where do I feel that flicker of curiosity or desire lately — even if it’s faint?
What in my life feels predictable or stale?
What feels dull or repetitive in my days right now?
If I could design a day that felt engaging or alive, what would it include?
Where am I secretly craving adventure or risk?
What might feel playful or just for fun?
Where am I desiring novelty, beauty, or creativity?
What am I longing to learn, try, or express in this next season?
What might delight me today?

Try This:

Shift your routine — change your scenery, your music, or the rhythm of your day.
Give yourself permission to play again — try something new without the pressure to be good at it or to be “productive”.
Instead of asking, “What should I be doing?” ask, “What feels interesting or alive to me today?”
Engage your senses — cook something new, take a different route, listen to live music, visit an art gallery, or simply sit in nature.
Keep a “spark list” — jot down anything that stirs curiosity or delight, no matter how small.
Get curious about the type of play you enjoy:

Apathy as an Empty Nester — When You Feel Flat and Depleted Oct 29, 2025

In this episode, we unpack the quiet heaviness of apathy — that feeling of being flat, uninspired, or simply tired of caring. It’s not laziness or lack of motivation; it’s often your body and soul asking for rest. After decades of constant motion — raising kids, managing households, giving your all — apathy can surface when a major season ends. It’s the body’s way of saying, “I need to reset before I embrace the next season.”

Key Takeaways:

Apathy often follows intense seasons of output — like your child’s senior year, college prep, or the emotional labor of letting go.

It’s a signal that your energy reserves are low, not that something’s wrong with you.

Explore which of the seven types of rest you’re craving most:

Physical — Deep sleep, movement, relaxation

Mental — Stepping away from constant decision-making

Sensory — Reducing screen time, noise, and overstimulation

Emotional — Allowing yourself to feel instead of performing

Social — Spending time with people who replenish, not drain

Creative — Seeking beauty and inspiration

Spiritual — Reconnecting with meaning, purpose, or stillness

When you nourish the type of rest you’ve been missing, energy and clarity naturally return.

Remind yourself:

“Of course I’m not broken — I’m exhausted from the last season and in-between seasons right now.”

“It makes sense that I’m apathetic — I really need rest.”

You may even be thinking, “Why bother?” That’s your cue to pause and listen with compassion.

Reflection Questions:

What feels meaningless right now?
What used to light you up that’s feeling a little dim?
Where have you been overgiving or overpouring your energy?
Where have you been drained lately?
What allows you to feel just a bit more awake or alive?
Which form of rest have you been neglecting? What would one small act of restoration look like today?

Try This:

Detach from producing or outcomes and focus on what you’re feeling or experiencing.
Focus on what feels restful or soothing.
Focus on what helps you feel awake or alive — even in small ways.

Regret vs. Guilt in the Empty Nest Years Oct 22, 2025

As our kids grow up and leave home, many parents find themselves reflecting on the past — replaying choices, wondering what they could have done differently, and questioning the paths they took. In this episode, we explore the difference between guilt and regret — two emotions that often surface in the quiet of the empty nest, yet hold very different meanings and invitations.

In This Episode, You’ll Discover:

The subtle but powerful distinction between guilt (“I did something wrong and need to repair it”) and regret (“I wish I’d chosen differently”).
- REGRET is sorrow aroused by circumstances beyond one's control or power to repair.
- GUILT is the fact of having done something wrong or the state of feeling responsible for it.
How both guilt and regret can sometimes keep us stuck in self-blame and shame.

Key Takeaway:
Both guilt and regret can be powerful teachers — but only if we allow them to move us toward greater compassion and alignment, not punishment.

Tune in if you’ve ever found yourself thinking:

“I wish I’d been more present.”
“Did I make the wrong choice for my family — or for me?”
“How do I forgive myself for what I didn’t know then?”

Part 3 - Lifestyle and Structure Oct 15, 2025

In addition to struggling to redefine their identity/purpose and renegotiate their relationships and connections, empty-nesters may struggle to reimagine their new lifestyle and the structure of their days, weeks, and months.

They may feel:

a loss of routine, structure, and a sense of accomplishment without daily parenting tasks.
restlessness or boredom with too much unstructured time.
temptation to indulge in/buffer their emotions with distractions like food, alcohol, shopping, social media, or “staying busy”.

I invite you to consider these questions:

How do I want to play each day?
How do I want to have fun each day?
How do I want to rest each day?

What are my essential few:

Tasks
Priorities
Relationships
Habits
Routines

Part 2 - Why Relationships Can Be Challenging For Empty-Nesters Oct 08, 2025

There are three common challenges for empty-nesters:

Losing one’s identity or purpose
Missing convenient, organic relationships/craving meaningful connections
Struggling with a new lifestyle and daily structure

Relationships can feel challenging for empty-nesters if they:

experience marital/long-term partnership shifts—sometimes feeling like they’re living with a stranger now that it’s just the two of them.
crave deeper connection with adult children, yet don't know how to both honor their young adults’ independence while still feeling involved.
re-evaluate friendships that were centered around parenting.

Part 1 - Redefining Your Identity and Purpose As An Empty-Nester Oct 01, 2025

I’ve noticed these three common challenges for empty-nesters:

Losing one’s identity or purpose
Missing convenient, organic relationships/craving meaningful connections
Struggling with a new lifestyle and daily structure

Identity and purpose is challenging for empty-nesters if they:

are feeling like they’ve lost their sense of self after decades of being “mom first.”
don’t know what their gifts, passions, or talents actually are.
question their relevance and value now that their role as caregiver isn’t front and center.
struggling to figure out what’s next in life.

Your identity can be described as “the thoughts and beliefs you have about who you are and the roles you play.”

Your identity can also be discerned by what you value.

Use the VALUES INVENTORY link below, I encourage you to complete this prompt:

“I’m someone who values… “

How To Know What You Need Sep 24, 2025

When do you notice struggling to discern or communicate what you really need? Here are a few questions that might provide some much-needed clarity:

Am I willing to give myself the permission to have and communicate my needs?
Am I worried that I’ll burden someone else?
If I weren’t afraid of being a burden, what might I actually ask for?
Am I willing to give myself the same compassion I offer to others?
If my best friend felt the way I do right now, what might I offer?
Do I need something along the lines of:
- Space?
- Support?
- Comfort?
- Clarity?
Am I overwhelmed? Is my body tight, heavy, or agitated?
What does my body need in order to feel a bit more open, spacious, or lighter?
Do I feel safe?
What energizes me? What brings me joy?
What age of me needs something right now?

The Next Version Of You Will Thrive As An Empty Nester Sep 17, 2025

What if you’ve yet to meet the version of you who will actually love and thrive in the empty nest stage of your life?

But you might be wondering - how do I meet that version? How do I get to know her?

You begin by spending as much time as possible in the present moment. Ask yourself:

Am I focusing on something that’s happening in the present moment?
Is everything I’m experiencing right now figureoutable?

Using Regret Against Yourself In The Empty Nest Stage Sep 10, 2025

It’s common for mothers of adult children to experience regret over having:

worked outside of the home and missed time with their growing children
left a career to stay home and raise children, thereby losing temporary or permanent professional traction

We can either use regret as a catalyst to get curious about what we really value most and commit to creating that now, OR, we can stay stuck in disappointment and longing for a different past.

I invite you to consider these questions:

What can I use my time, energy, and resources to create now?
How willing am I to stop believing that NOW would be better or different if I had made a different choice back THEN?
How willing am I to accept that I’ll never be able to prove with 100% certainty that I made the wrong/right decision?
How might it have been the perfect decision to work outside the home?
How might it have been the perfect decision to stay home with your kids?

How To Reinvent Your Empty Nest From The Bottom Up Sep 03, 2025

When we work from the “bottom up”, we clarify what we need to strengthen in our foundations in order to build a life that is sustainably enjoyable and satisfying.

As an empty-nester you may be tempted to fill your days, stay busy, or bring in tons of new things. But, I invite you to reflect on your last or current stage, and get curious regarding what activities, commitments, and relationships you want to:

Keep?
Let go of?
Create anew?

I invite you to consider these questions:

How willing are you to focus on your foundational, essential few things in the empty nest stage?
How willing are you to tell yourself the truth about what needs to change before you craft a new normal in the empty nest stage?

Confidence and Self-Confidence As An Empty-Nester Aug 27, 2025

Confidence requires proof or evidence. Think of something you do really well and have evidence that you’re good at. You’re “confident” that you can do this thing well.

Self-Confidence does NOT require evidence. It is the commitment to yourself that regardless of what happens or what someone else says or does, you will have your own back.

We have our back by:

Sleeping/resting
Eating well/hydrating
Exercising
Monitoring our stress levels and calming or energizing our bodies when needed.
Saying NO when something doesn’t align with our value or when we aren’t willing or capable of meeting an expectation.
Talking kindly to ourselves.

I invite you to consider these questions:

What evidence do you have that you’re going to thrive in a new stage?
How willing are you to have your own back in this new stage?

The Easy, Essential Few In The Empty Nest Stage Aug 20, 2025

To champion and thrive in the empty nest stage, we must be willing to identify and prioritize the essential few activities, passions, and relationships that truly matter the most.

““The way of the Essentialist means living by design, not by default. Instead of making choices reactively, the Essentialist deliberately distinguishes the vital few from the trivial many, eliminates the nonessentials, and then removes obstacles so the essential things have clear, smooth passage. In other words, Essentialism is a disciplined, systematic approach for determining where our highest point of contribution lies, then making execution of those things almost effortless.”

― Greg McKeown, Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less

I invite you to consider these questions:

What are you willing to say NO to?
Who are you willing to say NO to?
What needs to come off your plate?
What do you intentionally want to prioritize going forward?

How To Stop Catering To Dysfunctional People Aug 13, 2025

So often in dysfunctional families, the members cater to the most dysfunctional person in the group, allowing that individual to set the tone.

This can also occur in the workplace, friend circles, or in any group of people in which the members “walk on egg shells” to appease and/or prevent an emotionally immature reaction.

I invite you to consider these questions:

When do you notice investing your limited time, energy, and resources into the lowest common denominator?
When do you allow someone who isn’t willing to increase their self-awareness to set the tone for your relationship?
How willing are you to ignore emotionally immature behavior?
How willing are you to challenge dysfunctional behavior with statements like:
- “That isn’t going to work for me.”
- “I’m not willing to do/accept that.”
- “I’m removing myself from this situation.”
- “I’m no longer available for this.”
Where in your life are you changing your words/actions in order to align with the lowest common denominator or person in the room instead of holding yourself to a higher standard and challenging others to rise to that level?
Where do you notice allowing others to set the tone in your relationships?

If you know you could use some support as you navigate setting boundaries with and communicating your needs in emotionally dysfunctional relationships, email me to schedule a complimentary happy hour call:

Only You Can Determine Your Value and Worth Aug 06, 2025

We cannot delegate the determination of our value and worth to other people. It’s almost as if we’re acting like hourly employees in our relationships with others and people-pleasing them in order to be “paid” with admiration, validation, or respect.

We are the only ones who can determine our value and worth and create relationships that align with that value and worth.

As a life coach, I’ve determined what I charge for coaching. Potential clients then get to decide if they want to invest in coaching. But, I don’t lower my prices in order to convince them to hire me. I wait to align with the clients who are ready to invest in the value I offer.

I invite you to consider these questions:

When do you notice acting like an hourly employee in your relationships?
How willing are you to determine your own worth and value?
What might prevent you from accepting what you’re worth?

Why Staying Busy and Having Hobbies Won't Fulfill You As An Empty-Nester Jul 30, 2025

The difference between rest/playing doing impactful “work” is experiencing the fulfillment that only comes when we challenge ourselves to utilize our gifts and talents.

When we rest, we are prioritizing these types of rest:

The 7 Types of Rest You Need

When we “play”, are are engaging in these types of activities:

Find Your Play Personality

But, when we’re engaged in impactful, meaningful “work”, we:

Identify our natural gifts:
- What comes easily to you?
- What do others seek you out to help them with?
Use and develop our gifts:

How can I apply my gifts?
How willing am I to “squirm” and challenge myself to grow my gifts?

Couple your gifts and passions (what you’re naturally curious about) to create a meaningful impact for another human being and feel fulfilled:
- Who might benefit from your passionate gifts?
- What is the smallest thing you can create that might impact another human?

The 2 Emotions Every Empty Nester Must Embrace Jul 23, 2025

There are two emotions I encourage you to practice feeling regularly in order to embrace life in the empty-nest stage: acceptance and willingness.

When we feel acceptance, we are thinking something along the lines of:

“I’m no longer going to argue with what is or what I need to do in order to thrive.”

We are more likely to:

step out of resistance and a tendency to complain
allow ourselves to feel all of our emotions and move through them
tell the truth about our current circumstances

And, we have a greater chance of creating:

states of satisfaction, peace, success, and delight
creating a new, better normal

When we feel willingness, we are thinking something along the lines of:

“I’m intentionally agreeing to this because it is necessary and valuable.”

We are more likely to:

get curious about the opportunities and possibilities in new chapters
focus on what we can create

And, we have a greater chance of:

discovering the new, novel, and possible
embracing exactly where we are

Finding Purpose As An Empty-Nester Jul 16, 2025

We overcomplicate feeling “purposeful” as empty-nesters. The solution is pretty simple - identify your gifts (what comes so easily to you that you may disregard it), and learn how to apply your gifts to your passions (anything you’re curious about or drawn to).

We encounter resistance to living our passion when we lack the awareness of our passions and gifts, and or the willingness or ability to champion or embody one or both.

“Your gifts don’t tell you what areas of life you’re passionate about - your own eyes tell you that (what you’re drawn to and interested in, what you could learn and talk about all day). Your gifts tell you now to apply yourself and what to bring to those areas to be successful at them, because you’ll be providing the best possible value you are able to bring. Leading with the things you’re good at will always be the best way you could ever possibly be received.”

Jenna Zoe

Human Design: The Revolutionary System That Shows You Who You Came Here To Be

Your Empty Nest Self-Concept Jul 09, 2025

“Your self-concept is simply the collection of thoughts that you have about yourself. These thoughts make up your beliefs about you and who you are. Your self-concept determines how you feel and it determines the results that you get (or don’t get) for yourself.”

Kristen Carder/Focused with Kristen Carder

I encourage you to take about 5 minutes to complete the following exercise:

Write down every thought or belief you have about yourself as an empty-nester - in other words, who you believe you’ll be, what you’ll be doing, what you want, etc.

Then, I invite you to read over your thoughts and beliefs with these questions in mind:

Which of your thoughts/beliefs were “given” to you by someone else?
- Do they serve you long-term?
Which of your thoughts/beliefs are fear-based Inner Critic patterns?

Inner Critic Assessment

Do they serve you long-term?

Which of your thoughts/beliefs actually allow you to feel hopeful, accepting, or excited about being an empty-nester?

I also invite you to seek out empty-nesters who are thriving and ask them:

What are you thinking or believing that is allowing you to thrive?
What are you feeling or doing?
What are you creating or prioritizing?

What Is Inflaming or Irritiating Your Life? Jul 02, 2025

“Freedom starts when you can identify the aggravation you’ve been accommodating for so long.”

Danielle LaPorte

When we’re “free”, we are intentional regarding how we invest our time, energy, and resources. When we’re “accodomating”, we’re buffering difficult emotions with unhelpful habits and choices.

I invite you to consider these questions:

Where in your life do things feel inflamed or monotonously irritating?
Why are you currently accommodating these aggravations?
If you stop accommodating, what are you afraid others will think, say, or feel about you?

Decision-Making Overwhelm Jun 25, 2025

We all struggle with decision-making at times, whether it’s packing for a trip, deciding what to spend money on, or what to change or shift in our lives.

Sometimes, decision-making can feel overwhelming, and even unsafe. Here are a few questions for your consideration:

What narratives play in your mind surrounding decisions?
- (ie: “If you make the wrong decision, the consequences will be irreparable.”)
How were you taught to make decisions?
Whose voice is in your head when you’re trying to make a decision?
What is this voice trying to keep you safe from?
What perceived negative consequences are you trying to avoid by resisting making a decision?

Why Moms Resist Help Jun 11, 2025

As mothers, we often resist asking for or receiving help because we don’t want to be a burden for others. Accepting help also frees us to work in our own Zone of Genius. You have the right to ask for and receive what feels like “help” to you.

Being in a state of hypervigilance can prevent us from asking for or receiving help. If we’ve experienced being let down by others, asking for help can feel too vulnerable.

Why Empty Nesters Aren't Satisfied With More Of The Same May 21, 2025

If you’re feeling unsatisfied, stuck, or unfulfilled in your empty nest stage, it’s likely because you’re trying to live the same life you shared with your children when they were home. Much as a full schedule fails to ensure fulfillment, staying stuck in the emptiness of a life stage that’s ended will not be satisfying. We must be willing to create a different life once our children grow up and move on.

While we’re raising children, we often lack the time, training, or awareness to prepare for this next stage of life.

Here’s how I recommend that you begin to differentiate your life in the empty nest stage:

Explore these 12 identities and begin to experiment with them:

Artist/creator
Explorer/seeker
Caregiver/nurturer
Teacher/sage
Performer/entertainer
Visionary/innovator
Athlete/warrior
Builder/engineer
Healer/alchemist
Advocate/activist
Storyteller/communicator
Organizer/steward

Ask yourself - if I showed up in my life as an (insert identity), what would I:

Prioritize?
Feel passionate about?
Find purposeful?

If you know you could use some support and encouragement as you expand your own identities in the empty nest stage, email me to schedule a complimentary happy hour call:

A New Way To Measure Success As A Parent May 14, 2025

I invite you to reconsider the way that you measure your success as a parent with these indicators:

Did you keep showing up even when it was challenging and you were “squirming” because you didn’t know “everything”?
Did you offer your kids opportunities to find and develop their passions and interests?
Did you make continuous progress as a parent because you were willing to keep trying new approaches to parenting and acknowledging when you made a mistake and repairing it?

How to Flourish As An Empty Nester With New Identities May 07, 2025

If you’re in your empty nest stage of life or on the brink of it, it’s crucial that you prioritize identities in addition to being a “parent” or “mother”.

I invite you to consider exploring these new identities… are you a/an:

How To Get What You Want Faster Apr 23, 2025

If you notice that you’re no longer making progress towards your goals or you don’t have the results that you want, you have two options:

Rely on trusted tips, strategies, habits, and tools that have worked for you in the past
Accept that you might need to increase your self-awareness by trying and learning something new

I invite you to consider these questions:

How willing are you to try something new when you’re no longer making progress?

Is It A Gut Instinct - Or, Are You Just Really Anxious? Apr 16, 2025

When we say “trust your gut” or “trust your instinct”, we are referring to the ability to:

“... the sudden flash of insight from deep within can inspire plenty of faith… trusting these feelings of intuition, often as a way to stay true to yourself… following your instinct can certainly direct you toward the best path for you. And yet, you might wonder whether you should put so much trust in a feeling, an instinct you can’t explain.Wouldn’t sticking to logic and reason help you make better decisions?Not always. Science suggests intuition can be a valuable tool in some circumstances.”

“Gut Feelings Are Real, But Should You Really ‘Trust Your Gut’?”

Crystal Raypole/Heathline

Signs of a gut feeling

a flash of clarity
tension or tightness in your body
goosebumps or prickling
stomach “butterflies” or nausea
a sinking sensation in the pit of your stomach
sweaty palms or feet
thoughts that keep returning to a specific person or situation
feelings of peace, safety, or happiness (after making a decision)

There can be times when we question whether we’re getting a gut instinct or feeling deeply anxious or paranoid.

3 Ways To Prepare For An Empty Nest Apr 09, 2025

According to Psychology Today, “empty nest syndrome” is:

“Empty nest syndrome refers to the distress and other complicated emotions that parents often experience when their children leave home.”

In order to navigate these uncomfortable emotions and this new stage, here are a few suggestions:

Begin to prioritize who you will invest time and energy into in this new phase of life.
Start to declutter your home, life, and calendar in order to create space for your new chapter.
Commit to letting go of anything that is not you so that you can spend your time being, doing, and creating what is authentically true for you. Ask yourself:
1. How can I be more me?

Stop Treating Others Like An Audience Apr 02, 2025

If you are “performing” for others, you are trying to impress others, or seeking attention from them almost as if they’re your audience.

When we’re deeply connected to others, we are present, interested, and curious about the other person.

Here are a few questions for your consideration:
When do you notice talking AT other people, rather than engaging with them?
What is your intention for doing so?
When do you notice being treated like an audience for another person? How does that make you feel? Why do you endure this?
Are you performing to impress others, or trying to understand them, and connecting with them?

How To Make Happiness Inevitable Mar 26, 2025

“Happiness is not a feeling… one of the biggest reasons people don’t get happier is that they’re chasing a feeling… feelings are evidence of happiness… the three parts of happiness are enjoyment, satisfaction and meaning.”

Arthur C. Brooks/author

Build the Life You Want: The Art and Science of Getting Happier.

According to Brooks,

if you want to get happier,

you must develop

the skills needed to:

enjoy your life
get satisfaction in your accomplishments
understand the meaning of your existence

In order to

find what you

really enjoy,

ask yourself:

What is enjoyable for me to:
- touch?
- taste?
- smell?
- see?
- hear?
What acts of human goodness, kindness, or compassion bring me joy?
What can I do to relieve someone’s suffering?
What do I find witty, humorous, or amusing?
Whose achievements do I delight in celebrating?
What do I find beautiful, surprising, or amazing?
What connections to people, places, nature, causes, spirit, or religion feel enjoyable to me?

How Adults Play

How To Rest

Here are a few questions

to help you

remember what

truly satisfies you:

When do I notice feeling content because I’ve done something I want to do?
When do I notice feeling content because I’ve done something I need to do?

To help you

get curious

about creating a

meaningful life,

here are a few questions:

How often am I present right here, right now?
Am I attempting to balance the trivial many, or prioritizing the essential few?
Have I identified my inherent gifts, and am I using them to contribute to others?
Am I generous to others?
Am I aware of why I do what I do?
Do I make time for my passionate talents and favorite hobbies?
Do I spend my time with energizing people?
Do I give my dreams, goals, and positive thoughts as much air time as I devote to my frustrations, complaints, and gripes?
Am I grateful?

If we want

to be happy,

get in the habit

of solving for what prevents

you from:

enjoying your life
feeling satisfied
living a meaningful life

How To Finally Stop Overthinking Mar 19, 2025

I’m thrilled to share with you a brilliant resource I just found:

Overcoming Overthinking, Ruminating, and Intrusive Thoughts Workbook

Licensed Therapist, Suzette Bray, shares her professional insights, tips, and strategies for overcoming these three unhelpful thought patterns.

When we’re overthinking, we’re stuck in thinking about the future in the form of worries, what ifs, and worst-case scenarios. We likely experience “analysis paralysis” and may find it difficult to make decisions.

Courtesy of L Suzette Bray, here are a few questions:

How often do you catch yourself in a “what if” thought loop?
How often do you second-guess or overanalyzeyour decisions?
When considering your future, how often are you imagining worst-case scenarios?
How difficult is it for you to move on after you make a decision?

Try this:

For 3 minutes, write down all of your worries, what ifs, and worse-case scenarios. When the timer goes off, say this to your brain:

“You’ve had your turn to overthink. Now we’re moving on.”

When we’re ruminating, we’re stuck in looping thoughts regarding things that have already happened in the past. Ruminating doesn’t solve anything - it keeps us stuck in resentment, regret, anger, and frustration.

Here are a few questions:

Do you find yourself replaying past events over and over as you criticize your actions, words, or decisions?
How often do you dwell on past mistakes or regrets?
Do you tend to fixate on past conversations and imagine better responses?
When thinking about the past, do you get stuck in a loop?

Try this:

Get yourself back into the present moment by:
- Getting up and moving
- Smell something
- Taste something
- Listen to music or something comforting
- Touch something like a pet or soft blanket
- Look at something that delights you like pictures or something in nature

When we’re contending with intrusive thoughts, we may notice that disturbing, violent, or inappropriate thoughts pop into your mind seemingly out of nowhere, much like junk mail in your mailbox. Intrusive thoughts don’t mean anything about your character.

Here are a few questions:

Do you ever experience random, disturbing thoughts that pop up out of nowhere?
When you have an intrusive thought, how does it make you feel? Ashamed?
How often do you worry about the meaning of your intrusive thoughts?
Do you find yourself trying to suppress or push away these thoughts?

Try this:

Call out the thought:
- “My brain is telling me that because my back hurts, I must be dying of cancer.”
Desribe the physical sensations that accompany the thought:
- “There’s the whoosh of anxiety in my chest.”
Notice the time:
- “I wonder how long the sensation will last this time.”

A Diagnosis Is Not a Label - It's A Plan Mar 12, 2025

A diagnosis for a mental health disorder is not meant to label you or become part of your identity. A diagnosis is intended to provide you with the information you need to work with a professional to create a plan that will allow you to thrive as you curate a life that is sustainably satisfying to you.

Here’s how the Mental Health Management Group (MHMG) explains a diagnosis:

“A mental health diagnosis is a clinical assessment made by a mental health professional to determine whether a person meets the criteria for a specific mental health disorder or condition. Mental health diagnoses are based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), which the American Psychiatric Association publishes.

A mental health diagnosis is made after a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation that includes a clinical interview, a review of the person’s medical history, and a discussion of their symptoms and impact on daily life. A mental health professional may also use standardized assessments and rating scales to help with the diagnostic process.

The purpose of a mental health diagnosis is to provide a framework for understanding a person’s symptoms and to guide the selection of appropriate treatments. It can also help mental health professionals communicate with each other about a person’s condition and ensure that they receive the most effective care.

It’s important to note that a mental health diagnosis is not a label or a judgment of a person’s character or worth. Instead, it is a tool to help mental health professionals provide the best care possible and improve a person’s quality of life.”

According to MHMG, here are some frequently asked questions:

1.Who can diagnose a mental health condition?

A mental health condition can be diagnosed by a licensed mental health professional, such as a psychiatrist, psychologist, clinical social worker, or professional counselor.

2.What are some common mental health diagnoses?

Some common mental health diagnoses include anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), eating disorders, and personality disorders.

3.How is a mental health diagnosis made?

The diagnostic criteria for mental health conditions are based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). A mental health diagnosis is typically made through clinical interviews, observations, and assessments. A mental health professional will gather information about a person’s symptoms, medical history, and family history. They may also use standardized assessments and rating scales.

4.Can mental health diagnoses change over time?

Yes, mental health diagnoses can change over time. As symptoms change, improve and evolve; a diagnosis may be revised or updated to reflect a person’s current condition. Additionally, some mental health conditions can be comorbid, meaning that a person may have more than one diagnosis simultaneously. Mental health disorders, such as depression, PTSD, and anxiety, can also improve because of changes a person has made by developing improved coping skills, life circumstances, or advanced alternative treatments such as TMS or Ketamist (™), resulting in the remission of symptoms.

5.Should I be worried about getting a mental health diagnosis?

No, you should not be concerned about getting a mental health diagnosis. A mental health diagnosis is a tool to help mental health professionals better understand your symptoms and develop an appropriate treatment plan. Having a diagnosis can help you access the right treatments and support to manage your condition effectively. It’s important to remember that a diagnosis does not define you, and seeking help for mental health concerns is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Why You Can't Build Momentum Unless You're in Motion Feb 26, 2025

We don’t build momentum before we get “moving”. First, we get into motion, then we create momentum.

Here are a few strategies to try in order to build momentum:

On paper, brainstorm any tasks you’ve been waiting to do until you build momentum or “feel” like it.

Block off time on your calendar to focus.

Practice the Pomodoro productivity technique:

Pomodoro Technique

Buy a time cube here:

Turn off noise so that you can tap into your inner, wise voice:

When you drive your car, do so without a podcast, music, or talking on the phone.
Take a walk without listening to anything other than what’s in nature.

How willing are you to experiment with the Pomodoro technique?

How To Be Kind To Someone You Don't Like Feb 12, 2025

When we don’t “like” someone, it’s often because we aren’t compatible with them or to them. It’s likely that our values, views, habits, passions, or priorities just don’t match.

When you notice that you don’t like someone, try this:

“I’m noticing that I don’t like him/her. I wonder if it’s because we aren’t compatible.”

I invite you to consider these questions:

When do you notice not wanting to spend time with certain people?
How willing are you to give yourself the permission to be incompatible with others?
When do you notice expecting others to change so that you will like them?
When do you notice forcing yourself to change so that others will like you?
How willing are you to dig a little deeper when you notice having resistance to another person?

When They CAN But Won't Feb 05, 2025

Dr. Stuart Ablon, creator of Think:Kids, bases his work with “challenging” kids on this six-word philosophy:

“Kids do well if they can.”

The implication in these six words is that kids want to do well but don’t have the skills to do so.

Ablon is also the author of the book Change-able: How Collaborative Problem Solving Changes Lives at Home, at School, and at Work:

Change-able

Here’s a terrific interview with Dr. Ablon:

Rethinking Challenging Kids

I invite you to consider these questions:

When do you notice wanting to do well yet lacking the skills to do so?
When do you notice wanting to do well yet being unwilling to make changes?
When do you notice getting frustrated with someone who wants to do well but can’t?
How do you tend to respond to someone who doesn’t want to change?

When To Make a Clean Break Jan 29, 2025

A “clean break” is a definitive end or intentional closure. We often avoid “clean breaks” in regard to habits, relationships, companies, or situations, because we are people pleasing or trying to control the thoughts or emotions of others. We mistakenly believe that the discomfort we’ll feel in the moment is not something that we can endure or handle. But, temporary discomfort will pale in comparison to long-term suffering.

I invite you to consider these questions:

When do you notice avoiding a clean break?
What are you worried you might feel or experience with a clean break?
When do you notice using FOMO as an excuse to avoid a clean break?

What You Really Need And How To Get It Jan 22, 2025

“Why do we do the things we do? Why is it that we measure success and value by attention and status, yet frown upon complacency? What force drives and shapes all of our emotions, actions, quality of life and, ultimately, our destinies? Did you know that the answers to these questions can all be explained by learning about the 6 human needs?”

Tony Robbins

Our NEEDS are our requirements as human beings:

certainty
uncertainty
significance
love and connection
growth
contribution

“All dysfunctional behaviors arise from the inability to consistently meet these core needs. But people’s needs aren’t just behind the bad decisions we make – they are also behind all of the great things humans accomplish. Understanding your own needs and psychology can not only help you avoid toxic behaviors and habits but can also help you achieve your goals.”

Tony Robbins

I invite you to consider these questions:

Which of the six human needs are currently being met in your life?
Which aren’t?
When is your need for certainty at the expense of your need for variety?
When is your need for variety at the expense of your need for certainty?
When is your need for significance at the expense of your need for love and connection?
When is your need for love and connection at the expense of your need for significance?
When is your need for growth at the expense of your need for contribution?
When is your need for contribution at the expense of your need for growth?

How To Take Down The Parts Of Your Life That No Longer Serve You Jan 20, 2025

If you’re willing and/or ready to take down or release the parts of your life that no longer serve you, here’s how I suggest that you begin to do so:

tackle the physical clutter
- start with the smallest spaces (drawers) and with the things you don’t really care about or feel attached to

move on to sentimental physical belongings, relationships, acquaintances, or habits that no longer serve you
now that you’ve built momentum, you can begin to identify and release the “big” trees or “challenging NOs” like a career or job, relationship, a location, or a long-term obligation
- you may want or need the support of a coach, therapist, or trusted mentor to begin to release these types of things

The discomfort you may feel as you release things from your life will pale in comparison to the long-term space and relief you’ll experience on the other side of letting go.

How To Be A Friend Others Celebrate Jan 15, 2025

In celebration of the life of my beautiful college friend, Christine Marquise, I’d like to highlight what made her wonderfully brilliant, as there is so much to be learned from her legacy.

Christine, or “Ollie”, as we lovingly called her, was an energizing, rather than depleting or draining friend. Here’s why:

She was emotionally mature and willing to be emotionally vulnerable
She gave her friends “equal air time” by listening and asking questions
She didn’t compete with friends (from a place of superiority) or get stuck in comparison-itis with friends (from a place of inferiority). She brought her best self to the friendship and wanted others to do the same.
She was physically, emotionally, and mentally present without the distraction of her phone.

Inner Critic Assessment

I invite you to consider these questions:

How willing are you to share vulnerably with your friends without dumping
How aware are you in your friendships of listening more than you talk?
How willing are you to get curious about how competition and comparison-itis might be showing up in your friendships?
How willing are you to be present in your friendships

I invite you to consider these questions:

What do you want to stop doing?

What To Expect When You Birth Something Different Dec 25, 2024

Birthing something new in your life will be:

Painful
Uncertain
Confusing
Disappointing

But feeling these emotions doesn’t mean that you’re on the wrong track. In order to “birth” your own version of different, you must be capable of and willing to feel “negative” emotions.

I invite you to consider these questions:

When do you notice quitting on your goals or dreams when they feel uncomfortable or painful?
How willing are you to ask for help in order to create your different life?

What You Always Have A Right To Dec 18, 2024

Years ago, my beloved therapist, Meg, gave me a “Personal Bill of Rights”. Admittedly, at that time, I wanted to want to believe everything on the page, but I didn’t… yet. But thanks to years of personal development with the help of therapists and coaches, today I practice and embody every right on the list. You can too, my friend.

If there’s a “right” that you really want to believe, I invite you to practice these prompts:

“I want to want to believe that… “
“It’s possible that I have a right to… “
“I’m willing to consider that I deserve… “

I invite you to consider these questions:

What did you notice feeling when you read this Bill of Rights?
How willing are you to create your own?
What might prevent you from doing so?
As you listened to tonight’s episode, did a specific relationship come to mind?

You're Righteous - Not Right Dec 04, 2024

When we are trying so hard to be “right”, we often become “righteous” and believe ourselves to be intellectually, morally, emotionally, or mentally superior to others, and we blame those who disagree with us.

When we’re in integrity, we are empowered to align our words and actions to our own core values. While we may challenge (respectfully) beliefs or decisions different from our own, we don’t persecute or bully from a place of blame.

I invite you to consider these questions:

When do you notice tipping into a “righteous” habit? How willing are you to course-correct in order to pivot back into integrity?
When do you notice feeling mentally, emotionally, politicallly, religiously, or spiritually superior to others?
What benefit do you get from feeling superior? What is it costing you?

What Healthy, Secure Friendships Really Are Nov 27, 2024

Healthy, secure friendships must be based on these three beliefs:

“I want my friends to have other friends.I don’t get to decide who my friends choose as friends.”
“My friends don’t have to love what I love or value what I value. We aren’t going to be 100% compatible.”
“I want to make sure that I give my friends equal air time.”

I invite you to consider these questions:

Which of your current friendships are genuinely healthy and secure?
How willing are you to celebrate your friends having other friends?
How willing are you to be responsible for finding matches for your wants and interests?
How willing are you to give your friends equal air time?

Gathering More Information Won't Allow You To Change Nov 20, 2024

There is a difference between collecting information and applying it. We can know and understand, but if we don’t use the information and understanding in our daily lives, we aren’t really growing or expanding.

I don’t believe that we need more information in order to make sustainable change. We might need a small amount of different information AND a simple and sustainable system for applying the information.

If you’re stuck, you might need:

different information
a sustainable, simple system for applying the information
a habit for managing uncomfortable emotions so that you can follow through with your system

I invite you to consider these questions:

How might it feel to practice thinking: “I know enough”?
What benefit do you get from collecting more information than you really need to change?
How willing are you to create a simple, sustainable system for making the changes that really matter to you?

How To Be Senstive To Others Without Self-Sacrificing Nov 13, 2024

We can be sensitive to the needs of others without sacrificing our own health, well-being, and relationships.

“... being sensitive to the emotional needs of others is actually about understanding other people’s emotional needs but not necessarily doing something about them. It can hold space without taking it on as something to fix. And, when we are really honest with ourselves about what belongs to us and what doesn’t, our capacity, our boundaries, and our values, it is easy to know when to hold space and when to try to meet their needs.”

Christie Inge

The Sensitive Soul

I invite you to consider these questions:

When do you notice setting yourself on fire in order to keep others warm?
When do you notice assuming that it is your responsibility to “fix” someone else’s emotions?
How willing are you to give yourself the permission to be sensitive to the emotional needs of others without having to do anything about them?

How To Boost Dopamine With A Menu Nov 06, 2024

“Dopamine is a neurotransmitter involved in the function of many areas of the body, such as digestion, sleep, learning and emotional health, including how one feels pleasure and reward… while other neurotransmitters, such as serotonin, also boost your mood, dopamine is a bit different because it's linked to reward and motivation. Essentially, you feel its release as you mark something off your list—big (a marathon) or small (finishing up meal prep for the week)... a dopamine menu is filled with activities and tasks that leave you with a sense of reward once they’re done. When you need a feel-good hit, you can choose something on your menu to improve your mood.”

“How To Make Your Own Dopamine Menu And Why It May Help Increase Happiness” by Elizabeth Shaw, M.S., RDN, CPT

Here’s an article for your consideration:

Dopamine Menu

Here’s a quick video:

Dopamine Menu Video

I invite you to consider these questions:

What are your dopamine entrees? How often do you get to indulge in these rewarding activities or experiences?
What are your dopamine appetizers? Can you enjoy them in less than 10 minutes?
What are your dopamine sides? Which boring, mundane tasks can you pair them with?
What are your dopamine desserts? What amount of time boosts dopamine without sending you into hyper-focus?

How To Know If You're A Good Person Oct 30, 2024

How do you really know if you’re a “good” person? First and foremost, please intentionally decide what your definition of “good” actually is. And, decide if you want to use the word.

I invite you to consider these questions:

In order for other people to think that you’re a “good” person, what do you need to keep, start, or stop doing?
In order for you to think that you’re a “good” person, what do you need to keep, start, or stop doing?
When does it serve you to use the word “good”? When doesn’t it?
How might it feel to decide that you want to be someone who is IN integrity?

How To Handle Being Excluded And How To Be Included Oct 23, 2024

“Other awareness” is one of the four pillars of emotional intelligence. When we are self-aware and know/understand why we do what we do, we naturally become more other-aware and cognizant of the people we encounter or are in relationship with in our lives.

If we lack other-awareness, we may unintentionally exclude others.

Often, we unintentionally exclude because we ourselves have been excluded and/or are fearful of being rejected.

I invite you to consider these questions:

When I feel excluded, how do I have my own back?
What prevents me from being aware of myself when I’m feeling excluded?
What prevents me from being aware of others?
When do I notice “groveling” to be included even when I’m sacrificing who I really am in order to avoid rejection?
When do you notice trying to be something or someone you’re not?
What prevents you from telling the truth about who you really are?
What prevents you from “putting yourself in rooms” with other like-minded people?

How To Stop Checking Obligatory Boxes Oct 16, 2024

We all fall into the habit of checking boxes in our professional and personal lives. “Boxes” are anything we feel obligated to do or be because we were conditioned to believe that by doing so, we would be right, successful, or happy.

In order to stop checking obligatory, arbitrary boxes in order to buy back time to intentionally create whole-hearted commitments, we must be willing to revisit every YES and intentionally decide if we want to continue to prioritize the investment of our valuable yet limited time and energy. In other words, we must be willing to re-commit to anything taking up space in our lives.

I invite you to do this:

On a piece of paper, write down every relationship (personally or professionally) you’re currently investing your time or energy into maintaining.
Write down every task, project, role, or commitment you’re currently saying YES to.
Next to each one, write a + IF investing in this relationship or activity energizes you.
Write a - next to the ones that deplete or drain you.
If something is neutral (not energizing OR depleting), leave it blank.
On a new piece of paper, transfer every relationship or activity that received a +.
I invite you to consider these questions:
- What is it about the + relationships that energize you?
- What is about the + activities/tasks/commitments that energize you?
- How does it feel to only see energizing relationships/commitments on the page?
- If this is what your life could look and feel like most of the time, how might you feel?
Go back to your initial list.
Take a black marker and cross out every relationship or activity that depletes you (you’re not actually going to do this yet or unless you choose to).
As you cross out the depleting/draining items, I invite you to notice how you feel. Do you feel:
- Guilty?
- Ashamed?
- Relieved?
- Afraid?
- Worried?
- Anxious?
- Spacious?
- Free?
- Energized?
- Intentional?
- Powerful?
- Mean?
- Crazy?
- Something else?

The Difference Between Consistent and Perfect Habits Oct 09, 2024

There is a difference between creating consistency in regard to your habits, routines, or rituals versus being attached to having perfect habits, routines, and rituals that are unsustainable.

(Based on Christie Inge’s blog post: “The Energy of Human Design Gate 5”.)

Christie Inge/Gate 5

Habits, routines, and rituals must be based on these three things:

Intentions: the direction you’re headed and/or your ideal
Needs: what you require to keep moving in the direction you want to head
Values: what matters the most to you

I invite you to consider these questions:

When do you notice trying to be “perfect” with your habits, routines, and rituals?
Which of your habits, routines, and rituals are easefully consistent?
What are your deepest intentions in your life?
What habits are preventing you from living those intentions?
What habits would support your intentions?
What are the clues in your life that your habits, routines, and rituals are actually working for you?

6 Human Needs

How To Clarify Who And What Makes You Anxious Oct 02, 2024

In The Science of Stuck: Breaking Through Inertia To Find Your Path Forward, author Britt Frank offers four “challenges” to undertake in order to discern when you feel anxious in the presence of another person:

CHALLENGE #1:

On one side of the paper list all of the stressful people with whom you spend time.
On the other side of the paper write: “My real feelings about him/her/them are… “
Then write: “I have a right to my feelings.”

CHALLENGE #2:

Make a list of all of the stressful tasks on your plate.
On the bottom of the page write:
“It makes sense that I’m feeling anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed. I’ll feel better if I tackle BLANK first.”

CHALLENGE #3:

Make a list of anything else that is causing you stress that is not a task or person (finances/work/health/etc.).
At the bottom of the page write: “Here are 5 things I can do in less than 5 minutes to feel 5% better.”

CHALLENGE #4:

“My anxiety makes sense. Anyone in my situation would feel anxious. I may not even understand it right now, but I’m not crazy.”

I invite you to consider these questions:

Which of these challenges resonated most deeply with you?
Which one challenge are you willing to experiment with today?

Why Anxiety Is Your Superpower Sep 25, 2024

In The Science of Stuck: Breaking Through Inertia To Find Your Path Forward, author Britt Frank likens anxiety to an “check-engine indicator light in a car”:

“The light (anxiety) itself isn’t the problem - it’s a signal pointing you toward a problem. Trying to ‘get rid of’ anxiety is as counterproductive as trying to disable the check-engine light on your car.”

She offers these bottom-line takeaways (and I paraphrase):

Anxiety serves as a check-engine light for your body.
Your brain is wired to keep you safe and alive - not happy.
A panic attack is not an attack. Your brain is talking to you.
The inability to feel pain is a weakness - not a strength.
Anxiety might require medical-management (medication).
Anxiety always comes from somewhere - even if you don’t know the somewhere.
Anxiety needs to be understood - not fixed.
A survival response will often look like an anxiety disorder.
You are not crazy.

Frank offers these “Do’s” for anxiety:

Tell yourself: “Just because I don’t know why I’m feeling like this doesn’t mean there’s not a really good reason for these feelings to be there.”
Remind yourself that your body is not attacking you. It is trying to help you.
Ask yourself if there are areas of your life you hesitate to address because you fear the outcome.
Talk to your doctor about medications and make sure you understand the side effects and potential for dependency.

I invite you to consider these questions:

Which of these takeaways resonated most deeply with you?
How willing are you to embrace a new mindset in regard to anxiety?
How willing are you to seek help in managing your anxiety?

What You're Not Available For Sep 18, 2024

When you notice your mind chattering with Inner Critic fear, worries, what if’s, or worse case scenarios, try this:

“I’m not available for anything that isn’t happening right here, right now.”

I invite you to consider these questions:

When do you notice your mind offering you worries, what if’s, or worse case scenarios?

ANXIETY Sep 04, 2024

In this podcast and book, both entitled Anxiety Rx, Dr. Russell Kennedy offers a different perspective when it comes to managing what we refer to as “anxiety”.

Here are a few of the takeaways from Kennedy’s work that have profoundly impacted how I manage anxiety and take care of myself:

Your mind gets fearful of the future and creates worries, what if’s, and worse scenarios.

Your body may hold onto past traumas in the form of A.L.A.R.M.S.:

Abuse
Loss
Abandonment
Rejection
Mature Too Soon
Shame

When your body is in A.L.A.R.M.S. your mind tries to make sense of these physical sensations by creating intrusive, struck anxious thoughts.

The only place to connect to your soul or most authentic self in the present moment.

Our real work becomes regulating our bodies when triggered, giving ourselves what we need now or needed “back then”, and then learning to manage our Inner Critics in the present moment in order to clear the way to re-connect with our truest self.

I invite you to consider these questions:

When do you notice your body experiencing A.L.A.R.M.S.?
How willing are you to learn how to regulate your nervous system?
How do you respond to anxious, intrusive thoughts?

What You Must Cut From Your Life Aug 07, 2024

“Be a curator of your life. Slowly cut things out until you’re left only with what you love, with what’s necessary, with what makes you happy.”

Author unknown

When we live a curated lifestyle, we intentionally live in a way that involves the purposeful selection of possessions, experiences, relationships, and people.

I invite you to consider these questions:

Which of your possessions are no longer necessary? Which do you no longer love? Which don’t you delight in or love?
Which experiences/commitments aren’t necessary? Which aren’t worth the investment of your limited yet valuable time, energy, or resources?
Which relationships have run their course or gone flat?

How We Allow Ownership Instead of Assigning Blame Jul 24, 2024

How To Create Different - Not More Jul 17, 2024

There is a difference between wanting, desiring, and creating something different in your life versus hustling, striving, and grasping for something more. Desiring and creating different comes from a place of abundance, sufficiency, and enoughness.

I invite you to consider these questions:

Are you willing to love and accept where you are, what you’ve accomplished, and what you have exactly as it is from a place of sufficiency and abundance?
Are you striving for something more from a place of inadequacy and scarcity?
How willing are you to create SPACE by:
- Stopping anything that isn’t serving you?
- Purging what you no longer need or love?
- Abstaining from new commitments, obligations, or self-sabotaging habits?
- Canceling anything that’s keeping you overloaded or shut down?
- Eliminating obligations, “shoulds”, or mental, emotional, or physical clutter?

It’s coming! A group experience designed to help you feel lit up, alive, inspired, and deeply fulfilled again, or, for the first time.

Why Filling Your Days Won't Fulfill You Jul 10, 2024

There’s a difference between staying busy because you’re filling your days with activities and being fulfilled because you’re making continuous personal and professional progress as you use your inherent gifts and talents to offer a meaningful contribution to others.

I invite you to consider these questions:

Are you making continuous personal or professional progress?
Have you identified your inherent gifts?
Are you developing these gifts and utilizing them to contribute in an impactful manner?
Are you prioritizing your passionate talents?

How To Resign From Being Resigned Jul 03, 2024

There is a huge difference between being “resigned” and intentionally “resigning.” When we’re resigned, it’s as if we’re unintentionally quitting, settling, or defaulting to stay stuck in an unpleasant circumstance, job, relationship, or pattern.

Contrast that to intentionally deciding to stop or leave what is no longer serving our growth, expansion, and well-being by offering a resignation.

I invite you to consider these questions:

What are you currently resigned to enduring?
What beliefs are keeping you in this place of resignation?
How does your body know that you’re in this place of resignation?
What do you intentionally want to decide to resign from?
What might prevent you from doing so?

If you know that you need help getting out of resignation so that you, too, can resign from anything that doesn’t serve your growth long-term, email me to schedule a complimentary happy hour call:

Why Good Habits Go To Sh*t Jun 26, 2024

We all have times when we seem to revert back to old “bad” habits - even when we’ve been doing a great job creating and maintaining new, “good” habits.

You’re likely returning to a habit that doesn’t serve your health, well-being, or relationships long-term because of the immediate although temporary benefits you get from the habit in the moment. In other words, our “bad” habits off us an escape or an opportunity to numb or avoid difficult emotions and challenging decisions.

I invite you to consider these questions:

What emotions are you trying to escape, avoid, or numb?
What decisions are you resisting?

If you know that you need help getting back on track with your “good” habits, email me to schedule a complimentary happy hour call.

Repairing The Relationship To Yourself Jun 19, 2024

When there is distance or disconnection in a relationship, we can say that a “rupture” has occurred. Ruptures are not problematic unless a repair or reconnection is not made in a timely fashion.

While it’s important to manage and repair relationship ruptures, the most important relationship in need of repair is the one you have with yourself.

I encourage you to identify and learn to manage the flavor of Inner Critic causing ruptures in the relationship to your best self.

I invite you to take this free Inner Critic quiz:

www.innercriticassessment.com

You will receive an exhaustive report which will enable you to identify and get curious about your Inner Critic and the role it currently plays in your life.

If you know that you need help repairing the relationship that you have with yourself, email me to schedule a complimentary happy hour call.

When You're At Your Best Jun 12, 2024

We are at our best when we feel deeply energized because we are investing our time and energy into deeply meaningful connections, work, and projects.

Your body will let you know that you aren’t investing your time and energy in an aligned manner when you feel drained and depleted.

Being attached to what others think, feel, say or expect from you will prevent you from being at your best.

Seeking approval or validation from others will also prevent you from being at your best.

How To De-Stress Yourself Jun 05, 2024

“Dealing with your STRESS is a separate process from dealing with the things that cause your stress. To deal with your STRESS, you have to COMPLETE THE CYCLE.”

Emily Nagoski, PhD/Amelia Nagoski, DMA

Burnout: The Secret To Unlocking The Stress Cycle

What we refer to as “Stress” can be broken down into three parts:

STRESSORS: the triggers that activate the stress response in your body. Triggers can be both external and internal. These stressors cause a stress response in our body.
STRESS RESPONSES: we experience a stress response anytime our Central Nervous System registers any stressor as too much, too fast, or too soon. We may go into Fight, Flight, Freeze, or Fawn.
STRESS CYCLES: our goal is to complete the stress cycle in our bodies by giving ourselves what we really need to either calm down or to re-energize.

When we get triggered by a stressor, our

CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM

tries to

CONTROL it

by going into

a STRESS RESPONSE:

FIGHT
FLIGHT
FREEZE
FAWN

The REAL problem

is NOT the

STRESSOR

or even the

STRESS RESPONSE

(unless you hurt yourself or others).

The REAL problem

is that we

stay stuck

IN stress

rather than

COMPLETING

the STRESS CYCLE.

When you notice having TOO MUCH energy in your body, you’re HYPER-aroused.

When you feel this way, rate the number of your stress/activation on a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 = non-existent and 10 being unbearable.

Ask yourself: What do I need to do in order to calm my body down and reduce the amount of energy?

Here are some coping strategies to try:

Exercise

Breathing

shaking/bouncing

Tapping

tense/release your muscles

Go outside

Write down thoughts on paper

Yell in a pillow

Punch a pillow

Lift weights

Dance

Play a sport

Ask for help

draw/paint/create

Cross-lateral stimulation

Meditation

Laughter

Read

Anything mindful that keeps you in the present moment

Color

Word search

Body work like massage or acupuncture

Yoga

Silence

Stillness

solitude

something else?

When you notice having TOO LITTLE energy in your body, you’re HYPO-aroused.

When you feel this way, rate your energy level on a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 = no energy and 10 too much energy.

Ask yourself: What do I need to do in order to boost or increase my energy?

Here are some coping strategies to try:

Focus on the five senses and how they impact your energy:

What smells energize me?

Experiment with essential oils… peppermint is great for this.

candles/incense/soaps/perfumes/lotions

What sounds/music energizes me?

Create a playlist.

Listen to a podcast.

Listen to natural sounds on a app.

What do I find energizing to look at?

Is it something outside?

Art?

A vision board or Pinterest board?

Scrapbooks/photos?

What flavors/foods/textures energize me?

Spicy?

Chewy? Crunchy?

Brush your teeth

What can I touch?

Certain fabrics?

Massage

hot/cold showers

Breathwork

Dancing

Spending time with a pet

Seeing friends

Going for a drive

Sitting outside
something else?

When we get triggered by a stressor, our

tries to

CONTROL it

by going into

a STRESS RESPONSE:

FIGHT
FLIGHT
FREEZE
FAWN

“The FIGHT response happens when you feel you're in danger, but you believe you can overpower the threat.“

You cry
You feel like punching someone or something
Your jaw is tight, or you grind your teeth
You glare at people or talk to them with anger in your voice
You feel like stomping or kicking
You feel intense anger
You feel like killing someone, perhaps even yourself
Your stomach feels tied in knots, or you have a burning feeling in your stomach

You may feel:

irritated
annoyed
frustrated
angry
irate
enraged

“When you believe you can overcome the danger by running away, your brain prepares your body for FLIGHT.”

Your legs are restless
You feel numbness in your extremities
Your eyes dilate and dart around
You constantly move your legs and feet
You're fidgety
You're tense
You feel trapped
You exercise excessively

You may feel:

unsure
worried
anxious
scared
frightened
terrified

“When you feel neither running nor fighting is the best choice, you can freeze instead:”

You feel cold
You have numbness in your body
Your skin is pale
You feel stiff or heavy
You have a sense of dread
Your heart is pounding
Your heart rate may decrease
You feel yourself tolerating the stress

You may feel:

shut down
numb
immobilized
disconnected
petrified

“When you've tried fight, flight, or freeze several times without success, you may find yourself using the fawn response… your only hope of survival might be compliance and helpfulness… you are more concerned about making them (people who’ve triggered you) happy than about doing what's right for you.”

Why You Need Imagine IF People May 15, 2024

Jamie Gruber, an entrepreneur and host of the Tribe of Millionaires podcast, shared (and I paraphrase) that in order to grow into a new, expanded version of yourself, you must know the difference between “Remember When” people/relationships vs. “Imagine When/If” relationships… the former will keep you stuck in a comfort zone doing what you’ve always done, while the latter will inspire you to expand into a new possibility for you.

It's F*cking Spiritual Podcast with guest Jamie Gruber

I invite you to consider these questions:

Which of your “Remember When” relationships are contributing to you feeling stuck?

What “Imagine If” relationships do you need to move forward:

Coach?
Mentor?
Counselor?
Something else?

If you’re ready to expand into a version of you who is willing to do the right “hard” things in order to create what you really want, please email or DM me.

Why You're So Resentful May 08, 2024

“Resentment is the feeling of frustration, judgment, anger, “better than,” and/or hidden envy related to perceived unfairness or injustice. It’s an emotion that we often experience when we fail to set boundaries or ask for what we need, or when expectations let us down because they were based on things we can’t control, like what other people think, what they feel, or how they’re going to react.”

“While resentment is definitely an emotion, I normally recognize it by a familiar thought pattern: What mean and critical thing am I rehearsing saying to this person?”

Atlas of the Heart/Brene Brown

When you notice feeling resentment, I invite you to get curious about these questions:

What mean/critical thing am I imagining saying?
What is it really important for me not to be perceived as?
What do I need that I haven’t been willing to ask for or allow myself to have or experience?
What prevents me from creating and communicating boundaries?
Which of my expectations for myself or for others no longer serve me?

If you need help processing any strong emotions, creating and communicating boundaries, or discerning and getting what you really want or need, please email or DM me.

Real Authenticity/Creating Safety May 01, 2024

Authenticity has two parts:

Part 1: Knowing who you are, what you value, what you want and don’t want AND having the courage to live that way.
Part 2: Paying attention to what your body needs in order to feel safe.

My brilliant colleague, Sally Hardie offered these powerful lessons (and I paraphrase):

“You can’t think your way over the top of your emotions.”
“Authenticity is paying attention to what your body is telling you and honoring what it says by giving it what it needs to feel safe.”

I invite you to consider these questions:

How willing are you to pay attention to and honor what your body is telling you?
How does your body tell you that you want something? That you don’t?
What do you notice in your body when you don’t feel safe?
What age of me is triggered?
What does my body need?

If you need help honoring what your body is telling you, please email or DM me.

Healthy Boundaries WILL Cost You Apr 17, 2024

Having healthy boundaries will both COST and BENEFIT you.

Having healthy boundaries will COST you:

the ability to people-please or approval-seek
the luxury expecting others to make assumptions about your needs or wants
the ability to run away from “big girl” or “big boy” conversations
the ability to play the Martyr or Victim in your relationships
unhealthy or immature relationships

These are BENEFITS of having healthy boundaries:

getting to take ownership of what you want and creating
knowing where you end and where someone else begins - you will no longer be emotionally enmeshed with others
getting to be truly authentic with others
to love and be loved unconditionally

If you need help creating and communicating boundaries, please email or DM me.

Boundaries Are Not A Bitchslap Apr 10, 2024

Tonight we’re diving into all things boundaries - specifically:

what boundaries are NOT
what boundaries ARE
the emotion that lets you know that you need to create or communicate a boundary.

Boundaries are NOT:

using words or actions to control, manipulate, threaten or punish others.
righteous rules
rigid standards

Boundaries ARE a combination of:

REQUESTS: based on your values, you need something.
- (I value emotionally mature conversations.)
  - “I’d appreciate it if we can discuss this calmly and respectfully.”
RESPONSES: what you will do/not do if the other person is unwilling (they won’t) or incapable of (they can’t) meet your request.
- “If you continue to yell and raise your voice, I’ll leave the conversation and remove myself from the room.”

RESENTMENT will alert you to the fact that you need to create and communicate a boundary. Resentment pops up when one of our core values is not being honored.

If you’re feeling resentful in a relationship, you may be believing something along the lines of:

“I’m being mistreated.”
“I’ve been taken advantage of.”
“They’ve wronged me.”
“He/she puts me down.”
“They should or shouldn’t… “
“I didn’t get what I wanted.”
“I got what I didn’t want.”

RESENTMENT may show up as:

anger
disappointment
bitterness
rejection
frustration
uneasiness
regret
remorse
righteousness
Inadequacy

Your RESENTMENT may fuel actions like:

unwillingness to forgive
blaming and complaining
spinning in negative thoughts
avoiding situations or people
passive-aggressive behavior
lashing out or reacting

Eventually, these resentment-driven actions may result in:

broken relationships
self-blame or shame
grudges
bottled anger
poor mental health
emotional reactivity
revenge

Key Takeways:

Boundaries aren’t aggressive attacks.
Boundaries are respectful, clear requests.
Boundaries allow you to have 100% control over your response.
Resentment may alert you to the need to create/communicate a boundary.

If you need help creating and communicating boundaries, please email or DM me. .

When You're Drowning As A Caregiver Apr 03, 2024

If you are a CAREGIVER, you are likely responding to the needs of someone who is not fully independent, such as a child or an individual with an illness, disability, or disorder. You are providing necessary support to someone who cannot care for themselves.

But, if you are not also taking care of and supporting yourself, you will begin to “flail” or “drown”.

If you’re beginning to “flail”, you may notice that:

your stress levels are becoming intolerable
you’re getting increasingly agitated, irritated, or frustrated
you feel revved up or jittery
your body feels heavy, tight, constricted, or uncomfortable
you’re spacing out
you’re escaping the present moment

When you’re no longer flailing yet beginning to “drown”, you may notice that:

your stress levels are intolerable
you feel reactive
you feel chronically exhausted, depleted, and drained
you’re anxious, angry, or even enraged
you’re saying things you regret later
you feel trapped and out of control

As a Caregiver, I encourage you to KEEP:

loving and wanting to help and support other people
loving and supporting yourself

As a Caregiver, I encourage you to STOP:

trying to do the work of a trained professional like a counselor, therapist, doctor, nurse, or coach
feeling guilty or selfish when you’re past your mental, emotional, or physical capacity
anticipating or assuming needs
helping others in order to get attention, approval, or validation
Ignoring the symptoms of stress in your body

As a Caregiver, I encourage you to START:

asking yourself several times daily - “What do I need?”
- Do I need:
  - silence?
  - solitude
  - stillness?
  - time outside?
  - water?
  - food?
  - more sleep?
  - rest?
  - space?
  - exercise?
  - to breathe?
  - to write my thoughts on paper?
  - to talk to someone?
  - permission to play?
  - ask someone to help me?
  - hire out some of the care?
  - to go someplace else for a few hours?

Key Takeways:

When caregivinig is at your own expense, it is self-sacrifice.
Self-care is not selfish.
You can only do what you can only do given how emotionally, mentally, or physically resourced you currently are.
If you need help, please email or DM me. I can help you take care of yourself AS you give care to others.

Why You Don't Have Peace Mar 27, 2024

If you’re struggling to make progress toward results and outcomes you really are committed to achieving, I invite you to consider this question:

“Am I at peace with BLANK?”

For example - “Am I at peace with:

… my body and/or weight?”
… my food and/or drink?”
… my relationships?”
… my career or job?”
… my parenting or children?”
… my finances?”
… something else?”

If you answer NO, it’s likely because “part of you” isn’t cooperating with your most authentic self.

In her best-selling book, Rezoom: The Powerful Reframe To End The Crash-And-Burn Cycle of Food Addiction, author and teacher Susan Pierce Thompson, highlights “Parts Work”:

“... it’s necessary to recognize and address the parts of ourselves that have led us to our old ways… in Parts Work, we learn which parts are directing our thinking and behavior so we can recognize them when they’re taking over… “

Thompson categories the parts as:

Indulger
Controller
Rebel
Caretaker
Isolator
Inner Critic

If this interests you, I invite you to learn about these parts and how they may be sabotaging your best efforts to make progress:

How To Offer The Right Help Mar 20, 2024

We all make the mistake of trying to “help” those we care about by:

swooping in rescuing them
solving their problems
giving them advice
teaching them
cheering them on
attempting to distract them

But what really helps, is discerning the role they need or want us to play in the moment.

Ask them:

“Do you want me to show up for you as a LISTENER, COACH, TEACHER, or CONSULTANT?

If they need a LISTENER, remain quiet and simply listen to their words. If appropriate, repeat their words back to them:

“It sounds like you’re feeling BLANK… is that true?”

If they need a COACH, your job is to ask questions. For example:

“What do you need to feel supported and safe?”
“How are you feeling?”
“What do you want to do? What don’t you want to do?”
“What do you need?”
“What don’t you want? What do you want?”
“If you could have this situation any way that you want it, how might you want it?”

If they need a TEACHER, ask them:

“Is there something you need to know or want to understand?”

If they need a CONSULTANT, they may need options or choices to respond to:

“Do you want to BLANK, BLANK, or something else?”
“Are you feeling BLANK, BLANK, or something else?”
“How might it feel to say something like BLANK? Does that work for you?”

If you’re willing to take the time to discern what they really need in order to feel supported by you, it will positively affect the quality of your relationship.

What And Who To Say NO To Mar 13, 2024

Welcome to Season 2 of Intelligent Intoxication: Crafting A Top-Shelf Life.

“We have activities we engage in and people we interact with. Some of those activities and relationships energize us and we feel lit up, alive and inspired while doing them or when we’re with them. Others drain and deplete our energy and we feel exhausted, tapped out, saturated.”

(Inspired/Paraphrased by Feroshia Knight.)

Our goal is to tell ourselves the truth regarding which of our professional/personal activities and relationships energize or deplete us.

Make a list of your personal and professional activities. Personal activities may include:

Chores
Errands
calls/emails/texts
Projects
hobbies
Things to do with others
Things you do alone

Professional activities may include:

Tasks
Projects
Meetings
Communications

Next to each activity, place a + sign if it energizes you, and a - sign if it depletes you. Identify what the energizing activities share in common. Discern what the depleting/draining activities have in common. Identify the immediate, temporary benefit you get from saying YES to activities that drain you. Identify what saying YES to activities that drain you is costing you long- term. Identify the long-term benefit you get from saying YES to activities that energize you. Identify the temporary cost to saying NO to things that don’t energize you. Decide what to do with the draining activities:

ditching it
delegating it
doing it while you do something fun
decreasing the amount of it you do or how you do it

Make a list of your personal and professional relationships. Personal relationships may include:

wives/husbands/partners
children
friends
extended family
acquaintances

Professional relationships may include:

Bosses
Colleagues
Team members
Support staff

Next to each name, place a + sign if the relationship energizes you, and a - sign if the relationship depletes you.
Identify what the energizing relationships share in common.
Discern what the depleting/draining relationships have in common.
Identify the immediate, temporary benefit you get from spending time in relationships that drain you.
Identify what saying YES to relationships that drain you is costing you long-term.
Identify the long-term benefit you get from saying YES to relationships that energize you.
Identify the temporary cost to saying NO to relationships that fail to energize you.

If a relationship drains or depletes you, you can consider:

Dissolving or ending it
Communicate what you want or need
Create and communicate boundaries
decreasing the amount of time you spend with this person

I invite you to consider these questions in regard to your personal and professional activities and relationships:

Does this activity energize me?
Does this activity deplete me?
Does this relationship energize me?
Does this relationship deplete me?
If so, why am I staying?
If I’m leaving, do I like my reasons?

CHASING AND ESCAPING AT THE EXPENSE OF FEELING FREE Mar 06, 2024

Welcome to Season 2 of Intelligent Intoxication: Crafting A Top-Shelf Life.

“My favorite way to think about soul power is the quality of being radically FREE, because one is neither trying to escape something, nor chase something.”

Simone Grace Seol

When we are in the habit of CHASING “something more”, we are likely:

stuck in comparisonitis
feeling envious or jealous
believing that “there” will be better than “here”

We CHASE because:

we don’t think we’re enough, whole, worthy, or valuable
we’re trying to prove our worthiness
we’re seeking approval, permission, or validation

When we CHASE, we get the immediate yet temporary BENEFIT of looking forward and/or living in anticipation. Yet, the habit of chasing is costing the opportunity to receive and enjoy abundance in the present moment.

When we are in the habit of ESCAPING, we are likely:

numbing or avoiding by engaging in:
- overeating
- overdrinking
- overworking
- overcommitting
- over-Netflix-ing
- over-scrolling
- overthinking
detached from our body and emotions
procrastinating
blaming others

We ESCAPE because:

it hurts too much not to
our emotions are too hard to feel
it feels unsafe to be in the present moment

When we ESCAPE, we get the immediate yet temporary BENEFIT of avoiding what we don’t want to feel. Yet, the habit of ESCAPING is costing us the opportunity to feel, process, and move through our emotions and past traumas.

I invite you to consider these questions:

How willing are you to seek the help you may need in order to stop chasing or escaping?
In order to feel radically free, what must I be willing to stop escaping?
In order to feel radically free, what must I be willing to stop chasing?

Why You're Not Thriving In The Second Half Of Life Feb 28, 2024

Welcome to Season 2 of Intelligent Intoxication: Crafting A Top-Shelf Life.

I’ve noticed a considerable difference between men and women who thrive in the second half of life and those who don’t. I offer my observations for your consideration. People who thrive:

don’t try to rewind to the past by focusing on how much better it was and wanting to go back in time. They invest their time and energy into the present while planning for their future.
exercise, eat well, and sleep.
create and maintain meaningful connections with others.
tell themselves the truth about what they want, what they don’t, what they’ll tolerate, what they won’t, what they’re willing or not willing to do or be.
are not attached to being needed - they’re committed to being wanted.
are making progress personally and professionally.
are or have been counseled and/or coached.
they don’t do what they don’t want to do.
don’t give or accept guilt trips.
are willing to seek help and support.

I invite you to consider these questions:

How willing are you to thrive?
How willing are you to stop blaming yourself or others for why you’re not thriving yet?
How willing are you to stop arguing with non-negotiables?

How You're Limiting What You Really Want Feb 21, 2024

Welcome to Season 2 of Intelligent Intoxication: Crafting A Top-Shelf Life.

You’re either lit up, alive, inspired, and fulfilled in your personal and professional life, or you’re not. Yet. If you’re not, it’s likely because you’re not:

challenging yourself and making continuous progress
utilizing your inherent gifts to make the contribution only you can make to others
prioritizing the pursuit of your passionate talents

In his best-selling book The Big Leap: Conquer Your Hidden Fear And Take Your Life To The Next Level, author Gay Hendricks explains that we spend our time doing tasks or activities in four main “zones”:

Incompetence: the things we’re not good at that others do better.
Competence: the things we’re good enough at that others do as well.
Excellence: the things you do extremely well yet aren’t fulfilling.
Genius: the things you are uniquely suited to do as they utilize your inherent gifts and passionate talents. These activities will allow you to feel lit up, alive, inspired, and deeply fulfilled.

The author teaches a concept he refers to as an “Upper Limit Problem”:

“Each of us has an inner thermostat setting that determines how much love, success, and creativity we allow ourselves to enjoy. When we exceed our inner thermostat setting, we will often do something to sabotage ourselves, causing us to drop back in to the old, familiar zone where we feel secure… our Upper Limit thermostat setting holds us back from enjoying all the love, financial abundance, and creativity that‘s rightfully ours… this is the Upper Limit Problem in a nutshell; that subconscious self-sabotage that happens when we get a taste of something great… “

“… the one problem that holds you back… I call it the Upper Limit Problem, and I haven’t met a person yet who didn’t suffer at least a little bit from it. Even if you’re extravagantly successful, I can promise you that your own version of the Upper Limit Problem is still holding you back from achieving your true potential.”

I invite you to take these immediately actionable steps:

Answer these questions (preferably on paper):

What do I really want for my professional and personal life?
What am I currently believing is limiting or preventing me from having it?

I encourage you to complete this prompt:

“I can’t have BLANK because I’m BLANK.”

How To Stop Dilluting The Real You Feb 14, 2024

Welcome to Season 2 of Intelligent Intoxication: Crafting A Top-Shelf Life.

Genius: the things you are uniquely suited to do as they utilize your inherent gifts and passionate talents. These activities will allow you to feel lit up, alive, inspired, and deeply fulfilled.

I invite you to take these immediately actionable steps:

Delegate or ditch tasks and activities that you aren’t skilled to do.
- (Your Inner Critic may have you believe that you should be able to do these things, because if you can’t, then it means that you’re insufficient or inadequate.)
Delegate or ditch tasks and activities that you’re skilled to do, yet so are others.
- (Your Inner Critic may have you believe that because you can do these things, you should do them.)
Limit and/or transition out of the tasks or activities that you do extremely well IF they aren’t challenging you to make progress, feel fulfilled, or make a unique contribution to others.
- (Your Inner Critic may have you believe that you will be letting down others if you stop doing these things. Others may not approve of your decision to stop these activities, but that doesn’t mean that you’re doing something wrong.)
Identify your inherent gifts and passions. Prioritize developing and utilizing these unique strengths and talents.

After 670 daily episodes, it’s officially time to wrap up the first season of the Intelligent Intoxication podcast. This is the perfect opportunity to reflect on what I’ve learned:

you never will be ready - you just need to be willing
confusion isn’t problem - it’s a reminder to remain present and discern the one next actionable step
you must create consistency in a manner that aligns with who you really are
done is better than perfect
sometime your best is C+ work
comparing my progress to someone else’s steals my sense of abundance and gratitude
create an audience in advance for what you want to create

I invite you to consider these questions:

How willing are you to begin?
How willing are you to use confusion to clarify your one next step?
How willing are you to lean into your own type of consistency?
How willing are you to finish, rather than to perfect?

If you’re in the habit of saying YES even when you mean NO or NOT YET, changing this habit requires smalls shifts:

identify how YES or NO shows up in your body
tell yourself the truth about your YES or NOs
practice saying NO to things you aren’t:
- willing to do
- capable of doing
anticipate this feeling really uncomfortable
if you resist saying NO, get curious about what your brain is telling you might be the worst thing another person may:
- think
- feel
- say about you
once you’re in the habit of identifying and communicating your NOs to others, pay attention to how you respond when others don’t respect your NOs.
- do you give in?
- do you react?
- do you clarify your NO
  - “If you’d like me to deliver this for you, please have it on my porch by tomorrow morning by 8. If it’s not there when I leave at 8, I’ll assume you decided to handle the delivery yourself.”
  - If they deliver the item after you’ve already left, remind them of your initial boundary:
    - “If you’ll remember, I mentioned that I was leaving to deliver the items I had by 8. Please grab your item and make other plans as I’ve already gone.”

I invite you to consider these questions:

What might prevent you from protecting your NO?
How willing are you to accept that you are intentionally choosing to feel resentment or bitterness rather than discomfort if you don’t protect your NO?

“Overwhelmed means an extreme level of stress, an emotional and/or cognitive intensity to the point of feeling unable to function… overwhelmed is about our narrative of emotional and mental depletion - there’s too much going on to manage effectively.”

Why You Must Accept and Forgive- Part 17 Dec 26, 2023

Today is PART 17 of the Intentional Intoxication mini-course, created to help you apply what you’ve learned from the book in your actual life.

Acceptance is akin to forgiveness. When we forgive, we intentionally stop arguing with the way things are or what has happened in the past. Instead, we process how we feel about what happened, and intentionally decide how to have our own backs moving forward.

I invite you to consider these questions:

When do you notice arguing with what has happened or is happening in your life?
When do you ignore how you really feel about your circumstances or relationships?
What might change if you accept both what is currently true and what you want?

While it’s not your fault that you may struggle with depression or anxiety, it is your responsibility to manage your mental, physical, and emotional health.

Courtesy of UCLA Health:

What's the difference between a bad case of the blues and the painful mental disorder known as depression? According to the experts, impaired functioning is usually a clear-cut indication of a major depression.

Here's a quick checklist of depression symptoms. If the list sounds familiar, you may want to see a counselor or a psychiatrist.

Depressive mood. Do you suffer from feelings of worthlessness, helplessness, or pessimism for days at a time?
Sleep disturbance. Do you have trouble falling asleep at night or trouble staying asleep—waking up in the middle of the night or too early in the morning? Are you sleeping too much?
Chronically fatigued. Do you frequently feel tired or lack energy?
Isolation. Have you stopped meeting with family or friends? Increasing isolation and diminished interest or pleasure in activities are major signs of depression.
Appetite disturbance. Are you eating far less than usual—or far more? Severe and continuing appetite disturbance is often an indication of depression.
Inability to concentrate. If you can't seem to focus on even routine tasks, it's probably time to get some help.
Dependence on mood-altering substances. If you depend on alcohol or other drugs to make it through the day, you may be suffering from depression. Often, the substance abuse causes symptoms that mimic the appearance of clinical depression, but are, in fact, due wholly to the drug use.
Feeling a sense of inappropriate guilt
Recurrent thoughts of death or suicide or a suicide attemptChecklist for depression

Courtesy of the Mayo Clinic, common anxiety signs and symptoms include:

Feeling nervous, restless or tense

Having a sense of impending danger, panic or doom

Having an increased heart rate

Breathing rapidly (hyperventilation)

Sweating

Trembling

Feeling weak or tired

Trouble concentrating or thinking about anything other than the present worry

Having trouble sleeping

Experiencing gastrointestinal (GI) problems

Having difficulty controlling worry

Having the urge to avoid things that trigger anxiety

I invite you to consider these questions:

How willing are you to:
- seek out help for depression or anxiety?
- take responsibility for managing the diagnosis and treatment of your mental health?

Let’s clarify three concepts:

Confusion is not an excuse or permission slip to stay stuck - it’s a reminder to focus on the one next step.

When you stop saying YES to the wrong things, you will “buy back time” for the right ones.

“Life is meant to be about filling your time; your purpose is to use the time you do have to experience deep fulfillment…”

I invite you to consider these questions:

When have you used confusion as an excuse to stay stuck or stop growing?
When do you notice saying YES when you want to say NO?
What can you say NO to now that will allow you to “buy back time”?
When do you notice striving to fill your time rather than using your time to create deep fulfillment?

I’m beginning a mini-course on the podcast to help you apply what you’ve learned from the book in your actual life.

In Part 1, I break down the book’s title.

When we’re intentional, we purposely decide to do or be something. We don’t wait for what we desire to be handed to us, we commit to creating it.

When we’re intoxicated, we’re lit up, alive, inspired, and deeply fulfilled in our daily lives.

When we deliberately distill, we intentionally release or let go of anything incongruent to our truest, most authentic self.

When we desire a different life, we accept that chasing something more will never suffice, and acknowledge that we already have everything we need to differentiate our life experience.

I invite you to consider these questions:

How willing are you to be fiercely and purposely lit up, alive, inspired, and fulfilled?
What might prevent you from letting go of or releasing anything incongruent to your truest self?
How willing are you to accept that getting, being, or doing more is not the answer?

We all struggle at times to say NO. Sometimes, it feels unsafe to say NO or we worry that we will let down or disappoint others. All of our Yeses are investments of our limited time, energy or resources. If you say YES to the wrong things, you won’t have the time, energy, or resources to invest in the right ones.

A few questions for your consideration:

When do you notice saying YES when you mean NO?
If you do say NO, what is the worst thing another person may think, feel or say about you?

It’s Selfish NOT To Squirm Dec 02, 2023

When You Have Big Or Small Emotional Responses Nov 19, 2023

Some of us are highly emotional, and experience our emotions in big waves. Others of us are relatively emotionally c, and don’t experience huge waves of emotions. Both types are capable of feeling and processing their emotions, rather than reacting to them.

A few questions for those of you who resonate with being emotional:

How willing are you to feel your big emotions all the way through before communicating them to others?
How willing are you to wait until your waves hit neutral before acting on your emotions?

A few questions for those of you who resonate with being emotionally calmer:

When do you notice taking on the big emotions of others?
How willing are you to feel and process your emotions all the way through rather than stuffing them down or avoiding them?

Why You’re Criticized Nov 08, 2023

“You’ll never be criticized by someone who is doing more than you. You’ll always be criticized by someone doing less. Remember that.”

We get criticized and criticize others from a place of inferiority (if we’re in comparison-itis) or superiority (if we’re in competition to others).

I invite you to consider these questions:

When do you notice criticizing others because you feel inferior to them?
When do you notice competing with others because you feel superior to them?

Don’t Take Their Criticism If You Wouldn’t Take Their Advice Nov 07, 2023

“Some of the best advice I’ve been given: ‘Don’t take criticism from people you would never go to for advice.”

Morgan Freeman

When we believe our Inner Critic’s fearful chatter, we are accepting criticism from the part of us that’s not reliable for wise advice.

I invite you to consider these questions:

When do you believe your Inner Critic’s criticism?
How willing are you to trust your body for advice, rather than your Inner Critic?

Tattle-Tales And Intrusive Thoughts Nov 05, 2023

Tattle-tales will continue to tattle if they get the attention they seek from doing so, or if their complaints are taken seriously. Our intrusive thoughts will keep coming if we argue with them, react to them by trying to falsely comfort ourselves, or act on the information given in our thoughts.

I invite you to consider these questions:

When do you notice arguing with or trying to avoid your thoughts?
When do you notice trying to comfort yourself when you have anxious thoughts?
How willing are you to respond to anxious, intrusive thoughts with something like this?
- “There’s my brain offering intrusive thoughts.”
- “These thoughts just aren’t that important.”

Are You Guilty Or Being Guilted? Nov 02, 2023

There’s a difference between feeling guilty and being guilted. If you’re feeling guilt, it’s likely because, according to you, your words and actions are incongruent to your values. When you’re being guilted, someone else is trying to make you feel guilty because they either don’t approve of your values, or they are determining whether or not you’re in integrity.

I invite you to consider these questions:

When do you outsource your integrity to others by allowing them to guilt you?
When you feel guilty, how willing are you to course-correct when guilt highlights a breach in your integrity?

Why Hobbies Won’t Fulfill You Oct 18, 2023

When children grow up and leave home, it’s common for parents to try to stay “busy” and fill their days with pursuits like hobbies. But, in order to experience true fulfillment, you must do two things:

identify, develop, and utilize your inherent gifts to make a meaningful contribution to others
continue to challenge yourself in order to make continuous personal and professional progress

If you’re not thriving in your life, it’s never because you aren’t “busy” enough or because your days aren’t full enough.

What do others come to you for help with?
How willing are you to develop these gifts and utilize them to contribute?
How committed are you to making continuous progress personally and professionally?

Why You Can’t Just Be A Spectator To Your Adult Childrens’ Lives Oct 17, 2023

When children grow up and leave home, it’s common for parents to feel as if they've gone from being a supervisor in their lives to being a spectator of their lives. If you want to be fulfilled in your life after your children leave home, you must be willing to create your own parallel path by utilizing your inherent gifts and passionate talents to make continuous progress while making a meaningful contribution to others.

I invite you to consider these questions:

How willing are you to create your own life after your children?
What might prevent you from doing so?

How To Stop Resisting and Start Accepting Oct 10, 2023

When we resist, we argue with what is really true, and we simultaneously outsource our agency and empowerment.

“Feeling discouraged and resigned is about effort rather than outcome. With discouragement, we’re losing the motivation and confidence to continue with our efforts. With resignation, we’ve lost the motivation to keep trying.”

Brene Brown/Atlas of the Heart

I invite you to consider these questions:

When do you notice feeling discouraged?
How do you take care of yourself when you are?
When do you notice feeling resigned?
How have you taken care of yourself?

How To NOT Get Stuck In Regret Sep 26, 2023

When our life circumstances don’t unfold the way we want them to, it’s common for us to feel disappointed - especially when we believe that others are to blame for our disappointment.

Yet when we feel regret, it’s because we feel as if we made a past decision that we’re not proud of or that we’ve acted or failed to act in a manner that yielded the outcomes we really wanted.

I invite you to consider these questions:

When do you notice regretting what you decided, did, or did not to do in the past?
How willing are you to forgive yourself for making past decisions that didn’t yield the results you really wanted?
How willing are you to forgive yourself?

You Don’t Have To Feel Better On Your Own Sep 25, 2023

You Can’t Control Disappointment Sep 24, 2023

When our life circumstances don’t unfold the way we want them to, it’s common for us to feel disappointed.

In Atlas of the Heart, author Brene Brown explains disappointment:

“Disappointed: It didn’t work out how I wanted, and I believe the outcome was outside of my control.”

We also feel disappointed when others aren’t willing or able to meet our expectations. When this happens, make sure that you’ve kindly and clearly communicated your expectations to them. Then, decide how you can meet the need underneath the expectation.

I invite you to consider these questions:

When was the last time you felt disappointed?
What or who didn’t you have control of?
How willing were you to communicate your needs and expectations?
What prevents you from doing so?

What You Feel When Things Aren’t What You Expected Sep 23, 2023

When our life circumstances don’t unfold the way we want them to, it’s common for us to feel disappointed, regretful, discouraged, resigned, or frustrated.

In Atlas of the Heart, author Brene Brown explains each emotion:

“Disappointed: It didn’t work out how I wanted, and I believe the outcome was outside of my control.”
“Regretful: It didn’t work out how I wanted, and the outcome was caused by my decisions, actions, or failure to act.”
“Discouraged: I’m losing my confidence and enthusiasm about any future effort - I’m losing the motivation and confidence to persist.”
“Resigned: I’ve lost my confidence and enthusiasm about any future effort - I’ve lost the motivation and confidence to persist.”
“Frustrated:Something that feels out of my control is preventing me from achieving my desired outcome.”

I invite you to consider these questions:

How willing are you to “keep showing up” until you get there?
What might prevent you from showing up consistently?

You’re Not Quitting - You’re Purposely Pausing Sep 21, 2023

When we “quit”, we unintentionally stop doing something in spite of NOT liking our reasons. If you stop or decide not to finish something AND you like your reasons, you aren’t quitting - you course-correcting, pivoting, or pausing.

I invite you to consider these questions:

When do you notice “quitting” when you get frustrated even when you don’t like your reasons?

Have To/Don’t Have To Sep 18, 2023

When you notice feeling stressed or overwhelmed about everything on your “to-do list”, try this:

Make a list of everything you believe must be done.

Then, place each task under one of four categories:

HAVE TO DO/DON’T WANT TO DO: If you can’t delegate these tasks, tackle these items when you’re most focused and rested.

HAVE TO DO/WANT TO DO: You can do these things any time because you’re motivated to do so.

DON’T HAVE TO DO/WANT TO DO: These are your passions, hobbies, and fun, enjoyable, entertaining, or engaging.

DON’T HAVE TO DO/DON’T WANT TO DO: Ditch anything on this list.

I invite you to consider these questions:

What might prevent you from intentionally deciding to categorize your tasks?
What if you never have to “want to” do certain things in order to get them done?
What foods might fall into these four categories?
Which relationships might fall into these four categories?

Offer Compassion - Not Pity Sep 12, 2023

You Feel Discomfort - Not Guilt Sep 11, 2023

There are many things I wish I had known when I was 25 that I do know as a 55-year-old woman.

It’s appropriate to feel guilty when our actions and words don’t match our values. When our outsides don’t match our insides, we are temporarily out of integrity. But when we’re IN integrity but not willing or able to meet the expectations of others, we will feel uncomfortable knowing that someone is disappointed simply because we’re human.

There are many things I wish I had known when I was 25 that I do know as a 55-year-old woman.

I wish I would have known that it’s more important to subtract things, rather than add things, when we’re trying to improve our lives.

The Sooner You Embrace Your Wholeness... Sep 09, 2023

When we feel “broken”, it is often because we’ve told ourselves that in some way we are “damaged, fractured, or not whole”. But, only things can be broken - people cannot. You were born and still are 100% whole and worthy. So, your goal is to remove any thought or belief that prevents you from remembering your inherent wholeness.

I invite you to consider these questions:

What might prevent you from believing that you’re 100% whole?
What decisions have you made from a place of feeling broken?

I encourage you to consider and practice these thoughts:

“I’m willing to consider that I’m 100% whole.”
“I’m willing to look for evidence that I’m 100% whole.”
“I want to want to believe that I’m 100% whole.”

How You Define Broken Sep 05, 2023

When we feel “broken”, it is often because we’ve told ourselves that in some way we are “damaged, fractured, or not whole”. But, only things can be broken - people cannot. You were born and still are 100% whole and worthy. So, your goal is to remove any thought or belief that prevents you from remembering your inherent wholeness.

I invite you to consider these questions:

How do you define BROKEN?
Where did this belief come from?
How willing are you to let go of that belief?

I encourage you to complete this prompt:

“I’m broken because… “

How To NOT Lose Your Sh*t And Ruin Your Relationships Sep 03, 2023

There will be times when you get triggered due to the words or actions of others. When anything feels too much, too fast, or too soon, your body will go into a stress response. We can’t avoid all triggers, nor can we avoid stress responses. However, it IS our responsibility to calm our bodies and close the stress cycles.

BEFORE you try to communicate in any manner with the other person, please prioritize calming the physical sensation of urgency in your body by:

breathing
moving
screaming into a pillow
reaching out to a trusted confidant
journaling

Once the urgency of the stress has dissipated, get curious about what you made the actions or words of the other person MEAN about you or them.

I invite you to consider these questions:

When do you notice trying to communicate WHILE you’re in a stress response?
What can you do instead to calm your body?

You Can’t Make Others Do Anything Sep 02, 2023

When we are communicating a boundary to another person, we aren’t trying to get the other person to do what you want them to do - your intention is to meet your own needs.

I invite you to consider these questions:

When do you notice trying to “make” someone do what you want them to do?

How To Create An Inspiring Habit Aug 03, 2023

When you feel “off”, it’s because you need to create some space in your life and schedule.

The first step to creating more space in your life is to STOP THE FLOW of anything new or extra coming in.

The second step is to TAKE OUT THE OLD by ditching anything that’s “leftover”, that you’ve had “enough of”, or that has “expired” because it no longer serves you.

The third step is to PREPARE by RESTING. When we REST, we are preparing to be re-inspired.

The fourth step is to RE-INSPIRE your life by considering what’s possible for you.

The fifth step is to CREATE INSPIRATIONAL HABITS by:

deciding what matters most to you (Core Values “athleticism”)
create an identity that honors the value (“I’m an athlete.”)
focus on being that identity consistently (“I show up as an athlete every day for 5 minutes, and I never miss two days in a row.”)

I invite you to consider these questions:

Which of your Core Values needs an identity?
How willing are you to create an inspiring habit that honors this identity?
How can you make this habit sustainable?

Atomic Habits by James Clear.

Their Commitment Is Your Obligation Jul 26, 2023

An OBLIGATION is something you said YES to that was really a NO; you said YES in order to people-please, seek approval, virtue-signal or avoid confrontation. We tend to need an audience for obligations.

A COMMITMENT is a whole-hearted YES that really matters to you and lights you up.

One person’s commitment is another person’s obligations.

I invite you to consider these questions:

What feels obligatory in your life?
Why did you say YES to it?
How willing are you to change your YES to a NO?

Balance Never Works - You Must Prioritize Jul 25, 2023

When you try to “balance” your life, you are saying that everything matters the same. When we “prioritize” we are intentionally committing to what matters the most to us.

When we’re trying to balance, we get stuck in believing that there’s never enough time. When we prioritize, we believe that we have plenty of time for matters most.

I invite you to consider these questions:

When do you attempt to balance your life and time?
When do you notice intentionally prioritizing your life and time?
How often are you people-pleasing when you’re attempting to balance it all?

The 4 Questions You Must Answer To Intoxicate Your Life Jul 24, 2023

You don’t need to be disciplined or determined in order to get your shit done, but you must be DEVOTED.

Devotion is a mix of love, loyalty and enthusiasm. You must LOVE the experience AS you live it, be loyal and consistent to doing it in a way that aligns to your truest self, and deeply excited and lit up by the experience.

Devotion is also having the sustainable energy for the things that light you up because they matter to you the most.

You have a four-ingredient Signature Cocktail for intoxicating your life. When we’re lit up and intoxicated, we’re simultaneously DEVOTED to experiences and habits that align with our best selves.

The first ingredient in any Signature Cocktail is a “spirit” or type of liquor. Our “spirit” is being lit up, inspired, or animated.

Feeling lit up and inspired creates the devotion you need to show up for your habits, routines, and rituals.

When an opportunity or experience lights you up or animates you, you will be magnetically pulled to the experience because it is a full-body HELL YES. Once you’re lit up, you’re able to create habits, routines, and rituals that will allow you to sustain the experience.

The second and third ingredients in a Signature Cocktail are a powerful fusion of:

a hint of sweet like a simple syrup, tonic, or juice
a touch a sour like a squeeze of lemon or lime

The fusion of these two flavors enhance the cocktail.

Your sweet/sour is an emotional theme:

satisfaction/frustration
success/bitterness/resentment
peace/anger
delight/surprise/disappointment

Your “sweet” reminds you that you’re in alignment with your true self. Your “sour” invites you to get curious about the role your Inner Critic is playing in your life.

The fourth ingredient in a Signature Cocktail is the garnish. The garnish is never an after-thought - it is an integral part of the experience of enjoying the craft cocktail.

We, too, must “garnish” our lives with ENJOYMENT. When we experience enjoyment, we are seeped IN a joy mindset.

I invite you to consider these questions:

What lights me up and inspires me?
When do I feel deeply satisfied, successful, peaceful, delighted, or surprised?
When do I feel frustrated, bitter, resentful, angry, or disappointed?
What do I genuinely and whole-heartedly enjoy?
