Why Mindfulness Matters, with Samara Zelniker Feb 07, 2022

Show notes

Are you 'vanilla coasting' in your life? This week's guest, Samara Zelniker, defines vanilla coasting as being mediocre or too comfortable in your life, which can lead people to often stay stuck in their "shoulds." Creating change is generally not easy; it can make us uncomfortable and requires the skills of listening to the whispers of our intuition and leaping into the unknown. Samara, a yoga and mindfulness teacher, guides others to look at their lives through the lens of possibility, rather than feeling stuck and misaligned. In this fun and insightful conversation, Samara and I talk about how to find the courage, trust your intuition, and honor the space between your thoughts, emotions and challenging situations, since that's where the opening for forging a new, more mindful path resides. If you are someone who is seeking to shift your mindset towards alignment, purpose and possibility, then this episode is for you.

Featured in Forbes, Business Insider, Parsley Health, and Focus TV, Samara Zelniker is a mindfulness coach dedicated to creating resources for leaders to reach their infinite potential.

With over a decade of experience teaching yoga, meditation and mindfulness, Samara's coaching philosophy melds western wisdom with ancient eastern techniques and combines neuroscience and emotional intelligence tools into practical applications.

Dating Post-Divorce with Dr. John Schinnerer Jan 24, 2022

Show notes

So not only is Dr. John an amazing executive coach who teaches men the skills of emotional awareness, communication, and the skills to become happier, he's also my fiance. We were lucky enough to find one another 6 years ago, when we were dating, post-divorce, and share a passion for teaching others the skills to live their best life. In this podcast episode, that is co-branded with John's podcast, The Evolved Caveman, we not only talk our experience dating post-divorce prior to meeting each other, but we give some very practical tips, tools and advice that we give to our clients about how to navigate dating apps, first dates, how to not get too attached too quickly, how soon to date after separating, how to figure out what it is that you are really wanting in a new partner, and so much more. We share parts of our story of when we met along with some of our memorial dating experiences. The key when dating is to stay authentic, curious and have an open, abundant mindset, along with knowing your list of top values of what you are looking for, as well as deal-breakers. This is the first of an ongoing series in which John and I will do joint podcasts.

Are You a Shameless Mom? With Sara Dean Jan 17, 2022

Show notes

So many moms struggle with their identity after having kids, and not many know what to do with that shift. It comes with a shift in values, purpose, and time, and many moms get stuck in a spiral of not knowing who they are and how to align with the various roles they have in their life. In this episode, I talk with Sara Dean, who is host of the well known podcast Shameless Mom Academy, about her journey into finding her balance, personally and professionally. What started as a career in the fitness industry, Sara pivoted to podcasting and coaching, in which she went from guiding women how to get smaller, to supporting them in living fully, unapologetically taking up space and learning to create the life they want to be living. We cover everything from identity struggle, parenting during Covid, overcoming the shame narrative, and the harsh reality of time flying. If you're mom, this episode is for you.

About Sara: Sara Dean is mindset, business and leadership coach. She is also the creator and host of the Shameless Mom Academy Podcast, a top rated podcast with over 3.5 million downloads. Sara's biggest passion is helping women own their space. After enduring her own identity crisis following the birth of her son, Sara took her background in psychology/health/ wellness and rebuilt her identity, one step at a time. Sara motivates and inspires women to stop shrinking and start shining. She is on a mission to inspire women and moms, in particular, to live bigger, bolder, braver #everydamnday. Sara serves women through her podcast, her thriving Momentum Mamas membership community, her Tenacious Mamas business & leadership mastermind and her annual event, Shameless Mom Con (coming this spring!) When she's not supporting Shameless Moms, you'll find Sara with her husband and 9 year old son - building Legos and pretending to understand Minecraft.

My holidays were spent in quarantine with my two daughters, while all 3 of us recovered from having Covid. It was a fascinating experience to both be sick, and yet be observing the process I was going through from an emotional, physical and spiritual perspective. I'm always curious about the lesson I'm supposed to learn as I go through different experiences in my life, and having Covid taught me a lot. Not only was I practicing my mindfulness practice in real time, putting all my tools to use, I was also tapping into the bigger picture in acknowledging something that I've been told for years, have set intentions for for years, but clearly have not been able to integrate into my life fully and put into practice. Listen to this episode to hear what the message the Universe had for me, and what I learned from having Covid.

Today is my 44th birthday and in this episode I share some personal reflections on what I continue to work on and the messages the Universe keeps sending me highlighting where I still get stuck. Two main areas I focus on are expectations, and my value of being seen, heard and validated. I often say that expectations are the quickest path to suffering and yet it can be so hard to release expectations you have on others, yourwelf, or even how life unfolds. Additionally, one of the things I'm working on this year is seeing, hearing and validating others from a lens of compassion and acceptance, knowing that when I can do this for others, a relational reciprocity is likely (or hopefully able) to occur. Lastly, I share 12 mindfulness practices that I continue to practice every damn day that help keep me grounded, centered and feeling good from the inside out, because as life continues to unfold in a way that is out of our control, we need all the tools we can to feel at our best.

Every year I guide a "let your shit go" workshop, and this episode is a virtual workshop, in which I guide you through the steps to let go of what is no longer serving you, and how to set intentions (not resolutions) for the upcoming new year. I start with a short guided mindful meditation moment, then have you consider all the things you're carrying (all the slights, pains, resentments, hurts, expectations, and more!) that are weighing you down and preventing you from moving forward. Once you have identified the things that are no longer serving you, I guide you through the steps on how to let it go so that you can create the space of what you want to bring in for 2022. I am never a fan of setting goals, which can be arbitrary and often lofty, but rather I prefer to set intentions, which are moment-to-moment actions and awareness that are in alignment with your values and with the quality of presence you want to be living your life. Cheers to a peaceful, healthy and aligned new year!

Overcoming Emotional Exhaustion and Expectation During the Holidays Dec 13, 2021

The holiday season isn't necessarily joyful, festive, pleasant or sometimes even enjoyable for many people. Whether it is being stuck in obligations or expectations, experiencing a retriggering of old traumas, feeling uncomfortable family dynamics, or simply the overwhelm of being in excess (spending too much money or indulging in too much food and/or drink) the holidays bring with it a myriad of emotions. In this episode, I guide you through tools of emotional self-regulation, how to manage expectations, set boundaries and practice self-compassion. I also give you permission to disappoint someone, because you are never going to be able to please everyone, and in attempting to do so, you abandon your own self, resulting in unhealthy patterns of codependency. The key to making the holidays more peaceful and enjoyable is to practice awareness of your needs, your emotions and your values, so you can show up authentically and intentionally, even if it's a departure from previous ways of celebrating the holidays. And remember: self-care is never selfish, and during the busyness of the season, it's more important than ever.

We all have core wounds from our childhood, and often they can be "normal" instances that still leave a lasting imprint on our lives. In this conversation with Peggy Oliveria, we talk about these core wounds and how to go through the process of healing ourselves. Trauma can be a result of experiences ranging from abuse to living in a chaotic environment, and can shift how we show up in relationships. In absence of honoring these wounds, we tend to continue patterns that no longer serve us.

Peggy's Bio: Peggy's soulful way of getting us to connect to our truth... pain, fears, dreams, & desires inspires us, with arms and hearts wide open, to look under the surface and honor the whispers of our soul.

Known as the Survivor Whisperer®, she weaves her story of impact & healing from childhood sexual abuse with her 20+ years of experience as a trauma therapist and advocate to inspire us to release what holds us back and courageously step into the life we deserve.

Peggy is the Founder of Courageous Journeys, a practice of guiding people on their Journey to Freedom through 1:1 sessions, online programs, and her transformational Journey to Freedom Retreat.
