Thoughts on the Recession and Layoffs Dec 20, 2022

Show notes

Right now can be a difficult time for many.

With the announcement of tens of thousands of layoffs and the signs of a pending recession, it's easy to fall into tons of negative thinking.

While we can't change the circumstances that we encounter in life…

We can change how we respond to them.

In fact, that's the only thing we control.

On today's podcast, I dive into how you can reduce all the anxiety, stress, and frustration that comes along with uncertain times or difficult things in the world.

Replay: How Kristina Barile Went From MIT Rocket Scientist to Living Off The Land In Panama Dec 06, 2022

Show notes

This week's episode is a replay of Episode 117: How Kristina Barile Went From MIT Rocket Scientist to Living Off The Land In Panama.

On this week's episode, I interview the incredible Kristina Barile on her journey from a Harvard and MIT-grad rocket scientist to living in a mud home in Panama, teaching holistic, nutritional Ayurveda and freelance writing. In last week's episode, we talked all about how unnatural our lives have become and the effects it is having on our lives. Kristina and her husband recognized this deep restlessness in corporate America and decided to embark on a journey to find a better way. Her journey opened her up to a wide array of experiences: traveling 30 hours up to Mount Kailash in the Himalayan Mountains, to living in India for 5 months to focus on meditation and self-awareness, to finally building a sustainable mud home in Panama. Kristina's story is still evolving but her unwavering desire to ground herself and live an authentic life will keep her moving forward.

The Power of Knowing What You Want Nov 22, 2022

Show notes

As long as you tell yourself the lie that you don't know what you want, you'll stay stuck exactly where you are. You do know what you want. You're just scared to admit it to yourself. Because once you admit, then you actually have to take action. But there is power in admitting it to yourself. It allows you to get out of all the confusion and overwhelm that keeps you spinning for years and actually get started on the path to your dreams.

In this episode, I dive into how you can start accessing what you really want.

Believe It Will Happen Nov 15, 2022

Show notes

We often think that our thoughts are not only "true" but "realistic." So we tell ourselves things like "this probably won't work," "I have no idea how to do this," and "this is way too hard," in order to not be delusional.

In today's episode, I'm going to show you how that not only creates the result of you not figuring it out but also creates a life that is small and unenjoyable.

I'm a big believer in the thinking it'll always work out for you even if you have no proof that it will. Not because I want you to be delusional. There is a total logical reason to think this. And it'll change your whole life.

Check out the episode to find out how.

How to Do Less Nov 08, 2022

Show notes

We're all doing too much. Busy has become a badge of honor. And as we continue to run on the hamster wheel to get ALL THE THINGS done, we miss out on this one precious life we have. No more. The goal is not to get more done. The goal is to have less to do. Without guilt.

That's what I teach you on the podcast this week.

Parenting & Careers Nov 01, 2022

Show notes

Balancing all of the thoughts around your career is already hard enough, throw kids into that mix and it can feel like you're constantly drowning.

The guilt of feeling like you're always dropping some balls.The resentment of never having any time for yourself.The exhaustion of always taking care of someone or something else.

This week on the podcast, I'm going to show you how thought work helped transform my relationship as a mother which allowed me to create the career of my dreams.

In this episode, I talk about how learning to manage my mind helped me:

Understand my real role as a mother
Understand myself better
Understand my children more fully

All three of these things allowed me to take off the martyr-badge most moms are required to wear and create a life that actually works for me and my family.

Imposter Syndrome Oct 25, 2022

Show notes

This week, we tackle a big topic in high-achieving communities like this one: Imposter Syndrome. So many of my clients, who have years of experience, degrees, great reviews, insane accomplishments, still believe the lie that they have no idea what they're doing. Why is that? This episode tackles why we hold on to the thoughts causing Imposter Syndrome so tightly and how to start loosening that grip.
