Connected...or Codependent? Apr 28, 2021

Show notes

Ah, codependency - is it clearly identified, or a buzzword we can't quite grasp? Nathan and I are pretty much together 24/7 and definitely weigh in with each other on making decisions. Yet how do you tow the line from just being connected to an unhealthy codependency?

We break it down in this week's podcast, not to trivialize or negate the true complexity of this, but to simply open the door to exploring it more for yourself, and whether this is an area you can work on more in your life.

And, we share a bit about the power of the struggle, body checks, and questions to ask yourself to explore your own worth.

Om and Namaste At Home Apr 21, 2021

Show notes

This week we're getting to the core of what "namaste" really means to us, as well as how we put the "om" in hOMe. This is a frequently visited page on our website, as some, especially in the West, are still new to these concepts.

What do these words mean to you? We'll share about the symbol breakdown of the word "om", my definition of "namaste", as well as sharing about a fascinating experiment, and how the movie Avatar relates.

Are you feeling that wonderful sense of "om" in your life?

Check out the podcast and blog post this week, and learn how you can be an unschooling parent.

Things Unsaid Mar 31, 2021

Show notes

I've talked often about how we can use our words to communicate, but it takes way more to truly connect. It's knowing our personality styles and how to speak to each other in a way where everyone is heard...and it's in the nonverbal cues that speak so loudly.

We go over five nonverbal cues this week that are like shifting from song lyrics to a full musical performance. It's more than simply words - what is left unsaid that is showing up in your life?

A busy...or FULL life? Mar 24, 2021

Show notes

Do you have a full life...or a busy one? Sometimes we wear our "busy" as a badge of honor; yet is that really the life you want to live? Is that the excuse you want to give?

Sometimes there IS a season for being busy and really hustling hard. But the term "busy" vs. having a full life...there is a different mindset around these.

Drama Doesn't Make An Appointment Mar 17, 2021

Show notes

Do you adjust to the world or do you demand that the world adjust to you? Crazy enough, everyone isn't just sitting around waiting to cater to your needs. And, unfortunately, drama doesn't always make an appointment to show up in our lives. So how do you deal with it? When do you flow and adapt, and when do you stand your ground?

3 Reasons You're Stuck Mar 10, 2021

Show notes

What do you do when you have a dream that is out of reach, or you feel like your life isn't quite where you want it to be? What do you do when you see all this opportunity out there, but it seems way too insurmountable to tackle because of the life you're already living in?

How do you handle pursuing your dreams when you have a mountain of responsibility at your door?

How do you move forward? Do you live in the pain, or do you create a plan?

While we often look for what we need to add in to get back on track, sometimes, it much, much important to let things go. We cover the 3 biggies on what keeps you stuck in this week's episode.

My Soul Is Crying For A Change Mar 03, 2021

Show notes

Change is inevitable in our lives…yet it can be scary and overwhelming. How are you navigating change? In your home, your work…your life? Sometimes we're navigating change that is unwanted or unexpected, like the weather or, let's say, 2020 as a whole.

But then again, sometimes the changes are those aches and pains of unrest, resentment, frustration and more, and they will continue to pester us until we proactively incite a change in our lives.

So what are you doing to navigate change? Weigh in with this podcast and blog post here: www.MamaSaysNamaste.com/podcast-navigating-change

Is My Marriage Slipping Away From Me? Feb 24, 2021

Show notes

Are you recognizing that what you thought marriage would be...isn't what is happening in your home? Are you avoiding - or starting to face - that there are some cracks in your marriage that are starting to look a bit more like a chasm?

Nathan and Ashley address how to handle these realizations:

We don't talk anymore.

We don't touch anymore.

We don't date anymore.

We address the big scary aspects of having real and raw conversations about ensuring you both have the common goal to begin with, and stepping stones to course-correct and come back to a marriage with both people stepping up and having their space to shine.
