#225 Acknowledgement Exercise Dec 08, 2020

Show notes

What if the key to knowing you could move forward was to acknowledge how far you’ve already come?

If everything is changeable then why am I still dealing with this?

I hear this all too often from folks (and experience it myself from time to time!)

We tend to only acknowledge the things in our lives that have changed in major ways.

But we all have those things that linger or that we get snarled on time and time again.

Whether they are born from trauma, limitation or a sense of unfulfillment; these deeper issues can seem hard to shake once and for all.

There is a key though that will free you from these sticky points. And build trust in yourself to take that next step in your journey.

The power of acknowledgement!

Tune in to discover:

3-part exercise to acknowledge how far you’ve come
#1 key in trusting yourself for what lies ahead
A-ha’s on the tenderest parts of ourselves and the “unchangeables” we live with (and how to have more ease with both)

#224 Your Day Your Way Nov 17, 2020

Show notes

What if one bad day was one too many?

So often we chalk bad days up to a given in our world. As if living every day in the energies we enjoy is too much to ask.

Most often this isn't a conscious choice – it’s us getting swept up by our environment and the people in it.

We match energies, mirror behaviors, adopt other’s thought processes - none of which serve our best interests.

Why? Because we are aware. Because we care. And sometimes because we are so considerate of others that swaying to them seems like the nicer choice.

But what if you could hold your own in the face of intense energies? Still be productive, responsive and engaged with others without losing you in the process?

Imagine moving through your day not having to give yourself up or fight for yourself either. Sounds too good to be true? Well it isn’t! It’s just a muscle to be built.

Join me on this week’s episode as I walk you through the why’s and the how’s.

#223 Progress: One Step at a Time Nov 10, 2020

Show notes

What if you’re life was progressing even if you feel like it isn’t?

Progress – in life, business and everywhere else – is not what it seems. It’s thought that we catch a wave and ride it to the finish line in one fell swoop.

We meet THE person, find THE job, create THE business and off we go with no pause or hiccup in sight. If only this were true…

Actually, creation / progress is more like an ocean. It ebbs and flows; undulating with waves that carry you and lulls that steep you in stillness. There are ups and downs and times when there is nothing to do but sit and be.

This can lead to frustration and tension as you push ahead trying to re-build momentum. Wasting your resources and making the journey more difficult.

Or the feeling like you should give up and try something else. Leaving whatever you have created thus far behind before it ever has a chance to bear fruit.

But what if you were progressing even in those ‘down times’? Could having more awareness of this process lead to more ease and choice along the way?

Tune into this week’s podcast to discover:

A-ha’s on the creative process in all areas of your life
Mindset traps that have you putting in more effort then in needed (and wasting your resources!)
Sneaky ways tension, stress and disappointment take us off path
Little known dance that helps you progress in all areas of living
How to trust the process – and yourself! – in all that you chose

#222 The Bright Side: Lessons from Pollyanna Nov 03, 2020

Show notes

Do you play the glad game or the judgment game?

Pollyanna gets a lot of flak. Most call her naïve, annoying or checked-out.

Why? Because she sees possibilities where others see problems. She chooses to spend her time being grateful, not lost in a list of complaints like so many others.

And she isn't afraid of being a bright light when others are choosing to be dull or dark with their view points.

Most in the world play the judgment game. Spending their day - and most of their energy - proving what they got right and fighting what they got wrong.

But not her. She doesn't get lost in their drama or suffer their limitations.

She is also a great example of happiness without "positivity." (the flip side of negativity that traps some of us in unexpected ways)

Given the state of the world - with all its judgment and polarity - this is a needed exploration right now!

Tune in to discover:

The trap of positive vs negative thinking and how to get un-stuck
Surprising way to silence your inner critic
A-ha’s on hidden judgments and how it may be dampening your happy

#221 Quieting Your Mind Oct 27, 2020

Show notes

The world is loud. But what if your mind didn’t have to be?

I know it sounds like a stretch – especially given the state of things lately! – but what if you could enjoy a sense of peace even if no one around you was?

A-ha moment: most of our mind spin isn’t ours! It’s simply our awareness of the world around us.

We all have a spidey-sense (that 6th sense of what’s going on below the surface of life). And it runs amuck sometimes.

As a result, we get too tuned into what’s around us and develop un-healthy patterns like:

Fulfilling other’s needs above your own
Overwhelmed to the point of inaction
Living up to what's expected of you (since that's all you can see)
Maintaining the status-quo

In my view, the mis-use and lack of education on this spidey sense is the main culprit of a busy, distracted mind.

The collective static of the world seeps inside us. It crosses the threshold of being someone else's and becomes your own. This is so lightning fast that it's hard to catch before it occurs!

I’ve spent YEARS tuning my own inner navigation system away from these un-healthy patterns. And educating myself on what I was aware of beyond their surface appearance.

Not letting things cross that threshold to become something that I had to carry for others. And not having to protect myself from it either.

I’d love to help you do the same!

Tune in to discover:

#1 way we let the outside world dictate our choices – and how to stop it
Ways to handle your awareness and sensitivity in intense moments
Mindset shift that will immediately let you decompress and re-connect to yourself

#219 A Go-To for Better Relationships Oct 06, 2020

Show notes

What if you could take off your filters and see people as who they are? Without judgement, the need to understand them or react to their behavior?

We have a way of filtering our awareness of who people are. Rosy colored glasses hurt our ability to see when someone doesn’t have our best interest at heart. Dark tinted glasses keep us suspect to anyone reaching out and keeps support at bay.

Both of these filters – and others we’ll talk about in this episode – keep us from having authentic connections, ease with people and to allow our relationships to evolve over time.

Tune in to this week’s episode to discover:

Why you feel stifled by people – and tools to help you not to be!

#218 The Sweetness of Life Sep 29, 2020

Show notes

What if you could enjoy the creative process of your life?

So often we get distracted by the to-do’s in our life. Checking the boxes along our race to the finish line pulls our focus. As a result, we miss out on the magic, beauty and possibilities along the way.

The pleasure factor of living gets left in the dust and becoming aware of off-roading adventures is really hard.

By taking time to “smell the roses” along the way you’ll start to harness a greater awareness, appreciation and enjoyment of life.

You'll also un-lock the creative power of presence (more on this in the episode!)

Tune into explore:

#1 key to life creation and how to cultivate it
How enjoyment can create ease for change
How to bridge the gap of what you want and were you currently are (it’d different than you think!)
Two perspectives you can take to stop being emotionally distracted while staying engaged
An invitation to seek beauty as a daily practice

#216 Control Freak? Try This! Sep 15, 2020

Show notes

Are you controlling yourself out of a happy life?

Control can show up in many different ways:

People pleasing – winning people over gives you a special kind of sway with them
Perfectionism – everything will be all right only if you're in total control of every detail (and get it just right)
Domineering personality – we all know what this looks like!
Withdraw and victim hood – ever use this to pull people your way?

No matter what tactic you use it all boils down to you having to be in the driver seat. Hyper-vigilant to every possible hazard on your path. And griping the steering wheel to control every nuance of direction.

But with this tight hold we cut out many of life’s unexpected pleasures – the off road-ing that can lead to a greater than planned destination and support along the journey.

Tune in to this week's episode to discover:

Surprising a-ha’s on how control can show up in your life
Awareness exercise to see how it may be hindering your life
Perspective flip on how to give up your control tactics (my fav trick!)
How to dynamically increase your receiving and “not in it alone” sense of support
