#186 Profiting in the New Year Jan 07, 2020

Show notes

How expansive would your life be if you were willing to profit from your actions?

Profit can be a nasty word to a lot of us.

If you are a service-based professional, care-giver or just generally like to use your resources to help people it can seem counter-intuitive – almost a no-no! – to profit from what you gift.

We treat our actions as a one-way avenue – OUT – and tamp down or cut off the return flow we could be receiving.

How to see the value in what you gift others
Investor mindset and how it can assist you in choosing more expansive places to put your resources

#185 Releasing the Ties That Bind: Relationship Freedom! Dec 17, 2019

Show notes

Where does your bond with people turn into being bound to them?

Our relationships make up the fabric of our lives. How we experience the world and the possibilities we can choose get filtered frequently through how we relate to others in our orbit.

Those relationships that are creative, fun, spacious and caring lead to a sense of open exploration and support along the way.

Those that are based in irritation, drama, false pretense or old patterns act like a tether to the past and prevent us from changing and growing with ease.

Regardless of how things are now with the people in your lives change is possible!

Show notes

What choices can you make to enjoy the holidays your way?

Not all of us enjoy the same things…

Yet we tend to chase widely accepted pictures of perfection and circumstances thinking it will create happiness within us.

This is particularly true around the holidays with all the expected joy of traditions, parties and family time.

#183 When People Bug You... Dec 03, 2019

Show notes

What are you aware of in people’s worlds when they are irritating you?

People are the wild cards in life.

We can be happy, hum drumming along in our life path then a person enters the picture and the whole situation changes.

It can be a havoc-wreaking or a subtle irritation that grows and starts to diminish our own experience.

So… how do you have ease with people? Especially when they are bugging you?!

There are many layers that take place in any given interaction which are rarely talked about…

Each layer - when not attended to - can cause upset, misunderstandings and the desire to pull away.

By developing our working knowledge on them EVERYTHING gets easier!

Show notes

Are you misusing gratitude and inadvertently making your life harder than it needs to be?

Gratitude, in its true form, is a must have for a life well lived.

However, a lot of us mis-use it. We use it as an excuse settle, fight the past to change our future or allow others to control us with gratitude shaming.

#181 Control Freak? This one’s for you! Nov 12, 2019

Show notes

What if there was a balance between leading and receiving that would make control obsolete?

So many of us are fighting a sense of dis-empowerment by controlling everything and everyone in our lives.

In doing so, we un-wittingly make our life path harder, worry-filled and tense our mind/body space.

After all, receiving, relaxing and co-creating with others is hard to do when you are micro managing it all!

#179 Reconnecting to the Beauty of Life Oct 29, 2019

Show notes

What beauty of living do you know is possible? What if you chose that more?

Its funny how often we allow our sense of space, peace and possibility to be overshadowed by the upset of others, our never-ending to-do lists or our external quest for achievement.

We fall prey to believing that we have to handle problems or achieve a certain degree of success before our lives can be filled with a sense of wonder and gratitude.

What if the reverse were true?

That a life filled with beauty is possible to chose in this moment and it’s that choice that will create more of it in your life?

#178 Desire: A Key to Make Your Life Work Better Oct 22, 2019

Show notes

How can exploring your desires allow you to create a lighter life?

So many of us are chasing someone else’s desire…

Either one they have for us – the best way forward in their perspective -

Or one they have of us – what we need to do and be for them.

These intense external desires make it hard to hear your inner voice and follow it.

We also get stuck by a lack of honesty with ourselves; being clear on what we truly want which then gives us the awareness of how to create it.

If your life hasn’t been working the way you know it can this may be a big key for you to explore!
