The Divine Masculine: What It Is and What It Is Not Oct 04, 2017

Show notes

Episode 172: When you think of masculinity, what comes to mind? Really...think about it for a second. Whatever beliefs you hold around the masculine are going to come up in your goals, drive, ambitions and boundaries. If you think masculinity is rigidness and hardness, that's exactly how you're going to structure your life. If you think masculinity is brutish and rude, you're most likely never going to learn how to be assertive and create boundaries when you need them. It's just as important to come home to your masculine as it is to come home to your feminine. What you may not understand clearly is that the masculine is not perfectionism. It's not rigidity. It's not obsessive. The pure form of the Masculine is presence, knowledge and strength. It's the warrior. It's the protector. In today's podcast, we're going to dive deep into this topic so you can clearly see where your masculine energy needs more attention so that you can become your own warrior. Show notes: The Divine Masculine embodies your inner protector, warrior, Self, goal-orientation, strength, decisiveness and action-taking. It is the pushing out in life. It's the sun and your ability to hold knowledge. Many of us have the Masculine confused. We think the Masculine is our perfectionist side. It's not: perfectionism is the deranged, fear-based version of the Masculine. Many of us don’t know what it truly feels like to live with our Divine Masculine. The masculine and feminine are meant to complement and support each other. it’s the yin and yang. The Book of She What people often confuse with the divine masculine: Inner Patriarch It’s fear-based, “If I don’t do all of these things, then I won’t be worthy/seen/loved/accepted” The Inner Patriarch thinks feelings are weakness or emotions are “crazy” (obviously this stifles a lot of energy that needs to be felt) Matthew Hussey video Inner Pusher This energy shoves, drives and forces us to exert beyond our body’s instincts It runs over any potential creative energy we could have Inner Perfectionist This one tells us we are never enough; body image, work ethic, school, family life Sometimes we can’t even start something because we are so daunted by the process The distinction between “Hard” vs. Strong Examples of how you know your Divine Masculine is in shadow and examples of Him being in light Forgiving your own father Get a free trial with Audible HERE Suggested books: To Be a Man & The Way of the Superior Man Connect with Maddy: Facebook Twitter Instagram Mind Body Musings Podcast Coaching [Tweet "The Masculine is your yang-- and it's necessary for a life of inner harmony. #DivineMasculine"] {COACHING} Ready to break limiting beliefs + Take your self-worth to the next level?

Grieving “What Could Have Been” and Understanding Emotional Abuse Sep 13, 2017

Show notes

Episode 169: In today's episode of the Mind Body Musings Podcast, I'm going to dive into a topic that has yet to be shared on the show. I want to talk about the process of grief- and more specifically, grieving your idea of what could have been...not the reality. You see, many times we can go through traumatic experiences and cling on to what we thought we could have had "if only" this, this and this didn't happen. And it's these thoughts that lead us to feel guilty. "If only I didn't mess up in this way" or "If only I had known better." On the flip side, we may feel guilty not because we wish we would have worked harder, but we feel guilty for being "stupid" enough to fall into a bad relationship in the first place. Have you been in an emotionally abusive relationship in your past or possibly the present? If so, I'm guessing you know what I'm talking about. If you've been holding onto shame or guilt around this topic, this episode of the podcast is a must-listen. Show notes: Various emotions explained by @thefeminineshift Click HERE to listen to a previous episode I did with Suzanne Heyn where we talked about the secret messages of sadness, anger and anxiety Are you the runner or chaser in a relationship? Find out by listening to THIS episode I had with Mark Groves How thinking about free will differently can release you from feelings of guilt Why it's important to feel you pain/anger and not skip right over to gratitude if you are not yet ready How some of us put our nurturing ability first instead of our emotions Why being pushed and pulled in a relationship (feeling a roller coaster of emotion) isn't passion Why we tend to go back to the ones who hurt us Adult attachment styles discussed in THIS podcast episode "Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional" Living an insecurity-based life Why it is important to know what you're grieving about - is it the reality or is it an idea of what you wished you had?

Show notes

Episode 168: Whether you're a mom, student, wife or you're already an entrepreneur, I believe everyone has a desire to create something. Creation is embedded into your soul. Creativity is constantly stirring- you just have to decide to give it an opportunity to grow. In today's episode of the Mind Body Musings Podcast I'm going to teach you how to create an online business with integrity and heart. There are so many coaches and "gurus" out there saying they hold the secrets to having a thriving business, and at times, all of this contradicting information can be frustrating. Facebook live? Marketing funnels? Affiliates? Free videos? Podcasts? Which is the "right" way? I have fallen prey to listening to other people's business ideas many times, but I've also discovered how to realize if something really is in alignment with me or not. I'll also share with you my own entrepreneurial venture in this podcast, so get ready for a bumpy ride! Show notes: My journey of wanting to be a poetry major and creating two poetry blogs to feel what it's like to get "out there" How I started to coach women with weight loss (yes, me!), where I also got involved with the wrong coach I realized I no longer wanted to do what I'm doing so I moved to Colorado, took a hiatus and went on a mission to dive into self-acceptance, self-love and eventually love for others Why my experiences (and yours) are enough to change the lives of others through coaching How one two-hour coaching session changed my life forever The time I flew to Hawaii after I quit my job because the Universe opened it up to me The first time my idea of money was really challenged (paying $1200 for a two day workshop that I had to fly to and also find my own accommodation for) Changing my money mindset from either/or to "and" Why you need to do a lot of trial and error in your business to discover what is aligned with you Why you should always feel like your heart is on fire when you want to try something new in your business Listen to this previous episode I had with Christian Sinclair How ego covers up inspiration when you start to appreciate another person's business Why being the best version of yourself benefits your business Click HERE if you want to get a FREE audio book and a 30-day trial with Audible Recommended books to read: You are a Badass by Jen Sincero The Purpose Principles by Jake Ducey Playing Big by Tara Mohr Discover your inner mentor by listening to THIS previous episode I did with Tara Mohr To apply for one of my Deep Coaching Sessions mentioned in the episode, go HERE Connect with Maddy: Facebook Twitter Instagram Mind Body Musings Podcast Coaching [Tweet "Integrity + Heart: Two must-have ingredients for creating an online business #MBMPodcast"] {COACHING} Ready to break limiting beliefs + Take your self-worth to the next level?

After years of trying to overcome emotional eating, binge-eating and chronic weight-cycling through "traditional" and alternative approaches, Isabel discovered some radical new ways to get women over their "food issues" once and for all — not just by shifting the mindsets of individuals, but by challenging the dominant diet culture as a whole.

The Four Agreements Aug 09, 2017

Show notes

Episode 165: The Four Agreements by don Miguel Ruiz has been a North Star in my life. Not only that, but it's mandatory my clients pick up a copy at some point during the duration of our coaching. A few weeks ago I heard don Miguel Ruiz Jr. speak live in Boulder about living a life of the Four Agreements. It was this talk that truly took these agreements to an entirely new level of understanding. In today's podcast I'm going to share with you some of the most valuable pieces of wisdom shared from that talk. Before you dive in, I suggest you check out the Four Agreements HERE and Living a Life of Awareness HERE. Show notes: The Four Agreements is a transformational book, serving as a guide to once again treat yourself with unconditional self love. Ever heard of Beautycounter? It's changing the way we do safe skincare and beauty. Start exploring my BC website HERE Conditional love is the result of domestication; domestication is a system of reward and punishment. Domestication begins through others and carries on in life through ourselves (the inner dialogue between our head and heart). Domestication happens when someone tries to turn a no into a yes and ignores that person's free will. If we spend our entire lives believing love is conditional then conditional love is all we have to offer. The effects of domestication in our romantic relationships Say yes or no for yourself, not for others. The Four Agreements you can make with yourself: Be impeccable with your word: say only what you mean and be responsible for that alone. You are not responsible for what others hear. Don’t take anything personally: it's about them, not about you. Respect others people's no's and yes's. Don’t make assumptions. Always do your best. The key to enlightenment is effort. Forgive yourself for ever saying yes to believing in conditional love and choose to start saying no moving forward. Experience unconditional love within yourself first.
