Honoring Your Inconvenient Needs Aug 06, 2018

Send Mara a quick text love note here!

Raise your hand if you've ever judged your needs or seen them as incredibly inconvenient. (Me too.) You aren't alone. The truth is, our needs can be messy. WE can be messy. Today's episode explores the reality that we are deserving of our needs and having our needs met no matter how we might feel about ourselves in any given moment.

Tending to yourself is the practice of being in relationship with your needs, so that you can show up for your life each and every day as whole and well-nourished as possible. This relationship is not a distraction from your life purpose. It is the energetic underpinning to your life purpose.

Tune in to hear me explore…

The process for getting into your body to identify your needs
What to do with conflicting needs when they arise (like, all the time)
What to do if what you need isn’t what you WANT to need or how you want to need it
Perfectionism as a barrier to meeting your needs imperfectly

Today’s episode features Michelle Ward, the When I Grow Up Coach! Michelle has been offering dream business guidance for creative women since 2008. You may have seen or heard her in New York Magazine, The Huffington Post, Etsy, Newsweek, Freelancers Union, USA Today, the Forbes Top 100 Websites for your Career List or 150+ other media outlets. She’s the co-author of The Declaration of You, which was published by North Light Books, and the teacher of Create Your Dream Career and Ditch Your Day Job, which were watched by tens of thousands of people live on CreativeLive. When she’s not coaching, teaching or speaking, she can be found building a fort for her little girl, sitcom-binging with her husband, or belting out show tunes. One of the things that I have always adored about Michelle is how direct she is with her advice. In today’s episode, she reminds us that we may need to say no to in order to say YES to ourselves and to our dreams in a way that feels both encouraging and spectacularly doable. Michelle shares about how her self-care has evolved through creating her business, getting married, adopting her daughter, and surviving breast cancer, twice.

Tune in to hear us explore…

Caring for yourself while you are in transition, instead of pushing it aside until you “get there”
Eliminating things from your life that you don’t want to to do create space for the things you DO want to do (and how to say no – eep!)
Being really honest with ourselves about our actual capacity while chasing our dreams
Nourishing creative habits as a form of self-care

Today you are in for a special treat – a doubleheader of episodes featuring Dyana Valentine!

Dyana is an oracle. She started doing Woke Up Knowing™ experiences in 2011 when she had a waking vision of being in a bed in an ancient castle with people sitting around her bed waiting to hear a dream she had. Years later, she has dreamt in several countries, in languages she doesn’t speak, for seekers, artists, scientists, and humanitarians. Dyana’s work is powerful, agitating, and deep. Over the time that I have known her, I have been inspired again and again by the dedication that she pours into her work and the people it is of service to. Today’s episodes feature a duo of interviews. First, I interview Dyana about self-trust, honoring the indicators that have paved the portal for her work as an oracle, and meeting her needs for racial justice. In the second episode, Dyana interviews me, asking me questions about race, sex, and money.

Hear Dyana Ask Me About

My relationship with the activated process of breaking cycles of racial injustice
Integrity – and questioning what I think I know as I work through layers of White Supremacy in my understanding of the world around me
Meeting my need for sex – and how sometimes I’ve used food to hide out from meeting this need
My relationship with money and the story behind how we bought our home
