In this episode, we explore how to find the courage needed to make a big, life-changing decision and ways to gently navigate the messiness, difficult feelings, and uncertainty once the decision has been been.

In this mini episode, we're examining the stories we tell ourselves. More specifically: The fear-based stories the mind loops through that limit our actions or expressions in some way, shape, or form and the simple techniques we can use to free ourselves from their grip.

In this episode, we explore four simple yet transformative teachings that can be used to empower our lives in a deeper and more meaningful way. The four main topics we cover are: Satisfying needs; how to say 'no'; why our most sensitive triggers are the keys that unlock our deepest healing; and the quickest way to soften the voice of fear.

The true function of feelings is to elicit healing. They arise within us to inform us. Their sole purpose is to grab our attention so that we can respond with an appropriate healing response. This typically isn't how we respond to feelings though. We typically respond to feelings—especially “negative” ones—not by feeling them but by thinking about them. In this episode, we'll explore why we do do this and what we can do to stop thinking and start feeling our feelings.

In this mini episode, we're exploring the concept of truth through the lens of the evolution of consciousness.

Some of us fear our power because we've come to associate "power" with its ego-driven, hierarchical, and opportunistic counterpart of force. In this episode, we explore the differences between power and force and examine ways we can reclaim our power in a steady, heart-centered way so that we can more fully actualize our purpose.

When we become accustomed to something—person, place, thing, or experience—the mind has a tendency to forget the magic that it felt when it was new and novel. As we move along in life and our schedules solidify, we settle down, and we tuck into routines, a haze of monotony can move in on our lives. When this happens, life loses that glisten, that glimmer. Sometimes we recognize this shift and lean into our edges to re-illuminate life with magic. But more often than not, we accept monotony as normal. In this episode, we explore why the mind is prone to seeing monotony over magic and what we can do to reignite that invigorating life SPARK.

We're entirely capable of awe-inspiring changes and shifts at any age. But we've got to know what we're working with first. We need to know what stands in our way. In other words, we must know the enemy before we can determine the best course of action in becoming our own hero.

The truth is...

Most of us hit the age of 35 and from that point forward, simply become an increasingly concentrated version of whoever we were then.

But it's not by choice. It's by repetition.

And knowing the cause is the key to reversing it.

Triggers have gotten a bad rap in recent times. We're terrified of being triggered and we're scared of triggering others. We tiptoe across eggshells in our interactions. In return, we expect others to do the same. To mind themselves to avoid ruffling our feathers or crushing those fragile eggshells that surround our deepest wounds. Today we're going to flip this perception—the one that vilifies triggers—on its head. We'll explore why welcoming emotional triggers is a necessary step in the process of deep healing. And how the things and people that trigger us serve as messengers and as tour guides, leading us to the areas that need to be healed.

In this episode, we're talking about how giving ourselves the permission to be ordinary leads to more fulfillment, joy, and internal feelings of success. And ironically, how by allowing ourselves to be ordinary, we actually end up moving closer to extraordinary.

We give aspects of ourselves away or hide them away for many reasons—others' expectations, traumatic experiences, societal or cultural expectations, etc. However, to harness our authentic power, we must work to reclaim these lost aspects of self. In this episode, we discuss the what, why, and how of self-reclamation.
