How would your life change if you were able to view the people and situations around you through unconditional love 1% more than you are right now?   It's a question I've been pondering for awhile. I know my life has and would significantly be positively impacted. I'd feel less stress. Judgement. Worry. More lightness, care, and compassion.   Want to see if this could be a pathway to increasing your beautiful impact on the world? Tune in for more on this short episode.

In this return from a few weeks away, I'm going to share with you my humbling experience of surviving acute liver failure.   It was unexpected. It was at moments terrifying. And there was a lot of healing. A lot. And so much more still to happen.   It's hard to put those moments and experiences into words, and today I want to share a few personal takeaways I had from it. 

What do your possessions, the things around you, say about you do you think? It's been a very present question in my life, and one I haven't usually thought much about until recently! It's so curious to dig into what you have, how you keep it, etc and see parallels into other areas of your life. Boundaries with relationships and work (or maybe lack of), habits around letting go of things (or people) no longer serving you, or not.  I'm excited to hear how this perspective resonates with you, and maybe reveals more into the story of who YOU are.

Do you know what happens when our eyes and ears are constantly bombarded with new things, be it social media, the news, shopping, email?   I had never thought about this before. But I have realized that the answer to this question is also the answer to feeling more free, peaceful, and grounded.   Curious? Tune into this episode to learn more.

Do you have some go-to people that you admire and enjoy their words of wisdom when you're looking to get out of your own head and into some inspiration?   Today I'll be sharing some words of wisdom from American-Tibetan Monk Pema Chodron. I'm excited to hear which words really resonate with you and your journey at this moment!

Have you ever caught yourself saying 'I don't have enough time to...'   Yeah, me too. And what a beautiful invitation in that moment to ask ourselves this leading question - is life living me, or am I living life?   We're going to explore this question today and really dig into some of our choices to determine how nourishing they are, or is it just a routine that's actually hurting me in the long run?

Have you set your intentions for this upcoming year? Do you have something loud, flashy, and sexy that you're planning to accomplish in 2022?   Or, are you looking to become someone new this year? Dedicate yourself to something that's more inward facing than outward?   I'm going to share a new perspective on goals and invite you look at who you want to be this year slightly differently than you have maybe done so in the past. 

Have a full and busy agenda for the holiday season? Plans, sleepovers, meals, travel, and all the other things that go with it?   Yeah.. ME TOO MY FRIEND! And while I couldn't be more excited, I also know how easy it can be to get carried away in it and need a vacation from my vacation (y'all feel me on this, don't you?).   So, let's remind ourselves of one quick, one easy, one joyful way to be present and be GRATEFUL in the midst of the chaos.

Do you have a relationship with your intuition? That quiet little whisper soft nudge that always talking, but we can only hear if we're quiet and wanting to?   Today we're going to talk about how to recognize when it's your intuition talking (which btw it's ALWAYS talking) and how to start to train yourself to hear it and follow it.    This is a favorite topic of mine, and one that I would credit so much of my life's happiness to. To continually honing my ability to hear my intuition and then trusting enough to follow its lead.

So what are we talking about today?   After you let your mind wander, bring it back to YOU and where you're spending your time and focus. What are you focusing on, and how deeply are you committing to it?

Do you live in chaos? Have something coming up that makes you feel like you're in a hurricane of action, craziness, and busyness? Today we'll dive into how to practically manage those moments (or days, or weeks or... YEARS) with a very easy and intuitive technique of working with opposites.  Tune in for the easiest way to balance and ground yourself.

It's the weekend of Thanksgiving here in the states and yet this week, in the midst of glorious turkey and loud family dinners I am thankful for… the capacity to grieve.    All of the little things we do day to day to create space in our life for equilibrium, for growth, for being present can support us in so many beautiful ways when life presents grief.    Today we will dissect the importance of creating space and stability in our life. Today we will also discuss the gift of being present in our grief.   This episode is for you, my sweet friend, Dr. Jessica Peterson.

Do you have a goal? I know you do. I do too. The thing is, we always have a goal. Something we want. Something we believe we'll be happier in the having of it.    But is it worth going after your goal and withholding your happiness/wholeness/fullness until you reach the goal? What if you could feel NOW how you will feel once you achieve your goal?   We dig into who YOU are without your goal this week my friend. It's a thoughtful conversation and one that could take you to new heights of living your best life, every single day.

Are your daily practices leading to an amazing state of bliss and joy in your life?   However you answered that question, I encourage and invite you to tune in this week to really dig into how the small, daily actions in our life are either nourishing us, or depleting us.    And also I want to share with you an invitation to review this CURRENT chapter in your life. The daily practices that once nourished you could very well now be depleting you. Because you've changed, #amiright?   Tune into this episode for a personal story, my current daily practices that are yielding nourishment in my life, and some thought provoking questions that could very well turn your life into gorgeous moments of nirvana.

How would you feel if everything you identify with was taken away? Well, that's a pretty big place to start. But what about if your job was taken away? What would happen to your worthiness?   You see, so often we place our self worth in our job and the 'things' around us. Today we're going to discuss what it could be like to imagine that our worthiness isn't tied up in something outside of us, but rather our own opinion of ourselves.   Just a small topic for your day:).

Do you get in that habit of read, read, read, talk, talk, talk, watch, watch, watch, consume, consume, consume? Ever?   Yeahhhh, kind of my kryptonite too because it's SO MUCH FUN to learn, right?! Well this week we're going to talk about the other end of consuming that is equally important, and that's DIGESTION.    Let's dig into how we can better digest and create wisdom within us for the things that we consume, and get out of the rut of a busy mind and into a space of calmness. 

Do you have a soul city? You know, a city that you go to and you feel like you've been there before even though it's your first trip?   I do! My U.S. soil soul city is CHARLESTON, SC and I had the great pleasure of visiting it again with my mama this past weekend. As a result, I am sharing with you the top 6 things you HAVE TO DO when you go to Charleston.    Here's links to some of the places I recommend in the podcast: Perla Anne Press Zola Jewelry V2V Charleston Callie's Hot Little Biscuits Two Sister's Tour

So what is 'culture' anymore these days?   I believe, and have seen over and over again, that the most successful companies/organizations/families/groups are those who are aligned with their culture. Meaning, their words are aligned with their actions.   We're going to dig into a really important topic today - one that I believe is at the root of much disengagement or engagement for any group.   Tune into episode #38 for tangible steps you can take to create a culture roadmap in your department/team/group/family/the sky is the limit!

So you have an awesome practice of self awareness, right? You meditate/journal/do yoga/run/walk in nature/breathe? And how often are you taking your practice off the mat and into your life?   It can be challenging to apply what you learn about yourself in the real world. Where life and unaware and detached people are bumping into you all day.    But THIS is where we're called to rise. THIS is the invitation to apply what you're learning about yourself - and there's no better place to practice it then the 'zombie-filled' workplace. Tune in for three ways to tangibly practice compassion off the mat, and at your work.

Do you know that feeling when you want something soooo bad that just thinking of it actually makes you feel kinda bad because thinking of it makes you realize how much you DON'T actually have it?   Yeah, I have SO been there before too, which is why this delicious topic of Unattachment is so important! Now I'll admit, this is a heavier topic to have over coffee BUT it's utterly life changing.    So grab your cup of Joe, snuggle in, and start playing with how you could live life more fuller with less attachment to HOW it all has to go down.
