Ep. 83 - Realign Before Fall
At the end of August, I hosted a 5-day journaling journey with the goal to realign before Fall by gaining clarity about what you want more of in your life, understanding what works, what doesn't work and what's missing as well as making a plan of action for the end of the year. This episode is a sneak peek into the first 2 days of this experience. If you want more, find me on Instagram to sign up!
Ep. 82 - Ideas You Gave Up On
How many ideas have you discarded because someone was not enthusiastic when you told them about it? (That someone might be your own inner critic!) There are too many unfulfilled dreams out there, and this must change. In this week's episode, I teach you how to protect your inner knowing from your own and other people's insecurities.
Ep. 81 - Making Mistakes
If you're not making mistakes, you're probably playing it too safe. If you want to have stories to tell when you get older, you have to step into the unknown and put yourself in situations where you will be forced to grow. You'll be surprised at how much stronger you become when you are willing to take risks and learn from your mistakes.
Ep. 80 - Follow your dream or get real?
Should you pursue your passion or be realistic? Well, the answer is both. You can live in alignment with your values and also insure that your needs are fulfilled. You can have purpose AND pay the bills too. Leaning too heavily on either one of those sides will make you miserable in the long run. So this episode is all about how to find a balance between chasing dreams and building a strong foundation in the real world.
Ep. 79 - Loving Better
Love is much more challenging when the other person does not do what we want them to, and even worst when we're stressed, sleep-deprived or hungry. This episode is about how we can strengthen our ability to love independently of our current situation and the other person's behaviour. Sounds far fetched? Give me a chance and listen up.
Ep. 78 - Turn Yourself On
We all want an exciting life... but too often we expect our jobs, our people, the things we buy and even the place where we live to generate that excitement for us. In this episode, I encourage you to take back the responsibility and explore how you can be an active creator of passion instead of passively depending on the outside world.
Ep. 77 - Noble Excuses
Postponing our big scary dreams is easy, especially if we can come up with very important-sounding reasons. This is what Jon Acuff calls noble excuses! In this episode, I explain how easy it can be to unconsciously trick yourself into staying comfortable instead of facing your fears... and what to do instead so you can accomplish your goals and feel proud.
Ep. 76 - Being Judged By Others
Other people judging you is going to hurt if you think there is truth in their thinking. You can use their judgement as a great opportunity to get curious about what aspect of your life you need to strengthen your belief in. The more confident you become, the less judgement is going to get to you.
Ep. 75 - Judging Others
When you find yourself wanting to judging others, turning inward to see what might need addressing within you is a much better use of your energy. This episode explores what might be going on in your relationship with yourself when judgement feels so tempting.
Ep. 74 - Inner Toddler Tantrums
You know this part of you that doesn't want to work and just wants to chill and have fun? That's what I call your inner toddler! Sometimes their tantrums are going to get out of hand and get in the way of achieving our goals. How do we deal with our inner toddler in a way that's loving instead of letting them run the show? That's what I discuss in this week's episode.
Ep. 73 - What's Causing Your Motivational Slump?
Sustaining motivation over time is a skill to master if you want to achieve great things and make a difference in the world. In this episode, I share the top 5 ways I used to slow myself down so you can identify if you also get stuck in the same patterns and change your perspective where needed. Let's get busy creating a better world instead of getting tangled up in our fears!
Ep. 72 - Starting Something New
It's normal to suck when you try something new, like writing or freelancing or entrepreneurship. But how you THINK about the suck is what’s going to influence your enjoyment (or lack thereof) on the journey. If you want to keep going, you gotta learn to “embrace the suck” - as hikers sometimes say - and I teach you how in this episode.
Ep. 71 - Feelings That Help You Reach Your Goals
Feelings are a powerful fuel for reaching your goals - and good news: You can create them on purpose! In this episode, I share 10 feelings that will help you to keep moving forward in tough times.
Ep. 70 - Feelings That Get In Your Way
I am a fan of feelings and a sensitive person - but I know some of them are optional and even detrimental to our growth. We don't always have to be at the mercy of our hearts... we can practice directing our intrusive thoughts towards more helpful ways of thinking, which in turn is going to affect how we feel on a daily basis. I talk about how to approach this in today's episode.
Ep. 69 - Short-term Cravings vs. Long-term Desires
Building a life you don’t feel the need to escape from is not just about where you live, what you do and who you’re with. It’s mostly about what goes on between your ears.We have to know how to calm the tension of short-term cravings and how to stick around for long-term desires… otherwise we’ll spend our whole lives planting seeds, getting bored, planting seeds elsewhere and getting bored again. In this episode, I teach how to make the difference between what you crave right now, and what you want most in your life.
Ep. 68 - Maintaining Momentum for Long-Term Goals
Do you tend to fall into cycles where you go all-in and then crash? If so, this episode is for you. I ask you 3 questions to help you start thinking about what might be going on.
Ep. 67 - Strong Opinions and Strong Emotions
As a very sensitive person, I used to get very emotional when I disagreed with someone or when something seemed unfair. Although my feelings were 100% valid, they often got in the way of having open conversations with the people involved and instead created defensiveness and barriers. Overtime I learned to channel my passion differently because I believe meaningful connection is what creates real change in the world. Here's how you can also start making the shift towards a more compassionate approach to disagreement.
Ep. 66 - Big Life Transitions
The idea of leaving a partner, a career or a community is extremely uncomfortable and that's why maybe people never do it. The transition is scary because there is often empty space before starting something new and our belief system has to catch up to who we are becoming. Are you willing to let go of comfort for a chance at leading the life of your dreams?
Ep. 65 - Crossing the Sad Gap by Committing to One Thing
The "Sad Gap" is a term invented by the vloggers John and Hank Green to express feelings of powerlessness about what's going on in the world. In a recent video, John explains that one way he overcomes these feelings is by committing to a clear purpose. In this episode, I share my thoughts on the subject and why I think this could change everything in your life.
BONUS Episode - How to Stop Feeling Selfish or Guilty for Putting Yourself First
Do you feel like a privileged princess or a spoiled brat for wanting what you want? Do you sometimes tell yourself you should be grateful for what you have instead of always seeking more for your life? Do you get annoyed at yourself for being unsatisfied again and wish you could just be content?! This bonus episode is for you!
