There is a shift happening in the world where people are moving from just relying on their 5 senses to trusting the other senses we have been given such as our intuition and gut. We hear more and more people say "I can't explain it but I just have a feeling" but it can be hard to trust our gut if those around us demand an explanation andd information. It can make us doubt our gut or dismiss it…
Have you ever found yourself wanting to speak up about something but you decide not to? It could be at work, with friends, with your spouse, at the store, at a restaurant. We don't want to create conflict or make it awkward. In this episode, I tap into all the reasons we often choose to stay quiet instead and why its important we don't in order for us to be our authentic self. The good hearted,…
You know what we have become really good at doing? Coming up with labels and boxes to put people in. We want to pack a punch and invoke emotion with the least words possible. What better way than to call people names that puts them into a box. Eliminates the need to even have a rational, intellectual argument. In this episode, I unpack how easily we lose sight of our humanity when we define…
Ever wake up and realize you've been living on autopilot — saying yes to things you didn't choose and following a path someone else set for you? In this episode, I unpack a quote by Brené Brown that got me thinking about what it really means to be intentional — and why we sometimes avoid it. Let's get honest about what (and who) we're prioritizing, so we can either make changes or drop the guilt…
There are a small number of people who leave a lifelong impact on who you become. The individual I'm interviewing on this episode, Jonathan Ord, is one of those humans for me. You have to listen in order to understand why I look up to this individual for his example, principles and wisdom. He has a wonderful way of helping us come back to the core of who we are meant to be. A lot of things in the…
It has never been more important than now to be in touch with your inner self and knowing so that your reality is an expression of you and not those around you. How do you do this when we are constantly being bombarded with opinions, reels, tiktoks, marketing to make us follow the crowd? In this episode, I dive into my observations and realizations around this topic and what happens when we follow…
Have you ever noticed the difference between doing something because it's necessary versus doing it because you want to be seen or because of insecurities? In this episode, I unpack the distinction between practical motive and psychological motive, and how this subtle shift can be the root of stress, disappointment, or peace in our lives. I share stories from a weekend at a Krishnamurti ashram,…
Something I love doing is unpacking life with my kids too. Its a skill I want them to grow up having and using as they move through life. My eight year old daughter has been watching me for the last 5 years doing this podcast and asked if she could do an episode with me so here it is! We talk about the mind vs heart, friendship, how to release hard things and much more. Enjoy and listen with your…
Opinions seem to be a dime a dozen these days. Humans probably have always had opinions but now they are thrown in our face by every Joe Shmoe through social media, news, etc. Someone in my life recently shined a light on all my opinions, especially the unnecessary ones. In this episode, I unpack this for myself and what I discovered along the way. Are they all necessary? What is the impact of…
In this episode, I unpack a lesson from my old boss who told me, "don't get too comfortable with the status quo." At the time, I thought everything was great so why 'fix what ain't broken?' I later realized he was pointing to something deeper: when we settle into "good enough," we often miss out on the more life has for us. I talk about how life nudges us and gives us opportunities to upgrade if…
