A Life That Lets Me Breathe

In this episode, I explore what it means to surrender.  I used to think to surrender meant to give up.  But now I understand that the more we practice letting go, the more we learn how to open our hearts and receive what is ready to unfold in our lives.

I also talk about how to discern between when you're making a decision based in fear and when you're letting love lead the way.

In today's show we are exploring the idea that YOU are not the thoughts you continuously think.  I will share a few practical tips that you can start doing today that will help you break free of some of your negative thought patterns.  

We tend to become attached to our thoughts and we forget that we are not those thoughts. 

When you learn to think a new thought you can dream a new dream.  You can see your life in a whole new way.

You can practice becoming an observer of your thoughts and notice what triggers your negative habitual thought patterns so you can change them, and start to see new perspectives, with a kind and open mind.

Enjoy the show!

In today’s show, I am sharing a lovely conversation with Success Coach and Entrepreneur, Angie Peladeau.

Angie and I met 9 years ago when I offered my first online course, Inside Out: A Creative Adventure of Self-Discovery.  She shares what drew her to take that course at the time, and how the challenges she’s faced since then have shaped the direction of her life and have allowed her to make her dreams a reality.

Angie helps you move beyond the stage of just dreaming about your life to a place where you can be more intentional about your success and start living the life you are dreaming about.

This is a great for show for anyone feeling burned out and ready for inspiration and encouragement to make personal and mindful changes in your personal and work life, so that you can start taking mindful baby steps while reconnecting to the things that make life so meaningful.

You can learn more about Angie on her website here.  You can join Angie’s Facebook community here.

To enjoy her free gift, visit HERE!

Thanks so much for listening and thank you, Angie, for your inspiration.  I’m so grateful.

Thanks for listening.

Warmly,

Shannon

In today's show, we explore setting boundaries and how saying "no" can sometimes feel hard and scary, yet when we learn to do it, can bring libration to our lives.

Did you know that it is not your responsibility to "fix" people? Are there people in your life who ask a lot of you?  Who do you have a hard time saying no to?  Who has that kind of energy that drains you?  All of these interactions need boundaries.

Sometimes it takes some stumbling and fumbling before we get a clear idea of what those boundaries should be and how to set them. That's what we explore in today's show.

Do you have fear of judgement from others? Do you constantly worry about what others will think if you say no?  Or do you assume they are going to be mad at you?  Do you hate conflict and would rather go with the flow (but at what cost?). Do you say yes because you feel guilty or because it feels selfish to say no?

We all feel this way from time-to-time.  But guess what?  Their problems are not your problems.  Can you feel the freedom in that?  What problem can you hand back as you practice setting new boundaries?

When you are starting to set new boundaries you'll have to retrain the people in your life.  But with new boundaries comes new respect and freedom.  It's so worth it!  It takes some practice and it does get easier. With time you will notice new space and more time in your life, healthier relationships and you'll feel happier, too. 

Enjoy the show and thanks for listening.

In today's show we explore what it means to live freely.

What does it mean to live freely?  As much as we want to live freely, most of us feel trapped and overwhelmed by our responsibilities and obligations.  It seems like we have everything but freedom.

There is a way to live more freely, and in this episode I'm sharing my 5 essential tips so that you can feel less distracted and more connected in your daily life.

How do you make space for the things that matter most to you? How do you discern between what to do in your life, where to put your energy and what to let go of?

We explore this and more in today's episode.

The book I mentioned in today's show is Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg McKeown.
