Aligned Inside

What does it look like to embrace our authenticity? And what if embracing our authenticity leads to a disruptive change or a painful conflict? In this episode I share the story of an unexpected response to one of the first trainings I gave on authenticity and what I've learned from it in hindsight. I also share how a period of radical authenticity in my relationship led to a jarring but much needed rebirth of our connection, and how to find more peace with the changes that emerge when we're authentic.

How comfortable are you letting the people in your life be uncomfortable? In this episode I explore why our well-intentioned attempts to fix, problem-solve, and rescue people from their emotional discomfort often backfire. I share about the counterintuitive way that letting each other be uncomfortable actually deepens connection and reduces loneliness. I also share one of my favorite guiding principles to help us interrupt our knee jerk ways of listening, and do something different that allows us to show up more meaningfully for the people in our lives.

Why are our old patterns so tough to change, and how do we shift them in a way that actually sticks? In this episode I explore the misguided ways most of us try to approach pattern-shifting, why these approaches don't work, and what I've seen be the most effective for myself and my clients when it comes to genuinely transforming our unwanted patterns. I share a useful metaphor for how pattern-shifting works, and some coaching prompts that will help you start getting to the root of the patterns you're ready to evolve beyond.

How often do you tune in with your intuition? This episode is all about the importance of connecting with our intuition, and what an accurate and empowering navigation system it is for each of us! I share about the intuitive moment that finally led me to end a relationship I had been wanting to get out of for months, my favorite practice for honing my intuition in my day-to-day, and how to use your intuition to map you toward your deepest desires.

If you tend to overthink the future and worry about things that haven't even happened yet, this episode is for you. I share my personal revelation about worry and how it changed the way I approach my business and life.

Does your appetite for fun experiences in life ever exceed your genuine capacity? Do you sometimes struggle to honor your natural limits because you're afraid of missing out? In this episode I share my inner tug-of-war with FOMO on a recent vacation with my husband, my struggle to acknowledge my limits, and how giving myself permission to fall apart was the linchpin moment that finally turned everything around.

What if what feels like alignment is actually just what lines up with our limiting beliefs? In this episode I explore what self-sabotage is, why it's so common, how to view it with a compassionate lens, and some metaphors that might help you pinpoint where it's showing up in your life. I hope this episode helps you get better at discerning between self-sabotage and true alignment so you can move beyond your inner limitations and embrace greater well-being!

Sometimes we think we're in alignment when actually, we're controlling. In this episode I share how I've personally learned to sense the difference between alignment and control, and why it matters. I also share about a revelation I had on a recent trip with my husband, and how I discovered the beauty in releasing control.

When you have a strong impulse to make a big life-altering decision, how do you tell if it's coming from a grounded place? In this episode, I explore the difference between alignment and escapism. I share two examples from my life: one where it looked like escapism but it was actually alignment, and the other where it looked like alignment but it was actually escapism. I hope this supports you in discerning the difference for yourself!

In this episode, I circle back to fill in some gaps about what 'inner alignment' means to me. I share some of the ways alignment has shown up in my experience, what it does and doesn't look like from my perspective, and how this might apply to your life. Spoiler alert: it's mostly about abandoning the quest to find the answers in our minds, and just being in relationship with what feels true in our bones.
