In this episode, we’re diving into the concept of learning to embrace all parts of your self. I talk about why I intentionally separated “your” and “self”, what your “self” is, and how this topic of embracing your self is deeply connected to my mission as a coach.

I also share my journey of learning to embrace the parts of me that used to cause a lot of confusion, insecurity, and shame. I talk about the personal struggles I went through on the path towards accepting my anxiety and being an introvert and a highly sensitive person, and how I view these parts of my self now.

In the episode I also dive into the costs of not embracing your self, my thoughts on the problematic side of self-improvement, and shifting your perspective on the parts of you that you’ve thought were a burden so you can see them as a blessing instead.

I really share my heart in this episode, and if you can relate in any way, I hope it brings you comfort and helps you connect to all parts of your self.

This is the last episode of the year, so I wish you all the best as we wind down 2021 and welcome 2022. Keep your eye out for new episodes in January!  

This episode is all about shifting from comparison to compassion. I talk about what comparison might look like, how it’s been showing up in my life, and why tapping into your compassion can be a powerful way to break free from comparison.

I also share 8 reminders to help you shift from the headspace of comparison and into the heart-space of compassion. These reminders are a great starting point for freeing yourself from the grips of comparison so that you can tune into your self-compassion and use your energy in more empowering ways.

No matter how often you find yourself stuck in a comparison mindset, remember you always have the power to choose to think differently. Take note of these 8 reminders for the next time comparison tries to get the better of you!

In this episode, I share my thoughts on the concepts of resistance and acceptance, how resistance can show up and what it might look like, and where I’ve been struggling with it the most.

I also talk about the awakening I experienced that led me to start making the conscious shift from resistance to acceptance, how this practice looks and feels, and why holding space for resistance can be useful and even essential sometimes.

Listen in for my personal experience and some heart-centred advice on the power of holding space for resistance so that you can connect with the energy that will allow you to shift and soften into acceptance.

And at the end of the episode, I share something that came about as a direct result of me living in more acceptance and not letting resistance hold me back. It also really encapsulates the essence of what I do and how I help women as a Self-Empowerment Coach, so if you’ve been thinking about receiving coaching, I really hope you stick around at the end of the episode to hear what I have to share!

Hello again! After a two month break, the Awaken & Empower podcast is back!

In this episode, I talk about:

• How my two month break impacted me mentally, emotionally, and spiritually

This episode is definitely more of a personal one. I really appreciate having this space to share openly and honestly. I hope listening in on my thoughts and experiences resonates with you in some way, and at the very least helps you feel a little less alone.

And remember, it’s okay to show up even when you feel like you have nothing figured out. We are all constantly growing and evolving, learning and navigating, healing and becoming. This process never ends, and that’s the beauty of being human.

I’m so happy to be back! If you resonated with anything in this episode, I’d love to hear from you. You can email me at [email protected] and find me on Instagram @living.embrace. You can also use my Contact Me page at https://livingembrace.ca/contact-me/

In this episode, I share from the heart about what has led me to decide to take a little break from the podcast for the time being.

This decision wasn’t easy to make because I truly love creating for the podcast and for everything else I do as well. But I’ve felt like my inner spark has been out for awhile now, and I know I need to allow myself time and space to just be.

Listen in to hear me share what’s been going on for me lately that has led me to this decision, my thoughts on the whole concept of taking a break from what you do, and how I’m feeling about moving forward into this place of stillness.

No matter what your life situation is, I hope this episode helps you remember that it’s safe to follow your intuition and your inner knowing. There’s a part of you that always knows what’s best for you, and only you have access to it. You can trust the stillness and you can always create the space to just be.

As I mentioned in the episode, I’ll still be offering my Self-Empowerment Coaching services during this time. You can find more info on my current offerings at https://livingembrace.ca/coaching-services/

I’m sending you so much love and gratitude always, and I will talk to you again whenever it feels right. Thank you for being here!   

If you feel like you’re often hard on yourself, your inner critic is loud, and you struggle with low self-worth, first of all, you’re not alone. As painful as it can be, it’s part of the human experience.

But there are ways to shift to a gentler, softer, more loving place within yourself. In today’s episode, we’re diving into a couple of concepts that can help you make that shift, and those concepts are self-compassion and giving yourself grace.

Listen in to learn what self-compassion and giving yourself grace means, the negative effects of the alternatives, and how to detach yourself from limiting thoughts so you can start to choose compassion over criticism.

I also share why I’ve needed to lean into self-compassion and give myself more grace lately, and I offer up lots of self-reflection prompts to help you integrate this inner work into your own specific situation.

I hope this episode helps you shift your energy towards compassion and allows you to connect with a sense of grace in your heart.

If this is something you want more personalized support with, I’d be honoured to meet you where you are and help you out! You can find out everything you need to know about my Self-Empowerment Coaching at https://livingembrace.ca/coaching-services/

On July 15 2020, one year ago, I officially launched my Self-Empowerment Coaching practice. In this episode, I’m commemorating this milestone by sharing my thoughts and feelings about my first year in business.

This year has come with a lot of harsh realities that I’m still navigating now (maybe even more so than ever). I’ve never wanted to hide or gloss over the more difficult parts of life, so in the episode I share honestly about some of the struggles I’ve gone through since launching my coaching practice, including feelings of hopelessness and shame, going through tough experiences with my mental health, and facing some rough self-doubt, self-criticism, and low self-worth.

But of course, this past year has also come with some amazing benefits. One of the most powerful benefits of this journey has been the personal growth I’ve experienced, and in the episode, I talk about how this growth has allowed me to become more myself than I’ve ever felt before.

I also talk about how everything that happened in the past year has impacted how I treat my business and live my life now, and how I’m choosing to move forward into the future.

To give this milestone the appreciation it deserves, I really wanted to create space to both honour the harsh realities and celebrate the personal growth of my first year in business. I feel like I’ve done that in this episode, and as always, I hope hearing my story helps you feel less alone and more sure of yourself in yours.

This episode is an honest, real, and raw conversation between me and one of my favourite people in the world, my dear friend Brianna Mullin.

Brianna is such a source of intelligence, inner strength, and empathy, and I’m so grateful that she shared her insights and wisdom with me for the podcast!

We got into some big and important topics, including:

• Brianna’s experience of finding her passion at a young age, forging her own path, and maintaining a strong sense of self while navigating the world of academia

I hope hearing this conversation helps you look at the world a little differently, and that it lights a fire in your soul and brings you closer to creating your own belief system and living more consciously.

Transitioning from one month to the next is a great time to engage with some meaningful self-reflection. If you want to start a monthly ritual that honours the past month and also sets you up for the month to come, or you want to enhance your existing monthly practice, this episode is for you!

Listen in to hear me nerd out over my love for transitions and why I believe monthly rituals can be so powerful. I also share the practice that I do to close out and welcome each month.

Also in the episode, I share a whole bunch of self-reflection prompts and powerful questions to help you add more meaning to your monthly practice. These questions will help you honour whatever you experienced in the past month and invite in all of the energy and possibility of the next month.

I hope this episode helps you discover how to transition from month to month in the most meaningful and fulfilling way to you!
