One of the biggest barriers to us getting the things we really, really want are the mixed messages we send to ourselves. We want it, then we’re not sure we do. We want it again and then we don’t think it will work out. We definitely want it, but then we can’t do it because it’s risky. 

When we want to go in a certain direction, we won’t reach our desired destination this way. Instead, we need to be fully committed and completely in alignment - not shaky or wishy washy. 

The missed messages take different forms - maybe it’s doing a push and pull, making excuses not to take action, or just dipping our toe in. However it manifests, this creates a tangle in our energy system and that keeps us from having any momentum. 

When we fully commit to something and go all in, that’s when we experience the magic of the universe conspiring for us, but it starts with taking our whole selves into the decision. 

If we treat what we want like we deserve it and believe the world is there for us to go after it, that’s when the magic happens! 

How do we use body wisdom to figure out the direction we want to take? How do we fully commit to something? In this episode, we talk about how to find alignment so we can make decisions with less internal friction. 

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

-Make what’s going on in your mind real 

How do we use movement to role play walking in each direction towards the thing we want or don’t want?

-Thank you for self-selecting 

The safest place to get feedback is from people who are in alignment themselves. How do we identify who is in integrity and who definitely isn’t? 

-Recognize your inner yes and no

In our early years, we’re taught that our own experience doesn’t matter so we lose trust in what we’re experiencing. Why does that make it hard for us to know what we really want?

If there’s anything our culture likes to collectively ignore, resist and hide, it's aging. And yet, aging happens to every single one of us - whether it’s aging parents, aging partners or aging selves, we all have an experience with it. 

With age comes the opportunity for nourishment and deeper learning, but aging also comes with some unpleasant emotions and experiences. 

Cognitive and physical decline and even loss are all parts of the process of getting older. How do we learn to treat these things as a learning adventure? How do we deal with loved ones becoming shadows of their former selves? 

Instead of resisting the things that come with aging, embracing them makes life richer. The skill of learning to be with unpleasant experiences and emotions is one we can learn at any point in our lives, and it certainly comes in handy when we’re getting older. 

How do we build this skill? What are the gifts of aging? In this episode, we’re joined by couples therapist, relationship coach, author, speaker, college professor, trainer, and founding teacher of the Getting Real work, Dr. Susan Campbell. She shares how we can be more prepared for unwanted changes and why that can be an enriching experience. 

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

-Use everything that happens for learning

When it comes to aging, most people want to resist or ignore what happens. Why do we need to allow what is to be there?

-The loop of awareness

Unpleasant interactions don’t just throw you out of connection with your loved one, they also affect your connection with yourself. How do you find yourself again?

-Embrace, don’t erase

How do we approach the aging population? How do we avoid making assumptions about their reality?

In improv and in life, “yes, and..” are two words that allow us to receive what’s coming at us, integrate it and add to it in our own way. “Yes, and” has its own flipside which completely kills all play, wonder and joy, and it’s known as “yeah, but”.

When people say “yeah but” when something happens, it makes them protect, contract and move away, instead of coming forward and connecting.

Here’s the thing: life will always unfold in a spontaneous way and we can’t control what comes up.

Adopting a “yes, and..” attitude allows us to be in harmony with life’s twists and turns, and it makes everything more joyful.

If we stick with a “yeah, but” attitude, we’ll never get to experience the expansion and wonder of curiosity. Why do people say “yeah but”? How do we shift into curiosity?

In this episode, we talk about the difference between “yes, and” and “yeah, but”, and how to align ourselves with the energy of wonder. 

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

-From criticism to curiosity 

If you grew up pickled in criticism and negativity, it’s really easy to become a “yeah, but” person. How do you shift into a “yes, and” attitude?

-Receive integrate and respond

How do we stop protecting, contracting and disconnecting and start expanding, coming forward and connecting? 

-Find harmony between form and aliveness 

In life, we need both free flow and structure. How do we build a bridge between the two?

Anytime we head into the unknown and want to break past a limit, a question arises inside of us, “is it safe for me to be this big out in the world?”

That’s because if we want something bigger, our ceiling has to rise to encompass that thing and that can be scary. Sometimes we’ll expand into that bigger thing but then shrink back into our familiar shells.

If we don’t make our presence bigger than our fear, this process will keep repeating itself.

What if, instead of expanding and contracting - we could expand and integrate at a new level? That’s where flow comes into play - it’s a way for us to expand our capacity for bigger things with curiosity, instead of contracting ourselves back into the known.

Like a dance where we don’t quite know the routine, the key is to move so that the next step emerges from the flow.

How do we integrate to a new level and not sabotage ourselves? How do we reduce our fear when we’re stepping into the unknown? In this episode, we talk about how to accompany yourself to the next level.

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

-Find safety in integration not contraction 

When we’re faced with the unknown, we can either contract or expand into it. How do we leap into the latter without fear?

-Turn towards what’s wanting to happen 

When we’re in the flow (not the fear) of the unknown, life becomes a free form dance. Why do we have to let go in order to find the next step? 

-It’s as easy as saying “tell me more”

When we stay in conversation with others, it opens up the flow. How do we learn to go into unknown situations with curiosity instead of contraction?

One of the unfortunate truths about our society is that we’re more divided, vitriolic and operating from fear than ever before. 

When we look at how people interact, there’s no civility and mutual respect anymore. There’s this huge collective tantrum and so much anger in people and it’s completely polarized the culture. 

This is especially highlighted in the political sphere. From local government to the national stage, there’s more division, more contempt than collaboration, and that was never the original intent. 

At its very basic level, government is about creating harmony and equity in society, but that’s not happening anymore. How did we get here? How do we find peace in the midst of such vitriolic polarity? 

In episode, former mayor of Ojai, California, Betsy Stix joins us to talk about leading in these contempt-filled times, and how she maintained equanimity in inflamed situations. 

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

-A powerful impetus 

How did The Big Leap lead Betsy Stix into local government?

-The source of our separation 

The amount of conflict and polarity we’re seeing in our world feels unprecedented. How did we get here? 

-React, disengage or rise above

In these times of high conflict, it’s really easy to get hijacked by fear. How do we redirect towards love? 

-Back to breath

How do we use our breath to create safety for ourselves when there’s chaos all around us?

Guest Bio

Betsy is a lifelong teacher of human development, yoga, English, and French and former mayor of Ojai, California. After teaching for decades, she decided to run for mayor in 2020 during COVID, after reading Gay Hendricks’ “The Big Leap” and learning that the city council was slow to enact environmental and social justice policy.  She canvased the town of 7,500 people in a mask and won 64% of the vote!  And she won again in 2022 when she ran against actor Anson Williams. During her tenure, the Ojai City Council passed rent stabilization/tenant protection, a greenhouse gas emission reduction code, approved truly low income housing while developing better solutions for the unhoused, passed animal protection ordinances celebrated by PETA, improved the city’s plastic and tree ordinances, flew the Pride Flag for the first time, and founded the Mayor’s Youth Council. She is proud to have run two 100% positive campaigns and championed emotional and spiritual intelligence while moving the ball forward for progressive issues.  She was so grateful to have been able to depend upon her yoga practices and experience teaching children and young people as well as the teachings of Katie Hendricks and Marianne Williamson to support her during her time in office.  She looks forward to continuing to serve her community and the planet.

What’s the cure for fear? Fearlessness? Avoidance? Rationalization? The answer is…none of the above. Fear is something we all experience, and even though it dresses itself up as different things (anger, diminishing or attacking ourselves), the same thing happens. 

When we’re afraid, we make an enemy of everyone - even ourselves. We become internally gridlocked so we can’t problem-solve. We fall into whatever reactive pattern we learned early on to cope with our fears. 

Thankfully, there is a better remedy which we all possess. The only true solution for fear is presence. We have to locate ourselves within the fear and move it through our bodies with something as simple as wiggling the body a bit. 

What are some simple fear-melters that will allow us to not be ruled by fear? How do we create even the tiniest doorway to presence? In this episode, we talk about simple but profound tools for shifting from fear into flow. 

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

-How fear works

Why does fear incapacitate us internally and why do we get so tripped up when we’re afraid?

-From gridlocked to “goldfish”

Fear has a way of internally incapacitating us. What simple exercises can we use to interrupt this pattern? 

-How to befriend yourself through fear

When we are fearful, we tend to abandon ourselves and disconnect from others. How do we use presence to be softer towards ourselves and create doorways to connection?

When it comes to transforming and healing our bodies, our culture is heavily fixated on quick fix inputs. Food, supplements, gummies, trading your coffee for that trendy new herbal tea, eating more protein, trying the latest sugar alternative…the works. 

People do just about everything to improve their health via what they put into their bodies, and it doesn’t work. Why? Because they don’t take the time to examine the environment they’re putting those things into. 

If your internal terrain is broken, clogged up, inflamed, contaminated and compromised, no amount of optimization or miracle ingredient will work. People are walking around with stored up toxic waste and debris in their bodies, and it affects them physically, spiritually and emotionally. 

In order to truly transform, we need to detoxify before we try anything else. How do we begin to detoxify a body clogged with debris? How do we start experiencing our birthright aliveness?

In this episode, we’re joined by Holistic Health and Detoxification Coach, Meghan Swidler. She shares why all healing begins with an unclogged internal terrain, and how we make it happen. 

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

-Symptoms are a miracle 

When you have a detached relationship with your body, it’s really easy to ignore all the ways it’s telling you something is wrong. How do you know your body desperately needs a detox?

-Clarity inside, elevation outside 

For so many people detoxifying their bodies creates a cascade of breakthroughs, miracles and opportunities in other areas of their lives. Why does this happen? 

-Cleansing is a process not an event

In this instant gratification culture, we might expect internal cleansing to be instantaneous. Why does it often get worse before it gets better?

“I had no choice”, “this is how it has to be”, and “it is what it is” - for some people these aren’t just statements, these are the basis of their entire reality. 

Rather than seeing themselves as architects with a wealth of choices to shape their lives, they feel resigned to the idea that things are fixed just as they are. No alternatives and no changes.  

This way of thinking goes back to the same place: the old stories we run in our minds become the cages that limit our own lives. It’s like we’re sitting in a container that shrinks our possibilities, but we can open the door anytime we want. 

In any given situation, there are many possible choices but if our field of view is limited, we’ll never allow ourselves to see them. The result? We give our power away to the external world, and feel oppressed by the misery of seemingly being choiceless. 

How do we learn to shift out of all these stories, and truly tap into our creative engine that gives us hundreds of choices? How do we see endless possibilities where others see limited options? 

In this episode, we talk about how to stop limiting yourself and believing you have no choices. 

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

-Be Response-ABLE

People limit their own choices because of fear. How do you reclaim responsibility and start to see all the other options that are available to you? 

-Activate curiosity and wonder 

How do we identify the old stories that are making us feel choiceless, how do we change the framework?

-Make a new choice

Let’s admit it: old stories are comforting because they are familiar, not because they are helpful. How do we create a new context around curiosity and choices?

Are we mass, energy or space? That’s the question many have pondered time and time again. The answer: we’re all 3 at the same time. 

We are not just bodies of mass, though we feel the weight of our flesh, the solidity of our bones. Beneath this, there is a huge symphonic panorama inside of us, and when we tap into it, we can experience true healing and freedom. Often we focus on the mass aspect of existence, but the energetic aspect has a lot more power. 

The ever-shifting flow of energy that rises and falls within us expresses itself as emotion, movement, and sensation. The rush of excitement, the pang of sorrow, the heaviness of grief—these are all movements of energy that can shape our physical experience.

Beyond the mass of our bodies and the energy within, there is space. When we tap into that space, we find a sense of peace, a realization that we are not just our thoughts or emotions, but something much greater. How do we access space and energy? How do we stop identifying with the fluctuations of energy and start identifying with the space that holds it? 

In this episode, we’re joined by Gay Hendricks to talk about the power of mass, energy, and space, and how to stop living from the surface, but from the deeper, expansive place within us. 

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

- Getting unstuck from your body traumas 

The mass that is our body is a repository of personal and generational grief and trauma. How does energy and space heal all of these things?  

- From repression to release

We all possess within us an energy that flows freely. What are some of the things that compress this energy or misuse it?

- Learn to be with fear

One way humans do away with fear is trying to control everything. Why is letting go of control a necessary step to tapping into the expansive space with us?

The energy of connection knows no limitations. It has the ability to shift us from tired to fully engaged in seconds. It creates a magical space of discovery and joy where there was none.

It also creates aliveness, and a limitless resource of energy that regenerates constantly.

How do we find this energy for ourselves and tap into it? Accessing the energy of connection starts with a willingness, not a will. When we will ourselves to do something we’re forcing the energy, and that won’t create connection or engagement. Willingness, on the other hand, is a soft step into something beautiful, not a hard charge towards it. 

This creates a path to connection and a portal to curiosity that will effortlessly keep us energized, even if we felt tired before. In this space, energy can be shared and radiated out beautifully. 

How do we learn to generate energy? How do we step into the unknown rather than the familiar (and miserable)? In this episode, we talk about how to create the energy of connection. 

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

-Fatigue vs. fear 

Sometimes the reason we feel tired is because we’re actually afraid, and that fear is making us flee out of our bodies. How do we tell the difference between fear and a genuine lack of energy? 

-Willingness and will are not the same thing 

It’s hard to fully say yes, when it feels a bit like a no. When we’re not all in on something, how do we make a decision about what we want to do?

-Make one new choice

Giving energy creates more energy. If it feels like we’re lacking energy, how can we generate it by doing one small thing?
