Handling disappointment - well - in relationships is a skill you learn with practice. We often try to avoid disappointment and yet what we do is only postpone dealing with the feelings and often complicate them at the same time. In this episode, you'll explore the words disappointment, expectation, faith, trust, and boundaries, perhaps in new ways that will elevate your ability to handle your own disappointments better and more directly. The aha moment of the show was midway when the encapsulated message became - "Be clear in what you want, be on the lookout for it, identify it when it's there without expecting others to be something that they aren't." 

Journaling prompts are suggested to further your exploration.

Do you have relationships in which you feel known and understood? Do you have safe people with whom you can share your deepest truth? Trusting relationships are often the bedrock of a fulfilling and heartfelt life and most certainly of experiencing fulfilling connection.

Knowing how important this aspect of life is, how do you build trusting relationships? There are specific elements that create trusting relationships that many won't take the time to explore or learn, and will feel disappointed in the relationships they experience. In this episode you'll hear about many of those specific elements and how to begin cultivating those in your own life.

Why does authentic connection matter? Because we live in a world where a growing epidemic is loneliness. The remedy for this epidemic will come through experiencing authentic and more intimate connection both within oneself and with others in your life. We all long for belonging, love and connection and yet it's as if we've lost our ability to engage these qualities of connection in our own lives. This episode invites the listener to uplift and up level their life quality through learning how to engage in and grow more authentic connection.

Feeling rooted to the Earth, grounded and present, and centered in your whole being allows you to connect more fully with others as well as with the natural power in your whole being. When we chronically live through our minds and in our heads, we often feel disconnected from our bodies and the wisdom, connection, and power latent in the lower parts of our being. In this meditation, the focus is on breath work and imagery to bring your attention and energy into the lower part of your body to encourage feeling more rooted, grounded and centered both in your body and on the Earth. You might use this meditation to help you expand your awareness to be able to attend to both what's happening within you as well as around you.

Meditation can be a time to move beyond your thoughts, to still the thinking mind. One of the ways to accomplish this is to bring your full attention to your senses, to the sensations in your body and into the power you have to direct your attention within to elicit specific sensations. Listen in to this 8-minute meditation to relieve yourself of your thoughts and return to your deeper inner world.

Your inner critic can latch onto aspects of your life that you don't like, ways that you've showed up in the past that felt troubled, things you've said that you don't feel good about, anything that can be used as a source of self-disappointment, and create repetitive criticisms that become inner self-talk that are the self-created limitations to finding happiness and contentment.

In this episode you are invited to consider how to paradoxically befriend your inner critic in order to use it as an information provider of what you want to create your fulfilled and beautiful life as well as the ways you've been conditioned to believe what's important before your grow-up self could make those important decisions.

Do you worry about fitting in? Maybe you have a deep desire to belong to a group or a community, a couplehood, or a family. Your "need" for this may come from not feeling like you fit in with your family of origin, or maybe you didn't feel like you found your "group" of peers when you were growing up. 

As this podcast begins its third season, the focus of the first month invites you to consider how connected you are to your inner guidance versus feeling driven by outside influences. In this episode the cohosts offer you the permission to “not fit in”. This permission is all about letting go of that need to fit in for a time as you reconnect with your essential inner guidance (inner GPS).

What is your inner GPS? That answer, along with how to do the work of reconnecting with the inner guidance that can lead you to your heartfelt and fulfilling life, are explored in this episode.
