I have another "Love Letters" podcast episode for you today, perhaps my most vulnerable podcast release yet.

It is meant for those who have or are questioning their religious upbringing. This is something I have personally gone through; I have also witnessed many loved ones and a surprisingly large % of my clients experience in recent years.

So, the "Love Letter" portion comes from personal experience as well as observations of those around me (be it clients, friends, support groups, other family, etc.).  

Tune in to listen to key sharing points and myth-clearing of this episode:  

1. Excerpt from a journal entry.
2. A slice of my Spiritual Expansion/Deconstruction.
3. Lastly, a Love letter to those affected by religion or similar affiliations/ upbringings.

A few myths are also cleared up:

• People oftentimes don’t ASK for their awakenings. 
• People oftentimes WANT to make it work in their religions they were born into.
• People can be trustworthy regardless of religious affiliation
• People have values regardless of religious affiliation.
• Everyone’s journey is unique. There is no one size fits all answer for where all the humans should be. 

Whether you are all in with your religion, half in, in and out, etc, I 100% respect your choice to be where you know you're meant to be. I hope this love letter helps you feel validated, loved, and supported in the questions you’re asking and decisions you’re making. There is space for you to be and exist exactly as you are.

Meet Lindsay:

Today’s conversation is with Lauree Arnold, alumni of my Advanced Relationship Trauma Certification for Coaches. Lauree is a self-mastery & relationship coach that’s done a lot of inner child healing through varying modalities (a few of which are taught in our Adv. Relationship Trauma Certification for Coaches and my new Trauma Informed Coach Certification). During our conversation, we discuss her past and present  relationship with drinking and how it related to relationship with her mom and Self. This queen is 9 months sober! We then talk about healing and developing relationships with your inner child, while holding space/compassion for your parents in the process. Lauree also shares about how she reframed and developed a new understanding of “being bored,” and how trauma-informed work has impacted her style of coaching.

Tune in!

Meet Lindsay:

Join us today as I have my client, Karin, on the podcast to talk about the Barbie movie! If you haven’t seen Barbie yet, just know this episode does contain spoilers. But we talked about Karin’s story, our thoughts about Barbie, the double standards we face as women, the choices that we DO have, and more.  

1. The importance of finding out who you are as an individual outside of relationships.
2. The system of patriarch, and reversing gender roles. 
3. The double-standard so many women are held to today. 
4. Following your intuition to find YOUR path, not the one that was laid out for you by society or those around you. 
5. Bravely choosing to step into the human experience.

Karin helps women move through the grief and trauma of their divorce by reconnecting with themselves, creating lasting emotional resilience and living a truly independent life, so their lives can be even better than when they were married. She’s the host of the Becoming You Again Podcast, where she offers the most support and love for anyone going through a divorce who needs some guidance and a friendly supporter (who understands exactly what they're going through).

Meet Lindsay:

If you identify as a woman, this episode is for you! Today we have special guest Molly Claire—current client in my hybrid-Advanced Relationship Trauma Certification for Coaches. Molly is a Life + Biz Coach and Mentor for purpose-driven women—she uses her visionary skill set to help female coaches make money while making a difference in the world. 
Tune in as we discuss:

• The highlights and lowlights of coaching journeys—and how embracing the 360 human experience can positively impact your business. Yeah, that’s right ya’ll. Being a coach doesn’t absolve you of a human experience and speaking to this matters! ;)
• The truth that you can make as much money—and more—than those who identify as male. 
• How essential it is to support coaches in tuning into who they are to build sustainable, authentic businesses—and holding the belief that it’s possible. 
• The importance of recognizing the intangible impact you have in your business, relationships, and the collective.
• The power of knowing you can earn money, and how this knowing can impact how you advocate for yourself in relationships. 

As a client of my hybrid-Advanced Relationship Trauma Certification for Coaches, Molly benefits from the portal, the 350+ page workbook, the community, the group instructional/somatic/processing and integration calls; along with additional 1:1 processing with me. It’s a great space for entrepreneurs and CEO’s to participate in the healing power of community, while having that 1:1 touch for deeper inner work. This option is normally offered to multiple six-seven figure earners, but it is open to all to apply—especially if you’re looking for a customized fit like this. 
Hope you enjoy as much as I do!

Meet Lindsay:

You’ve heard people talk about the American Dream, along with the checklist path to acquiring it. The specifics are likely a little different for most, but generally, it's some version of getting a degree, advanced degree, great job, great house in a great neighborhood, having kids, and more. But what then? Does it bring the happiness that it promises? What happens when that fairytale dream suddenly falls apart? Where’s the updated checklist for what happens then? That’s what happened to me. 
When I was working two part-time jobs to make ends meet while my partner was non-functioning, I remember thinking; what is this all for?  I barely get to see my children when work is crazy, and I come hope to a house full of never-ending jobs and projects. This is NOT my American Dream. 

In today’s episode I’m sharing how I got to that point, and how I pivoted and moved forward towards a life that I am passionate and excited about--where I no longer get Sunday blues.  The path to moving forward contained things I had to say goodbye to in order to say hello to something better. This includes a farewell to:

• Hustle, grind, repeat culture and the glorification that comes with it. 
• Being robotic in my work
• A 9-5 job
• The belief that you can't have a career you love and earn the money you want. 

Since saying goodbye to that in a way that supports my nervous system, I have been able to open up to so much more Freedom, Peace, Joy, Aliveness, Flexibility with respect to my children, family travel, and more.

Listen in to hear my story of navigating those unforeseen life circumstances and find hope in the fact that if you have the desire to do something different with respect to your career, it's there because it's possible.

Meet Lindsay:

Before you listen, be sure to catch Part 1 on boundary basics. In this episode, your host Lindsay Poelman dives deeper to learn more about origins of hypo vs hyper boundaries. 
You’ll also learn two ways to develop strong and flexible boundaries, embody knowing, and the importance of processing emotions before setting boundaries.  
If you’re struggling with setting boundaries, remember that it is normal for varied reasons. Since birth, our connection to ourselves and our desires has been systematically stripped from us. This episode will provide insight and awareness around some of that and help you practice moving forward in reclaiming your sovereignty.

By the end of this part 1 and part 2 episode series, you’ll understand: 

1.  An easy metaphor for setting boundaries for yourself, 
2.  Boundaries at a deeper level and how conditioning plays into our struggle to maintain them,
3. Why you may have struggled to set boundaries in the past, and 
4. Questions to consider and help you set a boundary.

You’ll get a tiny sample  of my Life Coaching Certification teachings  where Lindsay takes take it even deeper in part 2 (it’s also taught in her Advanced Relationship Trauma Certification for Coaches). 
By the end of this part 1 and part 2 episode series, you’ll understand: 

1.  An easy metaphor for setting boundaries for yourself, 
2.  Boundaries at a deeper level and how conditioning plays into our struggle to maintain them,
3. Why you may have struggled to set boundaries in the past, and
