Pain and suffering has been compounded over centuries to result in a magnitude of sadness that is now being unleashed. It is hard to know what the "right" thing to say is as our society faces the unleashing of this sadness. In this episode I do my best to take accountability for my role in other's suffering. I also discuss my understanding (or sometimes lack there of) of others pain, and suggest to you ways to take similar action so we can change the landscape of our world, the way we treat others, and culminate a new history for humanity.

Many of us are paralyzed by our fears. If we can find ways to explore them, get curious about them, then we actually can practice more peace of mind. We are in troubling times, that is fostering a lot of fear. In this episode I describe ways to follow your fear, get curious about your fear, and break free of limitation that fears may propose in your mind. 

This time in our lives is requiring us to be incredibly flexible. We are having to live life in a completely different way. Which means we have to adapt and change, even when we don't want to. I personally hate having to be flexible, because being inflexible I perceive "I can control" or defy "uncertainty". None of this is actually true. In fact, as a human I am more capable of change than in other creature on the planet. So how do when lean into flexibility and allow ourselves to be fully free in the current landscape? Find out on this new episode.

I just recently became a parent and I, like many others, am constantly struck by how all the "unconditional love" cliches and "greatest adventure yet" talk is so true. It really got me thinking that without this brand new form of inspiration in my life, where would I actually be? Perhaps more scared than I already am, or more depressed because of the new reality?

Regardless, she brings so much light to the darkness. Kids have always done this in my life. I wanted to do a podcast on how they are our true heroes of this time. Rolling with the punches, amusing us with how they see the world, and even offer us some internal wisdom from time to time. They are truly powerful beings that we do not always recognize their strength.

Who could use an emotional break? Right? We have all been riding the waves of this crazy time and even those who pride ourselves in the ability to process feelings fall off the wagon sometimes. We are human so this is bound to happen. We get overwhelmed, we reach our limits, and sometimes we just want to give up. Sometimes life is just hard, and it is important for us to know that it ok to avoid, distract and just flat out take a break from our feelings some times. 

I share with you my personal experience this week, of not wanting to podcast and the meltdown that followed. And how reality struck that I too, the emotional powerhouse I am, needed to engage in some healthy distraction. 

Enjoy!

As we all search for a new normal, our emotions have potential to be hijacked. We have spent a significant amount of time feeling uncomfortable, scared, overwhelmed, and on and on, and now more than ever we are craving to feel "happy." Marketing and advertising companies know this. In the coming weeks, they will be using billions of dollars to try to get us to believe that we are "fine." In other words, gaslighting will be alive and well. It would be tragic if we as a society opt to ignore these past two months and how it has effected us, changed us. 

In this episode I feature Prepare for the Ultimate Gaslighting an article by Julio Gambuto. The article can be found here https://forge.medium.com/prepare-for-the-ultimate-gaslighting-6a8ce3f0a0e0 In this article Juilio does an magnificent job of warning us of what is to come. I share his ideas in this episode and offer ideas on why having our feelings of this time hijacked does not lead us to a better world.

Life has been anything but normal lately. At some point we need to decide what our "new normal" is going to look like. As with most change our beings are irritating by having to do such thing and we often gravitate to the life we new before, not the life we have now. We can be empowered around defining this new life if we know how. In this episode I talk about 4 key ways to improve your transition into the new normal. Ways to feel empowered and accepting about what life looks like in the wake of the pandemic. I share my own experiences with defining this in motherhood, business and so on. Enjoy.
