Breaking Up with our Bullsh!t

Episode 93: "Are We Really Putting Out Fires?"

When lots of external things come at us all at once, we can feel out of control and that we have to "put out fires" everywhere in order to be okay. This week, Tawny and JDK wonder aloud if we are setting ourselves up for unnecessary stress by how we label the challenges that happen unexpectedly. What if they weren't "fires" but, instead, were just something that happens as a regular part of life? How does our labeling of things work - and work against us instead of for us?

Episode 92: “Slow Down, Learn Fast”

If “an untrained brain will go negative,” then how can we “train” or brain to better handle our emotional states and reduce our BS stories? The key is, paradoxically, to get into the body first - to slow down in order to learn fast.

Episode 91: “A Ruling On Manipulation”

Tawny and JDK take a close look at our common understanding and beliefs about what is and isn’t manipulation. What they discover and uncover suggests that we all do it, and it comes from the very human place wanting to get our needs met, but without vulnerability and transparency in ourselves and with others. Admitting this opens up an entirely new series of possibilities for us.

Episode 90: No Need to Second Guess

What is really happening in us when we second guess our decisions? When we make choices that don't work out as we'd hoped or expected? In this week's episode, Tawny and JDK posit a different way of understanding ourselves in relation to our choices; how well do they reflect our own values versus someone else's? How well do we welcome struggle into our lives as a normal part of life? To what degree do we fool ourselves into thinking we can control when and where struggle comes? How well do we move with it? Connecting with these questions, by itself, opens up new possibilities for us that don't require us second guessing our pasts.

Episode 89: "I'm Bored" is a BS Story! 

Tawny and JDK discuss how boredom isn't a real feeling; instead, it is more a state of avoidance of whatever is really happening inside us, underneath the BS stories that keep us disconnected from the creativity and curiosity we each can tap into for our own benefit. From a space grounded in our bodies, we can better see beyond the simple "boredom" label and really see what is happening inside us, which will give us a better sense of where and how we are in any given moment. And nothing about that sensibility is boring!

 Episode 88: Wondering About Wondering

What would it be like if we approached things from a place of "wondering" rather than from a more outcome / controlling perspective? Tawny and JDK discuss the power of this perspective and approach in this week's episode, highlighting how the removal of arbitrary agendas from our relationships and in our own lives is one of the most beneficial results a "wondering" focus can provide.

Episode 87: Simplicity Beats Complexity

How often do we make things in our lives more complex than necessary? Why do we do so? And what if we connected more with the reality of simplicity? What might that open up for us? Tawny and JDK tackle these and more questions in this episode, underscoring the power of simplicity to provide more ease, clarity, and resilience in our daily lives.

Episode 86: "The Art of Listening: To Ourselves"

Building off of last week's episode, Tawny and JDK discuss how we can learn to better listen to ourselves - it takes practice of getting into the body and learning to listen to what it tells us. This can help us better discern what is a BS story and what is actually true for ourselves in any given situation. What results from the practice of this can be more acceptance, ease, and flow - and who doesn't want more of those?

Episode 85: "The Art of Listening: To Others"

We all want to "be heard" in our relationships, and we need others in order to be heard! So how do we become better listeners? What does that really mean when we do that from a place of attunement within the body? The results are far different than if we are only hearing from a thinking space. Tawny and JDK dig into these differences and what they produce for ourselves and others when we do our part as listeners.

Episode 84 - The "Flinging Your Poo" Series #10: "Finding 'The One'" 

In the final installment of this special series, Tawny and JDK tackle the huge BS stories involved in - and which stand behind - the myth of finding "the One" person to spend our lives with, are destined to be with, etc. What are the roots of this "need"? How might we be BSing ourselves and avoiding reality? And what would we say if we knew - and experienced - that relationships based in reality are truly the ones that are wonderful?? Take a listen and see what comes up for you!
