January 07, 2025Ep 105: What Can You Actually Control?
We are generally conditioned by society to focus on outcomes, achievements, winning, etc. A major issue with this mindset is how we show up along the way to the finish line and, of course, when we “fail”. Hyper-focus on the outcome tends to create hyper-focus on controlling everyone and everything imaginable along the way. This can cause many problems including stress, misunderstanding, judgment, disappointment, and resentment. In this episode, we discuss the ego’s controlling tendency and the delicate balance between control and faith.
Trying to control an outcome
What do I realistically have control of?
Criticizing others as an avoidance strategy
Subconscious motives underlying control
Control and faith
Life is a faith game
Our controlling nature leads to stress and judgment
Short-term wins with the kids
Trying to control others affects your mood
Improving communication and understanding others
Being aware of what serves you and how you want to show up

In this episode, we discuss nuances around our relationship to focus.
Awareness of distractions
Quality of how you show up
Distinction and balance of forced focus vs. inspired focus
Aligning larger commitments with the focus on specific actions

December 24, 2024Ep 103: Leveling Up On Another Level
What does leveling up look like for you? Improving performance in our fitness, job, business, or romantic relationships is a common goal we are familiar with. But how often do we intentionally level up how we see the world? More specifically, how frequently do we redefine the words we use, question our existing beliefs, or integrate our ego and intuition? Engaging in leveling up our broader picture of life supports success across all areas of our lives, whereas traditional goal setting intends to level up a specific area of life. In this episode, we look at the bigger picture of leveling up in service of the highest integrated version of ourselves.
Who you become on your journey toward goals
How are we feeling about all areas of our life?
What does leveling up mean and look like for you?
Leveling up the definitions of the words we use
Distinguishing ego from intuition
Question everything, especially existing beliefs
Who we are now vs. who we want to be
Balancing logical thinking and dreaming
Shifting from head to heart and intuition

December 17, 2024Ep 102: So You Feel Like An Imposter?
Imposter syndrome is like an annoying head cold that periodically appears in all of us. It often holds us back from becoming the highest versions of ourselves. Fear-based messaging throughout society since our childhood is at the root of it. We weren’t usually rewarded for taking risks, being authentic, and following our hearts. Rather, we were often rewarded for good behavior and conformity and shamed otherwise. What if imposter syndrome was just an indicator for us to check alignment with what and how we are pursuing as a goal? In this episode, we discuss the basic workings of imposter syndrome and perspectives on shifting our relationship to it.
When does imposter syndrome show up?
Comparison vs. judgment
Fake it till you make it
From understanding to embodiment
Misalignment adds to feelings of being an imposter
Importance of committing to the process
Imposter syndrome is inevitable
Defense to stay comfortable
Consequences aren’t inherently bad
Imposter syndrome is an internal indicator

December 10, 2024Ep 101: All Things In Moderation
Moderation applies to much more than an overindulgence of the things we love to consume. Moderation is a key aspect of being human. It shows up, for example, in activity vs. recovery, saving vs. spending, giving vs. taking, etc. We all have a unique ongoing balance that supports the most and least aligned versions of ourselves. However, conditioned beliefs often stimulate confusion, including our comparison with society’s standards. So, how do you define moderation? Does this definition need to change? Where in your life are you showing up with too much or not enough of something? In this episode, we explore the importance of finding this balance within.
Gauging moderation for yourself
Intentionally moderating work vs. rest
Self-awareness of physical and energetic signs
Separating self-judgments from physical and energetic signs
The automatic “I’m good” answer
Everyone’s moderation is different
Comparison with society’s standards
From honesty to making aligned choices
Moderation is an ongoing process
Is your definition of moderation supporting you?

December 03, 2024Ep 100: Observing Reactions
Being able to observe our automatic reactions to people and situations is highly important to understand ourselves. Reactionary feelings are indicators of our conditioned programming. And our reactionary actions are extensions of that programming. Negative reactionary feelings and actions tend to stagnate our growth if we do not see the silver lining. However, there is also a spontaneous beauty in reactionary feelings that arise, as we often see in children. In this episode, we explore various layers of our being as we grow from reactionary to responsive.
Observing reactions in ourselves and others
React vs. Respond
Trying to over-control spontaneous reactions
Hypersensitivity and lack of ownership
Noticing initial reactionary feelings
Owning our reactions and responsibility to understand others’ views
Overreactions and judgment

November 26, 2024Ep 99: I’m Right, You’re Wrong!
We all carry right vs. wrong contexts in all areas of our lives. Problems magnify when we force our right vs. wrong contexts onto others.

In this episode, we explore various perspectives of the right vs. wrong context and distinguish our judgments from simply what is.
The right vs. wrong context
Realization of the trap
The ego’s tendency to cling
The human level of context vs. macro view of what Is
How broad are we looking at the grand scheme of things?
What if there was no right or wrong?
Consequences of daily choices
We were conditioned to have the right answer and behavior
The challenge of starting with a blank canvas
The hypocrisy of attempting to control
Continual evolution of the new right way

November 19, 2024Ep 98: Winter Is Coming
We all have a relationship to the winter season. For many, winter represents the coming of the year-end holidays. The holidays can be stressful times with events, family gatherings, shopping, or a last push to complete goals. Winter tends to bring less daylight and a metabolic slowdown, which may contribute to surfacing feelings of loneliness or sadness. Regardless of our relationship with this season, it is a special opportunity to disrupt conditioned patterns of thought and behavior. The energy of winter facilitates deeper self-reflection if we truly want more clarity. In this episode, we discuss taking advantage of these winter months.
Noticing your conditioning related to winter
Slowing down and getting quieter internally
Grinding through planning and your plans
Noticing your way of being with goals
Specifics are key, even if you don’t buy into the metric
Reflecting on your year and planning for the next
Acknowledging and reflecting on feelings
Time for clarity and getting real
