Courage to Rise

I spent a lot of years feeling like I had a dark secret: something was wrong with me.

I worried that I was irrevocably broken and that no one had bothered to tell me.

Through my journey I realized the truth: the only thing "wrong" with me was that I thought there was something "wrong" with me. :)

In this episode, I talk about that feeling you may have had that there's something "wrong" with you for whatever it is you're experiencing right now. I also talk about the concept of labels and, as always, WHERE YOUR POWER LIES.

Wait, what??? Yes, yes...you can predict your future and all of the evidence is right here in TODAY. ;)

Your life is the sum of your daily thoughts and choices and your secret to creating your future lies in understanding what those are.

Join me on this amazing roller coaster episode through why learning to regulate your nervous system is a truly revolutionary act.

We touch on:

• Why we're really just monkeys with iPhones...and what to do about it
• Why your system is perceiving threats everywhere
• Why your inner mastery is more critical now than EVER before
• Why it makes you unf*ckwithable
• Why understanding all of these things allows you to reclaim your personal power

In this episode, I break down the real truth about "toxic" gratitude...and how not to let "humans, humaning" rob you of your own personal empowerment.

• what NOT to say to people who experiencing something sh*tty
• how to support people without "bypassing"
• the neuroscience of gratitude
• my "make it weird" practice

I am super passionate about breaking this one down so you can see what's REALLY happening, and how to pull the gift from the BS...I think I also cussed more in this episode than most, but we'll call it "raw, unfiltered passion". nods yes, that.

In a world of A.I., deep fakes, and endless media designed to elicit certain emotions in viewers ...how can we ever know what's "true"?

In this episode, I talk about HOW you know what's true and why your inner inquiry is critically important to learn to trust yourself and your own intution.

Have you ever caught yourself comparing yourself to someone else? Or maybe even a group of someones? Looking at something someone did and judging yourself for not doing as well, or for not having what they have, not being where they are, as successful as they are...the list goes on! If you've ever done it (and haven't we all) and especially if you catch yourself doing it A LOT...then this podcast is just for you *hugs*

In this episode, I talk about the pressure of "purpose" and the illusion of having life "figured out"...as well as what to do instead when you feel that heaviness descend on you. We also briefly explore the book I bought years ago "I'm an English Major - Now What?".

(I always think maybe I'll get away with marking an episode as "clean" rather than "explicit", but somehow...I never do)

Show Notes:

• WELCOME TO SEASON TWO!
• Fallow: An ancient agriculture practice to leave a field unseeded during a growing a season. Objectives are, among others, to recover soil fertility; avoid overexploitation of the land; prepare the soil for future crops; reduce pressure on the soil (ARE YOU SEEING ANY PARALLELS 😂)
• As promised here's the real quote...I got it super wrong but the essence was there. Here's what he actually said: "Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell." ― Edward Abbey, The Journey Home: Some Words in Defense of the American West

In this special episode, I'm sharing with you a powerful Masterclass I taught, "Unleash Your Inner Badass!".

Wherever you are in your life, this will give you the kickstart to expand to your next level. Whether your life is "good" right now but you want GREAT, or your life is "ok" but you feel it could be better - you just aren't sure where to start, or maybe...just maybe... life feels like it's actually in the crapper right now and you just want ANYTHING better than "this"...

I feel you. I get you. I promise you I've been there. And I found my way out of those cycles and into a life that is genuinely full of joy and peace (and a balanced nervous system, but that's a whole other master class). That's why I'm so passionate about the work I do. I walked the road you're on, and I learned the lessons so I could help you have a shorter trip!

Enjoy this Masterclass, and Sparkle On!
