Listen to:

• discover a simple perspective that'll help you stop feeling like you're "a bottle being slapped here and there on the waves"

Have you ever strived for something that you were certain would be amazing only to be disappointed by how anticlimactic it felt when you got there?

This happens a lot, especially with New Years goals. They tend to become either pressure filled to-do lists or saggy wish lists.

This year, do things differently and set intentions for 2022 that feel aligned.

When you create intentions that are aligned with your best path, it feels open, loving and free. It feels like your life is in EASE & FLOW.

In this episode you'll discover:

• Why traditional goal setting doesn't work
• What do do instead
• Be guided through 3 exercises to intentions for 2022 that are aligned to your best path

Before you leap into the new year with goals, visions and intentions, take the time to REFLECT.

We spend so much time and energy chasing the destination that we often fail to stop and see how far we've come.

But it's only when we are aware of our own transformations that we can reap the nuggets of wisdom that await us.

In this episode, I guide you through 8 reflective questions that will help you receive the wisdom and lessons that this past year has brought you and to let go of what no longer serves you.

It's like clearing the year and tying up all loose ends so that you can move into the New Year refreshed and a little lighter.

In this episode, a reminder that creating, including the manifestation of your desires, is not a linear process. It happens in cycles. There is inner wisdom within you that can guide you to what you want with ease & flow. Forcing, hurrying and overworking is the result of being disconnected from this power within you.

"As human beings, we are not meant to be alone. We are meant to share experiences to help each other with our pains and our celebrations. It's our group experience that allows us to deepen our own personal experiences."

- Anne Cox

You're about to listen to something extraordinary! Instead of the usual interview style, I've collected wisdom from a group of experts to focus a discussion around community and connection…which is something that so many of us desire more of (and can benefit greatly from) in our lives.

The pandemic has created a sense of loneliness, divide and separation. In trying to figure out these uncomfortable feelings for myself, I came to the insight that the opposite of separation is COMMUNITY!

In this episode, a collection of local Calgary YYC studio owners and teachers share with us their wisdom about being in and/or creating community.

Listen to discover:

• How community can help you find your authentic selves and higher purpose

• 3 important questions to ask yourself so that you can find the right kind of community for you

• No man is an island. Both happiness and loneliness deserve to be shared since they are all integral human experiences.

• In the midst of a pandemic, community and connection are helping businesses (like yoga studios) stay strong and afloat

Key Nuggets:

[00: 00- 14:44] Community, Connection and the Loneliness Crisis

[14: 45- 24:52] Seeing Ourselves within Each Other (Anne Cox of YogaMCC)

[24: 53-34: 19 ] Community For Accountability & Strength (Candace Cooke of Yoga Santosha)

[34: 20- 41: 01 ] Checking In With Your People (Kristin Jostad of Yoga Passage)

[41: 02- 50: 42 ] Community as a Healing Space (Kristine Murphy of Pure Hot Yoga)

[50: 43- 51: 50 ] How Do You Want to Feel?

[51: 51- 59:57 ] How do you want to be supported in community? 3 important questions to help you find the right community for you

"[it's about] doing hard things so we can grow into the full creative capacity of our souls" - Simone Grace Seol

In this episode I offer up one question that can help shift your perspective from

hustle --> ease

striving --> living

stress led --> soul led

controlling --> inspired action

It's not really about the money or success. It's about if you get there with acts of fear or acts of creative soul inspired actions.
