Find Yourself, Change Your Life

Are you ending your days dropping into bed completely spent or do you feel reasonably good about how you showed up?

That gap tells you a lot about your energy management.

In this episode of the Summer of the Self series, we’re talking about energy… what it means to pay attention to it, what happens when you ignore it, and a simple tool called energy dollars that gives you a practical way to audit how you’re using yours.

The premise: you start each day with a certain number of energy dollars. Some activities spend them. Some give them back. Most of us have never looked at which is which and whether we’re consistently running in the negative.

I’m sharing my own story from my corporate years when I was not paying attention to my energy at all… I just pushed through over and over.

This week’s tool: take a look at what drains you, what fuels you, and how many of each you’re doing each day.

Do you ever notice the same emotion coming up again and again? Frustration at the same time every day, resentment in the same situations, or anger that keeps returning?

That emotion is trying to tell you something.

In this episode of the Summer of the Self series, we’re looking at emotions as messengers… not something to suppress or react to, but signals to get curious about. What’s underneath the emotion? How are you not being resourced enough right now? And how might you be playing a role in the story?

I’m sharing a real example from my own home plus an introduction to Dahn Jon tapping. This is a practice for releasing emotions that are stored in your body, rooted in the “water up, fire down” concept. I use it regularly myself and share it with clients all the time.

Your invitation this week: when an emotion keeps showing up, get curious instead of reactive.

Have you ever gone from feeling fine to completely burned out and not seen it coming?

That’s what happens when we skip the yellow light.

In this episode of the Summer of the Self series, we’re talking about trusting your body… how to read its signals before things reach red alert, and what to do when you’ve been running on noise for so long you can’t hear yourself anymore.

I’m sharing three simple tools: the traffic light check-in, box breathing as the fastest free way to settle your nervous system and a body scan practice to start actually listening to what your body is telling you.

Plus a real example from my own life of what happens when you have too many things on and don’t catch yourself in time.

This week’s invitation: how good are you at trusting your body right now?

Do you have a “not good enough” voice? Most of us do and most of us spend a lot more time listening to it than questioning it.

In this episode of the Summer of the Self series, we’re looking at one of the most common ways the mind keeps us stuck: the story of not good enough. Where it came from, why it isn’t the whole truth, and what to do when you catch yourself in it.

I’m sharing a simple tool called The Truth Is, a journaling and reflection activity that invites you to look at the other side of the story. Not to ignore the negative, but to build the habit of also seeing what’s actually true about you and what you’ve already accomplished.

Because most of us are much better at noticing what we haven’t done than celebrating what we have and that imbalance is worth looking at.

This week’s invitation: name your story, then ask yourself… what is another truth?

Mother. Leader. Partner. Colleague. Caregiver. Friend.

How many roles are you playing right now and when did you last check in on the person underneath all of them?

In this episode of the Summer of the Self series, we’re exploring one of the biggest questions in any personal growth journey: who am I really?

It’s easy to lose yourself in the roles you play. The identity of parent, the identity of leader, the identity of whatever role has felt most important lately and then one day you look up and ask: is this the life I really planned? Is this what I actually want?

I’m sharing how conditioning shapes the roles we develop, why it’s so easy to mistake a role for your whole identity (especially as a parent), and two simple tools for self discovery.

Plus this week’s reflection prompts:

• What are the roles you play in your life?
• Who are you separate from these roles?

Have you ever stopped and asked yourself: is this actually me, or was I taught this?

Most of what we believe about ourselves including what we deserve, how we’re supposed to act, what’s possible for us, etc…  didn’t come from us. It came from family, school, workplaces, society, and a thousand small moments where we absorbed other people’s expectations without realizing it.

It’s called conditioning. And in this episode, the second in the Summer of the Self series, we’re looking at where it comes from and how to start spotting it in your own life.

From money beliefs passed down from parents, to workplace rules about emotions, to the pervasive idea that taking time for yourself as a mother is selfish, conditioning is everywhere. The good news is that awareness is the first step to moving beyond it.

This week’s reflection prompt: pick one belief you’ve been carrying for a long time and ask yourself… where did it actually come from? Does it still serve you?

Have you ever looked at your life and thought… this all looks great on paper, but something isn’t quite right?

That feeling of having checked all the boxes, done all the things, and still feeling a disconnect inside is something a lot of us experience. We just don’t always have the words for it. And we usually don’t know how to handle it either.

This episode kicks off the Summer of the Self.

A new series of short, reflective episodes designed to help you come back to you. 

In this first episode I’m sharing two stories from my own life where I found myself exactly here along with a reflection prompt to ge you started on the next step of your journey.

Why does one child wake up ready to go while the other needs the whole morning to ease in? Why does your partner have already run three errands before you’ve finished your first cup of tea?
It might not be personality. It might be your energy type.
In this episode I’m talking about family dynamics through the lens of Human Design energy types and what changes when you stop expecting everyone in your household to operate the same way you do.
I’m sharing real examples from my own family of four (two energy types, four very different Saturday mornings), including what it looks like to have one sacral-defined child and one non-sacral child, and why understanding that difference has changed how we plan vacations, weekends, and pretty much everything else.
If you’ve ever felt frustrated that someone in your house doesn’t operate on your schedule — or that you’re always the one who needs more rest — this episode will give you a new way to look at it.

Have you ever had something happen that felt like too much of a coincidence to be a coincidence?

This episode is a little different. I’m sharing the side of mind-body connection work that doesn’t always get talked about… what happens when you go deeper. When you start noticing synchronicities. When your intuition gets louder. When you feel, maybe for the first time, like you’re part of something bigger.

I’m sharing personal stories… hearing voices in the night that turned out to be no one, seeing my grandfather’s ghost as a teenager, a trip to the south of France that left me completely changed, and what all of it has taught me about the connection between the physical world and the energetic one.

We are layered, complex beings. If you feel practical AND believe in synchronicities, this episode is for you.

Ever wonder what a real Human Design reading looks like?

This episode is something I’ve never done before on the show… a live Human Design reading with my friend and book editor, Chelsea Lauren.

Chelsea is a first-time mom, self-publishing guide, and someone who’s been deconditioning from years of morphing into whoever she thought people wanted her to be. 

We’re diving into her chart to talk about what it means to be a projector (the lighthouse energy that’s always scanning and taking in information), why she’s heard “I don’t need a solution, I just want to vent” so many times, and how rest isn’t giving up control… it’s trusting.

This conversation is for anyone who’s ever wondered: 

Is there a reason I operate this way? 

Why do I feel bitter when people don’t see me? 

Why do I need alone time AND people?

Even if you’re not a projector, you’ll see how Human Design helps you understand your energy patterns instead of fighting them.
