We’ve neglected the topic of "spirit." We’re afraid to offend, to disagree or be at odds with others so we just don’t talk about it….

But it’s the piece that makes us feel alive and connected. 

And the piece that has the power to transport and transform, to change every cell in our body and make our work pop. 

Join us for a conversation to explore that thing that none of us can see but all of us can feel.  Delve into the Mystery of Spirit.

Welcome to Part 2 of our conversation about social media and AI. 

We explore the personal and emotional side of these social platforms, and grapple with big questions, the unknowns, and the rapid pace at which technology with human-like intelligence is headed into our world. Let’s be intentional, aware, and talk about all these changes together.  We’re glad you’re here.

You are likely reading this on your phone... Have you ever stopped to ask: how much do I really want to scroll? how am I engaging with the computers and phones of modern life? Join us as we create space to ask questions about mental health, productivity, the effects on the younger generation, and how being constantly connected actually impedes our wellbeing. 

This is Part 1 of a two-part series examining our relationships with social media, smart phones, AI, and more. We all spend time on these apps, so let’s get intentional.

Have you ever stood in the shower and listened to the constant commentary going on in your mind?  

Becoming aware of and learning to cultivate your inner voice to guide and support you rather than ridicule, criticize, and tear you down is essential to live and work well... yet we never talk about it. 

Transforming this inner dialogue and narrative is foundational work Adriana and Lea do with all their clients, so today on the podcast we dive in to share publicly how each of us can begin increasing awareness, shift neural pathways and nervous system states, and discern the inner wisdom through the felt experience.

If you desire greater support in this process, we’re here to help.

So often our world perpetuates a notion that courage is the big moments of running into a burning building or fighting off the bad guys … but what if it’s not all about bravado? What if courage is actually moment to moment decisions throughout the day to step into the unknown and toward your deepest desire? 

We discuss the essential starting place to cultivate courage, how inner work feeds our ability to be brave, and how to blend willingness with action.

What's the key ingredient (that SO many of us skip) when setting out to create change in our lives or get new results?  Whether it’s a personal goal, health goal or professional goal, taking time to articulate your vision and identify what’s really important to you is the essential first step. We discuss how to ignite the power of your imagination and subconscious mind to cultivate and design your life.

Change is hard enough when you're trying to shift something you don't like….but what’s it like to love something, to really have your heart in it, and leave it anyway.

We talk about what it's like to achieve excellence AND be quitter. We explore how to discover when a professional space is restricting your growth. And how to get clear on what is really important to you and manage the ego, the nervous system, and plenty of other people’s opinions when it’s time to pivot, redirect, or simply leave.

Buckle up!

We dive into the art and science of taking up space, filling the room with our energy, and speaking with confidence. Whether it’s an actual stage, the boardroom, or the bedroom for a 1 on 1 conversation with a partner, speaking authentically brings up jitters and nerves for us all. 

Lea shares the evolutionary basis of our nervous system’s automatic responses in these situations and how the subconscious links we acquire growing up make grounded confidence so challenging. Adriana shares techniques for connecting breath, body, and voice to become a charismatic leader in all the rooms and situations of life and work. 

We dispel the myth of "fake it til you make it." Clarify the difference between pretending and becoming. And share the two parts for effective public speaking and key for resilience when your message is challenged.
