In this episode, I talk all about how the ego loves to look to the external world for answers, validation and approval. 

This pattern of thought surfaces in the way we:

• Find ourselves in the perfectionism trap
• Compare ourselves to others
• Seek approval from others 
• Become self-conscious 
• Take advice without question
• Form attachments to material things for comfort

Announcement: I am pausing my podcast for the summer to spend some time connecting with myself, prioritizing my family, and working on some creative projects that have taken the back seat for a while. Thank you to all of you who join me for every episode. I totally dig your support. You guys are the best. I’ll be back at it in the fall - I can’t wait to see you then!

In this episode, we talk about how there are two major parts to manifesting

1. Calling in the life you want
2. Removing subconscious blocks that prevent you from getting it

While many sources will focus on techniques that address the former, the second part (which is equally as important) is often overlooked. 

I also discuss several different methods to add to your manifesting practice:

1. Start in gratitude
2. Use language and affirmations
3. Surround yourself with positive influences
4. The power of writing
5. Surrender

In this episode, I talk about what manifesting really is. There are components that are “magical”, but it’s way more practical than we’re led to believe.

Manifesting is really just bringing things into existence, which is explained in one of two ways 

1. You change your focus (you notice more of what’s good that already exists in your life)
2. You change your actual reality (either you can do it or the Universe can set you up)

I talk a tiny bit about quantum physics (on which much of this is based)

But more importantly, I highlight the importance of becoming your own source of joy. When you stop needing things from your external environment, then that’s when you’re free to be.

In this episode, I talk about the prevailing schools of thought around body image. The first one is that we need to strong arm our bodies into being the body we see on TV (diet culture). The second is that we need to love our bodies just the way they are (body positivity). 

The problem with both of these is that they can be seen as two sides of the same coin. Both leave us looking to the outside world, wondering "how". Everyone has their opinion on what diet is right for everyone (spoiler alert: there's no one size fits all). And body positivity culture leaves us asking, "How do I love my body when deep down, I really don't?"

I address 3 things that we can do to show our bodies love and arrive at the middle ground between these two extremes.

1. Set boundaries with your body
2. Respect and listen to your body
3. Establish how you want to feel about your body and use that as a guidepost when your plans don't work for you anymore.

In this episode, we talk all about the inner victim.

Your inner victim is the part of you that says, "it's not my fault", while blaming someone or something else for being in a disadvantaged state. While your inner victim makes you feel better for a moment, ultimately this is a story that will keep you powerless and stuck. 

You can learn to identify when you're in a victim story by the common character traits of all inner victims by the phases the victim uses, both of which are covered in this episode. 

The inner victim has lessons for us: empower yourself, keep good boundaries, and make your pain into your purpose. With these lessons, we can learn that it is safe to move out of the victim state and become more of our authentic selves.

In this episode, I discuss what this podcast will be all about and why I decided to start this podcast. We all have stories that we tell ourselves that prevent us from living out the life that we really want. They are stories like, "I'm not good enough", "what will they think", "I don't deserve", "I'm not capable". They are stories that are rooted in anxiety, guilt, shame, fear, and comparison. They are subtle and only barely detectable. When we believe these stories, they keep us stuck in the past and prevent us from creating the life we want and living out our soul's purpose.

I also cover:

• My background and experience with these stories 
• Why we need to start calling these stories out
• What many of these stories are like
• How subconscious programming is written and how it plays into our limiting stories
• Why your subconscious program isn't the authentic you
• How stress will keep us looping in a subconscious program
