Jimmy came home for Christmas, and I had him as a special guest on my podcast. We introduce him as a human being, and we talk shit. Enjoy. 

The path of least resistance might sought like a great path to take most likely because we don't have to feel the awkward feelings and deal with them, but what does that do to you over time? How does that affect your self esteem? There's a huge cost to taking the path of least resistance, and I'll go over that in today's episode. 

Announcements: I am committed to creating Breathing Room. 

Breathing Room is a virtual experience that you can attend in the comfort of your own home. It's a brave space for folx looking to deepen their practice of courage and thus cultivating more confidence in their lives. Breathing room will combine breathwork practices -- new and old, with movement and sound. Tapping into the resource of your breath, we'll shift the thoughts, emotions, and feelings in an environment of loving kindness and care for one another. 

Breathing room is something we could all use in relationships to respond rather than react. It's something that we can all benefit from to expand together -- to love to and from the CORE.

Stories can be healing in community 

Stories help us relate with one another creating deeper connections

Stories can also be detrimental when we are healing

Stories told over and over reinforce and program/condition us to believe

Beliefs can be a set of stories that are true or untrue

You can believe in a story that is not true and act in accordance with it

Questioning and noticing create an atmosphere that allows us to be open and caring and kind

Ask yourself what kind of story you've been telling about your life?

What is the deepest, darkest, story that you have about yourself?

What story would you like to be remembered by? 

An exercise you can do is write your obituary (if that doesn't trigger you too much). 

As women, we may have learned that having needs made us needy, dependent and out right unsexy. Maybe we've been told that we're too much, and so we learn to disown our needs and self abandon over time. A lot of people tend to do this to stay in connection with others.

I discuss the importance of personal responsibility and ownership in relationships, how that impacts our lives, sets up the foundation for a great relationship, and creates a culture of safety in our world. I give you tips on how you can start taking responsibility in your relationships, and I would love to hear from you about how this changed your life! Send me a love letter to let me know how it works out!

In this episode, I talk about how scary conflict can be, and also explore how conflict isn't actually that scary. I talk about video games and how we can take a more video-game like approach to conflict. My mission has been to heal the world by raising consciousness in our love and relationships so that we can create a mega ripple of conscious love. If anyone is ready to make an impact in their relationships and wants to know what working with me looks like, I'm inviting you to a powerful coaching conversation. I'm booking Breakthrough Sessions for anyone who'd like to experience what coaching looks and feels like, and there is absolutely no obligation. Here's the link to book you session!
