Go Bucket Yourself

Listen in to hear our most helpful tips, as we approach this holiday season, to create an authentically aligned and simple celebration that will hopefully leave us feeling more of the joy of the season rather than frazzled and exhausted by the new year.

Some of the discussion points in this episode:

• Questions to ask before the season:
  • What matters most to you this holiday season?
  • What memories do you want to have after the holidays?
  • Describe your ideal holiday season.
• Saying no
  • to too much
  • situations/relationships
  • jobs/tasks
  • traditions that no longer serve you
• Manage expectations through clear communication
• Say, "Thank you!" Then...
• Ask for what you want.
• Ask for help.
• The subtle difference between taking and receiving

Listen in to hear more about all of the above and what we're working through personally this time of year to continue celebrating in a way that feels true to us and leaves us with the memories we wish for most.

Today we sit down with Jordan Grumet (aka Doc G) and we cover the makings of a well-lived life and his new book, Taking Stock.

"But when a person is diagnosed with a terminal illness and death goes from a feared possibility to a certainty, something remarkable frequently happens. Often, those self-protective stories about identity, work, and money crumble leaving a person with a great clarity about who they are, what they love, and what really matters."

Listen in today as we chat with Dr. Vic about energy, imagination, and abundant life when we create the right mindset. Dr. Vic guides us through how neuroscience, quantum physics, and spirituality are all pointing to the same solution: what you observe and think about, will create the world around you. Some may call that mystical woo, but in this conversation, it just feels empowering.

Adam Coelho is the host and executive producer of The Mindful FIRE Podcast, a show about creating the life you were meant to live using the tools of mindfulness, financial independence, and envisioning. He’s also a father, husband, speaker, and facilitator. For the last 12 years, Adam has worked at Google where he’s taught mindfulness, envisioning, and emotional intelligence to over 2500 Googlers around the world.

We talk with Adam about cultivating a greater sense of awareness, the gifts it brings to our lives, and using envisioning to build a life that's uniquely aligned to YOU. He discusses a paradigm shift for financial independence that's much more about reprioritizing than retiring early. 

Listen in for so many juicy nuggets to inspire you to create a much more aligned life, today!

Today, we chat about Ayurveda with Andrea Claassen in this episode where she simplifies the concepts of Ayurveda so that we might use them to balance and flow with the seasons of our days, months, and years.

Andrea is an Ayurvedic practitioner, author, and yoga teacher. She’s been working in the wellness industry since 2007 and hosts The Peaceful Power Podcast. Her mission is to help you start to live a cyclical life by living in alignment with your natural flow. Andrea has such a grounded and real energy with so much wisdom to share, and I’ve been trying to find a way that her wisdom could fit into the Go Bucket Yourself podcast. Finally, with our season topic of simplicity, I think we have the perfect opportunity to bring in the lessons she has to share with Ayurveda.

Listen in to hear how this ancient wisdom can help improve your days!
