Am I okay? It’s a simple question, but how often do we take the time to sit with ourselves, and really reflect on the life we’re in. How often do we take the time to slow down enough to ask, am I okay?Most of us live fast paced lives with a high need to succeed. What happens when we reach the pinnacle of what we considered success, and we’re still not satisfied?What happens when we choose to lean into those places that feel uncomfortable? What will we find there?This week on the podcast, we dive deep into those questions with our guest, Jeff Goins. Jeff is a national best selling author, speaker, and a guide to letting your creative work become your life work. Jeff has surpassed many career goals and dreams, and now, he’s asking the question, what about my inner world?

We tackle the topic of identity, and how so many of us find worth and value in the things we externally produce.Jeff’s voice is raw and vulnerable and he invites us into his very process as it’s unfolding. Not only is he someone who can push you into the success of your dreams, he’s also someone who’s willing to face the deeper questions of meaning, purpose, and identity.

Who do you want to become through this?That's a question that @lisaolivera asked her Instagram community recently and truthfully, it's a question that we haven't stopped thinking about.So, on this week's episode, we pulled from some of our favorite inspirational humans on Instagram, and share their words and process some of their wisdom and questions about how we can rest in the unknown and respond to everything happening in the world around us.Coronavirus has been a disruption to everything that we know and experience as normal. It’s stripped many of us of our jobs, our work, our outings, our gatherings. It’s been disorienting and created fear and grief and an entire range of pain. At the same time, it’s been a pause button to many of us — offering us the space to gaze inward at the things that arise in us when life goes unexpectedly. As always — we believe that the greatest transformation in life is found in the questions. As we are all called into a collective question of “what will happen?” and “what’s next?”, we have a great opportunity to allow this time to be one that shapes us, molds us, transforms us, and invites us into transformation.We are sending you love and peace your way, and we mean it when we say, we are all in this together. On this episode- we’ve got wisdom from:Lisa Olivera: @lisaoliveratherapyDr. Anna Roth: @drannarothChristine Owenell: @christineowenell

What would it look like if instead of trying harder, you tried softer? What if what we have been taught to believe, that we have to white-knuckle our way through life, is a lie? One of the greatest journeys we can ever embark on is the journey towards surrender — and that journey begins with laying down the idea that “if only I tried harder, things would work out”.This weeks guest Aundi Kolber tells her very own story of what “trying softer” looks like for her.If you don’t know Aundi, she’s a therapist and the author of Try Softer: A fresh approach to move us out of anxiety, stress, and survival mode — and into a life of connection and joy. Through her own journey of unraveling childhood trauma and coping patterns, Aundi came to find that we don’t have to white-knuckle our way through life.Try Softer, walks us through how our bodies and minds are designed to work together to process our stories and work through obstacles. Through her own personal story, Aundi equips and empowers us to connect us to our truest self and truly live. This is the “try softer” life.When we ask the question of Try Softer, we are faced with a mirror to our own inner world, looking at the very ways we speak to and treat ourselves. In this interview Aundi walks us through ways that she protected herself, and ways that she’s learned to reparent her inner child so that she feel safe enough to live from her authentic self—something we all long for.If you’re someone who is tired because you’ve white-knuckled your way through life, or you’re constantly mad at yourself for not “trying harder” or “doing more” or “being more”, this episode is for you.Also, if you want to learn what it looks like to re-parent your inner child and move through emotions instead of allowing them to get stuck in your body, Aundi is both practical and inspirational in her approach. You can learn more about Aundi and buy her book, Try Softer, at her website: https://aundikolber.com/And you can follow her on Instagram at: @aundikolber
