So you’re feeling better and better, and your vision is getting clearer when you talk to a family member who’s still stuck in ways you know well. You want to tell them all about what you’ve been doing but you’re hesitant to - how will they receive it? What will they think? Will they really take the advice? 

I’ve been asked this question from so many of my students, especially when they’ve just begun to really get into a meditation practice and are feeling the amazing effects and want everyone they’re close to in their life to experience the same that I decided to record a podcast episode on it. 

Today I’m taking you through four steps to do whenever you want to change, fix, or help those around you when you see them struggling in ways you know your own personal development could help them. 

I not only share ways to help them, but how to turn this very subject into a self-development tool for you to get to know yourself and grow even more.

It’s been almost seven years since my dad passed away, and while I’ve grown so much in my grief, developed a connection to him since, and live by the greatest lesson the whole experience taught me, the feeling of grief can and still hits me like a ton of bricks in moments. 

We tend to not talk about grief, about the hard moments of it, or share that it’s normal to still miss someone seven years later. As I was feeling this deeply one morning, I felt the urge to share my experience with it, and six guideposts for grieving that I’ve accumulated on this journey. 

I see grief in a new way now and as a result I’m immensely grateful for it’s presence, for it is also a connection I get to have with my dad. 

Take a listen to hear my real experience, what grief feels like, my take on how to move through it (rather than suppressing it), and what might be possible on the other side.

Have you ever written off one area of your life that you might secretly want to pursue? 

Maybe you've always dreamed of playing the piano, but weren't very good in music class at school. 

Maybe you've been curious to do more in your career but you struggle with procrastination or time management. 

For me, I often came in last and on the verge of tears at the one mile run test at school, and because of the pain of the whole experience I never thought I had any business in running. 

Yet inside, I secretly longed to know what it felt like to be a runner. By following the steps I share in today's episode, I not only discovered that I was wrong when I believed myself to be forever terrible and slow at running, but I am capable of so much more than I ever dared to dream. 

What if what holds us back from achieving our dreams aren't the circumstances we're in, the bad experiences we've had in the past, or even our own limiting habits - what if we just never gave ourselves a valid chance by meeting ourselves exactly where we are and moving forward one step at a time?

Have you ever said no to something that deep down you knew you really needed to say no to? Maybe in an effort to avoid having to say no you quickly agree, wanting to avoid confrontation, or worrying about letting someone down. But the hard truth is that for every yes, there is also a no. If you say yes to someone else, you are simultaneously saying no to yourself. In today's podcast episode I share all about how you can stop creating resentment, exhaustion, and burnout, so that you can welcome in what matters most to you and thrive in your daily life.

Learn how to cultivate joy and fulfillment by doing the inner work and what that exactly entails from a therapist and yoga teacher turned self-development and business coach, Pam Godbois. 

I’ve always been fascinated by the power of leaning into the tough moments, discomfort and coming out the other side can bring us to places we never dared to imagine. I dig deep with Pam in today’s conversation to discover how she’s created resilience in her life and business and what doors that has opened up for her. 

In our conversation, you’ll hear Pam and I discuss: 

• How Pam practiced resilience during an intense moment of her life and now sees how it brought her to exactly where she needs to be
• Tips on how to do the inner work in a way that brings you towards your desires
• What manifesting abundance looks like from a science, mindset, and energetic perspective

Get ready to lean into Pam's story and learn a ton along the way.

When you're working so hard to reach your goals, maintain an amazing new habit, or attract your desires and then something happens that makes it all feel impossible, it can be so hard to imagine that you'll ever get to where you want to be. All progress feels lost. Your goals feel more out of reach than ever. And internally, you wonder if it's just not meant for you. 

This is NOT the time to give up, my friend. Instead, it's time to shift your perspective and start to see this roadblock as the exact obstacle you need to create the life you're after. In today's episode, I break down how I did this recently with a running injury and how you can apply these same questions to any situation that feels crushing and turn it into the greatest part of your story.

As a painfully shy kid, I grew up thinking I was an introvert and that meant that I was a shy person (and I couldn't do anything about it). What I discovered years later, is that the definition of an introvert doesn't have anything to do with being shy. Not only that, I healed the quality of shyness through my wellness practices, allowing me to embrace introversion for my wellbeing.

In today's episode, I explore the differences between being an introvert like myself, and an extrovert (like my husband), and why knowing this information may help you connect with yourself and thrive in your relationships and in your life.
