In this episode of INNER WORK, I respond to a listener email about how to heal after experiencing cheating in a relationship. I use this as a jumping-off point to address many different experiences of betrayal - within families, in friendships, in romantic partnerships - and how we can begin to heal the aftereffects of betrayal. Please be kind and compassionate with yourself as you listen to this episode, and allow yourself to gently feel anything that comes up for you. Please know that healing is always possible. I want to extend my deepest gratitude to Amber for writing in and asking this vulnerable question.

How comfortable are you with uncertainty, like when you don’t know how something is going to turn out? When you have to wait to find out the outcome of something in your life? Or when you set out on an unknown path, without being able to see where it’s going to lead you? Many of us have a limited tolerance for uncertainty. We might experience uncertainty as a threat, as something we need to fix or avoid at all costs. For me, uncertainty and being in a state of not knowing have often felt deeply uncomfortable (along with some other anxiety patterns I’ve experienced in this lifetime). We’re all on a continuum of how much uncertainty we can tolerate before we start experiencing inner tension, discomfort, and stress. (Along with a strong need to resolve the uncertainty.) If you’re like me, you might have an inner part of you who we might call the “reassurance seeker.” This is the part of us that doesn’t know how to sit with uncertainty, that wants to know everything in advance, that might over-prepare for things and/or seek reassurance or validation from others. This episode of INNER WORK was created for this part of you -- the reassurance seeker. We'll help this part of you feel seen, validated, soothed, and NOT ALONE. You'll walk away with:  an understanding of what fuels reassurance-seeking patterns and behaviors (and what those behaviors often look like) clarity on whether you're currently in a "reassurance-seeking trap" a powerful shift in perspective that will help you get more comfortable with uncertainty ideas for how you can USE uncertainty as a spiritual teacher in your life  The book mentioned in this episode is  Needing to Know for Sure by Martin Seif and Sally Winston.

Inner Work 182: The Life-Changing Magic of No Longer Hiding Your Gifts

This episode of INNER WORK is about the spiritual, life-changing practice of reaching for the Higher Truth -- in any situation. This is a practice I teach in many of my programs, because it's so powerful at cutting through the inner and outer noise that we sometimes get bogged down in. Previously on this podcast, I've talked about the LIES and illusions we often buy into as humans. The lies and illusions of the 3D human dimension, which are also sometimes the illusions we inherit through our human family lineage and also through the collective consciousness of this particular planet, and of the society and culture we each grow up in. The practice of reaching for the Higher Truth -- which requires active work on our part -- is about seeing those illusions for what they are, shattering them, and re-aligning ourselves with Divine Knowing. In this episode, I explain how to work with this practice and walk you through a series of potent examples of Higher Truth (while helping you connect fully to that Truth, if it resonates with you).

Inner Work 181: Reaching for the Higher Truth (with spiritual practice)

This episode of INNER WORK is about the many different ways in which we’ve all been indoctrinated into the “not good enough” paradigm… ... and how this can prevent you from living your life authentically, truly being yourself, and shining as brightly as you’re meant to shine and expand. I also talk about how the "not good enough" paradigm can prevent you from fully expressing and living your Soul’s purpose and stepping into your sacred service and work in this lifetime. We'll explore some ways to begin dismantling this paradigm and false belief system in your own life, so you can be FREE to heal and expand to your highest level.
