Why do you feel stuck, frustrated, overwhelmed, and/or directionless?

(Identifying this accurately is important!)

What do you need to in order to change that?

Your personal paradigm for success is not compatible with the one that you've figured out how to be successful in.

This is the paradigm shift you need.

I had the fun idea that I would run a podcast series along with the Meant for More group coaching program that I started this week.

This series will give you a window into the program's curriculum and (by following directions in the pod episode) even give you access to communication with me.

Meant for More is a program for big thinkers & deep feelers who want to realize their potential, create impact, and experience life fully.

Overwhelm is INTENSE.

It isn't just a feeling in our situation...

It is a feeling that dictates our situation, and therefore...

Creates our experience.

Use this meditation at the end of the day to shift out of overwhelm and into

calm, grounded presence.

Journal Prompts

• Releasing the energy of the day
  • What are you struggling with currently?
  • Can you do anything about that right now?
  • Can you let that go for the moment? If not, why? What action can you take to allow you to do so?
  • What else do you want to let go of?

• Shifting into gratitude
  • What are 5-10 things you are grateful for?
  • Now, read this list over. Close your eyes and feel into each of the things you listed. Let this wash over you and fill your heart. Breathe that in… and exhale any leftover heavy energy.

We talk about:

• Creating success in life and checking off the major boxes… but not being happy or fulfilled.
  • “I began to ask myself, ‘Is this it?’”
• The impact of being alone in the hospital - with no one, nothing, and only the blue garment.

• Having a gut feeling that, “I was meant for more.” but not having the courage to take any real action on that.
• The need for certainty and making decisions from that place - and why that isn’t always (or even often) isn’t helpful.
• The power of letting go of the need for control.
  • “I had to exert my energy to make things go the way I wanted them to go.”

• Why being everything to everyone is a surefire way to lose yourself… and the power of “taking off the mask”.
• The danger of expectations and how to set yourself up to not be massively disappointed.

Jeff II - Wait For Me

https://youtu.be/YuBBSQI2XDQ

We talk about:

• Losing so much - Dad, a serious boyfriend, friends, and a job…
• • ...only to find & create the life of her dreams.
• Working a job that you hate and that you know isn't it for you.
• • “This definitely isn’t the answer, so let me go try something else.”
  • “If you want something bad enough - or don’t want something bad enough - you are probably willing to work 2-3 other jobs.”
• Getting out of the paralysis of fear.
• • “What’s the cost of staying here?”
• Having the courage to take one step backward to a giant leap forward.
• Letting go of what other people think about you and your journey.
• The critical nature of tapping into a higher purpose
• • and why spirituality helps… but isn’t necessarily necessary.

We talk about:

• Who Jessie is. (Harry Potter and dogs just about sum her up! lol kidding)
• Meeting on Instagram.
• Our lives being completely different than when we met four and a half years ago - both in exciting and challenging ways.
• Moving relatively quickly in all facets of our relationship and why it felt right and natural.
• A really difficult time in our lives that involved intense health issues for each of us... including almost breaking up and calling off our engagement.
• How Jessie just quit her job, what she plans to do, and how we're handling it as a couple. (This is both exhilarating and terrifying!)
• And finally... a bit of a teaser about the content that we're going to be putting out together.
  • You're going to like it if... you are curious about being self-employed, passionate about doing meaningful work, aren't independently wealthy (hellooo debt!) and just want to live a life that feels good to you.

Why the World Needs You feedback survey: https://forms.gle/aMtwkd4bkKkTTXfRA

Cindy is the Founder of Elimu Girls, a 501C3 that assists rural teens with a sewing vocation to ensure they have a voice, choice, and a bank account. We are a grassroots organization that disrupts child bride and female genital mutilation rituals.

We talk about:

• Her father experiencing deep shame for being Mexican - giving her a window into people being treated horribly.
• Her deeply impactful experience in Kenya that she knew she would never forget.
• Elimu Girls is a two year sewing program that facilitates a transformation for the girls. It helps them become strong independent women that have the opportunity to break the vicious cultural cycle.
• How working with the girls has benefited her so much, even though she is the one “helping them.”
• Having the courage to do things that are scary or uncomfortable is a daily practice - not something that just happens.
• • If you want to be a change-maker, you need to fortify your ability to be courageous.
• We all have the ability to create change, even though it may feel like, “How can I possibly make the impact I want to?” Change is a ripple effect. You don’t have to “do it all” - you just have to create the ripple.

Jeff II - Wait For Me

https://youtu.be/YuBBSQI2XDQ

We talk about:

• Bringing the humanity back to the corporate workplace. (When was the last time you took a mental health day… and felt okay about it?)
• Corporate often does not allow the space for you to show up as who you are, or even how you are in that moment.
• Becoming interested in Human Design at the prospect of “discovering and understanding who you truly are.”
• “We’re not lost. We drift away from ourselves, but we’re never lost. Who you are - your highest self, who you’re truly meant to be with all your gifts and powers - is always inside of you, it’s just waiting for you to come back to it.”
• We often lose sight of who we really are because... we’re led to believe that:
  • Our gifts are not valuable (being sensitive, artistic, etc.)
  • Success needs to be a struggle. (“I need to work hard in order to get what I want.”).
• JUST BECAUSE YOU’RE GOOD AT IT, DOESN’T MEAN THAT YOU HAVE TO DO IT.
• ...and a bunch of cool (spot on) stuff about my type as a Manifesting Generator!
• Using Human Design as a tool - not a blueprint for how you “need to” live.

It's a real thing. Many of us are feeling it.

Here I talk about why this is normal...

...and then what you can do to work with it.

Journal prompts:

• How do you want to respond to the outcome of the election? (This prompt is not an invitation to vent. Venting isn’t bad - this just isn’t the intention here.)
• How will you create space for yourself post-election, regardless of outcome?
• What are you grateful for in your life right now?
• What makes you feel safe & comforted in your immediate environment? People? Places? Community?
• Think about a couple of years from now. Where will you be? What positive changes will have occurred by then?
• How does it feel to be in nature or doing anything else that allows you to feel calm in your body? Can you accomplish that at your will? How?
• Make a list of everything that makes you feel calm and grounded. What things enable you to unplug from the noise, frustration, fear, and overwhelm?

We talk about:

• “Burnout is a silent killer and it’s death by a thousand paper cuts.”
• Stop “shoulding” yourself! How to discern when we “should” or “should not.”
• The different types of burnout (**this was super interesting to me!**)
• Identifying as an Achiever and how this predisposes you to burnout.
• Why boundaries are the most important tool in your burnout-fighting tool belt.
  • “You are the only person who is going to preserve yourself and your work and stand up for your worth. If you’re not in the habit of doing that, your resources are just up for grabs. So going from thinking of boundaries as emotional to thinking of boundaries as logistical and allocation of resources.”
• Why your people-pleasing is destroying you and creating resentment - and ultimately not allowing you to show up as you want/need to.
  • “If you are a perfect person, you can make everybody happy and you can enhance everybody else’s life, even if it is at the expense of your own.”
• “If you are waking up worried that you are not going to do enough, or be enough, don’t take yourself so seriously. Stop taking life so seriously.”
