It's normal to seek external permission, it's something we are conditioned to since birth. 

It's normal to give permission to others, it's part of the cyclical nature of life. 

It's not as natural feeling for us to be our biggest authority when it comes to permission... but what if we flipped this concept?

What would happen if you gave yourself the ultimate hall pass to do, or not do, the things that you KNOW are needed for your happiness, authenticity and fulfillment in life?

The purpose of this episode is to allow you to take back your authority and take action on your wants.

Pauses are very under utilized in our days. 

Learning to get comfortable in the discomfort of a pause allows us to create space for others to step into their personal power. 

Learning to add a level of intentionality to your own pause before response allows you to step back into the drivers seat of your decisions. 

The intention of this episode is to convince you to start building more pauses into your life. 

Who's ready?

This episode is all about understanding that our lives are a mix of creating and consuming.

As a society we forget that we are all creative beings. When you understand  that creativity is your birth right, you’re able to take your power back. 

Don’t like something that’s happening for you (notice how I didn’t say ‘to you’ because that’s never the case), create a different experience for yourself. 

Notice your creativity seems lower than usual? Create an experience that allows you to have less consumption. 

My favorite part about creating experiences is that we then allow others to consume and create for themselves. Talk about win/win.

I often feel pretty misunderstood in my philosophies.

Reframing, choosing to understand that every situation has a positive learning lesson, doesn’t mean that I am an advocate for turning a blind eye to the less than sunny side of things. 

Fears, shame, regret, hurt… these are real deal things that are present for us during some time in our lives. Yet, how often do you allow yourself to feel these things so that you can also heal from them, vs just turning them off and pretending that they don’t exist?

In this episode we are talking about why it’s important to let go of running from the dark and to spend some time with your less desired emotions.

When we are kids there is SO much outside noise thrown our way. When we are adults we get to decide which beliefs are helping us, and change the ones that are hurting us. 

In the new age ‘grind or die’ mindset things get really complicated in a lot of different areas, including perfectionism. The purpose of the newest episode of Intermittent Philosophy is for me to shake up your world by calling your bluff.

Disclaimer: I’m not judging anyone who puts perfectionism on a pedestal; I did that for the majority of my life. What I am doing is opening up your eyes to the fact that maybe perfectionism isn’t what you thought it was.

In todays world, as women, I am a firm believer that we should banned together and bring back the #girlpower movement of the 90s. 

However, today I am totally going to be  bashing a super famous ‘female’ we all know. 

Lady Luck is not your friend, she kind of a bleeeeep #sorrynotsorry. 

In this episode we are breaking down the socially accepted theory of luck. 

By first understanding the actual definition of luck, it’s easy to see how luck has actually  been tricking us into giving away a lot of our power. 

Not cool!

In December my husband and i checked something off of our bucket list.

The three weeks we spent in Korea were mind blowing. From visiting the historical island of Jeju, to seeing all of the modern wonders of Seoul, we made it our mission to soak it all in.

Travel is really important to me for many reasons, but the number one reason is it gives me an opportunity to LEARN.

On this episode I am sharing with you my favourite, and least favourite, cultural difference between Korea and Canada. Not only am I sharing my least favourite difference, I’m also going to explain to you what I was able to learn about myself from it.

Have you ever had a belief, opinion, or mindset simply because it was trending?

I know I’ve been there MANY times in my life.

On this episode I free flow my though process breaking down a very trendy topic this time of year; a fresh start.

The honey moon stage of January’s motivation is over, and it’s time to check in on our beliefs.

In order to get to know my local CrossFit community better, I signed up to volunteer for a competition. What I got out of my experience was a massive learning lesson that applies to all areas of my life.

Whether you are familiar with ‘no repping’ or not, this episode offers some insight into how we can sometimes allow our own fear of discomfort hold others back from learning and growing in their lives.

Last week we dove into the how and why behind our numbing/avoidance tendencies.

Today I want to share with you my most common numbing techniques from the past. They might surprise you, allowing you to get really honest with yourself and your behaviours as well.
