Just What You Needed

Earlier this week I had a conversation on Instagram about the painful phenomenon of not listening to your inner knowing… or not making a change when something feels off/wrong/uncomfortable in your life… and instead… WAITING FOR LEVEL 10 TERRIBLE.

Meaning, you wait until you're pretty much forced to make the change because things become just plain intolerable, instead of making the change out of your own sacred volition. Oof! So painful! Why are we like this thought?!

Well, in today's episode I offer 4 specific (and perhaps surprising) reasons for why this happens, and what we can do about it. Get into it!

What are the top two most essential, non-negotiable ingredients for a rock solid relationship to ourselves? In my personal opinion (and experience…and expertise…) we need equal parts SELF-LOVE and SELF-HONESTY if we truly want to thrive in our lives. If we want to say "yes" to making uncomfortable changes. If we want to learn from our mistakes. If we want to wake up in the morning and feel grateful and excited to be ourselves every day. If we want to grow! All of the above becomes a lot harder if we don't know how to love ourselves adequately, and also don't know how to be honest with ourselves. Listen in to learn more.

Oh boy! Get ready for me to rant and rave and go in-depth into why I claimed to be "allergic" to gratitude for many years. Because sure, everyone knows that a gratitude practice is a great idea, but what do you do when it just feels icky and/or fake? And kinda impossible? And also…doesn't work? What then?! If you've struggled with practicing gratitude, and then feel bad because you should be more grateful for how much goodness is in your life, then this is the episode for you.

Today is a LISTENER REQUESTED EPISODE! Two lovely listeners wrote in with brilliant questions so I got to go deep, riff, and rant on the art of clean boundary-setting in relationships (and what tends gets in the way), and then share about my experience of working with my body and energetic system after years of exclusively talk-focused therapy and coaching. Enjoy!

Welp! Cat's outta the bag. On a friend's podcast recently (as well as in an Instagram story) I shared a bit about what happened in 2019 when I woke up one morning with extreme, excruciating, physical pain…that wouldn't go away. So I wanted to share a bit more about my healing journey right here, in my personal podcast home. I talk about the experience of losing my confidence and sense of self, and feeling truly hopeless, helpless, and deeply afraid. AND the popular personal development meme that served me through that time, and has continuously brought me back into my power. (I'll also share that this one feels vulnerable to hit "publish" on. So I want to offer a preemptive "thank you" for listening, and being a part of this caring online community.)

We're dipping (or diving head-first?) back into the dating-and-relationship waters today! I'm getting personal in this episode and talking about some of the deepest, most uncomfortable, confronting work I've done when it comes to healing my relationships to men and the Masculine. I talk about my patterns of idealizing men, placing partners on pedestals, villainizing men, and making them the enemy – I've done it all. And I learned the hard way why trying to date men, when you also kind of hate men, just doesn't work. Listen in if you want to clean up your patterns of attraction to men and the Masculine at large!

Why does it feel hard to listen to your own intuition? Why is it that our minds are often yelling loudly, while our bodies only whisper? What happens when we start to move through our lives from a place of embodied wisdom…instead of following the rules of logic and rationale? In this episode I talk about the absurdity of me doing embodiment work, moving through resistance to listening to one's body/deeper knowing, and how to start tuning in from the neck down. This is a great listen if you're curious about embodiment work and what it can look like for you. Enjoy!

Today I'm sharing a bit about my experience of being a highly sensitive, deeply feeling human in romantic relationships. Because learning how to own our sensitivities and responsibly move through (and express!) our emotions on our own is one thing…but doing it with another person?! Holy moly, what a ride. If you have ever worried that you are "too much" in relationships, and you want to learn how to heal the parts of you that feel emotionally overwhelming – both with yourself – and others, then this episode is for you.

I'm responding to two listener requests today. The first question from Michaela relates to redefining gender roles and stereotypes within marriage, and the second request came in from Joe, who wants to better understand how to start owning and championing our sensitivities in a world that says we shouldn't be that way. I loved these questions, and I'm so excited to dive in with you. Let's goooo!

Doom-scrolling, Netflix-binging, emotional eating, over-working, going in for that extra glass of wine…we all have unhelpful habits of numbing ourselves, choosing distraction, and trying to cope with uncomfortable feelings and overwhelm. But how do we begin shifting away from those habits (because they can be so compelling), and start to choose things that actually nourish us? That's what this episode is all about! Get into it if you want to start supporting yourself on a deeper level. Your life will thank you.
