Is your bias towards positive emotion keeping you down? Numbing/hardening feels great when it's a painful time, but when the good moments return you're.. numb and hard.. and that is NO WAY to live life.

What's the answer to being able to go through these changing seasons? Answer: go through them. Begin to define strength as the ability to maintain an open heart and sensitivity towards life during the darkness, so the brightness is just as rich. Stay present. 

This is a great episode with my friend Cadie Simmons.

In this episode, I sit down with an amazing friend of mine, Blaze. We talk a lot about replacing religious rules with personal values, and very personal topics of emotional development.

We discuss sexual development within a religious culture, and emotional development around people who are not emotionally developed. There is lots to learn for us all!

If you are in a hurry.. Here is the breakdown!

0:00-15:00 (Religious upbringing, and personal discovery)
15:00-45:00 (General emotional/personal development and learning respect)
45:00 - Final (THE BEST PART.. Getting to know the strength of your "No")

I really hope you enjoy this episode. We had a blast.

Episode two, is live!

Growing up I was always taught that my guiding light was outside of myself. That my internal voice was not one to be trusted. Even worse, it was wayward, wicked, and deceitful. I was taught to look to pastors, teachers and older men to find out how I SHOULD be. 

Carrying around the SHOULDs of other people eventually started to feel more like a hinderance than a honorable burden.  It was through meditation that I was able to begin to get enough space to see myself following others, instead of thinking and feeling based on me. 

Through the years, with this practice, I have began to rescue my inner voice, lean into my own decisions, and overall feel so much more at home in the life I create for myself. 

I am not anti-religious, but I sure have had to learn to look at religion for inspiration, and not instruction.!
