Life's hard man. It is FULL of disappointment. We have big goals and dreams for how we think life should go and when it doesn't we feel defeated. We feel like it isn't possible. Like we aren't capable of making it happen. Like the whole thing is pointless. I FREAKING GET IT.

This episode has some raw, real and vulnerable stories about what I've gone through in the last several years but it also has some very practical steps for you to take on your journey moving forward with faith instead of fear. 

The steps to dealing with life's disappointments:

1. Remember who the F you are. You are a spiritual being living a human experience. You are so worthy. So enough. So incredible. Deserving. Capable. Important. Valuable, etc. Work through your minds limitations and tap back into your limitless spirit. For help remembering book a FREE 15 min coaching call with me!

2. Be open to limitless possibilities. Your mind is limited to what it has experienced in this present life here on earth. There is a whole world out there baby and you NEVER know what's going to happen next! Zoom out. See the bigger possibilities

3. Be open to what is of the highest good. Maybe you think being a millionaire would be totally sweet but maybe it isn't of your highest good because the effort needed to obtain and sustain would wreck you. Maybe $500k is your highest good, the perfect divine balance. You don't know what's best for you, but your intuition does. Tap into it and trust what it says.

4. Tune in for guidance. If your brain is running you and circles it's time to shut it down. Your brain is great at making it about you. Why you weren't good enough, why you don't deserve it, what you should have done/said instead. Your brain is full of B.S. Tune into a force that is much greater than you and seek higher guidance. 

5. SAT. Surrender, allow and trust. Surrender isn't giving up, it's giving over. Give over what you think you need. Give over what you think is of your highest good. Give It over. Allow the limitless possibilities to unfold. Trust that what is of your highest good is coming.

6. Dream bigger. Stop boxing yourself into these limited ideas of what's possible for you. Shoot for the moon, if you miss, you might just land amongst the stars. 

I love you friends, and I'm rooting you on every step of the way!

I started a guest interview series at the beginning of 2022. This episode was in cocreation with the universe. These weren't my ideas, I never planned to create an episode like this, it was pure unfiltered magic that I channeled while walking the beach totally tapped in to a force far larger than me. 

Lesson 1: Life rarely goes as planned but always goes as it's meant to

Lesson 2: Every shell on the beach is unique but exciting and valuable just like every person and situation in your life

Lesson 3: With space and trust you always find what you're looking for

Lesson 4: Always be open to what is of your highest good

Lesson 5: Your power is in your presence 

Lesson 6: Always trust that you will end up in the right place at the right time

Lesson 7: If you take a look around you, there is magic

Lesson 8: Perfection doesn't exist. There's beauty in the imperfect. Imperfection is truly perfect in it's own unique way (An episode on perfectionism will be released in a few short weeks, click here to subscribe to the podcast and receive notifications each time a new episode is LIVE)

Lesson 9: Forget what you think you need. If you spend all of your time focusing on what you wish for instead of what's here now, you might miss out on the magic of the present moment

Lesson 10: Everything happens in perfect and divine timing (Click here for an episode on what divine timing actually is)

Lesson 11: There's gonna be highs and there's gonna be lows. You can't control it so just let it flow.

Tonia Winchester has been in practice as a Naturopathic Doctor since 2007. 

Now, as a brain-based transformation coach, she uses contemporary neurological reprogramming techniques to help women break through burnout, stress, anxiety, and fatigue and find joy and energy again so that they can create exceptional lives for themselves, their families and communities. She guides her clients through a "Breakthrough" process where they easily and gently clear the past, and recode their unconscious minds so that they are primed to make and sustain positive changes in how they take care of themselves. The results are a strengthened connection to self - more self-love, worth, and value, ultimately allowing them to build happy, meaningful relationships and compelling futures.

Tonia has been featured on CTV, the Costco Connection, The Elephant Journal, Conscious Nutrition, The Autoimmune Simplified Podcast, the Better Sex Podcast, Creative Conversations, and the New Generation Entrepreneur Podcast. She is an executive contributor at Brainz Magazine writing monthly articles. When she's not transforming her lives she is getting lost (and found) in the forest, salsa dancing, and turning paper into pretty things.

This week on the podcast we are talking all about TRIGGERS! Woo!

Basically triggers are anything that cause an emotional upset within you, whether that's annoyed, angry, frustrated or something else.

You can be triggered by people, comments, situations, literally anything.

Triggers are a sign that something is unhealed within you, they are your opportunity to look within yourself and do some healing work.

As a society we tend to "deal" with triggers by over eating, drinking, scrolling social media, working out, spending time with people, too much nextflix, etc. etc. etc.

The problem is, while avoiding your triggers can "feel good" temporarily, they stay hidden in your subconscious mind. They manifest in sneaky ways that you aren't even aware of (cue 3 life situations that were all stemming from the same internal trigger).

Find a way to talk to your triggers so you can better understand them. Talk to them the same way you would talk to a little kid or your best friend. Tell them that the situation sucks and you're sorry and ask how you can be supportive. 

For help diving into your triggers email me with subject line "Triggers" and I'll give you a FREE 15 min coaching call to help you step into your best self this year [email protected]

Becoming your best self and creating your best life is NOT about more money, a nicer car, a better relationship, etc.

It’s entirely about releasing the false identities of self that you’ve adopted over the years.

It’s about realizing what feels authentic to you, what really sets your soul on fire and leaning into that.

Quote from my evening tea “The purpose of life is to know yourself and love yourself and trust yourself and be yourself”

Start getting clear on what you desire by participating in this interactive podcast episode.

Also on a clean sheet of paper create two columns, one that lists everything in life that feels good, joyful, pleasurable, authentic and the other that includes everything in your life that feels heavy, exhausting, stressful, etc. Then make more time for the things that feel like you.

If you need support in making 2022 your BEST YEAR YET, consider working 1:1 with me.
