Love Notes From a Soul Coach

The poet David Whyte once said: 'You know you’re on your path because it disappears. You are going into the unknown which is called growth and sometimes the only single source of strength you can rely on is your faith.'

I have felt pulled deeper toward this kind of faith-based growth very strongly lately and as a result, I've decided to pause the Love Notes show for now while I focus on other endeavors.

It's been such a joy creating the podcast all these years and I sincerely hope you'll keep in touch with me over at: marywelch.com where I'll continue offering ways to support your healing journey.

Thank you, in the meantime, for listening and being part of my community! <3 Mary

Paradoxically, emptiness is not a void within us. It's the space that can give rise to our most profound experiences.

When we let go and create room in our lives, new and deeply meaningful connections can take shape.

Spring in New York has been a reminder of this and an inspiration for today's show. Winter cleared the slate for the overwhelming natural beauty that's been blooming here lately.

We can learn so much from the examples of the natural world around us; it's our best teacher. Tune in today to hear more!

What happens when we buy into the idea: Why bother?

We begin to lose our connection with Life.

We must bother - with the big and little things - working through resistance to make sure our collaboration with Life is something we protect, nurture and insist on.

On today's show we're talking about all of this and also sharing the words we all long most to hear.

I hope you'll join us!

Working with difficult emotions requires skillful tools. Meditation is one of the most powerful ones we can use.

On today's episode, we're exploring this idea more deeply and discussing how meditation helps us grow our threshold to tolerate the parts of ourselves and our lives which are not easy to embrace.

In order to meaningfully change, we must be compelled to meaningfully change. 

Many people think this is what the world of self help and motivation are all about - giving people the tools to change. But giving people tools doesn’t always compel them. The real ingredient that moves the needle for us is inspiration.

Join the conversation today as we explore the role of inspiration in meeting the critical threshold many of us long to reach inside of our lives - where the shifts we seek are finally possible.

On today's Love Notes podcast, we're talking about what it means to be our own best resource during times of trouble or hardship. Taking refuge means taking comfort in the deeper truths of our experience and coming home to ourselves. We'll look at this through a Buddhist lens with nuances from modern day teachers who remind us how powerful we are when we remember where we come from and the greater purpose we're here to fulfill.

It takes strength to say: I don’t know.

And it also takes strength to admit the answer when we do know. To be self honest enough to say: I’m failing to try. I’m letting myself off the hook too easily at the cost of my deeper growth. I’m using delusion as a form of protection.

When something really matters to us, our desire to actualize it is bigger than our fear of changing. It’s bigger than our unconscious need to stay the same.

Dark and difficult times can throttle us into survival mode and once there, we tend to consider things like happiness as non-essential nice-to-have's.

But as the research shows, happy people are critically important to moving the needle in a positive, constructive direction for humanity.

What can we learn from the common traits of self identified 'happy people' - and how can we incorporate these characteristic and POV's into our own daily lives?

Anger itself is not a problem.

It’s not un-spiritual. It’s not something we need to try to avoid in our lives.

The issue is how we work with it. We can choose to use anger as an agent for transformation. We can engage it, leverage its intensity and passion, so that the energy of anger serves us instead of drains us.

Let's talk more about this on today's show and explore the ways in which working with big emotions can have big, positive outcomes in our lives.
