Making decisions I can trust is at the root of the idea of having clarity and feeling confident. Clarity and confidence are the two things most of my clients come to me saying they want. They’ve started doubting themselves because they’re not doing the things they say they want to do or they’ve checked all those boxes but haven’t achieved what they expected. Paralysis by analysis sets in and they feel stuck, unable to make decisions they feel like they can trust. Most of us have been here at some point in our lives thanks to some of the harmful social stories embedded in our society. Even with a lifetime surrounded by discernment work, I’ve been there too. 

In this episode of Unlimited, the podcast, I’m diving into what’s blocking your sense of clarity, what to watch out for when you’re feeling unclear, and how to develop your ability to make confident decisions.

Some of what I’ll cover in this episode include:

• Individual and social patterns that make it hard to find clarity
• Overcoming past mistakes and right-sizing decisions
• The trap of people who want to help you – including coaches
• Decisions that do the most harm to your self-trust
• Ways to rebuild your self-trust
• Support for being the expert of your own life

How do I get out of my own way and into aligned action is a common frustration that leads people to sign up for coaching with me. My client in this session is an empathic introvert with strong intuition that she struggles to follow for herself. Her hope in signing up for a session was to uncover what keeps holding her back from living in alignment with her intuition. Unfortunately, most of us learn to question our intuition through multiple facets of our socialization. From there we’ve generated idealistic stories about what following your intuition should feel like that fuel additional confusion and perpetuate cycles of feeling stuck.

In this episode of Unlimited, you’ll hear us unlock the stories that hold us back from our intuition’s guidance and staying empowered when things don’t go as planned.

Some of what we engage in this episode include:

• Fear of success
• The grief that comes with transitions
• Understanding self-doubt
• How to ask helpful questions
• Staying empowered when things don’t go as planned
• Stress in stretching your comfort-zone
• Creating a container to support action

Allowing space to imperfectly love your body and yourself is so important but yet not something most of us do. Our society tends to be very focused on hard work and results, which feeds an attachment to outcome. We are sold over and over the idea that something else has to happen before we can have space, embrace our body, enjoy life. Unfortunately, if your brain is fed something enough without sufficient contradiction, it internalizes it as it's own idea. That's where we get: “Once I lose 10lbs I’ll feel better in my body.” or “Once the kids are back in school, I’ll have time for a yoga practice again.” These ideas are stories about an imaginary future you. That you is divorced from the messiness of being human, which seems a lot more comfortable even if it's just a fantasy. That said, goals certainly can be great and visioning can be fun but the messy you, the human you, the you who makes mistakes, deserves love and attention too. It’s that attention that makes all the difference in how and where you grow.

In this episode of the Unlimited Podcast I invited Naomi Gottlieb-Miller to join me in a conversation around releasing perfectionism as you embody self-love.

Some of what we talk about in this episode include:

• How to simplify self-care
• Releasing the pressure to do it all
• Breaking up with perfectionism
• Self-forgiveness and the value in mistakes
• Developing a loving relationship with your body
• How to create a successful and sustainable habit

More self-control is not always the answer to creating calm and order in your life, despite what you may have heard from other personal development folks. Many of my clients come to me seeking calm and order because they’re feeling overwhelmed, unclear, disorganized or scattered. We’re trained to believe that what we need to overcome this sense of being out of control is to become more disciplined. That if you want to get off the emotional roller-coaster and be more consistent you must learn better self-control. The problem is this doesn’t work, at least not sustainably, and usually leads to increased frustration and self-doubt.

In this episode of Unlimited, the podcast, I’m diving into how to create more calm and order without fighting yourself for control.

Some of what I’ll cover in this episode include:

• Why words like control, discipline, and even consistent can be problematic
• Knowing what’s mine and what’s not mine
• Care vs control
• A guide for clarifying and honoring priorities
• How to be intentional

Thank you for listening!

Retraining Your Body takes Retraining your Brain and establishing a conscious relationship between the two. Brains love patterns and most of them reside in your subconscious because your brain is designed to make things easier for you. It learns the pattern and, as soon as possible, moves that learning into your subconscious, in order to respond faster and with less energy. Though that pattern was created for a reason and must have served you (or even generations before you) in some way, that doesn’t mean it is helpful now for what you want to do or who you want to be. This is true with both mindset patterns as well as patterns in the way you move your body. The good news is that those patterns aren’t fixed. You CAN change them, especially with a little help from someone trained to support those shifts. 

In this episode of the Unlimited Podcast I invited Kira Macoun to join me in a conversation around retraining your body to support you better.

Some of what we talk about in this episode include:

• Functional and somatic fitness to reduce chronic pain
• Identifying the problem when it’s not where you feel the pain
• Re-engaging the brain-body connection
• The importance of taking time to notice your patterns physically AND in life
• How to create more freedom in your body and beyond
• Effectively releasing your stress posture

"How do I motivate working on MY projects, especially as my work gets busy?" asks the woman in this episode. She is a CPA in a small town with her own tax and accounting practice that has exploded in the past 3 years. Recently divorced, she was not expecting her business to grow so quickly at this point in her career. She has lots of creative hobbies she wants to work on but when she’s done with work for the day she finds herself watching tv rather than engaging any of her other interests. Her hope in signing up for a session was to have more clarity on how to spend time on things for herself. 

In this episode of Unlimited, you’ll hear us unpack the notions of laziness and lack of motivation to explore the root of where energy is going and how to make room for YOU too.

Some of what we engage in this episode include:

• Mental energy and allocating resources
• Setting boundaries with clients and yourself around work time
• Identifying a difficult client avatar and ideal client avatar
• When hobbies become draining
• Attachment to outcomes even when you know better
• Cultivating a relationship with yourself

This client isn’t unique in her struggle. We’re not taught and in many ways are actively discouraged from having a healthy relationship with ourselves. Women in particular are fed a message that we are supposed to put ourselves on the back burner to take care of others (from our family to our work) and just doing so should give us all we need. Except that’s not how it works. You only have so much energy to give and you certainly deserve some of that allocation!

Aligning Life as a Multi-passionate can seem complicated. How do you decide what to focus on, what to monetize, and what you actually WANT to do? It can get a little overwhelming. It’s hard not to fall into worrying about picking the “wrong” thing or letting go of the “right” thing. Even passions in our life can have seasons but it’s hard to let go when you’ve spent so much time, money, and energy in a particular area. It’s important to know when something no longer fits and how to allow a pivot to happen. Self-trust, releasing outcomes, and sometimes a little outside support can be key in moving into a new chapter that honors your values and gifts in a new way.

In this episode of the Unlimited Podcast I invited Bev Feldman to join me in a conversation around aligning life as a multi-passionate entrepreneur.

Some of what we talk about in this episode include:

• Identifying and aligning with your values in your work
• How to grow from what isn’t working
• Reframing what it means to be an expert
• Embracing your passions as part of you, not who you are
• Eco-friendly birthday ideas
