With so much going on in the world, it can be easy to allow yourself to absorb all of the daily frustrations. It can be easy to play small or hide in the background just to avoid some of the chaos. You were created for more. Don't forget to get up, dress up, show up, and never give up. In this episode we discuss the importance of shining your light, even when it seems to be one of the most difficult things to do. We are always growing through what we are going through. Remind yourself daily not to dim your light.

In the airport baggage claim is the most, or seems to be the most unsecured place. It is ironic that there was so much security to board the plain, but not too much when we disembarked the plane to go to our temporary or final destinations. What's up with that? In this episode, we discuss the struggles of claiming someone else's baggage (other people's stuff) and the implications that has on our lives.

For many of us today, we work from home which can mean we are sitting down quite often. We may be busy working, but our bodies are losing out on the benefits of movement that creates flow. We are doing beneficial work, but not exactly being kind to ourselves in the process. In our episode today, we discuss the ways our lives might be stagnant while we are so busy giving to so many other things.

How can we create flow for ourselves? Let's talk about it.

Little children are truth tellers with no filter. They've taught me a lot about how they deal with the difficulties of life at such a young age. There is a lot they can teach us as adults, if we're willing to listen. In this episode we discuss covering your box to prevent others from dumping on us in our daily life. People will dump their trash on us, but we determine if we will become their dumpster.

This episode discusses trauma and the ways it impacts our daily lives. We take an example from a quote released by KeKe Palmer on social media to emphasize the importance of understanding the stages of an Acute Stress Response (aka Fight-or-Flight). We look at how we physically and emotionally respond when we are not dealing with the traumas we've experienced.
