Real Rebel Podcast

On this episode of the Real Rebel Podcast Audio Coffee edition, we talk all about asking ourselves the question, “what if I assumed the best?”

When we’re starting something new, or have been pushed out of our comfort zone because we’re growing and by nature growth also means change, it can be easy to slip into our fearful mind. The part of us that says things like… “who are you to think that you can do this?”, or “you’re just going to fall flat on your face again”, or “no one else in your family has ever reached done this, therefore, you can’t either.”

The slew of bullshit stories is truly endless. Unless, of course, we chose to put a stop to them. Unless we make the conscious decision to focus on everything that could go right.

There is a fine balance in being in the logical, practical human world, and allowing ourselves to dream big enough, and then believe in those dreams in order to make real change in our lives.

What if, as you look forward into the vast expanse of this scary new dream, instead of listening to the fear, you listened to the love. What if you focused all of your energy and attention on this dream of yours not only coming true and going well but going so well that your mind is completely blown. Going so well that you couldn’t even imagine how good it is.

How about we start there instead?

On this episode of the Real Rebel Podcast Audio Coffee edition, we talk all about the frustration that often shows up right before change does.

There seems to be this boiling point that we hit right before things shift. And we hit it because things are getting so dang uncomfortable where we are, that we just can’t stand it any longer. In this episode, I use the analogy of a backpack we’ve been carrying around full of stuff. Some of the things we know it’s time to get rid of because they’re just getting way too heavy to cart around.

We know that we can’t bring them where we’re going next.

This is all about how to be in that space just before the shift. How to make sure that as you move forward you’re not bringing any of that old heaviness with you. It’s about moving forward and claiming what actually brings you joy, and then leaving the rest behind all the while trusting that there is something more for you on the other side. As the saying goes it’s always darkest before the dawn.

Plus, I share a nifty exercise to help visualize this process of moving forward with only the things you really desire. It involves a desk and sexual innuendo! Ooo la la!

On this episode, I talk with Michelle Steilen aka Estrojen the founder of Moxi Skates and the Angel City Derby Girls. A woman who is literally rolling through life.

Michelle is such a prime example of what happens when we accept who we are enough to be able to see ourselves clearly, and then not only believe in that self, but take the courageous steps and work hard enough to live a life that really lights us up.

Heeding her mother’s advice told to her at a young age to “always do work that you have fun doing” Michelle has created a life that is just that. Which includes an awesome community of misfits and fast movers just like her.

Our chat was incredibly inspiring, informative, and just downright full of joy. If you’re feeling a little down and out or a little stuck and are looking for a little more Moxi (pun intended) in your life, then you’re going to want to listen to this one.

On this episode of the Real Rebel Podcast Audio Coffee edition, we talk about the danger of measuring ourselves up against the constant slew of numbers that exist in our daily lives and of getting too attached to the metrics.
When we start to pay too much attention to how much money is in the bank, how many followers we have, or the number of the size of our clothing, we disconnect from our hearts. We start to place our value in the numbers that we see as opposed to who we are and the potential that rests within us.
Enough.
You are not your numbers. You are so much more than that. When we live from a place of constant comparison, expectation, and judgment of ourselves, we only perpetuate more of the same in our lives. But when we step back, and start living from the heart first and foremost, the numbers adjusting in coherence with the raising of our vibration, is a byproduct.
Live from the heart and f*ck the numbers. The rest will come. And this way you’ll have a lot more fun in the process.

On this episode, I talk with Traver Boehm author, speaker, and founder of The Man Uncivilized Movement. Traver inspires millions of men to shift their experience of masculinity by combining the Primal Masculine with the Divine Masculine. So… big work. And after speaking to him it’s clear he’s fit for the task.

If you’re a man, or you know one that feels stuck, uninspired, is spending a lot of time numbing out… this is definitely an episode to pass along.

Previously Traver was a strength and conditioning coach, Crossfit gym owner, MMA fighter, bodyguard, acupuncturist, and surfer. He was living his life very much in his masculine energy, ticking off the boxes as he went, but never really diving into the rich deep murky waters that can very often be the feminine energy.

He experienced life as many men do in this society and culture. Numbing out in order to avoid the emotions that had been suppressed and buried over the years. A story we’re all too familiar with at this point.

Until, of course, a course altering time in his life presented itself and he was forced to face pain in a way he never had before. And thus began his dark night of the soul and the catapult that launched him into the work he’s doing now and his latest book Man Uncivilized.

But, as it goes, Traver tells this story much better than I do. So tune in and buckle up.

On this episode of the Real Rebel Podcast Audio Coffee edition, we talk about joy being the only true shortcut. When we get stuck in a place where things have slowed right down, or we feel like things just aren’t working out. It’s very easy to get anxious. It’s very easy to feel like we have to run faster, push harder, and apply as much force as possible to help get us through as quickly as we can.

The opposite ends up happening. Not only do things slow down and get more frustrating, but we also become exhausted and very often our self-esteem takes a hit.

When we’re connected to our joy, to what makes us feel good, we’re on the right path. We open ourselves up to flow and we begin to allow all those amazing things we’ve been hoping for, start to show up at our doorstep. But we first have to trust. We have to trust that number one it’s ok to feel good. That we don’t have to struggle to live a good life here, and second that we live in a loving and supportive universe.

Sometimes we just need to let ourselves off the hook, trust that when things slow down it just means it’s time to integrate. It just means that things are about to ramp up soon and to appreciate and use this downtime to gather our energy and prepare for all of the awesomeness headed our way.

On this episode, I talk with Leah Brathwaite and let me tell you, it was incredibly fun, transformative, and deeply inspiring. I love everything about Leah and the work she does. Dare I say she’s a Soul Sister of sorts.

Leah is a Soul Advisor and Author of the best selling book “A New Way of Life". Her work is all about freedom and coming home to yourself. It’s far too often the story that we get so disconnected from ourselves that we end up living a life that feels nothing like us. A life where we feel trapped and uninspired.

This is exactly the experience Leah went through. She had everything she was “supposed” to have. The house, the car, the job, the marriage, only to realize she actually didn’t want any of it. None of it was truly her. And so she set off on the journey of coming home to herself. One that she calls a “constant transformation”. Which I would wholeheartedly agree with.

She now lives her life doing exactly what she wants to do. She has allowed herself to not only see her desires, but to really claim them and welcome them into her life. But she will be the first to tell you it’s not always roses and sunshine. It’s constant growing, new learning, and understanding on an even deeper level what it means to truly live a life that is free.

So, if you feel trapped, disconnected, uninspired, anxious, or lost, then this episode should hit you right where you need it to. It’s my hope that it does.

On this episode of the Real Rebel Podcast Audio Coffee edition, we talk about what to do when things aren’t shifting. When we know we’re where we’re headed, but things just don’t seem to be clicking or moving.

This is all about being ok with where we’re at and releasing resistance. It’s all about taking the time to reconnect back to ourselves and acknowledging what we actually desire. Not what we’re told we should want.

This one is a little softer than usual for those times where we need a little gentle space to reconnect. A little reminder that ease is possible and important if we want to move forward without having to lift a boulder to do so.

That’s about it.

On this episode, I talk with Aaron Rose who can be best described as a love technician. More specifically, he is a motivational speaker, transformational coach, writer, and educator who work involves supporting public figures in owning their voice and stepping into greater leadership and impact in their own unique way.

Sitting down and talking with Aaron was as easy and breathing. One of the things I appreciate the most about him is the clear and concise way he describes very elusive and deeply complex spiritual topics. And we dive into all of it including energy, trust, bullying, suicide, money, intentions, and their importance, honoring our desires, owning our power and why we often shy away from it, our need to be seen, the importance of rest, how time is changing, and much more.

Aaron also takes us through his list of birthday intentions for 2019. So many of them stirred up realizations within myself and stoked the fire in my own belly, so I’m hoping in listening to them it will do the same for you.

If you’re looking for clarity, peace of mind, inspiration, and a dose of love this is episode might just be the one for you today.
