On this episode of the Real Rebel Podcast Audio Coffee edition, we talk all about the fear of the unknown. About that feeling we all have as we’re about to make a big decision or take a new step in a direction we’ve never been before.

Fear is sometime that is very much a part of the human experience. It’s not about being fearless, but about recognizing that the fear we imagine is just that, a figment of our imagination. A story we’ve crafted using past experience or the stories of other people’s past experiences.

The bottom line is, that change means doing things differently. It means stepping into the unknown. We can never know for sure what’s on the other side of that scary decision. But what we can do is trust in our capacity to handle whatever it is that waits for us on the other side.

On this episode of the Real Rebel Podcast Audio Coffee edition, we talk all about finding comfort in discomfort. It’s easy to have a vision, to dream, it’s an entirely different ball game when it comes to actually taking action on those dreams.

We dream because we’re ready to step out of our current reality and leap into a more expanded version of ourselves and our life. Which means that our actions are going to have to stretch to match this expansion. This means we’ve gotta get uncomfortable.

Choosing the comfortable choice in the short-term means discomfort in the long-term and vice versa. The truth is that growth isn’t comfortable. We have to learn to block out the inner noise when we’re making changes, when we’re doing things differently.

In this Audio Coffee episode that’s exactly what I riff on. We’re diving into the nuts and bolts of dreams and uncomfortable actions and how to actually hold on through the uncomfortable part so we can reap the rewards of momentary discomfort and long-term gain.

It’s time to unstick from the old and leap into that new good shit you’ve been dreaming of. And it starts with one uncomfortable step after the other.

On this episode of the Real Rebel Podcast Audio Coffee edition, we talk all about boldness and courage.

If we want a vision that excites us, it needs to be one big and bold enough to inspire us to move towards it. And if we have a vision that is big and bold it will require us to take bold steps towards it. And if we want to take those bold steps we have to have the courage to do so.

That’s pretty much what this entire episode is about. Getting excited enough about where you’re going, and then what is actually required to get there. I also riff on the two sticking points many (if not all of us) inevitably come up against in the process and how to get past them.

All of this, of course, stems from our inner sense of worth. From the belief that we’re worth such a wonderful beautiful life in the first place.

The time to act is now. And if you’re stepping towards a big dream those steps will be scary. But that doesn’t mean you throw in the towel. That doesn’t mean you turn around.

It just means you gather up every ounce of courage you’ve got and press on.

On this episode of the Real Rebel Podcast Audio Coffee edition, We’re riffing on dreaming.

When we’ve been in a shadow period of our lives, or a dark night of the soul it’s so important to first rest. To give ourselves a break from the massive shifts we’ve been making and rejuvenate ourselves before we open the doors to dreaming again.

Often times we can’t even dream until we have given ourselves this time of rest without expectation. Meaning resting and trusting that when the time is right we’ll be called to action, but first we must fall fully into rest. And from rest comes release, and release is a necessary component to allowing those dreamy doors to fully open again.

I also dive into why we might feel blocked and like we can’t dream and some questions we can ask ourselves to open our imagination again and feeling into our dreams.

The is an innocence and playfulness to dreaming. One that requires us to extract ourselves from reality and let ourselves just be free, to push the boundaries of what’s possible, and to invite in the impossible.

I hope you enjoy this one. I might be a bit bias… but I think it’s a goodie.

On this episode of the Real Rebel Podcast Audio Coffee edition, we talk about honest organization and nesting. What the heck am I talking about?

Good question.

When we’ve been working and calling forward our desires for a long time, when we’ve walked through the fire (and countless others after that), we can be sure that whatever energy we’ve been putting out there, is on its way back.

However, the universe doesn’t return energy instantly. It usually skips a beat or two. Which can be an excellent time for some honest organization or nesting (for lack of a better word).

In other words, it’s a great time to prepare for everything that we’ve been calling forward. It’s a great time to get really honest with ourselves about certain messes in certain dark corners we’ve been allowing to collect copious amounts of dust.

These are the things that slowly drain our energy over time. Perhaps it’s our finances? A relationship we know we’ve should have vamoosed from a long time ago? A shift in our career we’ve been needing to make? Or a certain body movement situation we’ve been putting on the back burner?

Whatever it is, we owe it to ourselves to clear it out of our reality so we can more fully hold space for the things we’ve been walking through countless fires for.

On this episode, I talk with Kiley Redhead my mentor, guide, and go-to person when I can’t see through the fog. Kiley is an incredible human and through her coaching has helped many people find clarity and reconnect to their source of inspiration in order to find their inspired work.

In 2018, as it was true for many, Kiley went through a huge transformational shift that left her unable to get out of bed for weeks at a time. This massive period of integration left her with a deep understanding of the meaning “I exist”. She found herself in a whole new world like nothing she had experienced before. I believe through listening to Kiley and her insights she has reconnected with, you will find a great deal of ease and peace of mind. If I were to give this episode a catchphrase is would be that it’s all so much simpler than we allow it to be.

So, if you’re feeling overwhelmed by this new energy or by the massive shifts taking place, I hope that this conversation gives you some reprieve and solidifies what you already know to be true deep down.

On this episode, I talk with Jordan Gray a sex and relationship coach who has been dedicated to helping people thrive in relationships for the past 10 years. He is also a speaker, #1 best selling author on Amazon, incredible writer, and hilarious human in general. He has been featured in Huffington Post, The New York Times, BBC, Self, Cosmo, Psychology Today, Business Insider, Yahoo!, Forbes, Entrepreneur, Elephant Journal, and The Good Men Project.

Our chat was easy, fun, and incredibly powerful. Many of you will relate to Jordan’s story of being a highly sensitive individual and having to learn how to relate to and integrate past and present experiences in a helpful and healthy way.

We go into the beginnings of his journey and his experience with being bullied by his siblings, the moment when he tried to kill himself, the points of transition the lead to transformations in his life, dealing with burnout, heartbreak, what he’s learning and integrating now, and much more.

As with most of my guests, these days this chat could have gone on for hours if we let it. So I hope that you are able to connect with what we riffed on in the time we had, and more importantly, I hope you take a second to scroll through some of the incredible articles Jordan has posted up on his website.

On this episode of the Real Rebel Podcast Audio Coffee edition, we dive into owning your space in the arena. When we “level up” or enter a new space in our lives where we suddenly feel new again (small fish big pond kind of vibes), we can start to question ourselves and turn our gaze back to the comfort of where we came from. We very easily forget that we’re the person that called all of this new awesomeness our way in the first place.

This is where the upper limit thing comes into play. Where we default back into old stories telling us of all the reasons why we can’t hold the space we’ve freshly stepped into. And this is also where we need to catch ourselves. To catch the stories that have been playing in our mind for far too long. We have to take the time to honor and respect who we are now. Not look back and reference the person we once were.

This episode is all about that. And a few other things… but you’ll see. ;)

P.S. Thank you for being here. I think you’re lovely.

On this episode of the Real Rebel Podcast Band of Rebels edition, we're featuring RRP Crew members Iris Schlagwein, Martina Zeisack, and Joanna Delaney. The question we are posing today is "Where do you find meaning in your life?

The Band of Rebels series was designed to act as a platform for the voices of the RRP Community. So often we listen to a podcast and don't ever connect with fellow listeners. We also live in a world where we're judged by the number of followers we have. Often times we only end up hearing the wisdom and voices of those who have large social followings. This isn't to say those humans are lovely humans, I just feel it's important to branch out. Just because someone has 10 followers doesn't mean they don't know some good sh*t worth sharing.

I firmly believe that we all have a deep inner-wisdom, regardless of the number of followers we have to our name. The Band of Rebels series puts the mic in the hands of people you might not otherwise hear from while simultaneously connects you lovely listeners with other listeners whose wisdom might just be the remedy you needed.

Lots of love!
