Another Audio Coffee recorded in the great outdoors! If you’re in the midst of a big scary change, this episode is for you.

In this Audio Coffee episode, I’m riffing on the messy uncomfortable feelings that often accompany big scary changes. In full honesty, it was a bit tough for me to record this episode as I’m going through a big change myself. However, I also feel it’s true that we’re never more connected to the feelings of an experience than when we’re actually in it. 

This episode is meant to be like a big hug and a reminder that you’re a courageous and awesome human, and just because change can be a bit messy and more than a bit scary, doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong. I hope my humanness makes you feel less alone in your humanness.

Plus, a guest appearance by a grasshopper, a buzzing bee, and a floatplane! 

Items I riff on today…

• The feelings that often accompany big changes.
• How nature communicates with us.
• Why big change is often preceded by a feeling of being small.
• What to expect during big life changes.
• The important role curiosity plays.
• Rockets of desire and the shedding process that accompanies it.
• How I tell an intuitive nudge vs a nudge from my mind.

Journal Prompts: 

1. What does my body need to feel supported right now?
2. Why did I decide to make this change in the first place?
3. What is the narrative in my mind right now? Is it helpful?
4. What is a more supportive narrative I could tell myself?
5. Can I come to a place of acceptance for what is and receptiveness for what will be?
6. What am I excited about when looking to the future?

I hope you found this episode helpful. And if you’re not going through a big life change and otherwise feelin’ jazzy, then be on your merry way and know that this is here if you ever need it.

Today I join you from outside where you will hear birds chirping, the wind flowing, and spring in full bloom. If you’re feeling like you're a bit stuck and need a refresh, this is your episode.

In this Audio Coffee episode, I’m riffing on integrity cleansing for spring. I recently recorded an episode with Martha Beck in anticipation of her new book The Way of Integrity (available for pre-order now and due out April 13th, 2021), and was so inspired by the idea of integrity cleansing. In essence, it’s about checking in with your soul and seeing what in your life is in alignment and what isn’t. What drains you and what doesn’t.

In Lee Harris’s most recent energy update he spoke about April being a month of brightness and lightness as well as fast and full of opportunities. Which makes it a perfect time for something like an integrity cleanse.

Items I riff on today…

• Reaching “the enough point.”
• Shedding winter energy and working with spring energy.
• What an integrity cleanse is.
• Journal prompts to get you started.
• What to do if you’re stuck and afraid of leaping.
• What it looks like to gaslight yourself.
• Becoming the adult you need.
• Being mindful of whose filter of approval we run our decisions through.
• Two helpful tools/states of awareness when doing an integrity cleanse.
• A wildly on-point card pull.

Journal Prompts: 

1. Where am I out of integrity in my life?
2. What things give me energy and what things drain me?
3. Where am I not asking to the best of my knowledge?
4. Where in my life am I settling and/or gaslighting myself?

In this episode, I talk with the lovely Kylie McBeath and as you’ll hear, it kind of blows my mind. Which in itself is an understatement. The transformation I experienced from integrating what she shared was quite profound and life-changing.

Kylie is, well, simply a wonderful human. She is also a Mentor, Writer, Earth Guardian, Medicine Woman, Mystic, co-founder of Zura Health, and co-host of the Zura Health Podcast.

This isn’t the first time I chatted with Kylie (it’s technically the 4th - but you’ll hear all about that in the episode), we also have another episode together that aired in 2019. Which, if you want to check out, is linked in the show notes.

A few things we talked about today…

• The profoundly transformative initiation she went through in Sedona.
• Why it’s essential we reclaim the feminine principle.
• The importance of honoring the womb and how to start.
• Shame around and sexuality and sensuality.
• Why she went on a “No Man Diet” for five months.
• Why we’re so disconnected from our bodies and the repercussions of it.
• The (very common) survival relationship pattern she broke.
• How distorted sexual energy influences relationships.
• How the shadow masculine and feminine have been existing together.
• Why we judge the “woo-woo” and talk of connecting to the womb.
• How many of our spiritual models are rooted in patriarchy.
• Why support is so key when reconnecting to our body and womb.
• How women are reflections of Mother Earth and why we hold the bar of integrity.
• And MUCH, much more.

As you’ll hear in my very excited response to Kylie’s beautiful wisdom, this episode holds so many activations for deep transformation. Plus, she’s just an awesome human.

I hope you glean as much from it (and more) as I did.

If you feel stuck, unmotivated, uninspired, and like you can’t seem to find your zest for life, this episode is for you.

In this Audio Coffee episode, I’m riffing on a few different things that have helped me shift my perspective and get a new dose of inspired energy. I’m also recording from a back field in my Jeep. So that’s fun. :)

It’s so important to remember that we’re still living in circumstances (and have been for a while now) that are out of the norm, to say the least. Which means, if you’re still a little stuck or not exactly feeling like yourself, it’s totally normal. Be easy on yourself.

Items I riff on today…

• Why it’s normal to feel “off” right now.
• My journey to a new place.
• Why we get stuck in ruts.
• How we can shift our perspective.
• What happens when we don’t validate our desires.
• The power of exploring new things.
• A few ideas to bring in new energy.
• A (hopefully) soothing reminder to close out.
• Plus an awesome card pull for your week.

Journal Prompt: What would my life look like if I trusted and committed to my desires?

If you feel overwhelmed with ideas, things to do, inspirations to follow, and just the disorientation that can sometimes come with a new beginning, this episode is for you.

In this Audio Coffee episode, I’m riffing all on the overwhelm that can often accompany new chapters in life. Whether it be a new career, a relationship, life as a newly single human, a move to a new place, or whatever else, chances are there’s a lot going on. Making it really easy to slip into self-doubt, burnout, and old patterns we thought we’d dealt with long ago.

I hope this episode helps you find a bit of inner space and rootedness while you dance in the seas of your new beginning. Before you know it you’ll be sure-footed and well on your way.

Items I riff on today…

• What to do when we’re stuck and uninspired (our new beginning isn’t here yet).
• The unspoken societal timelines that create invisible pressure.
• The important role self-acceptance plays.
• What to do when overwhelm and self-doubt surface.
• Letting go of how everything unfolds.
• A slow-motion exercise you can do.
• Being honest about whether or not we’re actually doing the work.
• And a beautiful and encouraging card pull.

Journal Prompt: Am I really doing the work?

Sending you all the love and encouragement on this new beginning you’re embarking upon. Remember, before we learned how to crawl, walk, and talk we had no idea how to do it. And now look at us! ;)

In this episode, I talk with the lovely Deborah Hanekamp, also known as Mama Medicine. Deborah is a pretty magical human, and our chat will be nourishing for anyone feeling a little pressured and stuck at the moment.

A few things we riff on…

• Demanifestation - what it is and why it’s important
• The in-between spaces in life
• Pressure from the spiritual community
• How she succeeded in her work
• Burning out and slowing down
• The challenge of being seen
• What to do when you want to give up
• The importance of “following the work”
• An incredibly DREAMY bath recipe
• And much, much more.

Deborah has had quite the journey to get to where she is today. I love her transparency in telling the real truth of her story. Ups, downs, endings, beginnings, triumphs, and “failures”, and how she transformed through it all and continued to show up.

It sends the message that just because you’re having a hard time, or find yourself in an in-between place, doesn’t mean that’s the end of your story.

Deborah’s calling is to support people through a healing modality she transmits called Medicine Readings. She also has a beautiful book out called Ritual Baths as well as a  membership called Space by Mama Medicine. 

She has been mentioned by the likes of Vogue, The New York Times, Women’s Wear Daily, and many other incredible publications.

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did recording it. You will fall in love with Deborah. I can pretty much guarantee it. :)

If you feel a little stuck and like you can’t seem to make progress on that creative dream or idea, or any area of life really, then this episode is for you.

In this Audio Coffee episode, I riff on the power of taking imperfect action. It’s a normal thing to get caught up in the illusion that we’re making progress when we’re digesting information.

Whether it be books, podcasts, blogs, online courses, all of it’s wonderful, but if it’s not followed up with some sort of action nothing seems to shift.

The key is to give ourselves the freedom of not only allowing our action to be imperfect, but almost expecting it. This way we give ourselves lots of wiggle room and a major pressure release to actually be a human when it comes to making a change in our life.

Items I riff on today…

• How information overload can cause a freeze reaction.
• Why digesting information doesn’t always mean actual change.
• How we can take imperfect action.
• Some good old-fashioned encouragement.
• And a card pull that will either knock your socks off or fill your boots with fire.

I hope you enjoyed this episode which was recorded during a snow storm on the fly with a guest appearance made by the heater. What can I say, it was cold!

Lots of love.

In this Audio Coffee episode, I riff on the self-doubt the inevitably comes before change.

It’s so important to remember that self-doubt is a normal human reaction to change, to starting something new. Especially if that thing is asking us to expand our edges of what we’re comfortable with.

Don’t get lost looking at people’s highlight reels. Remember, anyone who’s done anything that has personally pushed their boundaries, has felt self-doubt. So, if you’re standing on the precipice of a new beginning and feel the inner rumblings of repetitive stories and old patterns, take a moment and tune in.

Items I riff on today…

• Why self-doubt pops up before new beginnings.
• The difference between gut feelings and mind chatter.
• A wicked rocket ship metaphor.
• The power of momentarily standing still.
• The one thing you need before you step forward.
• And a VERY on-point card pull.

Thank you so much for tuning in as always. I hope you found this episode helpful and that you take your self-doubt as the ultimate sign you’re on the edge of expansion.

In this episode, I talk with Sarah Sapora who is one of the most raw and vibrant people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting.

We all could use a little support this year. With 2020 bringing many of us into a dark night of the soul it helps to have someone willing to speak about it openly and honestly. Sarah does just that.

We talk about…

• The truth about being in isolation
• How to find peace during a dark night of the soul
• Why we revert back to old trauma patterns during stress
• Why it’s ok to be low performing right now
• Preforming in order to receive love and acceptance
• Self-worth wrapped up in people-pleasing
• Codependency in work and relationships
• The difference between doing deep work vs. performing deep work
• How to be ok not being ok
• And lots more

Sarah is a self-proclaimed size-inclusive face for self-development, self-love mentor, level 1 Kundalini yoga teacher, storyteller, and teacher who has been recognized by TIME, The Today Show, Women’s Health, Wanderlust, People, Business Insider, and many more.

To me, Sarah is a vibrant human full of honest wisdom she’ll happily share with whoever might need to hear it. I hope you’ll be able to connect to her raw truth and leave this episode feeling a little less alone.

In this Audio Coffee episode, I riff on why we feel the need to always be moving on to the next thing, and how we can gain a sense of peace and clarity with where we’re at now.

I’ve heard from a few people recently that they’re eager/anxious to move on to the next thing, but not sure what exactly it is. I feel and have felt this so many times as well. The trouble with always focusing on the next best thing, is that we can sometimes miss the lessons sitting right in front of us. Lessons that will help expand us so that we’re more prepared to hold space for whatever it is we’re calling in next.

Items I riff on today…

• Why we tend to grasp for the next thing often before its time.
• How to settle into the moment and why it’s important.
• Questions you can ask yourself to gain clarity and soothe your nervous system.
• A perspective shift on why you might not be seeing the results you want.
• The role your intuition plays in your work and life.
• Why the most important thing you can do is listen to your inner-knowing.
• And a very on-point card pull from.

That’s it for today! I hope you’re enjoying sipping your coffee, tea, or whatever else you fancy while listening. Thank you as always for tuning in and being a part of the RRP Crew!
