Real Rebel Podcast

In this episode of the Real Rebel Podcast Audio Coffee edition, we riff on stepping before you’re really “ready”.

It’s easy to see ourselves broken and in need of constant healing. So much so that we get caught in healing cycles. Ones where we’re reaching for some kind of ultimate perfection of self. This can lead to spending WAY too much time in the waiting room of life. Waiting to be ready. Waiting to be strong enough, smart enough, rich enough, healthy enough, slim enough. You name it.

It is when we get ourselves into this mindset that we miss out on the thing that will actually get us to where we want to go, the thing that will actually shape us into the person we want to become. Actually doing it. Stepping into the arena with just the clothes on our back and our bare hands ready to do the best we can with whatever comes our way.

It’s about leaping and learning how to fly on the way down. If we believe that we are broken we need to be “fully healed” before calling forward our dreams, then we will be waiting forever.

Because the truth is dear Rebel, you were never broken in the first place.

You awesome as sh*t human.

We’re back! Last week’s episode, unfortunately, didn’t air because of a small water spillage situation. My laptop had to spend a few nights in the mac hospital but has come out the other side cleaner and shinier than ever! #thankgod

In this episode of the Real Rebel Podcast Audio Coffee edition, we riff on the new expansive energy we’re playing in. It really is an all bets are off kind of situation. Which can feel a little chaotic if we haven’t grounded ourselves and taken care of our root chakra. I talked about the importance of managing the root chakra in the episode that never ended up airing, so I will get that one out soon.

In this episode, it is all about the freedom we have to create now. It’s almost as if a layer of weight has been released. Old stories have lost their potency and stickiness and it really is time to play and create. Which just so happens to coincide very nicely with spring starting to peek its head around the corner.

Some questions to ask yourself now…

• Am I keeping myself in a box/constrained?
• What would it look like I totally colored outside of the lines?
• How can I allow myself the chance to really run free?
• What would that even look and feel like?
• How can I find more ways for life to be fun and playful?
• What would I create if I didn’t give one flying sh*t what people thought of it or whether it failed or not?
• How good can I possibly stand it?

I love your face.

In this episode of the Real Rebel Podcast Audio Coffee edition, we riff on getting unstuck. It is certain that throughout our lives there will be times where the energy is flowing and times where it feels as if it has come to a grinding halt. This is a totally natural process brought on by the inevitable wheel of change. But that doesn’t make it any easier.

In this episode, I share the two questions/lists I made to help myself get out of my own moment (a rather long one) of being stuck. Now, these aren’t the end all be all, but very simply a way to get the energy flowing in the right direction. I’ve put the questions below as well in case you’re a more visual person and need to see them written down.

Two questions to ask/lists to create to help yourself get unstuck…

1. Where is the energy glitching? Where am I running into brick walls?
2. Where is my energy naturally wanting to flow?

The three questions to pose to the items on the “where is my energy naturally wanting to flow” list…

• How can I improve this? 
• How can I enjoy this more often?
• And how can I expand this?

Also a reminder to you lovely humans that I’m offering 50% off my Rebel Reflection Sessions for the month of February. Drop me a link here if you’re interested.

In this episode of the Real Rebel Podcast Audio Coffee edition, we riff on the process of shifting into new creation and inviting light back into our lives.  I originally was going to call this episode “Why the F*ck Not” but changed my mind as  I sometimes do. However, in essence, the sentiment is really quite similar.

And that is to let go, to play, to dream, to start to welcome the light back in.

When we’ve been in a process of integration for a while, it can be such a relief when things start to shift toward the better. It can feel as if we’ve been looking through a blurry unfocused camera lens and finally things are starting to come into focus.

It doesn’t mean we necessarily have the picture in frame yet. But it means we’re on our way. It’s just a matter of zeroing in on the vision we know we want to capture for ourselves.

In this episode of the Real Rebel Podcast Audio Coffee edition, we riff on the inevitable moments of suspension in life when we’re in deep integration and tend to fear missing out or falling behind.

It is totally normal to worry a bit when things slow down in life. Especially since we live in a society that puts a lot of emphasis and importance on speed and performance. However, what is not made enough room for, is moments where life skips a beat. Where things dip for a bit and seem to slow down, almost to a crawl.

These are moments of suspension, and not only are they normal, but they are required for growth. If we can shift our perspective around moments like this, then we can stop resisting them and instead start to receive the plentiful gifts that come from relaxing into them. In doing so, we not only speed up the process, but make it much easier on ourselves.

Your gifts, your dreams, your true self, none of it is going anywhere. So take a deep breathe where you are, and fly a little compassion your way.

The time will come for things to speed up once again. In the meantime, relax into the idea that you’re going to be just fine.

Because you will.

In this episode of the Real Rebel Podcast Audio Coffee edition, we talk all about the creative expanse at when it’s time to harvest the fruits of our labor.

After every contraction follows an expansion.  This is the energy we find ourselves in now. One that is vast, light, and open for powerful creation. It is time to play! It is time to expect miracles. To birth the creative ideas that get us excited. It’s time to follow the breadcrumbs leading us to more than we could have ever imagined.

Just as much as we sink into the darkness for her to teach us her lessons, we must allow ourselves the freedom to leap into the lightness. To trust that we’re stronger now that we were before, and even though our bigness, or the feeling of expansion can be scary, it doesn’t mean it’s something we actually need to be afraid of.

It just means we’re tapping into life itself. Living, breathing, pulsating life.

It’s time for you to step forward in your fullness. You will be supported in doing so.

In this episode, I talk with Sheri Salata who sat down in her Napa Valley home to chat with me about her new book The Beautiful No (and MANY other things). As we sat in our individual kitchens and talked through our individual screens (oh the wonders of technology), I couldn’t wait to dive in.

Sheri is most known for her 20+ year career with Oprah Winfrey. She was the final executive producer of the Oprah Winfrey show and President of Harpo Studios and OWN.

She has since continued to thrive in her creative work and recently wrote her book The Beautiful No which we dive deep into this episode. We talk about the middle of life, energetic frequency, the power of our stories, attaching to our struggle, the shame around the language of work-life balance, using happiness as our compass and much, much more.

If you want more of Sheri after this episode, you can tune into her podcast with her friend Nancy called The Sheri and Nancy Show, or do like I did and settle in with her audiobook and a cup of tea.

I hope you enjoyed this episode with Sheri as much as I enjoyed recording it.

In this episode of the Real Rebel Podcast Audio Coffee edition, we talk about how our energetic presence influences the world around us and the world we create.

Now is a time of creative expanse. In front of us is a new year, new energy, and limitless potential. The energetic volume of the world has been turned up drastically. Which means we have to be even more mindful of the part we play. We can choose to let the chaos of these times send us down a rabbit hole of defeat and despair, or we can choose to side with love.

Either way, with the creative space ahead and the power of the energy here now, we are in a prime position to create whichever reality we choose to focus on. The question is, will you allow yourself to believe in the possibility you hold? And will you trust that it is safe to side with love? Or will you slip into the opposite?

As always the choice remains entirely your own.

In this episode, I talk with Vienna Pharaon a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who practices out of her own private practice Mindful Marriage & Family Therapy in Manhattan, New York.

You also might know Vienna as the Relationship Expert behind the well-known @mindfulmft account on Instagram.

What I love most about Vienna, and what was abundantly clear throughout this episode, is that she is genuine in her desire to support couples and individuals through the process of transformation. She truly believes that her clients have the capacity to create beautiful, long-lasting change.

This is exactly why I wanted to dig into the process of change and why it can be such a struggle. We talk about her personal transformation, why we sometimes get stuck, how to release ourselves from those stuck places and much more.

This is the first guest episode of 2020, an entirely new decade and an invitation to do things differently this time. What better way to usher in the new year with a deep conversation around the power and process of transformation.

I hope you enjoy!

In this episode of the Real Rebel Podcast Audio Coffee edition, we dive into the energy of the new year and how 2020 is the time for you to step into the arena.

We touch on the importance of inspired action versus logical/over-planned action and what uncomfortable action means. Essentially, at the risk of sounding beyond cheesy, this episode is somewhat of a pep talk for the new year. Hopefully, one that won’t turn your stomach. ☺️

As always there is a card pull, this time with two cards, one from the Mystical Shaman Oracle deck and the other the Sacred Rebels Oracle and a Monday Mashup. The Mashup this week is featuring some of the Rebel Causes of previous RRP guests. The idea was to help inspire you and remind you to tune back into yours.

So that’s it! Welcome to the “soft open” of the new year. 😉🤓
