July 30, 2023Episode 31 - Fact or Fiction? How Our Thoughts Sabotage Our Joy
Life is too short. Too short to sweat the small stuff, too short to make a mountain out of a molehill, too short not to live to our best potential. We often allow ourselves to get wrapped up in the drama - the fiction that we ultimately turn into fact with our thoughts. This robs us of our joy! Remember, thoughts are JUST thoughts.

In this episode, I talk about:
The way we think and feel creates our state of being;

We create our own suffering with our thoughts;

We let the energy of others affect us;

We judge others based on what we assume they are feeling (perception), and we in turn make it about us;

When we ASSUME, we make an a$$ out of you and me (I can't take credit for this);

Happiness is a quality of thought, it's a state of mind.

July 23, 2023Episode 30 - Empathy From The Inside Out: How to Lead With Impact {a conversation with Erin Thorp}
In this episode, Erin Thorp shares her story of anger and how it developed at a young age and into her teen years. As her parents struggled with addiction, Erin - being the oldest sister to her 3 siblings - took on a lot of adult responsibilities, and she grew resentful for feeling like she missed out on her childhood. Listen in as Erin shares the life lessons she has learned and how that has all impacted the way she leads today, in both her parenting and in her career.

Erin Thorp is an empathic keynote speaker, writer, and coach for leaders who struggle with conflict, communication, and performance during high-stress times. Erin has 20 years of experience in the masculine-dominated engineering and construction industries, and now runs a leadership business full-time, supporting leaders in navigating difficult conversations, building powerful teams, and communicating with empathy so they can lead confidently. She believes that there is a leader in everyone and is dedicated to adding humanness back into the technical fields. Erin currently resides in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, with her husband and their three children. In her spare time, she enjoys curling up with a book, spending time outdoors, and cooking with her family.

In this episode, Erin also talks about:
How she saw a counselor as a teen before going to University, which laid the groundwork to access mental health and learning to have the uncomfortable conversations;

The way we impact others has far more meaning than what we set out to do;

What empathy is and is not;

All emotions are just information, they are neither positive or negative;

Why we need to move away from problem solving others' emotions and feelings;

The amount you let yourself feel joy is directly related to the amount you let yourself feel discomfort;

Our primary human function as human beings is to be able to feel;

How to not feel shame in what you need to feel.

July 16, 2023Episode 29 - We Are NOT Our Emotions
I don't know who needs to hear this, but....
We are human beings. We are BORN with emotions. Emotions are NOT a learned behavior. And, we are NOT our emotions!

In this episode, I talk about:
How we were never taught to feel or process our emotions;

Historically, we had to be in survival. Present day, we are meant to thrive, and we NEED our emotions in order to thrive;

Why it is incredibly important to allow our children to feel what they need to feel;

What happens when we stop an emotion from being felt and processed;

When you need someone to change to feel better, that is codependence;

Triggers are opportunities to heal emotions that have been left unprocessed;

We don't know what we don't know - as we continue to evolve, it is an opportunity to pass down new generational patterns so that future generations can learn to thrive.

In this episode, I talk about:
How projecting your anger onto others only provides temporary relief and actually adds to your suffering;

Anger should always be acknowledged, but in a healthy way, versus acting on it in a dysfunctional way;

In this episode, Carrie Christensen courageously shares her story of anger and how it originated from lots of childhood trauma and abuse. It wasn't until she began her journey of deep internal healing that she was able to see the anger for the pain that it was, that she was able to start releasing the grasp it had on her.

Carrie Christensen, owner of Joie's Cleaning Company LLC located in upstate New York, is a Mama of 6 - 5 teenagers and a 4 year old; they are a beautiful blended family of 8.

June 18, 2023Episode 25 - Your Fear is a Privilege
"Starve your pain, find your ego. Starve your ego, find your beast. Starve your beast, find your truth. Find your truth, find your PEACE. You will always find evidence for what you CHOOSE to believe. So, if you don't like your story, don't believe it. We are story tellers, and the stories that we tell ourselves and other people become our lives. Change your story, change your LIFE." - author unknown

In this episode, I talk about:
How staying stuck in fear, guilt, pain is causing our suffering;

Suffering is comfortable because that is what we are so accustomed to;

How we think and feel creates our state of being; our identity is attached to our fear, guilt, pain;

Why we have to let go of trying to control the outcome, and instead focus on controlling our thoughts;

The confidence we seek is actually a byproduct of taking the emotionally uncomfortable action;

We need to become the change that we seek.

Through her own journey of discovering emotional freedom, Morgan had to uncomfortably practice putting boundaries into place. She had to push back on relationships that no longer served her, including her husband's family.

Through her life she’s been a kayak guide in Alaska, a boat captain, naturalist, elite level cyclist, and has climbed the summit to some of the notable peaks in the area. Currently she is navigating parenting, work, and a coaching business, all of which are guided by her desire to be a wild woman.

In this episode, Diane Sorensen shares her emotional growth story as it relates to generational patterns and trauma stemming from her childhood. Her children were the catalyst for her growth journey. She shares how she shifted her relationship with her children from being in a constant sate of power struggles and control, to allowing them to live their own life experience and feel empowered to do so.

She has been in the field of early childhood education for 30 years and holds degrees in early education and behavioral science.

Humans are addicted to control, because it feels safe;

Traditional culture is immersed in codependency, and how this is connected to people pleasing & perfectionism;

How perfectionism is a coping skill learned from a young age;
