It is easy to forget who we are. Our identity gets lost in the hustle and bustle of living life catering to external expectations and standards. What does it mean to live from our authentic self?  Our wild self?  When we live wild, we live unshackled from the expectations the world places on us-- and it's better for everyone.  Let's rediscover our truest selves and live from that place.

As you're looking ahead to the new year, do you want it to be your best ever? Do you want to experience more growth, more progress, and more success? 

In this episode, Dr. Thompson issues a challenge that'll get you well on your way to accomplishing those goals.

What is the one thing that might count more than anything else in a coaching session? 

The energy we curate for our sessions. 

Energy management might be more important than training, skills, or even the relationship we've built with our client. Even the most experienced or LOA savvy coach can often forget that the energy they bring, the vibrations they anchor, and the energetic experience we hold space for can make all the difference for our clients and for ourselves. 

We are going to talk about the four pillars of energy management and hygiene for the most effective and magical coaching sessions.

There are a lot of good men, and good men are finding themselves in really choppy waters right about now. They are having to navigate a lot of conversations and relationships with what feels like a target on their backs that they didn’t earn just because they are male. They feel the anger welling up in women. These good men are listening to the stories. They are reading the articles. They are affected on many levels.

The good ones are hearing the messages loud and clear. The challenge is, they aren’t the ones we needed to get the memo. We need the abusers and assholes to get on board, but they are not moving to the right side of this issue willingly. They are being moved through lawsuits and public humiliation. They are very busy right now victim blaming and dodging their history while the good guys are trying to find their way to man up responsibly.

We're going to talk about how to find a good man when it feels like all the good ones are hiding.

I'm in the spiritually based personal development business. I think a lot of people could transform their lives by taking a deeper dive into learning about spirituality. Reading the books, buying the stuff, spending time in the sphere of a teacher can be life transforming. However, the key is to find yourself in the teachings vs. trying to recreate yourself to be a knock-off of a master.

When it comes to the depths of your soul, no one can be your guru but you.

You are your own best guru. No one else can feel the stir of your heart. You aren't going to find your fire in the pages of a book. It's your life work to examine the DNA of your soul, then figure out who to sooth it and grow it on your unique journey to your specific brand of enlightenment.

We are going to talk about how to find yourself on your spiritual path without getting lost in the shiny wisdom of other people along the way.

There is a difference between being nice and being likable.

We've all met people who were very charismatic but not that nice under the layers of likability. However, it doesn't matter a lot how nice you are on the inside, if people don't like you, they probably won't bother to get to know you much past that first impression.

There is a science to likability. A lot of it has to do with chemistry. However, there are a few basic tweaks we can all make to be more likable and engage with people more openly.

When you're under the gun to perform, how do you get the most out of your team? 

Should you apply tension so that they feel pressured to perform? Or, should you take a more caring and compassionate approach?

In this episode, Dr. Patricia Thompson provides a brief overview of the research that addresses how to create the sort of environment in which your team can thrive.

I'm rapidly developing a theory that toxic masculinity is a mental illness that a subset of our population, specifically white males are more susceptible to. All kinds of mental diagnosis run more dominantly in certain populations.

What if these men were quite literally mentally ill and we're blaming them for a mental disorder without even the consideration of treatment??

I've named it Aggressive Narcissistic Personality Disorder with Hyper Dominance Motivation.

I'm not attempting to make excuses for abusers. I'm also not suggesting that every asshole needs to be rushed to a psych doc for meds. However, I am saying that as women, being lost in our own pain might be blinding us from seeing we aren't the only ones who need healing.

The patriarchy is sick. A lot of men are sick. A lot of men obviously need help and that help might have to start with women.

When a man says he’s bored with a woman, women almost always think he means sexually. That’s almost never the case, at least in the beginning. It can creep into that territory pretty quick, but it usually starts with him being bored with her in general because she has given up everything that made her interesting to clear the decks for him. I have a close friend who gave up every weekend for almost a decade waiting for a phone call that rarely came and didn’t even notice she’d disappeared from her own life. I’ve been guilty of it more times than I care to count in smaller but still corrosive ways.

We're going to talk about why that's never a good idea.

The best way to waste a first date is to make it about you. It’s not a popularity evaluation. You aren’t a test drive. Don’t let someone take you for a spin over dinner and a movie. It’s an opportunity to see if there’s a connection with another human. Don’t waste your time and energy trying to be likable and miss that chance or the signs it won’t ever really be there.

The most powerful place to be when you're dating is being the decider. You don't want to be hoping to be picked. You want to know you are in a position to choose. From that empowered place, dating is a lot less anxiety inducing and a lot more fun.
