This is the episode "How to" deal with the inner critic, the self sabotage, the self doubts!

How to begin: Giving yourself grace when you’ve done something wrong, healing the critical voice inside and having your own back.

What if there was a practice that actually used the inner critic’s commentary as the way out from under its thumb? ENTER Self Kindness, llisten to learn how.

Any attempt at doing something as challenging as personal growth work, will bring up everything you've come up against before. "Being realistic" is a powerful gate keeper! Not allowing us to go out beyond the boundaries of stress, overwhelm, fear and to-do lists! Do less with more belief!!! Belief in what IS possible!

Raise your hand if you've never felt that you just couldn't add one more thing to your plate. We all have at sometime in our lives felt OVERWHELMED! And yet too often we are adding fuel to the fire in how we attempt to deal with it. In today's episode we're going to bring out some new - radical & upleveling self kindness ideas - to meet & transmute overwhelm!!

Time, we're told, is precious! So whatever you do, DON'T WASTE TIME!! In this episode I talk about what happens when you believe you're wasting time and how you can actually be LESS effective with this thought. IE: believing you are wasting time actually causes you to waste time!!

You don't have to be at crisis mode for inner kindness to have big benefits in your life! Hilary & Matt Fritsch, both in my self kindness coaching program, share how their self kindness practice helps them to be a better spouse, a better parent and better in their professional lives! Both MDs and both committed to being the best versions of themselves in this world - listen in as they describe "the how" to live as their best version via self kindness. Victor Frankl said, “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”

Serena Hicks shares the full range of human emotions it takes to "fumbling forward" and live a wildly, authentic and beautiful existence! You have permission to be imperfect - Serena has walked the walk: From success in high profile jobs at places like MTV News & receiving an Emmy, to declaring bankruptcy, to now sharing her amazing master mind program - BIG Happy Money!! Serena beautifully models and explains how to step into being an "instrument of increase!" sharing how she used her rent money to pay for her first coach!

You're gonna feel like you got a huge pep talk and giant hug at the same time!!

What happens when you invest your time, energy and money into the stewardship of your own mind & your own kindness?? Sarah Hawthorne and Aaron Nydam, both Self Kindness coaching clients, are here with an incredibly inspiring episode to share their results! The challenges, the heart opening, the life changes, the wins and the inevitable dips. Listen to hear where self kindness takes everything you've already learned, and lifts it to the next level!!

Self Kindness is living from that Imagined place where you are living the life you want and dream of. What does that look like? Free of worry? Free of feeling exhausted or as if there’s a never ending list?

What do you look like from there? Your smile, your eyes, your posture, how you walk.

What do you see yourself focusing and doing in your daily life? Relaxing, being of service in the world, following your heart, creating art?

Do you see it? Can you feel it? I’m like the talent scout that is giving you the contract, handing you the deal, backing your vision, saying, “You’re gonna be a star kid!” - because that is your birthright!

What is self Kindness? It's becoming the best version of you with intention! Living as clear, kind, generous, focused human beings, without the fear of life's drama! In a celebration of 50 episodes, we're going back to the beginning! Self Kindness begins by going in!!

Over the years my mantra has often been, “I just need to figure it out!” And today, I’m proud to say that I landed in a true place of believing, “I have figured it out!” - maybe...Everything, and I do mean E V E R Y T H I N G in my life is here to help me on this journey!

So, what do you think?
