Shattering Ceilings

Hello, Shattering Ceilings fam! As we welcome September with open arms, we're gearing up for an important journey over the next two months. September marks National Suicide Prevention Month, followed by October's National Substance Abuse Awareness Month. These topics may seem heavy, but we're eager to shed light on them, drawing from personal experiences and our passion for breaking the stigmas surrounding these issues. Join us for open sharing, thought-provoking conversations, and special guests in the coming months as we explore these important subjects, fostering compassion and understanding for those affected.

Curious to know more about how this earthy energy could be showing up in you?  Listen in to find out!

Our life is a series of stories we create, based around the experiences we have. 

What story are you telling? 

Today, we're diving into a thought-provoking topic: the clash between story and phenomena.

CALL TO ACTION:

Pay attention to the stories you’re creating. When you catch yourself getting caught up in a story this week, pause and bring yourself back the present moment: observe the phenomena.

Bonus Exercise:

Write the story down in your Shattering Ceilings notebook and dissect it. Where did this story come from? What is fact and true about this situation. What phenomena did you observe?

Conditioning… we’ve all got it. Some of it is really helpful, like look both ways before you cross the road. While other conditioning … not so much… for example, you have to “earn” rest.

So how do we get rid of conditioning that doesn’t serve us? Tune in to todays episode to find out!


CALL TO  ACTION:

Take notice of moments where conditioning pops up for you this week. Write them down and reflect on whether this conditioning supports the person who you are in this moment or if it’s time to let it go.

This is a conversation on compassion. How to have it even through difficult moments and conversations. In a world where we seem so divided, be the compassionate human that bridges the gap between our differences.

When we live in a vacuum, we cannot grow. It is the moments where we feel challenged, where we disagree, where we don’t yet understand, that expand us. So come sit with us as we discuss how necessary and integral of a role compassion plays in communication and life.

Call to Action:

Where is there an edge in you that can be softened? This week, when you hit an uncomfortable edge, rather than challenge the opposing party or getting defensive, practice compassion and notice how your perspective and response might change.

Fresh off the plane from a huge conference, Lauren shares with us some of the takeaways from her epic weekend. True to form, we cover more than one topic in this conversation; impact, transparency, vulnerability, and sharing the dark moments as well as the triumphs...just to name a few.

But the main question…Are we living life full out or are we playing it small?

Join us for a conversation about life and the value that we each have to add just by showing up unrefined and deeply in our truth, no matter what.
