The more we do this work, the more we realize that the most common frustration in the world is the desire to be seen coupled with the fear of allowing it. There is an innate calling from within to show yourself, to be yourself, and to own your unique contribution to existence. And yet we all seem to struggle with it. 

This episode is all about showing up as yourself. What stops us, where this starts, and why we can't shake the desire.

Getting comfortable with being uncomfortable is something we hear all the time now. It's definitely becoming a buzzword/buzz phrase. And you know what the SheKings do with buzzy things. We turn them upside down. And shake the change of out their pockets. Just kidding. 

We want to be of support as you wade through 2020 (what a year, amirite?). And learning what it really means to sit in your discomfort can change everything. It requires your presence. It requires your peace. And in return you get both back in buckets - all the presence and peace of mind you're seeking is on other side of your discomfort.

In my own cries for others to wake up to my humanity and the humanity of other black and brown people, I learned that I had to wake up too. It's shocking at times how distant we can become from our fellow man. And the more distant we become from the other, the more distant we are from our own true grace.

In this episode of Stories to Wake up To, I talk about the shift that the world is experiencing with the Black Lives Matter movement and my own evolution on the subject.

In this episode, we speak with the author of Get Your Head Out of Your Asana, Jason Revere, about his spiritual journey, his take on the yoga world, and his experience living life after his awakening.

As you can guess by the name of his book, Jason is full of energy and unafraid to share his perspective on all things spirituality.

He's also got a spectacular sense of humor, which helps when you're challenging the basis upon which most people live their lives.

Somehow, we humans can make anything complicated and exclusive.

We create Gods that only prefer certain people.

We develop spiritual practices that are the best and only spiritual practices that should be practiced.

We limit and take ownership over the universal power that flows through us all.

We make cliques of those who are spiritually advanced (the ones who get it, and those who misunderstand what spirituality really is (the ones don't get it).

Well, this week Ali and Erica are over it. We're inviting all spiritual folks (ourselves included) to cut the shit. 

It's time to stop looking outward at all of the lost souls and start looking inward toward our own individual spiritual compasses.

Because the truth is: life is the only spiritual practice we need. The spiritual evolution we are seeking is in each situation that presents itself to us on a moment-by-moment basis.

Let now be the only spiritual practice you need. Simple right.

One of the biggest reasons why we fail to reach our potential is that we believe that our potential is somewhere out there in the future. Even the generally accepted definition of potential makes it some shiny future object.

But...what if your potential can only be achieved in this moment?

What if the only way to create a future that you'll love is to move your butt without hesitation whenever the energy hits you, rising up to align with the highest expression of your being in this moment?

Ali and Erica love to challenge how we as a society commonly understand certain ideas.

We.

Love.

It. 

And in this episode, we challenge what you may believe about potential and share our three step process for exploding yours!

Join us!

Sometimes you've got to take a long, hard look at your life and admit that it's not what you want it to be.

We do not do this to berate and guilt ourselves, rather we do it because the first step to changing things is to admit there is a problem. 

This week Erica and Ali take a look at why we fail to reach our potential moment after moment, year after year.  

So if you're dreams of yesterday are still your dreams for tomorrow, then this episode is for you. It's time to RISE UP and peacefully and joyfully focus yourself on the truth of your predicament and your potential.

When things get tough, do you still feel stuck even after all of your personal development work?

Seriously, how is that we can be coaches, meditators, self-improvement/personal development junkies...

how is possible that we could have overcome so many trials and tribulations with so many aha moments in this life...

and still be frustrated, confused, fearful, rageful when life spins out of control?

This story called the The Professor and the Old Sailor or Swimology (author unknown) reveals one reason why this may be the case for many of us in times of personal (or global) crisis.

We always have choices...even in uncertain times.

Many times though, we forget how expansive our choices are. 

We limit ourselves based on what we think is possible. Based on past experiences. Based on what we believe we should be doing. 

We forget that we are limitless.

We forget that we are supported by a force much greater than ourselves. 

Let me say that again. We are supported. 

Doesn't that feel good? Just the thought of it? 

This episode is inspired by a conversation that the amazing @luvvie had with her therapist about re-seeing her approach to being during these unprecedented times. 

When we first read Luvvie's Ajayi post about this conversation, we loved the sentiment that her therapist shared with her. It was #verySheKings. 

And when @randomlyseekinglife asked us to dive a bit deeper on this topic, we didn’t hesitate. Such a good one. 

Sink or Swim? But what about floating?

Depressed or Determined? But what about trust?

Floating is trusting.

It is being held and supported.

Remembering that the energy that you use to create is the energy you have to hold to keep the creation.

Check out this episode to hear us explore what it would look like to approach life from the float state?
