It's really a paradox that we all want things to be easy but deep down, we believe that things either cannot or should not be easy. It's crazy really, the truth of it. 

We're told to: "be responsible." And fun, ease, and joy are not apart of what we include in the description of responsible living, are they? Honestly, what do you think about when you think of responsibility? Probably ideas like: getting up early, working hard, no pain no gain. 

What a contradiction. What we truly want is diametrically opposed to how we're supposed to live. 

We're told to: "meet certain goals so that you can relax." But the relaxing part, well it never really comes. The rules change don't they? 

As soon as you reach one goal, surprise the next one is right behind it. 

Best selling authors who initially only wanted to be published are now scared to publish again because this one's gotta be better than the last. 

Stress to create something good. Stress around how it will be received. Stress when it is received well. Stress when it is received poorly. Stress to create again. Stress to hide your head in the sand. 

Geezus! When does it stop? 

Well, it doesn't...not until you decide for yourself that enough is actually enough. It stops when you decide to choose the path of joy, the path of ease, the road less traveled in this world full of sheep.

Soooo...are you afraid to be criticized? 

Or are you worried about what "they" will say if you show up and shine bright? 

In a world where it's sexy to criticize others behind their backs...

In a world where there are actual trolls living in their moms' actual basements casting aspersions from behind a keyboard...

It's no wonder people are constantly on edge when it comes to receiving criticism. 

But here's the deal: you've got to be willing to jump into the fire of criticism if you truly want to live. Maybe some of it's true. Maybe it will help you to evolve. Definitely being unafraid to receive it will help you to evolve. 

Whether you're in the group of people who are afraid to face how you're showing up in the world so you run from disapproval...

OR you're in the group of people who's afraid to act on the whispers of your soul because judgment sucks...

We invite you to welcome in the feedback and be free.

In this episode, Ali and Erica discuss and distinguish between what we think about cultivating silence versus what it really means to do so. Many times we think about stillness/silence/emptiness as depression or a waste of productive time. But the truth is that inviting more silence into your silence tends to bring you closer to peace of mind. Clarity in your life comes through allowing in the silence.

Did you come to the spiritual path to help you deal with a problem in your life. Ali and Erica sure did. And we find that many of our clients are doing the same. A problem arises however when we take this concept too far. Many begin to believe (consciously or subconsciously) that "improvements" and adjustments to their spiritual practices will result in greater comfort in their physical lives. Stated differently, we start to think that if we could just become "better people" we would experience lives free of pain and suffering. 

In this episode, Ali and Erica discuss how to uncover this thinking and suggest possibilities to release it.

Well, Ali wanted to talk about why goals fizzle. Erica wanted to talk about why goals suck. Let's see if they can meet in the middle on this one...or whether the SheKings just argue the whole time. As if...

We’ve waited a while to cover this issue. We’ve spent years railing against the law of attraction as it is taught...with all these rules and complications. It's time we stop looking for a way to issure that life goes the way we want it to...there is no way to do so. Zip. Zero. Zilch. 

Join us on this episode of SheKings to learn our top 10 reason why the law of attraction is for the birds. Don’t worry, we give an alternative. Kind of. 

And if you’re interested in getting through the holiday season with some SheKings flair (read that: no drama), check out episode 4!

Being crazy enough to live life with reckless abandon doesn't mean living life stupidly. It means being crazy enough to do what you're called to do. It means being present enough to live life fully - whatever you're doing. 

In this episode, we encourage you all to explore your joy rather than convincing yourself to be safe, secure (read that: boring, dead). 

Wake up and live!

What happens when you wake up to the fact that you're only loving the "good parts" of yourself? 

How do you accept the shit you don't like: the smallness, the bitchiness, being overweight, hating certain aspects of your job, being a wife, a parent, a caregiver? 

We guarantee that for most people, when you say you love yourself, you're talking about the go-getter you, the inspired you, the compassionate you. But the truth is, there's a whole lot more to you than that. And until you learn how to embrace the "shitty" parts, you'll never know the wholeness and greatness that this life has to offer. 

This week we highlight the disconnect between what we say about loving ourselves and how we actually show up to love ourselves. And we leave with homework that is guaranteed to rock your world. 

Can't wait to hear your feedback and breakthroughs!

Love, 

the SheKings

Doesn't it get tiring looking around at other people - their stuff, their accomplishments, their relationships? It's never-ending. When we learn to stay in our own lane, we learn how to be happy. 

Why do we compare ourselves to others and what is the difference of comparing yourself and being inspired by someone?

Join us for episode 2 as we take a deep dive into the kill joy of comparing.
