In today's episode, I share an unconventional tip of how to connect to your intuition - I lay it all bare for you here and tell you about an intimate experience I had last year! This experience was one of the springboard moments for me making the leap and traveling for the rest of the year.

Like I said, it's unconventional - so I am not sure what to even write. Do me a favor with this one and listen to it. I promise it’s something actionable that you can do today 😉

And then please, do let me know if you try it, and how you feel!

In this episode I will be talking about listening to what your body is telling you and tapping into your intuition. How that intuition can lead us to know more of ourselves, how connecting to your intuition can, in turn, connect you to others and how listening to your intuition can make life easier instead of trying to rationalize everything. 

I’ll share how listening to my own intuition helped me with chronic pain and how I became the channel for feeling good and letting it be easy.  

Tomorrow I’m excited to share a tip that I haven’t talked about before and could be a bit unconventional. So I hope you tune in.

I’m excited to share that I will be releasing mini episodes calles Shorties every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. After doing shorter episodes before the holidays and realizing not only do they do really well and I like doing them, you all like them too, so here we go! 

In this episode I talk about becoming a chiropractor to help people but found there is something deeper going on with people’s physical pain that I wanted to treat. So, while I loved being a chiropractor, I left knowing it wasn’t my true path in life. 

You’ll hear about how listening to my intuition led me on a journey of traveling and experiencing an incredible transformation. 

I would love to help you by sharing what I’ve learned. Sharing tools and resources to connect to yourself and your intuition.

Join me tomorrow where I will share more tips about connecting to your intuition.

The word that came up when I was thinking about the year is “trust”…and that fits perfectly into why I don’t believe in resolutions. Resolutions cause a lot of damage, honestly, and a huge key for me in making the quantum-leap style changes I’ve undertaken in the last year was due in large part to the mindset shift of no longer allowing myself to buy into big, empty, uncommitted gestures. You need to get clear about the life you want, and the changes it will take - because often, a short term resolution won’t be able to get you there. Breaking promises to yourself - like new year’s resolutions - builds a pattern around a lack of self-trust, which leads to an unstable foundation and ultimately makes it hard to trust yourself on life decisions large and small.

When I think about what has changed and shifted for me in the past year, trust is really the key that changed everything. My mentor, whom I’ve had the ability to work with for several years, reflected to me that I can’t do anything without trust, and that working on my self trust was what I needed to make the changes I wanted to see happen. Trust requires emotional maturity and discernment - especially self trust, which is what I’ve really been thinking a lot about lately. 

The internal experience of trusting yourself is really simple, because it just looks like following through on the promises you make to yourself. On the flipside, when you say you’re going to do something and then you don’t do it, you can also easily cause a lot of damage to yourself. It requires a lot of patience and a strong will to build patterns that allow you to trust yourself. The first step for building back self trust is to become aware of where and when you break trust with yourself - this is different for everyone, and you need to show yourself compassion and grace in this process. Next, you need to build up a desire for fulfilling your promises to yourself, and you also need to understand the pain of what breaking trust with yourself is actually costing you.

Rationalizing breaking your self trust is just you validating an excuse, a lie, that you’ve told yourself. Earning back your self trust doesn’t need to be hard - it just takes persistence, and work. Focus on one or two things that you want to change, and just keep doing it inch, by inch, by inch, to make the life you want. I’ll be talking about this more in the coming weeks, because the internal experience of trusting yourself is so vital, and this is a great time of year to be thinking about it.

If this resonated with you, don’t be afraid to let me know! I would love to hear your thoughts on this episode. I teach this self trust theory and practice to my clients all the time, and I am eager to talk to more people all over the world, and to help more and more people choose the light that’s available to them. I’ll be creating new things and making some big changes in the podcast, so make sure you tune in to find our more!

About two years ago, I read an essay called 'Yourself" by Thomas Troward. Now this is from the early 1900's so some of the language can be a little hard to keep up with; however, there are certain lines that when I heard them, I couldn't unhear them (if you know what I mean). They just stuck with me.

The first line says: 'the livingness there is in being yourself'. I didn't know what that meant truly until this year. That livingness is something difficult to describe but once you feel it, you know it and no one can take that away from you.

I want to share this essay with you today in the hopes that you will recognize how special you are, even if you allow yourself to feel it for a short time. If you can't follow the words, just allow yourself to listen to the frequency and listen to it again as many times as you need! You can find the written words here:

Interestingly, I didn’t really “feel ready” to do this 2021 year-end reflection episode - because I take reflection super seriously, and I haven’t done my own personal reflection for this year yet. But that just goes to show that even within our lessons, there are lessons (not to go too “Inception-y” on you.) Truly, this whole year I didn’t feel ready to do the things that I did…but I did them anyway, and as a result I had to keep moving the endline on my personal and professional goals because I just kept achieving what I was setting out to do. 

You might not ever feel ready to do anything, but that’s really the essential meaning of being human. You can do anything, but not everything. Going outside your comfort zone is obviously uncomfortable, but that’s where the change comes from. Having lived a previously logical life, this year I’ve been working on thinking less, and feeling and doing more. I am not a rational person anymore, because privileging rationality over what makes sense in your soul holds you back from the changes you need to be making to move forward. I’ve had so many adventures in the last year, and it all seemed “random” at the moment, but that’s just because you can’t see the big picture for your life while you’re living it. If you let it, the fear and anxiety of your conscious mind stops you from leaning into the feeling of your life path; but you know the truth because you feel it, and if you’re able to listen to your body you can learn to communicate with yourself better and to better know that truth feeling.

I’ve done so much healing this year in support of my life purpose, which is to help people discover the truth for themselves, and connect with their bodies - and I’ll be honing this more in 2022. Understanding your capacity, and knowing the difference between doing and being is something I talked about in the last Teaching Thursday episode because all of the emotions you’re generating when you’re operating over capacity need to be expressed one way or another, and that can come through in your circumstances, environment, and your body - whether you want them to or not. Health is an inner game, and that’s what I want to leave you with from this year. Ask yourself, “Am I in alignment, mind, body, and spirit? If not, what is that doing to your capacity?” If you’re listening to this podcast, you’re clearly into growth and development - but you need to stay connected to the goal of transforming your life. 

I want to help you go deeper with these lessons in your life, and that’ll be a focus for me in 2022. If you’re someone who is motivated to make changes and transform areas of your life with myself as your mentor and guide, I would be honoured to walk this journey with you.

The end of the year which can feel like the busiest time of year and the holiday season always overlap - and as a healthcare provider I was surprised to hear a lot more stories about stress than I was hearing about joy...

It's easy to get caught up in the culture around showing up for everyone (work, family & friends) and then forget about yourself. I saw this way too much and the ending of that pattern is burnt out and getting sick in January. No one wants to use their sick days at the beginning of the year and I would see many ignore symptoms until issues became more serious later.

My point here is that I believe we need a culture reversal of what "home for the holidays" means. Home means taking care of yourself and your needs so that you can be there for others without burning yourself out!

If you get nothing else from this episode, I want you to intentional slow down over these next few days anyway you can!
