How many times have you had a child or friend or partner ask you to put your phone down and listen to them? How many times have you felt ignored as someone texted while you talked? So many of my clients tell me with tears in their eyes that they've missed so much connection to other human hearts because they've been caught up in the digital world. In this episode of the Heartwood Treehouse Podcast, discover some simple ways you can bring your whole self to more moments of your life.

Fear is one of the most destructive forces on earth. The problem with fear is that it’s a chameleon that can mask itself in all sorts of ways. And it can erupt in behaviors long before we’re conscious of the fear driving us.

Our bodies let us know in all sorts of ways that they want us to slow down. To notice our lives. To lead with our hearts. But this is hard to do in a culture that values productivity, speed and efficiency at the expense of our own inner knowing.  Tune in to this week's Heartwood Treehouse episode to practice tapping in to your body's wisdom so you can create greater alignment and wholeness. Once we start listening, it's miraculous what can shift.

What if we motivated ourselves to action with kindness instead of cruelty? If you're regularly hard on yourself, then this episode is for you. Know someone with a harsh inner voice? Please share this with them so they can discover there's another way.

You have a tremendous impact on other people. What you think and what you do matters. In fact, your thoughts and emotions can quickly go viral. If you want other people to feel empowered, you can.
