The Imaginal Podcast

I had one of those really hard weeks - where just when you think nothing else could go wrong, something else does.

Even when you know that tough times will pass, sometimes they can really shake you up.

All of this reminded me of the importance of being able to come home, both literally and metaphorically.

That's the topic of this week's episode.

Where do you turn when you feel unsteadied or overwhelmed?

What does home mean to you? And how can we create and nurture places that allow us to feel held, be known and remember what is true?

I hope this week's conversation will welcome you home.

As important and empowering as it is to go after your dreams, it's also so valuable to live your life in the ways that you want to experience it.

Today, I wanted to do a check in to see if there's anything that may, even unknowingly, be stealing your happiness.

I'm not talking about forced positivity or shallow happiness, as I believe that all emotions are valid and to be honored.

This is more about how sometimes unnecessary heaviness could prevent you from enjoying the day as much as you deserve to.

Do you ever find that you're stuck, resistant, avoidant or hesitant to move into something?

It's my belief that there's a fundamental shift that is often quite vital to make in order to feel freer in your decisions and less fearful or guarded in your pursuits.

Too many choices are left unmade, too much art is abandoned and too many things are left unsaid.

I am so passionate about your actualization.

You have my full belief and support.

Do you ever feel guilty when you're not being productive? Or feel that you can't take a break to have fun or rest?

While work, dedication and productivity can be great things to prioritize, sometimes our lives can tilt out of balance when we don't also find the time for rest, recreation, fun and enjoyment.

As you join in the discussion, we invite you to be mindful of your narratives around fun and rest.

What impact could it have on your life if you dedicated more time to recreation?

Today the delightful Leslie Page is back to offer her insights!

How do you know if you are people pleasing, and how might your life change if you could let some of that go?

If you find yourself in a difficult season or a challenging situation, remember that you don't have to do it all.

Sometimes our fast-paced society mixed with our good intentions can cause us to feel like we have to push through everything.

Today's episode is a gentle reminder to give yourself permission to let some things go so that you can look after yourself.

It can be quite natural for adults to make decisions on behalf of children. Very often, those decisions may be out of necessity or good intention.

Whatever the case, today we invite you to question the impact that those decisions may have had on you?

In many cases, those decisions had a wonderful impact. Today we query if, even unintentionally, any decisions that were made on your behalf might have eclipsed a part of you.

Jody Hironaka is back again with her researched expertise along with her delightful personal anectdotes.

It's our hope that this discussion may spur your reflection and reclamation.

We also believe that these contemplations may help us to show up more thoughtfully in the lives of others too.
