February 13, 202384: Body Image: A Candid Conversation - With Health Coach Alison M. Scott
Have old comments or societal beauty standards ever caused you to feel self-conscious about your body?

Perhaps, even unknowingly, you may have an inner dialogue that dwells on an old, usually untrue, criticism.

Do you ever scrutinize yourself in a mirror or spend time worrying about your looks?

Or might your opinion about your body sometimes hold you back from certain activities or engagements?

For different reasons, it could be a thread that weaves through the various stages of our lives.

That's so relatable and incredibly common, especially in our social media world of filters and appearance-based evaluations.

The problem is that it can really hold you back - and maybe even more than you realize.

Health Coach Alison M. Scott and I are so passionate about this topic.

It's time to live freer, enjoy life more, and reclaim these beautiful, miraculous bodies of ours!

January 30, 202382: I Have Self Esteem - So Why Do I Still Have Self-Doubt Sometimes? Part 4
This is the final episode of our series on:

I Have Self-Esteem - So Why Do I Have Self-Doubt Sometimes?

This series carries a special invitation to those of you who have already done a lot of personal development work, but once in a while you have a bit of self-doubt (who doesn't?).

It is also for the leaders, mentors, therapists, role-models, etc - those of us who encourage others in knowing their self-worth.

My guess is that you likely have solid self-esteem -which is great, because self-esteem can be incredibly valuable.

However, is it enough to afford you all the aspects of life and love that you are really hoping for?

Are you expressing yourself freely and to your fullest extent - both literally and metaphorically?

There may, in fact, be a deeper layer that has gone unaddressed which could present barriers to the life that you really want to experience.

This message is core to my work, and it's at the very center of my heart. I've been wanting to bring these messages to you for a long time.

I've had the privilege of seeing lives expressed so much more fully when we can get into and sort out these very nuanced spaces.

I'm really looking forward to delving in and journeying these paths with you!

January 02, 202378: Identifying One Lesson You've Learned in 2022 with Guest Co-Host Raphaela Browne
What did you learn in 2022?

It can be extremely empowering to reflect upon, name and share the lessons that you have learned.

You can then recognize the value of your time as well as acknowledge your bravery, insights, revelations, accomplishments, shifts in mindset, etc.

It also can afford separation from old, confining narratives that may have been hanging on.

Today Raphaela Browne and I share some deep truths regarding lessons that we've each learned in 2022. As for me, this may be my most vulnerable share.

Because of the beautiful feedback we've been receiving, we decided to kick off the year by creating a space where we all can really be real.

We felt that starting 2023 with a nod to trust and connection would be resonant to what The Imaginal Podcast set out to be.

I personally want to wish you a very Happy New Year and send my heartfelt wishes for all the paths ahead of you in 2023.

Thank you, as always, for being with us.

December 26, 202277: Belonging: Finding a Place to Be Real with Guest Co-Host Raphaela Browne
Today Raphaela Browne and I switched our topic at the last minute in order to honor the real emotions that were suddenly present for us.

On the day of this recording, we had just heard about the passing of Stephen 'tWitch' Boss and were greatly saddened. He is someone we have both admired and appreciated.
Rather than trying to push ourselves into a place of inauthenticity, we decided to speak into the need for belonging and how important it is to create places where we can be real with what we're going through.

Today we speak about how important it is to find our ways to each other.

You're not wrong when you're experiencing grief or going through a hard time. It is our hope that this podcast is a place where we can be with those feelings and hold space for each other.

It's important to know that you are not alone - and how important it is to be in a space of love.

We are remembering and honoring Stephen 'tWitch' Boss and sending our deep care to his family and loved ones.

December 19, 202276: Might You Have Self-Imposed Limitations? Part 3 - with Guest Co-Host Dan Loney
I'm so pleased to have Dan Loney back to finish our series on self-imposed limitations.

Today we discuss how you can unlock new truths by questioning your previously held subconscious beliefs.

We also touch on how various inequities might impact each of us.

What possibilities lie on the other side of your own unconscious limitations? How might that change your life as well as your contributions?

I send both my empathy and emboldening support as you consider these things.

Dan Loney is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing out of San Diego, California. He specializes in identity work and helping people free themselves from stuck states. Over the past 14 years, he has been committed to developing content to help people connect more deeply to themselves and others. He is an accomplished athlete - competing in both soccer and tennis leagues, while also recently taking a deeper dive into yoga and breathwork.

December 12, 202275: Might You Have Self-Imposed Limitations? Part 2 - with Guest Co-Host Dan Loney
Today Dan Loney, licensed marriage and family therapist, is back to continue our conversation about self-imposed limitations, which we also refer to as "soul limitations."

What kinds of limitations might you unknowingly be agreeing with?

And again, I ask this with kind curiosity, not with criticism.

Might there be something that is limiting you because of a certain belief or perception?

We honor why we have come to believe these things, while at the same time question if it's really true.

What could be the impact if you looked beyond a held limitation or considered moving through it?
