The New Sensitive

Hello, Soothers! Today's podcast is a replay of an IGTV training I did on how sensitive people can begin to overcome perfectionism, people-pleasing and fear to contribute more meaningfully to social justice and the fight against white supremacy.

Because the audio is taken from Instagram it's not great, so my apologies, but I hope you find value in the content. In the podcast I discuss:

• 5 reasons why sensitive people may struggle with engaging as much as they want to in politics and social justice work
• 8 tips to begin to make it easier
• My 6-step personal framework for how I approach my own anti-racist education and participation in change

Also, three of my courses are now open for enrollment at The Sunday Soother School of Intentional Living! The courses are... 

• Intentional + Intuitive Goal-Setting
• Intentional + Intuitive Dating 
• Creative Self-Recovery: A Group Journey Through The Artist's Way

Courses are open for enrollment through January and will start in early February, so get on in there!

The Sunday Soother is a spin-off the popular newsletter, The Sunday Soother, a weekly newsletter that creates conversations around compassionate personal development and helps readers access their spirituality and mindfulness in practical, actionable ways.

Every week, I read my Sunday Soother newsletter as a bonus podcast episode. In today's episode, I explore why receiving and asking for help can be so hard for some of us, and why we may have been taught to see going it alone as virtuous.

Hello, Soothers! In this podcast episode, I dive into the arenas of group therapy and group coaching. Why WOULD you want to get in a room with a group of strangers and share parts of yourselves? Well, listen in, and you'll see. I talk about my own 8 years in group therapy and the benefits and transformation it provided me; the two group coaching programs I run (that are open for enrollment now!) and how they've changed my life and those of the women who have participated; and the three kinds of people who, in my opinion, may especially benefit from group coaching.

Every week, I read my Sunday Soother newsletter as a bonus podcast episode. In today's episode, I explore why many of us struggle with self-improvement and goal-setting: because we're only offered two options. I want to create a middle path.

Hello Soothers! In this episode, recorded on New Year's Eve 2020, I talk about the things that worked wonderfully for me in 2020, and enriched my life — and where things didn't work, or I didn't make the sort of progress I had thought I would in the year.

Looking for some guidance about how to set intuitive and authentic goals in 2021? Today, I'm sharing the audio from a training I did recently where I guided folks through reflections, journaling, and a model for goal-setting to aim for nourishing, intentional goals in the coming year.

You can access the workbook I use in this training at this link. [PDF]

I kick off with introductions and an overview of my end-of-year reflection formula and goal-setting approach. Then there's a spot in the training where folks journaled silently for about 45 minutes, which I've edited out, but I encourage you to hit pause on the podcast when it comes up to do your own journaling. Finally towards the end doing some sharing and I do a bunch of Q&A from attendees about intuition, goal-setting, overcoming perfectionism, and more!

In last week's episode, #73: How to use "thought work" to overcome negative thinking, I explained the self-coaching thought model that you can begin to use to start creating more intentional, supportive and positive thoughts. The model is great, but when you're first using it, it can really be hard to figure out new thoughts you'd like to think. In this episode, I offer my thoughts and tips on how you can overcome negative, unintentional thoughts with new ways of creating your own thoughts.
