Like many people, since the Covid pause, I’ve been trying to figure out where I want to go from here. In this episode, I share the process I’ve been going through and some of the techniques that have served me and are now serving others.

Highlights

I share a dental experience I had that led to a concussion. It took a long time for me to understand how the dental experience had affected me.

When you’re trying to figure out what’s going on medically for you, it helps to remember that there isn’t just one answer. Look back at your personal medical history and notice when you recognize a connection to something.

It’s complicated because there are so many interconnected systems in your body-mind, and only you can get in touch with what’s going on.

I have come to trust that there is a solution for every problem.

As a result of sharing this story with others, I’ve come to understand what in my heart I want to do – which is to help people understand who they are and how to communicate with inner guidance.

I shared this story because you may not realize how valuable who you have learned to be can be to other people – if you believe in yourself.

Many people recognize they have an inner voice, but they were afraid to follow it.

I talk about the technique I taught someone for going inside to listen to your body-mind and how the inner voice can lead you to what you need.

You have to try things out and don’t be afraid that they won’t work. That’s how you get to know what will work.

The answers for you are within you.

Let’s suppose you have been helping someone who is in a needy position and you don’t want to do it anymore. But you keep doing it so that you don’t abandon the person. Keep in mind that if you leave, someone else will fill that spot.

Remind yourself, if one of us has to be uncomfortable, it doesn’t have to be me. And the corollary is NO is a complete sentence.

You have the right to do what feels right to you.

Getting in touch with your self is the key to comfortable living so you can be led to the right answers for you.

Highlights

Audrey tells how and why she decided to lead people through procrastination and perfectionism.

One of the things that Audrey’s client’s home in on is a sense of incompleteness.

Perfectionism is a very specific survival strategy that people often used to get their needs met. As time goes on, the perfectionism either fades out or get stronger.

Law school is a place where perfectionism and skepticism develop.

Perfectionism is a learned behavior and doesn’t define who a person is.

Procrastination, like perfectionism, is another form of an excuse.

Procrastination kicks in the adrenaline, which gets people started.

How people recognize when they are letting their perfectionism or procrastination take hold.

Audrey shares how she works with people to help them let go of procrastination and perfectionism.

In this episode, I cover a number of topics including why exercise is just as good as medications for depression, why it’s important to get to know yourself, and understanding how you make the decisions that determine your life outcomes.

Highlights

What’s true for me might not be true for you.

I talk about an article I saw that stated that exercise is more effective than counseling or medication for depression.

How you make decisions and what you believe is true is true for you. These are different for every person.

You may be using a high level of emotion to make your decisions when someone else may not.

Critical thinking skills are important, and we aren’t teaching people how to develop those skills. How to examine what you believe to be true.

We are living in a time when truth is sometimes buried in belief and many of our actions are based on what we believe to be true.

Your brain is always trying to protect you and keep you alive but it may be leading you to make ineffective decisions.

What do you believe that may not be serving you in the best possible way?

Decide what you want to believe, then test the hypothesis. That’s the scientific method.

Sometimes, I discover that what I want to believe is true isn’t, and I have to be willing to look for other answers.

Test things out for yourself. Come to your own conclusions.

I talk about using your intuition to find out what you need.

Get to know yourself and your needs.

Don’t believe everything you hear. Question authority. Question your own beliefs.

You could never know what another person is thinking, so don’t assume that you do.

When you are willing to look at possibilities, then you will be in the right place.

We learn by trying things. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes.

There is no one who has your answers. Only you do.

Explore the emotions behind your decisions because those decisions are defining your life.

Don’t be afraid to be who you really are. You are unique – celebrate your uniqueness.

Nourish Yourself for Health & Happiness

In today’s episode I talk about something that affects your business and financial outcomes that goes beyond hard-core skills and mindset. It is important to learn how to tune into the energies around you and understand the quality of the energy you generate.

Highlights

How we develop early in life often affects the eventual decisions we make and our outcomes.

There is no one thing that is going to change your financial position or your life.

I define what I mean by personal energy and give some examples.

When you talk to people, is there an underlying sadness that even you aren’t aware of all the time?

I talk about the concept of how you are being in the world.

The foods that you are eating can affect your personal energy.

If your thoughts are very negative, that will tamp down your personal energy.

Energy around the world now is difficult and chaotic, which makes it even more important to understand your personal energy.

For today, I’m hoping you will increase your awareness of the energy you generate and the energy around you, all of which will affect your life outcomes.

Have the power to change things.

The episode in which I talk about the Heart of War vs Heart of Peace

The Anatomy of Peace

In this episode, I share some of my experiences as I go through the journey from who I’ve been to who I’m becoming and offer some insights I’ve gained along the way. I also talk about how self-awareness is a way to have a deeper, more impactful experience.

Highlights

I have been trying out being fully honest about who I am and I have learned that not everybody wants to hear it. I have certain adaptations as to how I present myself in certain situations.

The idea is to be able to share your ideas with others without expecting them to agree with you.

Instead of wanting other people to understand me, I first have to understand them and who they are.

I see that we often adapt who we are to the different people we are with. We all have multiple personalities within us – and that’s okay.

It takes self-awareness to be okay with who you are, wherever you are, and to be okay with whatever part of you is expressing itself.

Having self-awareness also allows you to decide which parts of you, you want to alter.

Self-awareness is really important for you to learn how to love yourself and to succeed.

As you mature, you develop self-awareness if you take the time each day to spend time with yourself.

By spending time with yourself, you can begin to recognize your inner power. This allows you to become more aware of others so you can comfortably be with them without judging who they are.

I share an emotional experience I had after being honest with people I’ve known for a long time and sharing something they didn’t know about me. The results were positive.

Have you ever given yourself permission to be and to embrace who you really are? When you do, you’ll activate your inner power and find your true expression.

You can feel safe and peaceful even in this crazy world that we’re all living in now.

Everything we are going through is helping us become who we are becoming.

Past episodes with Daniel Lieberman:

            Communicate with Your Subconscious Using Numbers & Tarot

            Science, Ancient Magic & The Unconscious Mind

While reading Spellbound by Dr. Dan Lieberman, who I interviewed in the last episode, I was struck by the sentence, “The purpose of life is to become your true self”. I have been thinking about that a lot and, in this episode, I share some of my thoughts.

Highlights

Although you may share some characteristics with other people, no one is exactly like you. You are totally unique and perfect the way you are.

We are programmed to always be looking for people like us, yet it is our differences that can make life interesting.

I don’t think that our uniqueness has been celebrated enough.

A lot of our societal loneliness is due to people not knowing how to know love themself.

We aren’t taught to appreciate our differences.

For business people, our businesses are an opportunity for us to learn more about ourselves.

Because of the Covid pause, a lot of people are evaluating their lives and what’s important to them. They’re also asking, “What do I want to do now and who do I want to be or become?”

I talk about the process I’ve been going through in putting together my new business.

In business, we have to learn how to interact with other people who are not us.

Everything you do in business is your opportunity to learn more about who you are, your values, and who you were willing to be in the world.

Giving ourselves permission for self-exploration is one of the greatest gifts we can give to ourselves.

You have the right to love and take care of yourself.

Each one of us is given what we need to become who we’re becoming, and that’s different for every person.

You have the opportunity to ask yourself, “What do I want to keep and what do I want to change?” It’s important to not judge that which you want to change as bad.

Getting in touch with yourself is one of the most important things you can do.

In today’s episode, I present different ways that you can explore – and become who and how you want to be. No one else can give you the answers YOU need, you have the power and ability to find those for yourself. Don’t expect miracles because it takes time to shift from where you are to where you want to be.

Highlights

Spontaneous healings can happen, but they are rare. The healing process is just that, a process that takes time.

For something spontaneous to happen, you need to be in a position to have it happen, and that can be complicated.

When a “spontaneous” healing seems to take place, people don’t look any deeper into how that happens, and they call it a miracle. But it can have to do with the energy of the emotions that have been cleared.

When I do the energy treatments, I realized that I am making this sound of the discomfort that people in the group are experiencing.

Sometimes, when you have an energy treatment of any kind, other than feeling relaxed, you may not notice a change. But it’s possible you will be led to a solution or practitioner that will help you alleviate your physical discomfort.

Life is more complicated than anyone wants it to be. We want simple answers and quick solutions. There are multiple answers to any kind of dysfunction.

If your pain is helping you express hidden emotions, and you aren’t willing to look at the deeper causes of the pain, then you’re going to resist doing anything possible to stop the pain.

Although this all may sound complicated, one of the simple solutions is to learn how to communicate with yourSelf.

Is everyone meant to live a perfect, happy life? No. It depends upon what lessons you have to learn in this lifetime.

You have to decide who you want to be and how you want to be.

It is necessary to believe that I have the power to do what I want to do. It may not work out exactly the way I wanted it to, but if I don’t like where I am, I can change it.

Most of what you’re going through is what you need to get to know who you are.

I had to run away from the energy treatments. I do si I come to realize that they are an important part of me.

Asking the question either aloud or internally, how do I get to be the person I want to be, prompts your subconscious to lead you in the right direction.

No one else can know what you need to do or be to express your true self.

When someone asks for my help, my job is to help them find what’s true for them, not what’s true for me.

The energy treatments. I do that helps to release the part of you that knows what you need. One else can tell you what that is.

It’s best to learn to be okay with wherever you are and to not think that you’re not good enough

Catherine Chadwick is a mental fitness trainer with over 40 years of experience as a registered nurse, is a practitioner of applied positive psychology, a certified transformational coach, and the creator of The Sunshine Quotient®. She holds a third-degree black belt in traditional Japanese karate and loves neuroscience. Catherine is a lifelong learner and teaches what she refers to as the rules of the game - energy principles and universal laws. Her site is www.theartofselfcraftsmanship.org.

Highlights

Catherine Chadwick explains how recovering from a serious spinal injury she sustained while working as a nurse led her to doing the work she does today.

She came to understand that people haven’t learned how to take care of themselves because they aren’t taught about the body-mind-spirit connection.

The body-mind is an electrical-magnetic machine and it’s important to understand the principles of polarity.

One of the first things Catherine suggests is that people get in touch with and connect to their breath. She explains.

We are light beings who are constantly receiving and emitting energy. This principle is at the base of The Sunshine Quotient.

Emotions create a range of vibrations. The vibration of disappointment is very different from the vibration of satisfaction. You don’t get what you want if you are stuck in the lower vibrations.

The more people understand how the body-mind works, the easier it is to live intentionally.

Catherine explains the science behind how breath can regulate the nervous system.

What part of your lifestyle is affecting your thinking?

We discuss techniques for interrupting repetitive thoughts.

If you start out your day with gratitude and intention, you have a good chance of having a fabulous day.

In this episode, I take a look at what is going on in the world and share what I see as the problems within each of us that are contributing to the problems in the world. I suggest that if we learn to find peace within ourselves, we can contribute to creating peace in the world.

Highlights

Our combined emotions can affect our environment, including the weather because our emotions also affect our behaviors.

When we forget that we are all part of one humanity, we cause destruction in our lives.

There’s so much going on that, for the general population, there are feelings of powerlessness.

We have lost control of our lives because those who were supposed to take care of us are busy taking care of themselves.

People aren’t taught the coping skills that people need to deal with what’s going on at this point.

People need a sense of connection and togetherness, which often happens when dealing with the aftermath of a tragedy, such as a tornado.

When you are a small child, is not unusual for adults to squash your self-expression and try to get you to think and behave the way they want you to.

How can we form a functional society when those in charge often choose a group of people to classify as the outsiders, such as being done now with the transgender community?

Being angry and hateful and controlling doesn’t make for a functioning society.

What’s going on among people is just as chaotic as what’s going on with the weather.

Ask yourself, do I want to be the person that I really want to be? Are you willing to figure out how to do that? Do you want to be an angry person and contribute to the chaos?

The chaos is coming from us, not from externals like the weather, and it’s a matter of learning how to deal with what’s going on so we can change the energy that we're living in now.

I can’t be free If you’re telling me how to live.

Enough people have learned to find the peace within themselves, that if we join together, we can counteract some of the conflicting energy that exists now and help to bring forth peace.

If we all learn how to be peaceful within ourselves and with each other, it’s going to lead to a better world.

You have the power to decide who you want and how you want to feel, and with whom you want to interact.

Do you want to be part of the solution or part of the problem? Deciding to stay angry perpetrates the problem.
