I realized this week - after nearly two years of consistent weekly podcasting - that I've never actually directly tackled the subject of grief.  So here we are...

Grief is a universal emotion.  Live long enough, and you're going to experience a loss.  Why don't we talk about it more?

In this episode, we talk about: What's the grieving process like? What's the "right way" to grieve?  How do we support others in a grieving process?

One thing my husband has always said - the true definition of adulthood is learning how to enjoy yourself between moment of endlessly solving problems.

It's so easy to get lost in problems.  In pushing for more.  In struggling...daily.  And we forget the entire point of our travails - it's to enjoy the present moment.

If you're feeling stuck, like you've lost your ability to find joy or enjoy yourself, this episode is for you.

Today's episode is a highly personal one - and this is the first episode I've ever done completely unscripted.  Let's get real and raw today! We'll be looking at the idea of "red flags" and how - as humans - we tend to ignore them. Then what happens? 

Often, those red flags will add up over time, forcing us to either make a huge change in our lives, or to remain stuck. So what do we do when everything falls apart, because we've ignored those red flags for so long?

When we're going through a life challenge, it's easy to think we're all alone in our struggle.

But here's the thing - anything we've gone through is likely something that someone else has experienced at some point (and maybe even overcome).  We're human.  And part of being human is experiencing those challenges and those struggles - it's normal!  No one is so special that "they're the only one."

We are never alone.

Have you ever wanted to make a big shift in your life, but when you think about moving forward, all you can remember is advice or conventional wisdom telling you that it's not a good idea?

So many big changes only happen if we're willing to ditch the illusion of safety and start thinking outside of the box.

In this episode, we'll look at the trap of leaning into conventional wisdom, looking at some real life examples, and examine some strategies for getting unstuck.

Do you constantly feel like - whenever you're making headway in some personal or professional goal, that something ALWAYS seems to get in the way?

Yes, me too.

Rather than personalizing this, thinking that "the universe is out to get me," I think it's better to frame this as simply a byproduct of life itself.  In this episode, we look at how we have the tendencies to look at things as grand signs that we can't, when in reality, we need to give ourselves grace to realize that setbacks happen to us all. And that's perfectly NORMAL.

Why are we all so obsessed with the cult of youth if aging (and eventually dying) is the one inevitable thing in life?

In this episode - and I promise, it's not grim! - we explore this topic.  We look at ways to detach from the idea of what we should look like according to societal standards, and ways in which to look more toward our inner strength to define ourselves as we age.

I'm sure you've heard the saying "hard work always pays off."

Nope, I'm sorry.  It doesn't.  Not always.

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you feel like you're toiling away, never reaching your goal?  You just can't...get there.  And then you simply chalk it up to the "universe must be against me."

Nope.  That's not it either.

The issue is we have to direct our hard work in the right way.  And if we want things to change, we have to first change ourselves.

We explore this topic in this episode, using a real life example of a big time FAIL from my previous career as a musician/composer.

No one can possibly be happy, or optimistic, or fulfilled, or grateful, or passionate about like one hundred percent of the time.

A great fallacy that is sold to us from the personal growth industry is that we can "manifest" our best lives by thinking the right way all of the time, and that something might be wrong with us - that we need to GROW more - if we aren't happy all the time.

Guess what.  It's normal for happy, successful, fulfilled people to feel like poo every so often.  That's called being human.

In this episode, we look at better ways to frame our current state, to weigh the good with the bad, and to be grateful for what simply is.

It's the new year (happy 2023!), and undoubtedly a bunch of us out there have made some resolutions, which is a good thing!  It's always great to pursue new goals or want to make a change in your life.

However, a lot of us misplace our energy.  We look for the path of least resistance.  We look to someone to give us advice, tell us what to do, and the quickest way to get there.  Online gurus are likely the most common culprits of this type of information, and make a lot of incredible promises that if you just "follow their easy steps" you'll get to where you want to be.

FALSE.

In this episode, we'll look at the difference between a guru and an expert, why we need experts, and how to find them.  Stop wasting your time following gurus that promise things that sound to good to be true - they ARE.
