Episode Notes:

“How do I start to feel joy again after a deep loss in my life?”

I’m coming up on a special anniversary this week. On December 10, 2017, I said goodbye to my Mother for the last time. I’m grateful to have had a close relationship with her, especially in her final years. This has made a huge difference as I’ve traversed the grieving process, but I still miss her a lot.

Just the other day, an extremely deep urge to have a long, lingering conversation with her arose within me. I hadn’t been thinking of her more than usual, and this was a powerful desire to connect. Then I remembered that a week later would be the anniversary of the day she passed. I got chills.

This week’s Q&A episode goes deeper than usual as I share some of the tools I pull out when I’m in the midst of the grieving process and the ups and downs that follow.

In This Episode You Will Hear about:

• The backstory leading up to this tragic loss
• How being honest with your feelings is needed in the healing process
• Why I’m so passionate about speaking up for your needs
• Gifts from the grieving process
• How to finally start living again

Episode Notes:

“Being grateful doesn’t mean that you need to stay where you are. It just makes being where you are much more enjoyable for you - and for everyone you interact with.”  -Sheila Botelho

How are you? 
We’ve all experienced so much change this year - It feels like there’s been more change than any other year. So when you think about how you’re doing, your brain needs to filter through all the change and transition to get to the answer. It also has a way of masking all that you’re grateful for in the process. 

In This Episode You Will Hear about:

• The place where gratitude emerges from
• How being honest with yourself makes space for positive thoughts
• A new way of approaching your daily interactions for more gratitude
• A fun new resource I’ve made for you to connect more deeply to yourself

Episode Notes:

Today I’m talking about the vital topic of taking action without imposing massive pressure on yourself and beating yourself up.

During the days of struggle, I find that the more I sit and try to brainstorm or focus a way out of a problem or identify all the steps I need to take to move forward, I get nowhere. I’m grateful for this action and productivity hack - even though I often forget to use it and waste SO much time:

Change your environment, get moving, and give your brain a break.

What challenges in your personal and professional life have you stumped? What would it feel like to release the pressure you’ve been putting on yourself all this time?

In This Episode You Will Hear about:

• Breaking the cycle of spinning your wheels
• 3 places I’ve found that boost creativity and problem solving
• Some lovely brain and sleep science to put it in perspective
• One source of help it’s easy to forget that is very powerful

Episode Notes:

“Why even bother having a self care habit practice right now?”

The question I’m focusing on this week originated in a message exchange with Laura. She had been asking about how to stay consistent with her self-care when her schedule kept changing. 

I understand how she feels. Lately, just when you begin to feel settled into some sort of routine, life changes and you feel uprooted again.

This week’s Q&A episode shares some reasons why I not only believe it’s still worth doing, but how it can be beautifully life-changing. 

In This Episode You Will Hear about:

• How my self-care practice helped me gain clarity on my life’s purpose
• The 5-minute rule that’s life-changing
• Connecting the dots from small actions to big results
• 5 Questions to creating more space in your day and life

Episode Notes:

What are you putting off until you feel like doing it?

It feels so much easier to do the easy things. The things that don’t challenge us. If you keep getting nudges in your soul that you need to be doing something, follow that curiosity and take a step. If it’s in alignment for you, you’ll know the moment you get moving.

Today I share how to motivate yourself from within to make forward progress - without muscling through. 

In This Episode You Will Hear about:

• The trap you can find yourself in when you’re afraid to take a step forward.
• An example of moving past emotion toward important action
• 3 questions to ask yourself to fuel your momentum

Episode Notes:

“I really believe that our feelings give us our experience of life. When we sit with the discomfort, it shifts and doesn’t stay stuck. It actually moves through us.” -Danielle Brooker

If you want more joy in your life, you’ll love today’s episode! 

Danielle Brooker is a Joy Coach, working with highly ambitious, stressed-out women in their 30s who are stuck at a crossroads. She takes them from questioning “should I or shouldn’t I quit my job?” to living a joyful life regardless of what job they’re in.

Spending over a decade building a career in economics and policy, working for government and health charities - she kept finding herself in great jobs she didn’t feel great in, questioning what her next “career move” should be. A stressful burn out led her to take time away from work, and to begin to build a new relationship with “busy” to get back to feeling like herself again. 

Her business, The Daisy Patch, offers a range of support from private coaching programs and group masterminds, to digital courses, and her podcast, Let It Shine.

In This Episode You Will Hear about:

• Why Danielle moved from Australia to England
• How tuning into how you’re really feeling can lead you towards your dreams
• A story of moving from stress to joyful satisfaction
• What holding grief and joy at the same time can look like
• Real life tools to bring more joy into your every day
