It's harvest time here in Utah and those seeds that were planted back in spring are producing like crazy.  It's hard to believe how much can grow from tiny little well-cared for seeds.  This week we talk about planting seeds of growth in the midst of struggle.  Often times when we're in challenging situations we feel stuck and isolated.  By considering the ways in which we might grow in through those challenges we can cultivate a sense of momentum and hope.  This week I teach that principle and then walk you through a meditation to cultivate your own seeds of growth.

This week we compare mental distractions to exits on a freeway, noting the way that these different tangents can pull us out of the present and prevent us from experiencing the ease, contentment, and spontaneity that come with truly being in the moment we're in.  After listening you'll have a few ideas on how to avoid Self-Deprecation Drive and Worry Avenue in order to build presence and resilience for you and your companions on the highway of life.  Feel free to join the conversation on Instagram or email me at [email protected] and share which exits you tend to take most frequently!

Come along on a discussion about how to hold space for seemingly opposite states of being.  Every day there are experiences that are inviting us to practice integrating emotions and perspectives that seem to be in conflict.  When we can take an intentionally mindful perspective we can be present and integrate, synthesize, and create solutions and understanding which leads us to growth.  In a time when we're feeling polarization in our own hearts and in our culture, it's crucial that we learn to occupy the middle path, the path of integration.

It's easy to get mired in weakness.  We all do it.  We give ourselves a hard time for all the things we do wrong and we often get stuck thinking that we're the only ones struggling with a particular weakness or that if we let our weaknesses show it would make us unlovable.  This week's episode encourages you to change your relationship with your weaknesses. Listen for ideas on how to gentle accept them and stop stressing out about hiding them.  The Brene Brown TedTalk I reference can be found here.
