The Whole Point

We are enjoying all this extra time with family, for the most part.  But on day (what day is it?) of isolation what do we talk about now?  How to make this time count?  The majority of us have no clue!  But we WANT to. We WANT to feel close to our spouse and kids. We WANT to feel seen and heard in our relationships.

So we’re going to give you a game plan- and be the guinea pigs! This week we answer 5 questions to foster closeness out of a list of 36 that we’re sharing with you.  These questions run the gamut from funny to deep and we know they will add a little something to the conversations in your social distancing.  Try them with your family, try them with your friends on Zoom and let us know how it goes.

How are you doing with social media? We’re finding it harder to navigate lately! If you notice that you’re getting angry or fearful or overwhelmed while scrolling, you’re not alone. It’s not really possible to get offline 100%, so what do we do? Today we talk about how to handle staying connected without being constantly triggered.

We’d love to hear about how you’re doing. Have you made some rules to protect yourself from overwhelm on social media? Also, we’re curious- What have you been hearing from your inner voice lately?

Christy mentions Ekhart Tolle’s book ‘The Power of Now’

Cyrina mentions Matt Kahn’s book ‘The Universe Always has a Plan, the 10 Golden Rules of Letting Go’

This week we got coached!  Live, on the podcast. Cristina Roman is amazing as she brings both of us clarity, wisdom, and actionable steps. She shares so many ideas for how to process and reframe how we’re dealing with life right now. We get some powerful insight about why Cyrina is making videos and then deleting them…. And how Christy can be less ADD…

You’re going to love Cristina, be ready to take notes!

Cristina Roman is a Washington, DC-based Certified Life Coach who specializes in helping clients overcome procrastination. She works with distracted, rushed, overwhelmed professionals to free up their time and energy, so that they can finally refocus on that thing they've put on the back burner. (If that's you, you can download the quick-start guide for getting into a deep work state in 15 minutes at piquecoaching.co/deepworkstate.) She half-jokes that she’s the Cross Legged Coach; her goal is always to keep things casual but wildly impactful for her clients.

We are taking a quick time out to talk about what we've been experiencing as our lives have shifted due to Covid-19.   We are highlighting our very different experiences as we both listen to directions from our intuition right now.

This episode is all about permission to be where you are right now.  To trust the inner guidance you're getting, even if no one else seems to be getting it.  And we talk about permission to quit doing things that add stress!

We are here. We are still talking and hoping that it resonates. We are doing our best and trusting that that is enough.  And Christy is taking care not to hurt her "bathroom muscles" any more!

We trust that the right guests come to us at the right time. In light of everything going on in the world, we are especially aware of this timing. As Cyrina was editing this episode last night- way too late because she watched way too much news- against her own advice!- She was amazed at how much Caitlin’s message resonates. Right now. With all that’s going on in the world.

Let us know if it resonates with you! We all need ‘Bouncebackability’ to get through this time. Listen to hear practical steps and encouragement that each one of us needs today.

What does it look like to have a beautiful life? Jen Rottmann talks about leaving the 6 figure business she started to find out what it means for her. Dancing, teaching, speaking and modeling are included on the path she now follows. She shares the idea of surrendering into your destiny instead of making it happen, as well as ego vs. grace and the messy middle.

Jen Rottmann has a simple mission: To share with you the tools and secrets she’s discovered in living a beYOUtiful life on your terms! From her own journey she learnt that the key to a beautiful life is building a strong foundation in connecting with your INNER BEAUTY & POWER.

Human Design gives you permission to be yourself! This week Stacy explains to us how our charts compare to each other, why we work well together and how we complete each other! If you grabbed your chart with us last week, it’s time to compare notes with a friend, spouse or child today! It’s crazy how accurately Stacy tells us how we’re behaving and then WHY, which is the most important part.

We talk about how it relates to us doing the podcast together, how it can be hard to brand yourself, how some people actually aren’t designed to work alone, while others are, and how to be more comfortable with being uncomfortable. Stacy is a wealth of knowledge.

She works with people who are experiencing or wishing for change in their life, helping them navigate a current change or initiate a desired one. She started her own journey of personal development while working as a chemical engineer. Looking to balance her analytical skills, she studied ways to improve her intuition and both worked and studied with several different coaches. The time invested to better know herself has been life changing.
