This Big Life Podcast

What drags you out of bed on days when you just don't feel it? Finding your "why" is a helpful tool to create an underlying purpose, but it isn't always as easy at it seems. And what happens if the "why" you come with isn't some perfect shiny altruistic thing? Does that matter? In this episode we dive into it all. And we laugh. A lot. Why? Because why not :)

Mentioned:

Money Isn't the Problem, You Are, by Dr. Dain Heer and Gary M. Douglas

Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action, by Simon Sinek

Find Your Why: A Practical Guide for Discovering Purpose for You and Your Team, by Simon Sinek

Gratitude can be one of the most powerful experiences available to us. Yet we can also gloss over it by placing it in the "should" category, and subsequently missing out on that experience. We explore all aspects of Gratitude in this episode, including why the ability to receive is so integral to Gratitude experience. We dive into the neuroscience, easy practices, and real life implications of it all. So put your thank you pants on, and join us for an episode that may just change everything for you.

Self Care in Relationships. What is it? How can we foster it? In this episode we look at the "shoulds", the power of rest, and how much other peoples' expectations can impact it all. Self care is more about the attitude and intent, and less about the actual activity. With this in mind we look the concept of shared space, and at the importance of filling your cup up first.

Gaslighting is a term being used more and more these days. In today's episode we look at what gaslighting is, and how far reaching the realm of disempowerment is in our culture, and within ourselves.

How do we know if we are being gas lit? Are there different types? What can we do about it? Do labels and conclusions play a role in all this? Join us as we explore these questions and more.

On today’s show, we are discussing trust, the importance of constantly asking ourselves key questions, and the stories we tell ourselves that keep us rooted in lack, or help us move into abundance. Along the way, we get into allowance, envy, increasing our capacity for discomfort, and the magic of gratitude and celebration. We talk about choosing our reactions consciously, and building a practice of giving into our lives in order to build our receiving muscles. And Dr. Stefan talks about a key question that has been important in his own life: “What contribution can I be here?”

In today's show, we talk all things intuition: what is it, how to use it, and the blocks we have against it. We explore the somatic aspects of "knowing", and how much our body can be leveraged to help us know what we know. We also jump into how this ties into our relationship with trust, and how a moment with a doughy dopamine hit (aka a cinnamon bun) became a massive learning experience for it all.
