This Isn't Me

I wonder if you feel you're made for more?

This episode reminds you that the possibility exists to recognise, or simply DECIDE, that you’re made for more!

Brydie Stewart did! After working herself sick as a "type A over-achiever" the proverbial slap in the face of being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease woke her up to what she truly wanted. The hope in sharing this, and many other stories with you this season, is so that you're not left like Brydie saying, “I wish I heard the whispers”! 

Strap in for an episode that invites you to take ownership of your life! In Brydie's case, in doing so, she cleared disease from her body in a way which means she has never had to medicate for multiple sclerosis. You heard me right, by changing your life you can change your body! For Brydie Stewart that meant listening to herself and taking action towards what she wanted; it meant quitting her day job and letting mis-aligned friendships leave her life.

When I asked Brydie the not so simple question of, "How did you do it?" She simply stated, “I didn’t sit around and wonder what life would be like if I changed, I just got up and did it!” What if we all let it be THAT easy!? Taking action without knowing the outcome. 

She also shares some great tips on how to explore what's next for you in creating life and business anew! Like asking yourself what you love as a way to build what’s next; committing to self-care through practices like meditation and walking; listening to yourself; being embodied and confident to know YOUR right path; knowing and loving yourself; and creating a picture of the impact your work will have on the world as a way to stay on track. 

We also talk what hustle looks like; whether or not to "burn the boats" or keep a side hustle; self compassion over self- sabotage; mindset in business; being a business owner and a mother; how to hold an empowered perspective for your children; exploring life and work priorities; deciding return on investment in accordance with your values and deciding that you can have it all!

Thank-you Brydie for your reminder for each of us to believe in ourselves, “Because if you don’t believe in yourself no one will”!

What's the meaning of life, the universe and everything!? Only YOU can decide that!

So what do YOU choose to make YOUR life mean? What do you CHOOSE as your purpose, your mission, your dharma? Only YOU can decide that.

And you can change your mind, you can iterate again and again. You can do it messy and imperfectly. You can love yourself and be loved for your humanness!

Welcome to season 3 of This Isn't Me podcast, with updates and future directions, embodiment and empowerment messages, raw and vulnerable shares, as always.

Let's reframe whatever beliefs have been holding us back from becoming more of who we are and proclaim, "This is me!" again and again.

Want to feel free to choose the meaning for your OWN life?

Any control freaks out there? I see you! I get it, I totally feel you.

I've been that woman too! One who aimed to control so many uncontrollable elements in her world (and those in it). Much of it was outside of my awareness at the time, like I imagine it is for you too, right?

I've spent the last 15 months LETTING GO! And do you know what? Elsa had it right! It feels AMAZING to let go!

Never have I ever had so much ease, so much joy, so much passion, so much pleasure or so much love.

Never could I ever have forced my way into the life I live now. I love. I trust. And I LET GO!

It's in the letting go that I'm able to fully love and trust.

So I wonder what may be available to you, if you allowed yourself to let go? To know that what's meant for you will find you? To take action, with intention, without grasping onto the when, the where or the how? To allow yourself to take purposeful steps and trust the experience that gets you there?

What might be available to you, in work, in play, in love... in life!?

That feels like a deep sigh, finally released, doesn't it?

I share some strategies to help get you to that much needed complete exhale.

Sending you love on the ride, you got this babe!

Who else agrees it's time for NEW patterns in love and relating?

What if you made your OWN rules, or f%cked them off altogether? That sounds like freedom, doesn't it?

A fun episode with my special guest Karina Whelan! Karina interviews me, as we discuss our no rules, no "too much", no "too soon" version of dating, love and relationships!

That's right, being too much, too soon and f%cking off the rules!

Choosing the perspective that "I would rather be rejected for what I am, than loved for what I am not"! Because we can all see that if you have to do anything to be in the relationship, that makes you compromise who you are, at your deepest core values, that’s not the relationship for you! And seeing that is powerful, don't you think?

I share the distant past and path I took to learn what not to do (for me any-who), including open relationships and polyamory! In a backwards way, they allowed me to find access to the new level of love and version of relating I'm entering into now.

We talk: standards, boundaries, pre-sexual-intimacy conversations and agreements and how I believe we can create more possibilities of drawing in and maintaining the relationships we desire.

I also speak to the relationship journey I'm on NOW, with the incredible man I'm creating a picture of future possibilities with #mysteryman. Including how we have agreed to make our own rules, be seen and loved as we are now, growing and evolving, together. Building on the solid foundation of the well researched pillars for fulfilling love: safety, trust and commitment.

What if you allowed yourself to explore and experiment with how you show up in relationships and all of the potential to be created there? What might be possible if you experimented and explored?

Time to make your own rules in life and love? Want a guide?

If you're someone who wants more power and freedom in your life, you're going to LOVE this episode !

What if instead of thinking, feeling and saying "It's not my fault!" you chose to believe, know and say, "It IS my responsibility". Your healing, your perspectives, your responses from here onward GET to be your responsibility. That's true power and freedom, don't you see?

It means you choose to see it as all happened for you. No matter how painful, how horrible, it may not have been okay then, yet it all CAN be okay now!

This expands your locus of control and gives you way more power than if you gave it away with blame.

I wonder, what could create from THAT point forward?

Have you decided to take full responsibility for your life!? Then we should work together!

How much do you value and prioritise play? As a hula hooper, a circus performer and a Chinese medicine doctor, Kiera Blaney @heykiera_ gets the value of PLAY!

We are talking play, with yourself and with life, because as Kiera would say, "Play IS medicine"!

Kiera has created a life and career of fun and play. It wasn’t as easy as a walk in the park, though the spark for her career literally started with an inspirational walk in the park.

What a journey Kiera has made, going from lost in her “Monkey Mind”, self hating and disconnected from her body, to embodied, loving her body, herself (more and more) and her life; showing people the possibility of fun, happiness and joy through PLAY!

We explore the magic of the many forms of play, movement and embodiment practises, to help people find felt sense of safety and parasympathetic rest, so that they can do the deeper healing.

You know what it feels like, don't you? Letting go of time when you play, entering that timeless flow state.

What if we all made more space to break out of that "busy trap", to play and reflect on how our body responds? I wonder what would happen if we spent more time being in our body, perhaps more powerful realisations?

As we reflect on how experience leads to wisdom, Kiera boldly shares vulnerably about the sexual experiences she has been able to reflect on and learn from, including: beliefs about how she ‘had to’ give her body to others in a particular way; energetic boundaries intended to stop abuse; losing herself and finding herself again! She can see how taking the calculated risk to experience and process emotions of perceived traumatic experiences have created the fun loving, powerful woman she is today!

Kiera asks us all to consider, “What could life be like? How could it be different? How can you take that risk, in a safe way?” A beautiful reminder that everything is a risk, which you can choose to do safely and with support, in your own way.

This podcast episode shares of power abuse within sexual contexts and how we have each come to healing realisations. We invite you to consider too, the power of choosing to take full responsibility for your healing journey.

What if you chose to take your power back, knowing it wasn’t okay then and it all gets to be okay NOW?

Kiera invites a deep discussion into the ways unhealed trauma plays out in the present and limits our experience of life, and how everyone has the opportunity to find peace with all parts of themselves, allowing them to shine their light too.

She wraps up the episode sharing what she’s up to on the 88 Temple Pilgrimage (The Shikoku), raising money for mental health awareness through https://healedtribe.org.au/

This, and many tips for healing through play, are shared in this inspirational episode! Follow her journey at @heykiera_ and @hulahoopbrisbane and check out how to make a donation to support her journey @heal.edtribe

What do you make 'failure' mean? How often does that stop you from taking action?

It is common to 'fail' when actioning the first attempt in learning something, right?

So how can you let go of any beliefs about failure and emotional stories you've learned (from school, from childhood, from work)?

It takes new ways of thinking about and feeling toward failure. Will you allow yourself to view failure as feedback, information and an opportunity to explore what wasn't working?

What might be possible for you if you chose to view 'failure' is simply an opportunity for feedback? What might NOT happen if you don't?

What if you took action, got messy, made mistakes and used the information to iterate? Let's go fail and see; sounds fun, right?

Time to get comfortable in the uncomfortable?

Who wants to hear from a man that wants to grow!? I thought you'd say that!

For Josh, that's through self development, his chiropractic work and now as an NLP life coach.

We unpack the power of active visualisation and hypnotic language with a lived example (my favourite kind). It was so fun to relive this experience, to share and show the power of self-awareness and a sense of humour when doing to self development work, and how this grew our friendship. It a beautiful picture of the power and magic of “letting go” of our self-protective boundaries.

We share how our friendship has been a great place to practise love, trust and letting go, as well as learning to show up, no matter how uncomfortable the growth can feel.

Josh speaks candidly about his relational journey, from rejection to self acceptance, and self-love through self-trust, continually doing the inner work.

So grateful to have men like Josh, to model what it looks like for a man to make mistakes, own their $hit and commit to endless growth!

Want to to own more of your $hit so you can say, "This isn't me anymore!"?

Is it possible, you're limiting yourself with unconscious decisions?

IF so, perhaps it's worth exploring, when you decided that and is it still serving you? If not, perhaps it's time to let it go.

Conscious and unconscious decisions are so fun to CHANGE!

I share all about a recent discovery of an unconscious choice I had been making and an invitation to change a conscious decision.

How? Creating safety in the body, being held in loving compassion and shifting my language and mindset.

Do you allow yourself to truly feel and to heal? That's the work Travis @thetechnician_ and I are both in!

I am so honoured to share a few hours with the beautiful man Travis Cochran and to share them with you listeners.

We dive deep into how the unconscious mind develops stories in childhood, programming us for behaviours that we now get to rewire.

Trav shares his personal journey of how this childhood programmed him to dim his light, 'play small' and live by others rules. From being five years old and prescribed a path to NRL footy fame, in the pipeline to play for the Brisbane Broncos at age 15, and being told this was what he was meant for, to deciding, “This isn’t me!” and choosing his own path to “find himself”.

Travis is now claiming his own power, more boldly each day, with his podcast @thetechnicianpodcast , his coaching and the powerful work he does.

He leads with some really raw shares about where he's been, both in the past and more recently, mentally and emotionally; how he's learned to sit with both uncomfortable thoughts and painful emotions, welcoming them in.

Within this fire cracker of an episode, we also go into: unconscious creation of injury and disease, starting your self development journey, taking care of your mind and body, how "changing your mindset" can "change your life", the power of language to reprogram our thinking and behaviour, when your growth journey has relationships fall away, letting go of certain 'identities', the power of breath work, mindful celibacy, the self love journey, suicidal ideation, calling in your ideal partner, mother and father wounds, the 'masculine' and 'feminine' energies of polarity, sexual self expression and building connection through sex.

I KNOW you're going to LOVE this episode as much as I did and get a lot of new perspectives to take into your daily life!
