Threshold Moments

Welcome back, dear listeners. In this episode, I'm speaking with Amina AlTai about the nuances of burnout and codependency — where it can come from and the surprising places it shows up in our personal and professional lives.

Amina AlTai is a career realignment coach who helps people move into a purpose-based career and succeed. She is also host of the podcast Amina Change Your Life and author of the upcoming book The Ambition Trap.

Together, we have a rich discussion about culture, healing, and the ongoing work of learning to serve from our wholeness and not from our wounds.

We also discuss:

• How codependency can show up in the workplace
• The four factors of workplace burnout
• Shifting our mindset from performance to purpose
• Knowing your stop moment
• How ambition is often a trap for underrepresented communities

Join me as I share—

• How to release all-or-nothing thinking & play with the in-between
• The relationship between right distance, right relationship & right timing
• Examples of cultivating right distance with work, people & social media
• How to find right distance when you end up in a misaligned position

Happy Interdependence Day, dear ones.

In today's episode, I trace a path from connection to sovereignty through interdependence, exploring how we can choose to be in relationship with others while also remaining sovereign to ourselves.

Along the way, I share my experiences of conscious connection, codependence, and choosing honesty at the sake of safety.

Join me on this path as we explore—

• How big true conversations put everything at risk
• Reclaiming sovereignty by breaking patterns
• Recognizing codependency even when you're very independent
• The magic of the tension field
• Dreaming prompts for expanding possibilities

Welcome, dear ones. This week on Threshold Moments I'm joined by writer, psychic, business owner, and dear friend Licia Morelli.

Licia shares her psychic journey with us — how she discovered her abilities as a child, shut them down until college, grew them into a successful business, lost sight of the true reason she did this work, closed her business for six years, and then rediscovered and reclaimed that part of herself after surviving cancer.

Together we discuss the challenges of belonging, the importance of curiosity, the power of grief, and the life-saving nature of joy.

Tune in to hear more about—

• Licia's earliest clairvoyant experiences
• Creating boundaries with the spiritual world
• Getting swept up in being "special"
• Emerging from grief and the cycle of awareness
• The power of curiosity and asking questions
• Why we should ask ourselves "what am I learning in this moment?"
• How to work with the moon phases

In this week's Mini Musing, I share reflections on the far-reaching impacts of widening our posture, as well as our mental and visual perspective.

I draw on Amy Cuddy's research on power postures and how we can actually change our hormonal composition, our chance at getting a job, and the likeliness that we'll take a risk.

I also reflect on how one-on-one somatic sessions will often use the widening of awareness when visiting traumatic history. And at the end of the episode, we play with how taking a wider visual perspective alters your breath, posture, and nervous system.

Listen in to learn how to widen your posture and your perspective. Then I invite you to join my 21 Days of Untapped Support to begin widening today.

Welcome, dear ones.

This week we have with us Kristin Bosteels, a woman who has faced life and death multiple times. Her roots are deeper and wider than anything that can be taken from her. She is a well-practiced yogi, a disciple of mindset, and a human on a journey back to herself.

Kristin teaches Yoga on the Inside. Her passion lies in teaching and sharing the therapeutic benefits of yoga with those in need, and using yoga to soften her experience and that of others.

Kristin's ongoing journey of living with cancer has been an aggressive and enlightening one. But, as she shares with us, she takes a unique approach to managing her diagnosis — choosing to be an anomaly and taking a multi-dimensional approach to her care. In this episode, Kristin also shares the beauty of opening herself up, asking for help, and allowing other people to be a part of her healing, even when it's difficult to do.

Listen to learn more about:

• The changes Kristin saw in herself after her first and second cancer diagnoses
• How sharing experience is more meaningful than sharing advice in response to hard news
• How Kristin's mother lives on through her own experiences in her cancer journey
• The ways Kristin manages the ups and downs of her treatment
• The importance of being honest about the dark nights of the soul and not just the times of strength and resilience

In this week's Mini Musing, I share reflections from my time as an athlete, sports trainer, and yoga teacher to offer insight on how we can actually change unconscious patterns in our lives.

Listen in to learn why it's important to observe, process, and upgrade in the moment. And to unpack what John Frappier teaches us — that "We can't learn new patterns in a state of fatigue."

I end with reflections on burnout and how necessary self-care is if we want to move from familiar patterns to optimal patterns. And I invite you to join my 21 Days of Untapped Support to begin inviting small moments of rest and of challenge into your days.

Welcome, dear listener. In today's mini musing, I'm sharing one of my favorite tools for threshold moments—resuscitation. And I'm gently asking the question, What could it look like to embrace a period of resuscitation with a "yes to myself" mindset?

Using the framework of the window of tolerance, I describe how we might react to stress differently depending on the width of our window. I also share stories from my own life and explore how we can create opportunities to keep our windows of tolerance more open.

Tune in as I discuss:

• What mini musings are and what I hope they offer you
• The time I had a food truck come to my house for a different kind of potluck
• What a resuscitation phase is
• Some things I experienced in my own resuscitation phase
• The window of tolerance framework
• Saying no during resuscitative times in order to say yes to our own wellbeing
• Building in time for containment
