Unpacking Myself

I'm convinced the things you can't measure or see is where the magic and secret to life lies. Not everyone has the patience or interest to attain it which is why it's not something everyone is lining up to do or benefits from. I wish that weren't the reality. Listen in as I share my journey with meditation and a few ways I got over the "intimidation" of it. Perfection isn't the goal but getting a taste of the benefits will definitely hook you for life!

It's a product development reference that comes up often in the startup world - is your product a painkiller or a vitamin? Today I take this reference and apply to how we each choose to live our lives. Are we forward-thinking, intentional and patient with doing the things that are meaningful like a vitamin? Or are we going from one fire to another, being pushed through life until we are forced to take the painkiller for the things that we weren't making time for or were choosing to ignore?

A blindspot by definition is something you can't see… you don't realize its there. Most of us have them and those who say they don't, just haven't found it yet :) In this episode, I walk through where these blindspots come from, how I discovered mine and how you can find yours too. Finding the blindspot can help us get different, more positive outcomes than ones we may be used to.

It is so liberating and freeing when you are okay with others not liking you. Not when you are being a jerk but in moments where you know you didn't do anything wrong and yet they don't like you. If people don't like you when you are well-intentioned and being yourself then you have to detach from making them like you. Learn how you can remove so much clutter and confusion from your mind when you aren't driven by what others think of you.

It's easy to forget that the lense through which we experience life is our own personal lense. It's a customized lense influenced by our past, our pain, our experiences, our narrative, our judgments, our likes & dislikes, our triggers. And that's ok, we all have it but what happens when we don't even realize the lense is there? Can we ever break out of the negative patterns that occur in our life if we refuse to see life outside of our lense? I dive into all of this in this week's episode.

I always had a feeling that when I was saying "I was too busy," I wasn't being completely honest with myself. Did I not have time or was I choosing not to prioritize other things in that moment? Seems like the same thing but the latter made me feel like I was in control of what my day or week was filled with. In this episode, I talk about why this subtle difference matters and why down-time is so important for our overall well-being.

When I would hear people say "Find your purpose," I would always get so overwhelmed and feel like it was out of reach. What does that mean? How do I find it? Do I have to become the next Oprah? In this episode, I unpack this big, scary thing - "purpose" into something that makes sense and is achievable. I had to this for myself and it has become more and more clear over the years. It's not as complicated as people make it seem to be. Listen in!

I've spent most of my life thinking "being understanding" meant sacrificing my own desires, ignoring my own feelings and just being silent. I saw others do this when I was younger and didn't even realize I was doing the same thing until recently. I'm realizing that "being understanding" is about being loving and kind BUT also honest and vocal. It does not mean shoving our own wants or needs deep down. Listen in as I unpack this one.
