Grief and Regret can feel debilitating. As we continue this season of embracing our power we dive into the deep end of both the process of grieving and letting go of regret. The only way we can fully embrace our internal power and purpose is by being honest with ourselves about our grief, regret, and the emotional experience related to both.
This episode walks through the nuances of grief, what and how we grieve, and why it is so important to accept the experience as it comes. We talk about regret and ways to reconsider and reexamine our regrets from a different perspective and lens. Let's think about new ways to consider what we regret so that we can move forward and expand our potential. Experiencing and accepting our regrets and grief are key elements in
Join us in this important conversation on how to clear the way to embracing your own power, make space on both the inside and outside of your life for more joy and healing.

This season on We Go Boldly we are leaning into our power and learning how to embrace it. Last week we chatted about anxiety and how we can handle anxiety so we can step into our own power. This week we can learn from the fantastic Megan Whiteside.
Megan L. Whiteside is a trial attorney in Maryland and DC, focusing her litigation
practice on representing victims and families of those who have suffered abuse and
neglect in nursing homes. Representing injured people and their families is an honor
and a responsibility that she does not take lightly. Megan believes that her role is to
both guide her clients with compassion and to protect their rights as a passionate
storyteller in the courtroom.
She is also a mom, national speaker, trial advocacy professor, and podcast host.
Megan speaks nationally on trial work, on teaching trial advocacy, and on issues facing
women in the legal profession. In her roles as advocate, teacher, speaker, mom, and
podcast host, she looks for ways to build connections and help others tap into their
purpose to thrive
During the pandemic, Megan launched her own podcast called Mom Life and Law, an
interview-style podcast that provides resources, encouragement, and support to other
lawyer moms. Megan also hosts CLE seminars, leadership summits, and other events
for lawyer moms to help them build their professional networks and advance their
Careers.
When she is not fighting to protect the rights of injured people, speaking, or podcasting,
she enjoys spending time with family and running marathons. And drinking coffee. Lots
of coffee.
Join us for this amazing conversation with Megan!
For more about all of Megan’s incredible adventures you can follow her on instagram @momlawandlife.

Anxiety. Let's talk about it. Embracing our power means peeling back the layers of stuff holding us back and facing our difficulties, fears, stressors, little and big A anxieties. Mental health is something we all can and should talk about, especially when it comes to living our fullest lives. Join us as we talk signs, symptoms and triggers for anxiety.
Often anxiety shows up in our lives without us even realizing what it is or what is causing the feelings that we are experiencing. We talk about some of the science behind anxiety, how you can detect it in your life and what to do to help yourself start to address those feelings. When anxiety goes unchallenged in our lives it can take over, leaving us without space or energy to do the things that are important and healthy for our own development. It is nearly impossible to embrace our power and gratitude when we are caught up in the storm of anxiety. Let's talk through ways to begin letting go of those triggers and anxiety storms that run through our lives.
As always we recommend the help of a professional therapist in conjunction with life coaching whenever possible. Join us today for this important discussion and don't forget to rate, subscribe and review while you're at it!

"There is a fine balance between honoring the past and losing yourself in it. You can acknowledge and learn from the mistakes you made and then move on. It's called forgiving yourself." -Eckhart Tolle
This week on We Go Boldly we go to the past so we can move forward to the future. Dealing with the past is not the same as denying your past or pretending you are not impacted by it. Rather - choosing how we move forward after addressing what we need to from our past.
We have to strike a balance between honoring our past and history—without letting it limit or hold us back from moving forward. Oh but how. It is not easy! It doesn’t help that our brains make it easier to hold onto the negative than the positive.
So how do you let go? You have to decide to let it go. We are here to help. Join us this week as we let go so we can embrace our power.
GO BOLDLY HOMEWORK
1. Identify something you are having trouble “letting go” of. Look at a few of the options on this list that we talked through and think about steps you can take to move forward.
2. Check out our Defining You course.

We are Going Boldly into season 7 and talking all about boundaries and embracing our power this week. Setting boundaries with ourselves can change the way in which we look at the world, but even more importantly it can change how we feel about ourselves. Once we learn to listen to our inner voice, hear and tend to our needs without judgment or shame we begin to build healthy stable boundaries around our lives. Those boundaries set the stage for how we can embrace our power in a meaningful and lasting manner.
The purpose behind building those boundaries is to create that lasting relationship with the honest version of yourself, and in order to do that you have to take the time to get to know that person. Healthy boundaries around who you are, who you want to be, what values and morals you hold, what you are willing to do all serve to build that foundation. Over time as you continue to grow and develop that person and those boundaries in an intentional manner, you can expand them out to include other people.
Those boundaries with other people then set the stage for how you are willing to, and expect to, be treated by others and by the Universe at large. Putting those expectations out into the universe is a part of setting forth on your path in life. The clearer you can be around what you are willing and unwilling to accept the better off you will be. Weak and unhealthy boundaries will often cause you to give away or diminish your own power, rather than embrace it as we are meant to. Tune in to our full episode to learn more about how setting boundaries will help you embrace your power and potential.

It is here! Season 7 is out today and we could not be more excited. This is the time to Embrace Our Power. As women. As human beings. As people of the universe.
Step one. Be honest with who you are to yourself. No matter how much you coat it with colors to please the world, you will always be what you are at the core. Your core is your truth. This is because, at the end of the day, you can hide your truth from the world but not from yourself. Being true to yourself is important if you wish to be proud of who you are.
This season is all about knowing who we are and understanding the world around us. It is all about grieving and feeling and embracing all of ourselves so we can step into the sunshine. Embrace our power.
Like every season we are bringing amazing women to share their story. We have a special treat for Episode 100. That’s right, episode 100 is right around the corner.
Join us today and this whole season for this amazing adventure.

Belonging and fitting in are not the same thing. This week we continue the second half of our mini series on what it means to belong as an adult. We wade through the tangle of emotions and conditioning that cause us to force ourselves to fit it, even at the cost of our own happiness.
On this episode of We Go Boldly we talk about the reality that belonging is something fundamentally necessary to our well being. Humans need to feel that sense of connection in order to thrive. We build our sense of belonging not by trying to fit it, rather by bringing our true and honest self to the table.
As we go further into how we can break through some of the social conditioning, early childhood misinformation, and other blocks to cultivating a sense of belonging within ourselves. We bring some practical suggestions on what to do each day to help you on your journey!
Finally, we dive into why it is so important to get to know yourself well, build your sense of self-awareness and inner voice in order to really develop the ability to feel comfortable and confident in who you are and that you belong. Join us and let us know what you think!
