    • 63. New Identity with Wendy Sloneker

      Divorce is an identity changer. After divorce, you may go through periods where part of your old identity is gone but you haven't fully formed your new identity. How you thought your life would unfold is no longer entirely in the cards. You might feel adrift, unmoored. That's totally normal!


      I chat with coach Wendy Sloneker today about how to:

      • support ourselves during a period of shifting identity
      • talk about our emotions with our kids in a way that helps them process what's going on for them
      • tune in to our inner voice & desires in order to find our new identity
      • give ourselves breaks from grief as part of the healing process

      • This episode will help you understand the stage of identity shift you are in right now and offer helpful tools to bring you more peace as you continue on your journey. Enjoy!

                  Sign up for Meg's Upcoming Workshop (3/29/23): 3 Steps to Improve Your Co-Parenting Relationship (even if your Ex doesn’t change)

                  You don’t need your Ex to change so you can feel peaceful, calm, & confident.

                  It’s possible to:

                  • Stop rehashing conversations. 
                  • Stop screaming at them in your head. 
                  • Stop dreading their next text. 
                  • Stop letting them live rent-free in your brain. 
                  • Stop rehearsing future conversations while getting madder, madder, and madder. 
                  • Co-parenting can feel peaceful… and THEY don’t have to change AT ALL. 

                    Instead what you need to learn is:

                    1. How to identify what’s yours to control and take full responsibility for it

                    2. How to not allow your Ex’s behavior to trigger you emotionally

                    3. How to move negative feelings through your body in a healthy, productive way so you’re in control of your response instead of feeling like a victim of their behavior.

                    4. I’m going to teach it to you for free in my class: 3 Steps to Improving Your Co-Parenting Relationship (even if your Ex doesn’t change at all).

                        It sucks to feel stressed, anxious or angry (rageful anyone?) in your co-parenting situation.

                        It's even worse when you think that the only way for things to change is to get the mountain of your Ex to move. So you spend so much time thinking about how to get them to see things differently and to show up in the way you want.

                        Talk about an uphill slog!!

                        There's another way! Let me show you how you can improve co-parenting even if your Ex doesn't change at all.

                        I promise you can feel more empowered, calmer, and enjoy your time with your kids so much more. Plus, you can feel confident that you can create the future you want-- no matter what your Ex is doing.

                      • 60. Connecting Race Literacy and Our Menstrual Cycle with Alyssa Johnson

                        Darling listener,

                        This week's episode is very special to me.

                        [BIPOC listeners please see note at the bottom.*]

                        This episode includes two topics that are very close to my heart, but may not on the surface seem connected: race literacy and menstrual cycle attunement.

                        But I promise they are!

                        Their overlap: radical body awareness.

                        I'm a thoughtwork gal through and through- but even I know we can't intellectualize everything.

                        The more I coach and get coached, the more I see the power of noticing the physical sensations that come with emotions.

                        I'm convinced that folks who can be with their feelings, those who can allow all the sensations (no matter how uncomfortable), are best equipped to create exactly what they want in their lives.

                        Why?

                        Because they don't allow a feeling --especially shame, guilt, imposter syndrome, fear of disappointment, etc.-- to prevent them from doing something.

                        When you're willing to feel negative emotions, you're more likely to...

                        ... ask for the raise.

                        ... say no to your Ex's request.

                        ... ask someone out.

                        ... change careers.

                        ... post about your business on Facebook.

                        ... see value in negative feedback.

                        ... remove yourself from a situation that doesn't feel supportive.

                        ... speak up in public about issues that are important to you.

                        Join me and guest Alyssa Johnson for a freakin' fabulous discussion on healing trauma, building resilience and capacity, and tuning into what's really true.

                        Here's Alyssa's bio:

                        Alyssa Johnson is a formerly practicing attorney who now works with lawyers and legal organizations on topics related to lawyer well-being. This includes emotional intelligence, syncing our legal practices with our menstrual cycles, work-life balance, and experiencing more pleasure in Life. Alyssa is also passionate about dismantling White supremacy within the legal profession. She facilitates race literacy conversations with White attorneys to help us heal our race-based trauma and take anti-racist actions within our legal practices.

                        You can follow her at www.alyssajohnson.love and on Instagram.

If it doesn't feel nourishing to you to listen in to that, feel free to skip to minute 31:15 to hear about tuning into our menstrual cycle.]
