With Real Intent

In this episode, we're diving into the topic of spiritual experiences.  I share two of mine that land in the "unusual" category.  I discuss:

-what we can do with them to make them powerful tools for our use, especially during tough times.

-how thinking of them as weird, unusual might be limiting you from having access to deeper understanding and more opportunities for them

-how to help your kids begin to learn the language of the spirit.

I gave myself permission to go on a solo retreat last month. It was GLORIOUS!  I share my self-care journey and how it saved me from chronic burnout and how it laid the foundation for being able to meet my own needs in really meaningful ways.

People-pleasing is something that we all have done at some point. When does it become a problem?  It can result in not sharing how you really feel and lead to a lot of personal frustration.  It can also escalate all the way to becoming a victim in important areas in your life because you couldn't stand up for yourself.

In this episode, I discuss why we do it, the consequences, and some ways to start shifting out of this bad habit. 

I also share how being a peacemaker is NOT a bad thing, but like any good thing, our greatest strengths can be our greatest weakness.  

If you're looking to change this, this episode is for you!

We all have things in our lives that we just know need to be different in order for us to find peace and happiness.  Where do we start?  What needs to happen?

I'll teach you where to focus and why and how to connect the thoughts that you're having to the outcomes that you're getting.  

You CAN have power over how you feel no matter the circumstance.  I'll show you how.

Why do we put things off that we KNOW need to get done?  Is procrastination getting in the way of making progress in your life?  Nothing is wrong with you!  Listen in to learn WHY we do this protective behavior and how to work with yourself to get past this habit.  I'll teach you exactly what I do, some powerful and easy tools, and the 2 sneaky pitfalls that are clues to what's keeping you procrastinating.

When we're seeking for a better marriage, a better boss, a better body, happier children, happier feelings, we're ultimately seeking one thing: to feel unconditional love.

We came from a deep level of acceptance and care into a world that teaches us that we have to fight for, work for, and manipulate for love.

We try to fill this need to be seen for who and what we are at any given moment. Messy in all of our glory and yet totally 100% loveable.

I share my personal spiritual experience of coming to know how God feels about us, and how to receive that experience, and what doors it will open in yours.

In this episode, I share a unique experience with prayer that has become a tool in dealing with anxiety and in creating my life in how I more greatly want to experience it.
