If you’re a high-achiever who has built your life on hard work, dedication and getting difficult tasks done, you probably can’t imagine what it would be like to allow your life to happen in a way that is organic and easy. 

Just let things happen however they happen???

It might even sound kind of “wrong”. 

You might think to yourself that everything good in your life has been built by the achiever in you who knows how to get great things accomplished. 

But what if all of that power and passion you bring to your work and your life could be directed toward a life of ease?

What if “easy” doesn’t mean what you think it does? 

This is a tiny little nuance that will not only change the way you think about the word “easy” but will (hopefully) revolutionize the way you experience your life.

If you’re feeling stuck in your writing or in your life, it’s very possible your body and mind are telling two different stories. 

In today’s episode I talk not only about why this happens but also how to reconcile the two, and even share a simple writing exercise to help you do it. 

When you integrate the story your mind and body are telling, deep healing takes place. I hope you enjoy the episode and the extra resources I share below.

If you’ve ever stopped yourself from doing something because you were afraid, I have a question for you.  

What is *under* your fear?

This might not be the first question you think to ask yourself about your fear. But I recently started looking *behind* my fear and I found something unexpected. 

What I found is dissolving my fears in a way I couldn’t have predicted. 

I’m sharing my story today on the podcast.

What do astrology and storytelling have in common? 

Both have an amazing way of taking the seemingly disconnected events of our lives and giving them meaning and order.  

On this week’s episode, I interview author, teacher and world-renowned astrologist Debra Silverman and dig into the power astrology offers to organize the experiences of our lives. Together we discover just how much our work has in common.

Whether you are curious about astrology, a devoted student, or an admitted skeptic, this conversation will help you make meaning of your life story. 

I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

If you’ve ever considered writing a book, you’ve also probably asked yourself this common question: is my idea any good? 

Is the story or topic I want to write about interesting to anyone other than me? 

There are many ways to answer this question and unfortunately, how you answer might determine whether or not you write your book. Imagine if the author of your favorite book had decided, before ever writing, that their book idea was “no good”.  

In today’s episode, I’ll teach you how to answer this question for yourself and talk about the common pitfalls aspiring writers fall into. 

Hopefully I inspire you to give your book idea some space to develop into what it was meant to be. 

(PS) As I mention in the episode, I’m bringing back my signature course A Book in Six Months as a self-paced workshop and offering a generous discount for loyal listeners starting Friday November 28th. I will post the link to purchase as soon as it's ready.

We hesitate to tell our stories for a thousand reasons. It’s vulnerable, for starters, and we hate the feeling of giving others power over us. 

We decide ahead of time that our story isn’t that interesting, that nobody else would care besides us, and that our situation is 100% unique to our experience. 

But what if wisdom is buried inside of your personal story? 

What if keeping your story secret is hiding that wisdom, even from you?

Today’s episode explores this topic and encourages you to take a single step to unpack the miracle that is your personal story.

When someone asks, “how are you doing?” Do you smile and say “I’m fine”? 

Or do you tell the truth? 

You might have a thousand reasons for holding back your truth in the face of a relatively benign question like “how are you doing?” — some of which may even be justified. But I suppose a better question is: do you know what is true for you? 

Are you in touch with your own truth? 

Are you able to share it with at least one trusted person? 

And have you considered the power and possibility of sharing your truth more broadly? 

This is what I’m exploring in today's episode. No matter how impossible it might seem to tell the truth — no matter who you think it might hurt or what you worry would unravel, the old maxim is right: only really the truth can set you free.

Do you believe there’s more to life than what you can see? 

If so, how does this affect the way you move through the world? 

Does it impact how you make decisions; how you deal with disappointment; how you make meaning from your story? 

What about not getting what you want? 

In today’s episode, I share a message that came to me through my yoga practice and talk about how it brought peace to a situation where I’m not getting what I want. 

If there’s more to life than what we see, then maybe “what we want” is about much more than getting what we want. Sounds simple on the surface but tell that to yourself when you want something and you’re not getting it. 

Whatever it is that you want but can’t have right this minute, I hope this episode brings you some peace.

My five year old daughter recently asked me why sometimes we ask God for things and she doesn’t give them to us (I secretly love that she refers to God as female, even though we’ve never gendered God in our house). 

As I processed the answer to her question — and thought about all the things I’ve wanted in my life but never gotten — I recorded this episode. 

This episode is an in-real-time, thinking-out-loud kind of an episode. More of a “questions” kind of episode than an “answers” kind of episode. 

But maybe, as I talk out loud to myself about what it means to want something and not have it, you’ll hear something that resonates with you that you can take with you on your own journey of wanting and not having. 

What do you want that you don’t (yet) have? 

The answer to that question might be a powerful invitation on a journey that will change your life forever.

When life is confusing and you don’t have the answers, what is your first response?

Do you get tied into knots trying to figure it out? 

Or are you comfortable with the open-ended nature of things?

Last week I unpacked the power of “I don’t know” and this week I’m continuing the conversation about how life improves when you let it be ok that you don’t know.
