  • Ep55 - What to do if you're feeling lost and confused

    In today’s episode, I’m talking about what to do when you feel lost and confused (the kind of lost and confused where you’re feeling stuck, unsure of where to go next, and are hoping to arrive at some clarity that gets you moving, again). When you feel lost and confused, it’s time to slow down and understand a bit about what’s lead you here. 


    Feeling lost and confused in life? Don't worry, you're not alone.  Feeling lost and confused is a natural part of life, especially when you're pushing your boundaries and dreaming big, or going through a big life transition. In today’s episode, I’m talking about what to do when you feel lost and confused (the kind of lost and confused where you’re feeling stuck, unsure of where to go next, and are hoping to arrive at some clarity that gets you moving, again). When you feel lost and confused, it’s time to slow down and understand a bit about what’s lead you here. 


    (Note: if you're in a challenging place with thoughts of self-harm or suicide, please seek help immediately – this podcast can't provide the support you need.)


    For those times when you're feeling stuck or uncertain about your path, I’ll cover how to detach from the pressure and find the courage to confront the hard stuff without getting caught in analysis paralysis. I’ll help you identify the opportunities to slow down, understand yourself, and consciously create courage.

  • Ep 54 - How to set goals without getting stressed

    Everyone needs to know how to set goals without getting stressed--at least, not so stressed that you end up sabotaging the goal or quitting, entirely. You can learn how to set goals without getting stressed by shifting your mindset around failure and placing your intentions on following through consistently, rather than pushing yourself to hit a certain outcome. In today’s podcast episode, I’m breaking down the different approaches that I take for setting goals without getting stressed.

  • Ep51: Dealing with difficult situations

    As I recorded this episode, the Sonoma County fires of 2019 were happening--and I live in Sonoma County, approximately 20 miles from the initial origin of the fires. I wanted to share an episode on dealing with difficult situations and use challenging circumstances such as these fires and how they have impacted myself and my community, to highlight ways of handling difficult situations.

  • Ep50: Choosing who you surround yourself with

    It’s common self-help advice that “you are the aggregate of the five people you spend time with” or to simply “let go” of people who are “toxic”--but is this way of being profoundly dehumanizing? In this podcast episode, I respond to a listener request to talk about choosing who you surround yourself with and how those people have an impact on your well-being. If you’ve felt conflicted about how to figure out who the people are who are your truest friends, and if you’ve been uncertain about how to effect change in your relationships, this episode is for you.

  • Ep49: Learning to Trust Your Intuition

    Whether you have trouble trusting your intuition, or feel like you’ve got intuition on lock but could always use a few more insights, today’s podcast episode on learning to trust your intuition will break down some of the essential components.

    How do you know the difference between excitement and fear? How do you tell the difference between a “red flag” and needing to stretch into something outside your comfort zone? That’s what we’re talking about, today. 


    Are you ready to transform your life and start trusting your intuition like never before? In this podcast episode, I share a personal story that taught me the invaluable skill of somatic awareness – the ability to decipher the sensations in your body to guide your decision-making.

    We all have those moments when we look back and realize we should have listened to our intuition. That relationship, that job, that opportunity – we've all been there. But what if those experiences were the key to unlocking your intuition's power? I invite you to join me in a journey of self-discovery as we dissect those pivotal moments in your life, the ones that left you questioning your choices.

    Through reflection and self-compassion, you'll learn to differentiate between the fear that safeguards you and the fear that keeps you stuck. This journey isn't about perfection; it's about progress and growth. So let's delve into the wisdom your body holds and start living a life guided by your intuition. Trust me; the possibilities are endless.

  • Ep48: Recognizing Self-Sabotage

    Do you have trouble recognizing self-sabotage? That’s something of a trick question, because we typically only recognize self-sabotage in hindsight. In today’s Your Courageous Life podcast episode, I’m talking about how you can start recognizing self-sabotage *before* you’re actually doing it. We’re getting real about shiny object syndrome, taking two steps forward and one step back, and how to finish what you start.
