Where have I been, and where am I going? I've been on hiatus for a bit and will be on hiatus for a bit longer, so that's the question that I'm answering on today's podcast, where I explore what it's like to walk through "liminal space" in your life (periods of uncertainty, things falling apart, that are not necessarily "crisis" but are a time of treading water and being in the "in-between" of where you have been and what comes next).

Feeling stuck in the busy-hustle-burnout cycle? I’ve been there, too--and I’ve been leveraging the tools that I’ve learned from the psychology of courage and neuroplasticity to shift out of productivity, and into creativity. (Or, at least, to be able to discern the difference between the two and when one is more needed, than the other!). 

If you’ve felt like your efforts to stop being so busy always seem to fail, definitely listen in to this special Courage Habit-focused episode that’s now part of the Your Courageous Life podcast.

Starting the path to change isn’t enough--we also need to start cultivating accountability for ourselves. We can use habit-formation and the brain’s capacity for neuroplasticity there, too. In this Courage Habit focused episode, Kate + co-host Andy Sewell look at how to create community and how that ties in to courage.

Okay, but how do we respond to criticism and critique? And how do we know when we’re triggered because someone’s being unkind, versus because someone’s telling us a truth that we really need to hear? In this special Courage Habit episode, we’re digging into the very real experience of navigating criticism, whether our own or someone else’s.

Change your mindset, and you change your life--that’s the powerful premise that neuroplasticity offers us, and we can use this in order to shift away from fear-based thinking to find more courage. In this episode, we use real examples to talk about how you can shift your thinking using the power of cognitive reframing (a clinically validated approach to behavior change!).

It’s time to start listening to what your fear has to say--wait, what? This might surprise you, but there’s a very real reason why you need to listen to what your fear is saying: it has a message. The critical piece, however, is that you listen without attachment. In other words? Don’t believe that what your fear says, is automatically true. We’re going through some real examples of this in the 4th part of the Courage Habit series, part of a special 9-part series that is newly added to the Your Courageous Life podcast.

The inner critic is your best friend--with a lousy skill-set! That’s what we’re digging into in the 3rd part of the 9-part Courage Habit series (part of the Your Courageous Life podcast!). If you’ve felt like your internal critic has had a hold on you for far too long, listen in to hear how you can shift your relationship with your critic (and your fear). These skills are applicable to anywhere where you struggle with criticism.

In the second part of the 9-part Courage Habit series, we’re talking about how you can integrate meditation and mindfulness practices into your life (even when you’re feeling resistant) and how to directly dialogue with the internal critic so that you don’t get hung up on internal criticisms.
