Episode # 18 - Honoring Your Cracks and Imperfections
Listen & Enjoy as we discuss the need to honour our scars as they are OUR gained wisdom. Many times we feel the need to discard our broken pieces, but I beg to differ. Why not mend them with love and gratitude?
Without these pieces, we will not be able to be whole again.
Putting The Pieces Back Together?
Life, especially of recent, feels like it can break us, think we can all testify. For some, it feels that the last couple of months have them "shredded" leaving them now to pick up the pieces. That's okay....pick them up!
Episode # 17 - Finding Your Tribe
Listen & Enjoy as we discuss how you can find your tribe, your people. We all know a tribe is a group of people, male or female who together will help you move as one in the face of fear and uncertainty, but what you may have overlooked is how powerful your tribe can be. Tribes help to balance each other out, as we get different perspectives from each other, different levels of truths, and oh so much more. They create a safe sacred space where there is unconditional love, friendship, and wisdom. Now let’s dive in and find your tribe.
Episode # 16 - Puzzle Pieces.
Listen & Enjoy as we discuss the topic PUZZLE PIECES. Lately, I feel like our lives are like a giant 1000 piece puzzle with the full image all in one colour and when I step back and look at it I just cannot comprehend putting all the pieces together. In this episode, we dive in on HOW to put the 1000 puzzle pieces together during these times.
Episode #15 - Energy Drain.
Listen & Enjoy as we discuss whether energy drain is real or imagined? Time to rewind the clock and see what you were doing, listening to, or even watching that unconsciously sent you into a downward spiral. Yes, that happens and you don't even realize until your body becomes tired and your mind is begging you to pause. Especially now in the time of CoVid, awareness is KEY!
Episode #14 - Life.
Listen & Enjoy as we discuss the mere fact that life doesn't happen TO you, it happens FOR you. We get to choose how we want to show up in life..it is that simple. Of recent, I know life has thrown us some hard balls, but with support, guidance, and resilience you can show up the way you want, rather than the way you think you should.
Episode #12 - Perspective.
Listen & Enjoy as we discuss the topic perspective especially during these times we are living in. When we started this Covid Journey, the fact is many of us see the situation one way and others see it another. Of course, this is to be expected but the problem lies when we are not open to other perspectives on the same situations. Sometimes all we need is a new perspective.
Episode #11 - Mindfulness.
Listen & Enjoy as we discuss what Mindfulness is and how we can bring more of it into our daily lives. To be mindful is to live in awareness, living in the present, the NOW. To live in the NOW is the most important aspect of being truly mindful. When we are in awareness we are able to notice our thoughts, are they positive or negative. A mindful practice can help us change a lifelong habit of overthinking and worrying.
Episode #10 - Relationships.
Listen & Enjoy as we discuss Relationships. Relationships in our lives are very important so it is vital as we go through life, we evaluate the ones that we have. We will highlight if the relationships that you do have still work for you if they supply you with all you need and desire. If they are no longer serving you, then make the adjustments that are needed.
Episode #9 - Time.
Listen & Enjoy as we discuss time and where it is going? I am sure that you are finding that Christmas and Easters are coming around so quickly and we all keep hearing ourselves say, "where is the time going?"
When you Google the definition of "time" you get a slew of definitions. However one, in particular, spoke to me,"Time is an appointed, fixed, or customary moment or hour for something to happen, begin, or end". The concept of NOW reaches out and the word MOMENT is the keyword here, speaking to the practice of Mindfulness and being in the moment, the NOW. As the stoic Philosopher, Seneca tells us: Life, if well lived, is long enough."
Episode #8 - Direction.
Listen & Enjoy as we discuss the direction and how to love more of your life. Many of us feel stuck in our daily routine of life, myself included, especially now during these times of CoVid. We will highlight how to strike a balance and learn to love your life more.
Episode #7 - Aura.
Listen & Enjoy as we discuss all about your "Aura". We hear this word used so much…"don’t like their aura"...but what does it Aura actually mean? Without getting too "technical", your Aura is a reflection of your mood, your energy and your emotions. We put these energies out there, they stem from within us, our bodies, our current mood and it can be drained by people and situations: toxic relationships, unfulfilling jobs, family problems, and especially now with the new norm.
Episode #6 - Blame.
Listen & Enjoy as we discuss why it is so easy to "Blame" and point the finger at someone or something else other than ourselves. Taking responsibility for our own actions is scary and we think "how could WE possibly be responsible for what it happening in our lives?". We cannot change what is going on around us until we start changing what is going on WITHIN us. Self-reflection can be very uncomfortable, however, it is vital to take responsibility for ourselves.
Episode #5 - Impermanence.
Listen & Enjoy as we discuss the concept of impermanence.
What is "impermanence"?
Impermanence is “the state or fact of lasting for only a limited period of time”. The concept of impermanence can immobilize us, even make us question everything. When this happens it is time for introspection. Mindfulness shows us that reality is in a constant state of change...emotions, suffering, sadness will not last but the idea of impermanence should not need to make you sad.
Episode #4 - Gratitude.
Listen & Enjoy as we discuss GRATITUDE. How do we practice gratitude? What makes us pause to be grateful? Are we being truly mindful in our gratitude or are we just rolling along saying we are thankful? Being truly grateful for all that we have in this life is the most powerful gift we can give ourselves.
Episode # 3 - Boundaries.
Listen & Enjoy as we discuss the need to set our own boundaries. Boundaries from toxic emotions, from unhappy relationships, and more. Many times we do not define our boundaries because of a fear of conflict but we are all on a journey and each one is unique.
Episode # 2 - Complaining.
Listen & Enjoy as we discuss how mindfulness practices and being mindful helps us to be in awareness of our complaining. We will pay attention to your words and determine if they are kind and positive or if they are negative. Thoughts = energy…you will be so surprised how much-increased energy will result from this shift.
Episode # 1 - Coexistence With Flexibility. Listen & Enjoy as we discuss bringing flexibility into our lives especially during this time. When we are flexible, we are open, we are more receptive and we are more able to embrace this new norm we have been given. When we have a fixed mindset that is not so easy. We know that our lives are in change and we have to accept this new life by coexisting with flexibility.
Episode # 13 - REST, Don’t Quit.
Listen & Enjoy as we discuss the emotions that go from “I’ve got this” to “mercy what now?”. Mental Exhaustion is real! We will dive into how we can make each day better than the last by taking REST.
