The Importance of Understanding the Mind-Body Connection With Dr. Bal Pawa
Tune in to this powerful interview with Dr. Bal Pawa, a Physician, Pharmacist, TEDx Speaker and Author of the Mind-Body Cure Book. Her insights highlight the importance of the mind-body connection and taking control of our health with practical advice. Join us as we uncover her own journey to healing that started with a tragic head-on collision that placed her in the hospital she worked in hours earlier but this time as a patient. Being at the mercy of doctors and feeling vulnerable not only from the emotional grief of losing her baby but also from physical pain, she started her 7-year journey of healing. Dealing with broken bones, collapsed lungs and relying on surgeons, neurologists, specialists, she was being attended to by the best yet she was not healing. What became apparent as missing in the medical system is a lack of "patient involvement", the conversations about how much our mindset influences our healing. Expanding on this, she left for Harvard Medical School to learn how to do counselling for mind-body. The doctor there took a personal interest in her case as his research was based on the autonomic nervous system. Through this process and discovering her premise for her book, she learned to heal herself and returned to Vancouver to change the system of patient care. Finding like-minded physicians, she opened an integrative clinic transforming the lives of thousands of people using the principles of mind-body medicine. Her experience completely reframed the way she looks at the world, becoming more grateful and empowering not only herself but her patient in advocating for their health. Our discussion sheds light on science-backed suggestions on how how to improve digestion, sleep, chronic stress and anxiety by following her REFRAME tool kit.

Why It's Important To Understand & Express Your Anger
Earlier this week I shared a Rumi quote about anger. "Anger is like a strong wind. It calms down after a while, but lots of branches are already broken." As I shared in that post, I picked that particular quote because I was feeling angry that day, and that is normal and natural. The key, I find, is to be angry at the right time and at the right thing/person. Some branches are meant to be broken, that's part of living a healthy life. There are many ups and downs and it's up to us to learn how to self-regulate.
But so many of us are programmed to believe that anger is a "bad" emotion and that we should try to avoid it at all costs. Perhaps the people sharing the program mean well but I believe they are confusing anger with violence, and they are two different things. That's why in this week's episode I'm sharing some of the benefits of expressing your anger in healthy ways and how that can help you develop a better sense of self.
Tune in to join the conversation.

Tips On How To Have Fair Fights
In this episode, I'm sharing a number of easy to understand tips that you can apply right away to help you learn how to fight fair. Contrary to the marketing messages being pumped out by the self-help world, your relationships aren't supposed to be all butterflies and rainbows. That's not realistic and it can be harmful to you to set that as your target.
Relationships can, however, be harmonious and you can each learn how to disagree without shattering the foundation of your connection and you can each learn how to self-regulate. Tension and disagreements CAN help you build your emotional and spiritual 'muscle' if you know HOW to use them in a productive manner.
Tune in to listen to the five tips I have on how you can learn to have fair fights.
Ground Yourself & Help Build Your Confidence With This One Small Shift
Most people are conditioned to plan ahead. Sometimes it's a week at a time, sometimes maybe a month or even a year. But due to the current circumstances, it's difficult to plan ahead.
The major challenge in losing those long-term plans is that you may feel like you don't have as much to look forward to. You may feel like you're spinning your wheels.
That's why I have been recommending this particular tip so frequently lately. It's a small, but mighty shift that can help you not only develop self-trust and reliability but also boosts your confidence.
Tune in to this episode so you can learn more.
The Innate Gift Of Resilience That You Didn't Know You Had
Human resilience is innate. It's a gift we all have, to varying degrees, but how do you manage those extremely difficult experiences? When life gets really hard you have to make a decision. Not just to get through it, but to thrive and grow because of it. And what is the role/responsibility of therapists and coaches in this space? Could there be a better way to help people process trauma and develop resilience?
Tune into this fascinating and thought-provoking conversation I have with my good friend, Tara Miller.

How To Tune In To The Stories You Tell Yourself
If you're feeling like you're in a rut, this week's episode is for you. I'm sharing a technique to help you get unstuck.
If you follow my work, you know I try to do my best to share tips and tools in bite-sized pieces so you can try them out. Low risk, high reward. Not a bad formula, right?
It's usually our stories and programs that often make us feel like we are losing (or maybe even standing still and spinning our wheels). The challenge is, however, that we don't know what that story is (necessarily) until we take the time to audit our thoughts.
I'm sharing an exercise that can help you figure that story out. So listen to the end!
Why It's Important To Be Congruent With Your Feelings
Being congruent with your feelings means to be the same on the inside as the outside. There's a flow. An honesty. Right now the energy around us feels very thick, and the best way to manage it is to learn to float above it. Usually, we use our home environment as a dumping ground for our stressors, or bad moods, and we tend not to share as much of our "light" at home. We believe we have to save that for where it counts - at work, or at school etc. But it's the relationships you have at home that truly impact how you relate to the outside world, so it's an excellent place to practice being congruent. Watch until the end because I'm sharing a practical and useful tip to get you going on sharing your successes and your wins in your household.

How to Avoid The Trap of Victim Culture & Build Resilience
There's a beautiful balance that can be found between being honest and true about how you feel (being vulnerable) and building resilience. But that's not necessarily what's being emphasized at the moment. In fact, the focus, more and more, is on elevating victimhood.
Though we are in a transformative time, there's a danger of going too far into victimhood and we need to be mindful as we progress forward. Because identifying with your victim story ultimately leads you to live from the outside in. It's essentially a surrendering of power. Giving your energy away to others to manage as they see fit. Only they're not the ones that can create change for you.
Living this way sucks the life out of you. When you get caught in the victim trap you are 100% reliant on other people and their perspectives. It's hard to feel grounded or safe. It feels like you are under attack. You lose touch with yourself and with your inner guidance system.
In this episode, I also discuss the victim-aggressor relationship and how you can be both as they are two sides of the same coin.
It's a deep, thought-provoking conversation. How would your life change if you could transform your victim story into a victor story?
Listen now to join the dialogue. PLEASE share this with anyone that you believe needs to listen to it.
😔There's Not Always A Silver Lining, Why Being Authentic About Your Feelings Brings Healing😔
One of the most common pieces of advice you'll hear from other people when you are struggling is to "look for the silver lining." Especially in the self-help world.
But in today's segment, I'm discussing why not ALL of your life's experiences have a silver lining.
But why is this piece of advice the go-to? Is it because we are afraid of our feelings? Afraid of voicing/expressing our pain? Is it because we are trying to hide from the realities of life? That life has highs and lows. Are we trying to fit the narrative of the people around us?
It's when we get comfortable with the dark that the light is the brightest. You don't need to suppress your emotions, or your pain, to suit the needs of those around you.
Your primary responsibility is to your SELF and that means being congruent. Faking it does not equal making it. It can, however, suck the life out of you to live out of alignment with what you feel or believe.
And you MATTER. Your feelings matter and so does your expression of your SELF. It's time to transform how we view the difficulties in our lives, and in the lives of others. It's time to be okay with the full expression of yourself because the stats tell us, clear as day, that this highlights reel we're trying to live is damaging our mental health...which in turn, is truly hurting our children.
You are resilient. You have survived the hardest days of your life so far. You deserve to feel free to share your "real" life experience.
This episode was originally recorded live as a video, hence the reference to YouTube.
"99% of people are convinced they are incapable of achieving great things, so they aim for mediocre." Tim Ferriss
Are you capable of greatness?
Let’s pretend for a moment that this quote from Tim Ferriss is an absolute truth (which I am well aware, isn't 100% accurate). Which category do you fall into? Are you in the 1% group? The people that tend to have “I want it all or I’ll die trying attitude”. Or are you with the majority, the 99% that make a conscious choice not to push past their current mental boundaries because they would rather avoid risk and settle for what’s safe and available? It doesn’t matter which category you fall into at this very moment. What matters most is which one you want to be in.

When it comes to giving/generousity there's a word that draws me in. That word is Seva (pronounced say-va)
It's a Punjabi word which means "selfless service." Being of service without any expectation or reward for performing it. The idea of Seva was deeply ingrained in how I was raised. But, that doesn't necessarily mean that it was, or is, always appropriately practiced.
Why is it that some people can give selflessly, while others struggle with the idea? When they give, they feel that they must, or should, get something of equal (0r higher) value in return. Where generousity becomes more of a bargaining chip.

"Don't settle for less than you deserve." You hear it so often that it kind of makes your skin crawl just a little, doesn't it?
The phrase sounds good, in the beginning, but after a while and after seeing thousands of posts and images reminding you 'not to settle,' you start just to ignore the idea, and you still settle. You become numb and don't notice where and when or how you settle for less than you want or deserve.
In this episode, I'll share 5 signs that will help you identify if you settle and I'll also give you a worksheet to help you create change, one habit at a time.

Many of us try to hide from negative emotions because we’re programmed to believe they are “bad,” and we should try to avoid them at all cost. Rumi’s powerful poem, “The Guest House,” urges us to welcome all emotions with open arms because each experience brings with it a Divine Lesson, which is meant for our growth. Though welcoming these harsher “guests” may seem counter-intuitive, it is the fastest way to get through it - by being in reality and being present. Rumi suggests that welcoming these guests is the best way to soak up the lessons and the blessings of your life.

In the age of social media, we hear terms such as hate like. What does hate like mean, exactly? Well, I think it means pretending to like something someone else has done/achieved but deep inside you feel jealousy/envy or even anger towards them. So you hit the like button or send the congratulatory text, but you aren’t truly happy for them. But the hate like robs you of joy, fulfillment, connection and relationships. Not sure if you are a hate liker? The best way to know for sure is to monitor how you feel when others succeed. Does it awaken your inner critic, or do you genuinely celebrate for them? Does their success inspire you to dream of new possibilities, or does it drive you into a bit of a tornado of negative emotions? Read the show notes here: https://freewithin.me/hatelike/
Don’t put a question mark where the Universe has placed a period.
Have you tried to cling to a partner, a friend, a job or even an investment - even after it didn’t work out? You can see it now, (since hindsight is always 20/20) but at the moment, you kept forcing the question mark. You kept trying to make it work, to make it right.
The Universe speaks in whispers, and it's hard to learn how to be quiet enough to hear its messages. It's hard to learn how to trust your intuition.
But it's this intuition that leads you to know, understand, and accept when the Universe has placed a period in your path. Stop pushing and start listening to that still small voice inside you. It knows the way for you.

We've all been there. Frustrated. Tired. Losing faith and sleep and we think maybe we should stop chasing the big dream and just settle for something more "attainable".
In this week's post and podcast, I'm sharing four specific steps you can take when you feel like giving up on your big dreams and settling for whatever you can get.
Read the show notes here: https://freewithin.me/givingup/
When we’re younger, we dream big.
We tend to believe miracles are realistic. We have faith. We believe in endless possibilities. We dream, and we believe in those dreams.
But then we age. The miracles (as we had envisioned them) didn’t happen. We edge out our faith. Carving it out, slowly but surely and we begin to fill the void with fear. With anxiety. With helplessness. With settling for whatever we can get.
You start to lose faith in your dreams, and start cultivating what you think is "reality". You start to fence in your dreams.
Listen to this podcast to learn more about how to move the fence so you can enjoy the beauty of your life.

When I’m teaching people how to meditate, I like to use analogies to help students visualize the impact and importance of this skill. For example, a question I like to ask is “if you brushed your teeth this morning, would you skip brushing your teeth tomorrow morning or the morning after that?” It’s highly unlikely. Taking care of your teeth is essential. It’s also a twice-daily task that needs to be done to maintain your oral health (and your physical health). You wouldn’t usually brush your teeth once and assume you’re done for good. Why wouldn’t you engage in a daily, or twice daily, cleaning of your mind? Your brain is your body’s control centre. It deserves your attention, perhaps more than anything else. Read the full show notes here: https://freewithin.me/yourself/ and don't forget to sign up for our May 30-Day Meditation Course!
All mediation is relaxation, but not all relaxation is mediation. If you are using an app, or listening to someone's voice, you are relaxing not meditating.

5 Steps To Deal With Inner Turmoil
Today’s conversation is about inner turmoil. Something we all deal with at various times in our lives & quite frankly usually quite frequently. Because turmoil is just a disturbance. It’s more of an overload of thoughts, ideas, possibilities and you end up having that disturbance of your inner peace and I'm sharing with you five different ideas on how you can go from inner turmoil to inner creation. Because in my culture, in my believe system, I have been taught that that inner calm, the peace, the quiet, the gap between your thoughts - that's your natural state. So when you switch from inner turmoil to inner creation and you're not creating something new. You’re just awakening something that's already there.

If you’re anything like most people, then you may be more motivated by avoiding penalties than achieving a reward.
A penalty may be what’s needed to help you get over the initial hump of self-discipline that’s required to create massive change in your inner world.
In fact, putting money on the line apparently increases your chances of success by 3 X’s. You’re three times more likely to follow through because you don’t want to lose money.
