You know those times where you know what would make things better ...but you just don't want to do it.

Sometimes the reasons are known (effort or inconvenience involved). Sometimes the reasons aren't clear and you just watch yourself procrastinate—often with something ridiculous or rote.

Today we explore some of the underlying reasons we resist change and explore some creative work-arounds to get beyond them.

...Because resistance is futile (please say that in Darth Vader voice) + what you resist persists...

The key is to stop resisting resistance and flow into positive action.

YOU are being called to be/do/create something you've not been or seen before.

So, if you already know exactly how to be/do/achieve what you're after, you're not stretching. Your heart's desire will continue to dangle in front and gnaw at your curiosity until you go big.

It's annoying. Frustrating. Life will become increasingly unsatisfying, even if everything looks good from the outside.

...The only way to satisfy your curiosity and really make it come true is to know Who You Really Are, and make your way a little bit at a time with some infinite help along the way.

There's a lot of gray area and uncertainty in creation. Join this week to get some insights on how to make it easier.

If you keep ending up in/near the same place you started, it's because there is a fundamental misunderstanding of the subconscious and how it functions. Most conventional modalities approach the subconscious as an enemy and create an internal conflict that will never lead to greater coherence and self-esteem.

You can have a completely different experience once you have an accurate understanding of subconscious function and how to use it FOR you, instead of battling against it.

When there is nowhere to go, go IN.

When you feel like you are pressed on all sides, the opening is IN.

Things that "make sense" don't work the way they are "supposed" to.

The answers will not come from the outside. We have to find a way to connect with ourselves and our intuition to create the ease and outcomes we desire.

In this POWER HOUR we cover the ins and outs, what is working/not working when it comes to learning self-trust.

The dark night of the soul seems like it's never going to end.

"Now is the winter of our discontent" is a phrase that actually comes from a Steinbeck novel to express the idea that we have reached the depth of our unhappiness and that better times are ahead.

NOW is the time to take action and the call is to go IN.

In POWER HOUR this week we are going to

❄️ prepare for the end of the year,

🎁 the holiday chaos,

🧸 and all the feels that come with it.

So in this episode we are going to talk about it some--the Truth About Trauma:

☁️ behavioral changes and emotional habits that result

Change and growth aren't really comfortable or tidy processes.

But we can stop judging the hell out of ourselves and flow with more grace and ease.

...So if you feel like a shit show while all the shit's hitting the fan (all that old stuff that's coming up to go)...

Remember, you're awesome and things are okay--even if you and things stink and are all over the place right now, in the in between before things settle.

You don't always need more to DO or to work on.

Boundaries are a hot topic in the self-help and personal development industry.

But the emphasis and approach often create more work and require more energy than they save.

What if...

😖 instead of feeling anxious or afraid of what will happen if you set boundaries,

😖 or feeling like you're failing at life because you haven't been doing a great job

...that you could feel EMPOWERED and happy about boundaries 😀

...that made them easier to do? 🤩

This is the possibility I know and I will share it with you in this episode.

There's a real misunderstanding of what makes someone an asshole.

...It's not arrogance or intention.

It's insecurity.

The insatiable drive to prove/resist what one fears deep down is what creates that chip on the shoulder,

gets us to believe that what we say or do doesn't matter,

makes us defensive,

and then relieves us of the responsibility for our choices (our words and actions).

Things gets messy(ier) when you factor in your own healing process and working to establish boundaries that some people may not like.

🤔 So how do you tell the difference between setting boundaries and being unkind or inconsiderate?

🤔 How do you know if you're being the asshole or if it's someone else?

🤔 When do you stand up for yourself and when do you walk away?

...I'm going to cover all of this in more in a really powerful episode of POWER HOUR.

Change is constant.

...but there are times of great flux and flow and times when things are mellow and slow.

When we are in the intersection of the two and a lot of energies are shifting.

You may be very well aware of when this happens...or not-so-aware, and just feel "off."

This week, taking cues from the social media SNAFU (Facebook outage), Mercury Retrograde, and the New Moon we are going to:

💫 Learn how to look IN so that we can bring OUT and real-ize the future we'd like to have

💫 Learn how to to collaborate with the Universe and use the technology wired in us to create flow and ease, instead of tripping on your own feet

We are going to Infinity and Beyond in a very special way in this episode.

If you have tried to change something and it just won't budge, there is probably one thing you haven't tried...

It's counterintuitive.

It goes against what is considered "intelligent" or "rational."

It is f**ing hard to do when you are intelligent and/ or a "problem solver."

...But it's the "thing" that actually works to create space and open up possibilities for change and using the creative force of the Universe for you.

Yeah, it's self-love (I know you knew that from the title).

Do you have a hard time letting it go of mistakes?

A lot of us have taken on the role of abuser and continually beat ourselves up with a drive for perfection.

We deny ours and others' humanity.

But there is another possibility.

...Instead of a butt load of collateral damage to clean up or an endless replay of the drama, the pain can end.

It’s over.

There's nothing to “get over it” because there is nothing to get over.

This is freedom

...and the ease that becomes available when we come out of conditioning and allow ourselves to be human and make mistakes.

In this episode I address HOW TO HANDLE MESSING UP WITHOUT BECOMING A HOT MESS so you can:

Preserve your self-esteem
Maintain boundaries and healthy relationship dynamics, and

...No matter how much effort you put it, it seems that you always end up in the same place with the same struggles?

How do you go from where you are to where you'd like to be...and sustain it?

For most of us we think strategy, steps, action.

...or "fake it til you make it."

While these things will create change, often the change doesn't last.

In this episode you'll learn why "fake it til you make it" doesn't work and get the secret ingredient to sustaining change.

You CAN be, have, and do all that you hope, wish, and often doubt.

You've got feelings.

You trust your feelings.

When things feel so real, we believe it and take it as fact (and lived according to it).

But feelings are NOT facts.

And often everything we end up doing and trying is actually in REACTION to these feelings.

...and we actually (unconsciously) energize them by fighting them and trying to make them go away.

Our feelings become distractions in our lives and keep us stuck and looping instead of creating and enjoying our lives.

In this episode you'll learn some of the the differences between feelings, facts, and distractions so that you can actually get out of your own way and feel GOOD...that's what becomes available when we live by real facts, not just things that “feel” real.

Feeling drained.

Being a shit show.

Going into lock down mode.

...Whatever your process or what you call it, your emotions are a big part of who you are and a big part of your life.

But when they take over and you have trouble breaking out of depression, anxiety, attracting draining people, or even liking yourself no matter what you do or try.

In this episode Dr. JOYLYN Maniaci addresses some critical pieces to:

help you understand what's going on
why things aren't working

AND a few things to keep in mind and work with to:

maintain perspective and sense of humor and
show up in a way that actually raises self esteem and

This episode covers the relationship dynamics and the action steps to create the identity shift that has to happen in order to break out of emotionally draining habits and relationships...for good.

➢ Understand relationship dynamics fundamentals and the sequence/ process of change (so you can apply this to any area of your life)

➢ Learn the actions you must take to fully heal and to develop the skills necessary to allow an identity shift to take place

➢ Discover the "symptoms" of change so that you don't misinterpret data, give up too early, or fall back into an emotional habit

If there is something you would like independence from—

‣ negativing thinking,

‣ overthinking,

‣ negative self-talk,

‣ over eating,

‣ trauma,

‣ abuse, and

‣ your own emotions

Or

If there is something you are longing to have—love, affection, kindness, to feel listened to and cared for…

...You don’t have to waste your time trying to get it from someone else.

You can get to work building, developing, and fully expressing it.

Have you tried (and failed) to break a habit even though you really wanted to and knew it was bad for you?

There's a reason why we fail to reach our goals...

and it is NOT because they are unreachable or that we are inherently flawed.

The ways we've been taught to set goals actually pits us against ourselves and sets us up for failure:

• Basing goals on judgment and trying to fix something

• Misapplication/misunderstanding of how the subconscious works

• and more.

YOU aren't broken.

The system you learned is broken.

It doesn't work.

But using the latest research in neuroscience and quantum physics, we know better what DOES work and how to work it and make it work.

I'm going to share the why habit breaking is hard

and the HOW to make it easier to get change fast that lasts

You can’t help it.

Without even trying you can see the car careening off the side of the road...You see yourself crying at your partner/kid/pet’s side as they struggle to open their eyes...You are certain you are going to get sued...You know this isn’t going to end well…whatever it is.

The worst case is the first case to cross your mind.

Try as you might you just don’t seem to be winning in the battle to change your mindset; and trying to convince yourself that things are going to turn out okay is just more dialogue⏤an internal shouting match in attempt drown out the drone of the worst case scenario.

The options you’ve probably tried are:

・Become a control freak and work your ass off to make sure nothing ever goes wrong.

・Pretend things are fine and die inside while judging those stupid people who actually think things will turn out fine and then be annoyed when they turn out fine and continue to judge yourself for not being able to do the same.

・Or maybe you know this is a pattern and it can be unlearned and replaced…you just don’t know how.

In this episode I cover the habit of negative thinking

—how it became so dominant,

—the ONE thing you must NOT do if you’d like to be free of it, and

—the three keys to changing your default setting.

Do you agonize over decisions? Wonder if you should stay or go?

Do you doubt or second-guess yourself even when you thought you decided for sure?

Highly sensitive and highly intelligent people are often prone to these problems.

Our brains and nervous systems are super sensitive (cool!) but without training, can get overloaded and bogged down with too much information (boo!).

If you struggle with self doubt, second-guessing, proving, or somehow staying in unhealthy patterns too long, this is a must-listen.

I’m going talk about how to transcend and transmute these patterns so you can know you, love you, and care for you in ways that make a difference—result in higher self-esteem, audacity, calm, confidence, and happiness (and more!).

It’s called REAL Talk for a reason. No BS. No fluff. Pragmatics to make it possible.

In the middle of the process, it looks like everything is falling apart.

How you interpret the data, your attitude, your emotional comfort zone will determine how you respond.

If you want to live life on your terms, there are some habits that need to be put to rest and some skills to learn.

And there is one question that will facilitate and clarify both.

You don't feel heard.

You don't feel appreciated.

You feel lonely.

You don't really want to give up but you're not sure what else to do.

You can't seem to get through.

The solution is NOT to try harder.

It's not protecting yourself.

It's not necessarily breaking up.

And it's definitely not trying to change the other person or diminish yourself.

The solution is to un-learn, unwind, and untangle yourself from these 5 common habits of empaths.

Learn what they are and what you can do to break the habits that are creating pain, struggle, and distance into your relationship and what you can do to steer your relationSHIP into calm waters again.

This is a deep exploration into the relationship dynamics, the subtle communication patterns, and a touch on some brain stuff as we cover a big and nasty topic that is at the heart of every relationship problem I've ever worked with: family.

What was meant to be the source of connection and shaped our world view is often painful and misguided.

The suffering and difficulties you have are largely inevitable unless you know what is going on and what is available to change it.

You do not have to be the effect of your family.

You do not have to become your parents.

You cannot give your children anything you do not have, so it's time to learn a new way of being that is healthy and includes YOU.

Learn what do you do to change the patterns so you can grow up to be something other than your parents, break the generational legacy and give YOU and your kids a better model, idea, and knowing of success and happiness.

Empath or not, we've got questions, like:

How do you live in a world with other people, constantly barraged by energy, emotions, and other people's BS?
How do you free yourself from your own limiting beliefs and trauma patterns?
How do you communication so you are understood and received by the world because your caring heart just wants to be loved and to help?

In this episode of POWER HOUR I'm cover 3 common emotional and relationship patterns that empaths experience in their journey to fully embodying and embracing their gift.

INCLUDING the shadow side that no one is talking about and it can keep you stuck for a long time if you don't know what's going on...

...called being a victim.

It's a super tricky trick the subconscious uses to keep us "safe."

You'll find out about this and other "silent saboteurs" that keep you stuck.

CONFIDENT,

HAPPY,

We Myth-busted to reveal the following truths:

Intensity does not equate to truth
Emotional display is not caring or passion
There are no Good/Bad or Positive/Negative emotions

You can break free from the tyrannical grip of overwhelming emotions--PATTERN RECOGNITION IS THE KEY.

There are resources at the end of the video to help you deal with the big feels.

They work. USE THEM.

Being an empath is no joke. There's a lot of power in the ability to experience the experience of another. You pick up A LOT of information and sometimes even know what people are feeling before they do.

But if you're like a lot of us, you got the power, but you didn't get the handbook.

...so you just end up feeling overwhelmed and emotionally exhausted.

But really, how do you know? There’s no DNA test, no special birthmark to confirm it…

Here's something you probably already know...worry sucks.

Every definition of worry relates to mental anguish, persistent struggle...most often from something impending (hasn't happened yet).

It's not caring. It's not healing. IT'S NOT HELPFUL.

It's suffering, multiplied.

It's a misuse of imagination to energize a problem and create crap, and it disconnects you from the present moment (where joy is).

GET OUT OF STRUGGLE: Change the way you relate.

When you change the way you relate yourself, your feelings, your future, worry becomes a thing of the past.

Here's how you can do this for yourself:

Future Forward Focus. The priority is the target YOU set. So right away getting you in touch with YOU and looking to what it is you truly desire. You can stop feeling stuck or lost because you get DIRECTION.
Knowledge is power. Connect with an expert or coach. You will get a huge knowledge base (for instance, all of my experience, medical training, countless books put into video modules). You get to satisfy your brain's need for understanding, release the judgment that keeps you stuck and repeating detrimental patterns, as well as info on how to change habits so you can actually be happy and have harmonious relationships.
Keeping it REAL. I'm anti-fluff. So if you work with me YOU know that you're getting the real deal, the change you experience is real and sustainable. I won't coddle you so there's no way you can mire in your own BS. I will celebrate the shit out of you so that you cannot deny your awesomeness.

Are you ready to be #happyAF ?

There is a lot of talk about the importance of mindset these days. But there is a key piece missing in all this mindset talk that can leave you still questioning, unclear, and feeling alone. In this episode you will learn a new thought that will change how you feel about your place in the world and how you more than measure up.

Think of a dog chasing its tail. It's a game that loops onto itself. We often use emotions in the same way⏤by distracting ourselves with things that don't matter and investing our emotional energy into thoughts and endeavors that only bring us more of what we started with. This is one of the sneaky ways we put off being great or creating great things. In this episode I talk about how that works, why it is inherently unstable, and what you can do to get out of the looping cycle.

You know you want something different in your life than what's showing up, but when you really think about the alternative⏤peace, ease, abundance, whatever⏤it still seems far-fetched or just not as interesting and inspiring as you thought you'd think.

What's that about⏤Are you really opposed or resistant to those things?

There are lies about elevated emotions and states of being that we've been told, sold, bought, and believed to be true that keep us choosing the same 'ole shit. In this episode I talk about some of those lies and how we can uncover them, correct them, so we can actually have them and enjoy them as our new reality.

There are some lies about life that keep problems in existence in perpetuity...until we begin to see them as lies. THEN, new futures and possibilities become available and real. These are (some of) the lies that stick us and make problems last longer and some empowering ideas to unravel this current reality and make HAPPINESS available for you.

The only way to find out what is on the other side of "this" (whatever this is) is to let go. There is work that will go into getting to that point, but the time comes when there is nothing left.

Some shared experiences, insights, and words of encouragement from Dr. JOYLYN Maniaci and guest, Amanda Puckett.

Dating, Marriage, Entrepreneurship, Parenting...what do these all have in common? They are all about relationships and they are all about processes. There is no straight line or end point, so we've got to learn to love the process of creation in order to experience the success and not hate our lives in all the in-between.

Sometimes in order to move on we have to change the conversation. It's not that everything that could be said has been said, but all that is contributory has been said. And then what? Sometimes you just have to be bold and change the conversation so you can actually move on in the direction of the future.

This is a recording of an impromptu conversation about the current events and racial tension in the U.S. that I had with a friend. It ended up being a long conversation, so it is split into 3 parts for easier listening.

It is our aim to create a safe space to talk, listen, process, heal, lift up, and be lifted up. We invite you to join our conversation as we bounce ideas and process our own thoughts and feelings around these issues.

I invite you to continue the conversation with me in Relationship REAL Talk with Dr. JOYLYN Maniaci on Wednesdays at noon.

The truth is that “victim” and/or “perpetrator” doesn’t exist in the way we’ve been taught. The truth is that this is a dynamic, a collusion, and agreement that creates a reality.

This is the first exploration into the dynamics and roles of victim/perpetrator and the possibilities that exist beyond it and how to get there.
