This podcast is devoted to freeing our creativity, awakening our senses and enlivening our understanding of what it means to be human.
I want to offer a different perspective on decision-making and why it’s important. So many of us have trouble making decisions and I think that's largely due to the way we relate to decision-making. I hope that you walk away from this episode with a deeper understanding of why decisions help us and a way to look at decisions that feels more supportive and helpful.
On today's episode I'm sharing a brief look into why I moved from a well-paying and "stable" job to entrepreneurship. I also share three key reasons that I LOVE business and why I think everyone would benefit from working for themselves.
In today's episode we explore the creative process and its role as we create something new, whether that be a business, or any other creative endeavour. I share three stages of the creative process and how understanding and knowing these stages can support us forward.
Sometimes when we're in pursuit of our business goals, we can find ourselves rushing the process. On today's episode we explore and unpack why this happens, and why it's not always useful. Slowing down can sometimes be exactly what we need to create a business and life that we absolutely love.
I invited my new friend Rasheed to join me on the podcast today. Rasheed is an example of someone who's willing to do life on his own terms. He's a joy to speak to, a lovely soul and shares loads of wisdom nuggets for us all.
In this episode we're talking about freedom. Most particularly, the freedom we can only find through the freeing of our minds.
As humans we half-ass our way through our decisions all the time. (I say that with a cheeky grin on my face) In this episode we create some awareness around what kind of thinking contributes to this kind of decision making. Through a lens of awareness and non-judgement, we can better able catch ourselves in these moments, and bring ourselves back to more wholehearted, conscious decisions and therefore a more wholehearted and conscious life.
Getting unstuck requires some serious (or not-so-serious) decision making. And the more wholehearted we can make those decisions, the more wholehearted our lives can be. Check out this episode to start the process of turning indecision into wholehearted decisiveness.
Today's episode touches upon a challenge that we all come up against at some point in our lives, feeling STUCK. In today's episode I aim to help build clarity on the reasons we get stuck and share four useful strategies that will help you overcome your own "stuckness".
How do you approach adventures in your life? Are you excited about them? I don't know about you, but I find that when I'm gearing up for some travel or for a camping weekend, I'm so full of joy and anticipation. My brain is focused in the direction of joy. Even amidst all the uncertainty that is there, I'm focused on the possibility of happiness.
I can't help but wonder what would happen if we could utilize that same mode of thinking with the uncertainty of life.
What would happen if we used our adventure skills towards our life? 🤔
On today's episode I want to mix a little woo-woo with a little practicality and bring up a concept that is near and dear to my heart. As a human, do you believe in purpose? Do you believe in destiny? This is a taste of where we're going with our journey today. I hope it leaves you curious and with added interest in connecting inwards.
To create new things for our lives it's useful to shift our notion of what's probable. That's what this short and sweet episode is all about: creating what's probably by shifting our potential and our ideas of what's possible.
Today's episode is devoted to thoughts and, more specifically, to the idea of thought commitment. Our energy goes to whatever we're most committed to. But sometimes it's hard to tell where that is. Our brains can be tricky SOBs. Bringing awareness to our thoughts can help us see where we're currently committing and assessing if we'd like to recommit.
Thought commitment. It's a powerful way to create.
Today I want to share the 3rd step in 'Doing the Heartwork' and it's all based on the act of decision-making. Using Decision-making as a means of creation.
The creation of our lives depends a TON on the state of our nervous system. When we help ourselves feel safe and supported, we have a much better chance of finding our own sense of resiliency. And when we are resilient, there's nothing that can stop us.
On today's episode I want to share the significant impact that recognizing and becoming aware of our thoughts has on the creation of our lives. It's step #1 of Doing the Heartwork and the most important aspect to making change in our lives. I hope you enjoy!
Today's episode takes last week's conversation on creativity and weaves it into my favourite 3 steps to doing the Heartwork. We also get into the nitty gritty of why Heartwork is so important in helping us create our own unique and authentic existence. I hope you walk away with some new thoughts or ideas to bounce around in your brain.
