We are all aware that we have blessings in our lives. However, when we get upset about something, the pain or suffering we feel can drown out everything else. Listen to this podcast to learn how to keep the awareness of our blessings—even through difficult times. Remembering our blessings sometimes helps us see the sun even on our darkest day.
It’s quite natural to want people to like us, but sometimes it causes us to compromise ourselves. Sometimes our need for people to like us prevents us from speaking our mind, which makes our relationships misaligned or puts our goals out of reach. Listen to this podcast to find the clarity and strength to stop centering your focus on making people like you and instead emphasize living a meaningful life with more joy, ease, and success.
How many times has someone said to you “let it go and just be happy” when you were really stressed about something in your life? While it sounds like great advice, often it is hard to just let go of our thoughts when we are stressed or worried about our jobs, children, financial situation or love life. Listen to this podcast to learn a method to emotionally prepare for unexpected or upsetting events so you can “let go” of some of your stressful thoughts and live with more joy and ease in the day...
I think most of us know what goals we want to pursue in our lives, but many of us are afraid that we can’t achieve them. So either we pursue these goals with tremendous fear and worry, or we don’t pursue them at all. But there's a wonderful phrase that I love to use that always helps me focus on my goals while letting go of the fear that my dreams are not reachable. I'm always amazed at how one little phrase can change my perspective. Listen to this podcast to learn this wonderful phrase and how...
Many of us do not pursue our goals or passions because we think that the “right time” has passed for these opportunities. We forget that time is not our enemy, but rather it is a blessing, giving us space to allow new possibilities to unfold. Neither your ability to find meaning in life nor your ability to manifest is bound by time. No matter your age or circumstance, there is still time for you to live your best life!
I recently attended a book talk by Paul Selig, a clairvoyant and spiritual channel for The Guides. During the talk, Paul stated “What you bless, blesses you. What you damn, damns you in return.” It can be challenging to bless those who hurt or betray us when we only want to damn them. But it may just be the key to our freedom. Please listen to this podcast to stop damning the people that hurt us and live more in the blessing of our lives.
September is a great time to reset! The summer is often an expansive time during which we spend more time outside, take some time off, and regroup with family and friends. We are usually in a better mindset to make some new commitments. However, whether we can keep these commitments often has to do with our ability to stay aligned with our core beliefs or life philosophies. Unfortunately, when we get stressed and worried, we forget these beliefs. Fear kicks in, moving us away from our true desir...
Uncertainty is very difficult for many of us. Some of us struggle with the unknown because we fear that we will lose something we love in the future. Others fear the unknown because they worry that they can’t achieve their goals, find love or heal a health problem. There is a mindset that you can embrace to live with more hope and possibility in the unknown future. Listen to this podcast to learn about this mindset and find a freedom to experience new adventures, joy and achievements.
Many of us know how to reduce our stress and worry, but we sometimes forget in the midst of our crazy lives. We can be overworked, stressed, or even generally chaotic about current events, any of which can cause us to lose our footing. This podcast will show you how you can easily create your own mantra, whether it be a word or an inspirational quote, that will can lead you back to center, helping you let go of your stress and worry.
Many of us know how painful it is to be rejected based on whether we are “good-looking” or not. Some of us feel like we have no agency in the world if we don’t come in a particular package. Yet, we have the power to transcend these belief systems to assert our true power. We can only control our own perspective, but our own perspective is enough to find our value. We can align with our true worth and forge forward with greater focus on our goals and dreams. Listen to this podcast to find your ow...
When we expect things to happen and they don’t, we can feel disappointed. However, we often fail to realize that our expectations are merely stories that we write about how we think life will move forward. If these expectations aren’t fulfilled, it doesn’t mean we aren’t still okay. We often have many possibilities to still achieve our goals. Listen to this podcast to learn how to expect less, and gain so much more in your life!
Whether it's overeating, smoking, or drinking too much, many of us have a bad habit that we want to break. Most bad habits start by alleviating some of our suffering, providing some relief. The problem arises over time, as most bad habits wear us down emotionally, physically and spiritually. We rely more and more on this habit to give us relief from our stressors while the habit wreaks havoc in our lives. Listen to this podcast to learn a three-step method that can help you break a bad habit and...
When we care about people, we feel the urge to give them advice when they struggle. But sometimes we give advice when people don’t want it, which can make them feel like we don’t trust them to handle things on their own. They might just want us to listen and be present for them as they figure things out for themselves. If we do have important wisdom to share, we can always ask the people we care about if they would to like to hear our opinion. This way, we can respect their boundaries and make s...
So many of us feel dissatisfaction with some aspect of our lives. When we think about achieving our goals or bettering our lives, we can feel as if our lives are not good enough today. Of course, there is nothing wrong with striving to better ourselves, but it sometimes can come at the cost of overlooking the glory of what is right in front of us. Our entire lives can open up if we recognize that this moment is enough. Now, this doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to improve our lives, but allowing th...
Our friends and family can tell us their opinions on what to say, where to go, and what to do, but only we can know the lives we truly desire. However, many of us don’t take the time to be quiet so that we can come to know who we are and what we want. We don't realize that through the quiet we can feel our passions, our desires, and our peace. We can cultivate a true understanding of our individual life purpose, finding more joy and success in the days to come. Listen to this podcast to find out...
Most of us have had an unexpected or painful experience in our lives from which we’ve tried to mine lessons or morals to help us move forward. But sometimes we aren’t able to find true wisdom because we get stuck in the story of who or what hurt us. And then we use these stories to try to avoid the pain in the future. Yet eventually, the stories hold us back. It is only the wisdom that we cultivate from these experiences—whether it be greater self-love or resilience—that acts as the true light, ...
Self-texting is therapeutic. Sit down and text yourself when your emotions are running high or when you need to express yourself without worrying about how it will make someone else feel. When you send the text to yourself (instead of the original intended recipient), you get the opportunity to not only say what you need to say but to also press send! Then, when you receive the text, you have the time to read it and consider how the words sound. You get the space to cool off and be more thoughtf...
Over the course of a day, many of us accumulate all of the emotions we feel. We have trouble letting things go. In this podcast, I share a technique to help you put down the hurts, stresses, and disappointments even just for a moment so that you may enjoy what is in front of you. This technique will give you more space from your thoughts to help you achieve your goals and find joy in everyday life.
Endings can be so difficult and unexpected. We can lose a job, a relationship, a loved one, or our health. Regardless of what the circumstances are, endings can leave us devastated and directionless. During these times, it is best to remember that with every end eventually comes a new beginning. Maybe life will be better naturally or Maybe we need to make the best of whatever happened. Either way, uncertainty can be our best friend because it leads us to new possibilities if we are willing to ke...
People can say all kinds of stuff about us—about our looks, our intelligence, or even job prospects. And sometimes, it can be hurtful. However, we need to always remember that, just because someone says something about us, it doesn’t mean it’s true. In order for us to figure out what we should believe (and not believe), we need to be able to value ourselves enough to explore how we truly feel and what really resonates with us. We must clear away the outside chatter to allow ourselves to find our...
We all have a vision of how we want the world to be. Most of us want to see more love and kindness— both in our daily lives and in the world. At the same time, many of us feel like we need to protect ourselves from a world that is cruel and uncaring. But if we close our hearts, we disconnect from that loving vision we have for both our lives and the world. An open heart may feel more pain, but it also has the unparalleled capacity to cultivate loving strength and resilience and inspire action to...
Life is always calling us forward, but sometimes we don’t listen. We stand still and say ‘this is my life, this is who I am, and this is what I do.’ But life isn’t stagnant—things change, we lose jobs, relationships end, we get hurt. When life changes and we are standing still, stuck in how we thought life would be, we can miss life trying to guide us towards the beauty of the moment and new opportunities that might come our way.
Some of us say we’re sorry all the time, but we don’t need to be! We apologize to get people to like us, to avoid conflict, or because we’re afraid to speak our mind. But when we say we’re sorry and don’t need to be, we are not valuing our true selves. If you did something wrong and you want to apologize, great—apologize! But if you are apologizing when you haven’t done anything wrong, you often step away from your true power and your ability to blossom. Please listen to this podcast to stop apo...
Many of us compare ourselves to others with regard to our looks, our jobs, and the money we have (or don’t). Most of the time when we make these comparisons, it makes us feel bad about ourselves. We fall into the trap of believing that other people have more than us and that we will always be less than. There is nothing wrong with finding inspiration or direction from other people, but in order to realize our true power, we must honor our authenticity and find our own individual path to success....
So many of us try to protect ourselves by not trusting other people. Yes, we do need to try to make good decisions for ourselves, but if we make our entire lives about a lack of trust in other people, we will close our hearts to new experiences. A better approach may be learning how we can trust ourselves. This way, no matter what happens, we will trust that we can handle whatever comes our way, even if we get hurt. Focusing on trusting ourselves allows us to have the strength to open ourselves ...
Most people feel great when they can tie up loose ends, but we are often faced with situations where ‘closure’ isn’t possible. We find this most in our relationships with other people. We can have a bad breakup, an argument, or even a slight disagreement, and as hard as we try, we just can’t make things right with someone. The truth is that life can be messy sometimes, and all we can do is accept things as they are. Through our acceptance, we acknowledge that we can’t change the messiness, but w...
Wouldn’t it be great to make your own rules, always be your authentic self, and love what you do each day? So many people these days are encouraging us to find our own path or follow our bliss. Although this can be a wonderful new journey, if we don’t love ourselves or have a secure identity, we will suffer greatly—we might not even have the strength to make necessary changes. Please listen to this podcast to cultivate self-love and resilience to launch your new journey and achieve your goals....
It can be difficult to navigate how to respond to people when they are rude or obnoxious to us. Our inclination might be to respond harshly, but this type of response can create more drama. Often it is best to take a pause and contemplate how our response will serve us. Sometimes it is best to let things go and other times we can cultivate a response that fosters our goals. Either way, focusing on how our responses will serve us moves us away from needless drama and towards more peace and joy....
Trying desperately to know ourselves can be just another way of being addicted to certainty. We seek safety in knowing our capabilities and our path to success. But defining ourselves as a certain type of person limits our possibilities. We end up stationary when everything around us is changing. If you want more success, then claim to know yourself less!
As much as we care about the people in our lives, there are many times that we leave important things left unsaid. We always think people know how we feel, but sometimes the people we care about have no idea how much we love them or how meaningful they are to us. Don’t leave it to chance. Time passes quickly, and we don’t want to miss out on giving one of greatest gifts we can give—that is, just letting those we care about know how deeply we feel for them.
