Hope. One of my mentors reminds me that when I am hoping, I am not in the present moment. This isn't the kind of hope that I am talking about. I am talking about the kind of hope that occurs when a weight has been lifted. Sometimes, we know that we have been weighed down and sometimes we have no idea how MUCH we have been weighed down. Join me for this episode about hope, listening and truth. Thank you, husband, for the edit and thank you, Joe Seiders for the music. *Apologies for the audio as I...

Join Jen this week to discuss forgiveness, resentments and why holding on to all of it is bad for YOU. One of my favorite quotes is: "not forgiving is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to get sick." Another favorite quote is by Seane Corn about forgiveness: "You can't bypass the 'f#$! you' to get to the 'I forgive you." I think that many of us confuse forgiveness with condoning. Forgiveness has ZERO to do with condoning and everything to do with our own freedom. Thank you, as...

I Gotta Feeling... "Yet it is no mistake that to suffer means to feel keenly. For to feel deeply and precisely with full awareness is what opens us to both joy and sorrow. It is the capacity to feel keenly that reveals the meaning in our experiences." Mark Nepo Are you aware of how you are feeling?Do you feel overwhelmed? Irritated? Disconnected? Angry? Emotions/Feelings are light houses. They are directional signs for us. They alert us to keep going, change directions or to STOP. Sometimes, the...

One thing that I know for sure, is that change is certain. How we navigate that change, how we respond and interact with it, colors our life experience. If you are like me, you may label change as "good" or "bad", "necessary" or "painful". Maybe you like change.Perhaps you attempt to avoid it, ignore it and do your best to manipulate things so that it doesn't happen. Have you ever had the experience that the thing you so desperately wanted, you didn't get. And not getting it was the BEST thing t...

We end with a guided meditation focusing on the details of our personal freedom and how to cultivate more of i...
