Week Two: Allowing for Patience and the act of Slowing Down
Week two of my journey at the new job has been about leaning into patience.... of myself. Slowing down and being OK with not knowing... allowing myself time, space, ease and grace to get to know the company culture and ways of working a bit more. I haven't worked in a work environment that really allows space and honors people's feelings and emotions before, it's an incredibly beautiful thing to be a part of, but also asks for a shift in my state of being and operating. I'm being asked to slow d...

The Start of My Dream Job at Sounds True
Sharing what week one of Sounds True has been for me, a combination of gratitude and fear (the fear part I wasn't anticipating), but I did want to take a second to document my journey in its entirety. More to come! Grateful for the start though even if I'm still navigating through the integration.

The Start of the Inner MBA Program: Beginning with the End in Mind
The program I am going to focus on today is the Inner MBA , a program put on by Sounds True, LinkedIn, Wisdom 2.0, Mindful NYU, and a few additional organizations. The Inner MBA is "a nine-month immersion program to train leaders, entrepreneurs, managers, and employees on how to powerfully grow themselves and their companies" (Inner MBA website) We had our all-day orientation yesterday and I was amazed at what the team was able to accomplish. We had close to 1,000 of us gathered from over 50 dif...

30 Days of Authenticity Week Three Reflections: I am Enough
30 Days of Authenticity. Day 21. I am Reflective Lots surfacing for me today. I wrote a blog and recorded a video about it all here: https://www.justmariakv.com/post/30-days-of-authenticity-i-am-enough But the bottom line is that through my work this week, my allowance of what is, my being willing to show up exactly as I am (which this week was heartbroken) showed me that I can be loved and accepted for who I am, just as I am. Something I never fully realized before the activities of the past we...

The tools I equated navigating those fears is curiosity and trust with the unknown, and being brave and w...

How I am being compassionate with myself
I think it's important that we are all compassionate with ourselves right now. One of the key things I got from Amy Leo in 30 days of Love (and there were a lot of beautiful and profound moments within that particular journey), was that we are only ever able to operate from our current level of consciousness/awareness. As I'm diving in to do the work, I'm realizing that there are all kinds of things both within myself and within society the world around me that I have put up with. But I think it...

To Love Someone is to Take them on As Yourself
That's a quote I love from Teal Swan and a pretty good defining statement for my life in its current moment. Remember when we thought life was challenging in 2019? To say that these last few weeks have been a bit intense is a bit of an understatement. I wanted to take a second to step back, slow down, and share what this journey has looked like for me. Step One: Realizing our Interconnection and saying Enough is Enough It started with working through Day 26 of the 30 Days of Love series through ...

Finding the Need for Balance
I have actually felt a bit overwhelmed yesterday and today, I have been struggling with focus. This entry.is going to be a bit harder for me to put into words but I am going to try. I've recently tuned into a man named John Wineland and he talks about how we have two energies within us - masculine and feminine. I knew that before (that I'm made up of both) but I didn't really understand what that meant, or the difference between the two. The masculine energy is related to consciousness/action/fo...

Accepting What Is
This particular podcast is about really trying to get to a state of acceptance (haven't fully got there yet, but I'm getting closer), where I'm appreciating what is, acknowledging what I want, and opening up the space for me to be able to receive it. Phew! Lots of internal work going on here, but it's like I'm laying the foundations for the rest of my life, so despite the discomfort, I'm grateful.

I AM Enough
Today, I have changed the story that I have been telling myself to realize that I am enough, JUST as I am. I have been saying this for a few years, it's my mission on my website, but I didn't really understand what it full meant, and now I do. With 30 Days of Love with Amy Leo and Intention Inspired we have been weaving our way through the intentions of I am Enough and I am Unbroken. I've been so grateful for this because as these deeper truths sink in I am able to not only re-create my own stor...

Riding the Waves of Grief
I've realized that there waves of grief. Yesterday, I was feeling so good! I had done a burning ritual and released stuff with the full moon, but today? Today I woke up sad. I woke up sad and feeling really lonely. I was sad and a bit upset with myself. "Why am I not fully healed yet? Why isn't this heartache gone? I thought I had released it all!!" But I'm learning to not judge myself for these feelings that I am allowing to surface, to hold myself. To love myself. To know that they are tempora...

Episode 11: I've realized this all about learning to love myself
Update on the podcast with my current moment in time. I've realized I'm going to use my podcast to record my thoughts throughout the journey, and my blog/youtube once I feel like I've reached the A-HA moment (this might shift though, but its how I'm feeling right now) I've come to the realization that my most recent heartbreak and the deep dive that I'm doing in 30 Days of love has nothing to do with anyone else but me. It's about me learning how to truly love myself. If you would like to join t...

30 Days of Love: Day 2 I am Humble Reflections
I loved the reflection today on the role of the ego. I have been turned off by many spiritual teachers and programs with the idea that the ego is something that is "bad" and needs to be "mastered" or even "killed." For me, personally, I find ease and peace with the idea learning to love my ego, to appreciate it's desire to want to protect and also it's desire to be seen and heard. Learning to come into a healthy relationship and balance with my ego has been key and it's something that I work on ...

My Heart Awakening (Part Two.. or Three)
There is so much going on in my current moment that it's been hard for me to find words for it, but I am trying. At the base of it all is an expansion of my level of consciousness that has been caused by awakening and stirring within my heart, but I'm in a bit of awe and wonder at everything that seems to be coming in at this current moment in time.

Episode 8: Trust
During this episode, I realized that what is allowing me to make peace with all of the uncertainty that's showing up in my life - is when I'm able to get that moment of trust. Trusting in myself, but also trusting in the fact that I am not going through this alone.
