This is the last installment of this season's #holidaysurvivaltipsandtricks. I will return in a few weeks for season 7 of #soulcarewithangiefadelpodcast. Take care, be kind to yourself, and remember you are loved. In this episode, I get into the f-up thing that often happens in families or friend groups when we are the ones that say NO MORE, tell the truth no one wants told, and drag those skeletons out into the open. Unfortunately, what usually happens is that the truth-teller is rejected, ostr...

This is the 5th installment of our container building #holidaysurvivalguides and #holidaytipsandtricks. We've been building for over a month now and things are getting (at least for me) more pressured, busy, and demanding on time, resources, and NOs and YESes. So let's talk about it- I don't want to pretend that I don't have days where I wonder where my boundaries went or wish I had not put so many things in my schedule, but I'm trying and using the tools, some days are just more taxing than oth...

We are still building our containers to not only get us through this season, but attend to our needs, wants, and desires, and notice where the tenderness resides. We started with Building A Container For Tender Times, and we Showed Up For Ourselves In Tender Times, and then practiced slowing down with We Need To Feel It In Order To Excorise It. Today we bring it all together by continuing to build the muscles of our containers and notice how we can deeply love ourselves. Grab a candle and join a...

We have been building a container to handle the demands, pressures, expectations, and all around fuckupedness that can happen in this season, and this week we add another layer, level, or stabilizer to that container because most of us (me included) can use all the help we can get. We started with Building A Container For Tender Times (creating personal mantras for this season), then we Showed Up For Ourselves In Tender Times (making a list of what we’ve said yes to around this time of year and ...

This is the second installment for building your container in tender times #holidaysurvivaltipsandtricks. I will be off for the next two weeks so you can go back and listen to previous holiday survival guides. In this episode, I build off the mantra work from last week and talk about ways to make our container strong so that we can own our NOs and our YESSES with fewer regrets and resentments. Keep listening and building on what you've already been working on - creating room, space, time, moment...

This is the first episode in my reoccurring series #holidaysurvivaltipsandtricks this might be the longest-running thing I've ever done and it is deeply rooted in my own survival and the survival of those closest to me. How do we protect our most tender selves in a time that no matter what you believe in or where you come from can be fraught? You could tap out of the whole season, not see another problematic person and still have things come up for you. In this first episode, I want to talk abou...

What someone thought was your biggest weakness might actually be your biggest strength. In my formative years, that thing in me was my sensitivity for others and the world and my love for the "other". My parents didn't get it and were embarrassed by it I was taught to hide it and be ashamed of it. It for them was a weakness that they considered my Kryptonite. They hated it (or at least that's how I interpreted it) unless they needed it- so I would watch out for my siblings, obey, fall in line ea...

I Am Only Responsible For Today, I Am Only Responsible For Today, I Am Only Responsible For Today, this was the #mantrafortherestofus I posted on Monday (it's been a minute since I've done my Monday mantras), and with breath and awareness I set out to try and do just that this week. And true to form Tuesday it felt like everything unraveled. Did it actually unravel? No, I just think that because I was paying attention to my desire to take one day at a time I was hyper-aware when things felt like...

In this week's episode, I have two main topics I want to talk about- the first is about doing our own work and not asking others to do what we haven't done or aren't willing to do whether you are a therapist, spiritual director, teacher, parent, friend, basically anyone. Think about what you are suggesting/asking and whether you are trying those things in your own life as well not just telling others to do it. Secondly, loving and healing is complicated and can be a very long process with ups an...

REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE. What the hell does that even mean? I've been asked some form of this question many times- why would I want to remember that, I'm terrible, unlovable, not enough, or some variation of those? But that isn't what I mean when I look into the eyes of my children, or friends, or your eyes I'm looking deep and speaking to that ancient, child, innocent, playful, curious, part of you and saying -remember. That's what I call out in myself and that's what I call out in you. That's wha...

Part One: Who am I? It has been a while since I've talked about who I am and what I do. Those of you that have been around for a while will know what I do and those of you that are new to the podcast welcome! I have a MA, SF, and am a Certified Spiritual Director and Supervisor (this is new to some of you. I got my Supervision training this last year so if you are looking for someone who can offer Supervision hours - I could be that person), I created Meditative Archery, Mindful Archery, Family ...

So much good stuff going on in my mind and heart--have I figured out my sadness around my birthday? A little bit and I even got a more profound revelation while talking with you all on here. Where does the Autumn Equinox fit in you might be asking? Well... It provides us with possibilities for new rhythms, possible slowing down, new rituals, and opportunities for trying out things and seeing what fits, what feels good, what doesn't feel good, and in the spirit of Equinox letting things go- clean...

If I've said it once I've said it a 1,000 times my birthday makes me feel discombobulated. If you can relate you'll love this episode and if you can't relate I guarantee someone you love can and they need you to understand where they are coming from. In this episode, I will bare a little of my soul (as usual) and let you into new revelations I've had surrounding my own birthday and the street it brings me because... We all long to be loved, celebrated, remembered, etc. and that's one of the reas...

Everything Is Dying And Being Reborn it's the truth whether we want to admit it to ourselves or not -- we are dying and being reborn, our plans, our relationships, our bodies, etc. In this episode, I talk about my experience with this concept and the path to the BEING REBORN part. I'm not suggesting there should be optimism, bright side looking, toxic positivity, because I don't believe that there won't be grief or rage, anger or hopelessness, fear or freeze, with the loss and death and it is in...

Hey, you all! I haven’t been hiding or avoiding this podcast- which I love but as you probably have guessed I took an unintentional break thanks to getting Covid and how that plus some other things has affected my overall health. I needed to figure some stuff out and rest a bit. I’m back now with my 6th season. And I can’t wait to see what’s in store for all of us trying to do good, take care, and love ourselves and others well. Also, if you want to reach out and ask a question go to angiefadel@...

This episode is very tender for me because recently I have been doing loving work with my 8 year old self (picture in podcast art) and all the things she was told or interpreted to be true about her which in fact weren't true at all; the things that shaped me into the person I am today; the things that forced me to be an adult way before my time; to be responsible for what I should never have been responsible for; ALL OF IT. Giving that child space to breathe, laugh, love, play, be a little care...

If you are someone suffering from a chronic illness or chronic pain this episode might be helpful for you. My last #mantrasfortherestofus is where this conversation began and I am continuing to look at my own complicated relationship with chronic pain, illness, and a push to not rest which is deeply rooted in my immigrant family history. If you are interested in the books by Dr. John Sarno chick on this link. I am currently accepting new clients you can book an appointment, archery workshop, or ...

We come into this world full of curiosity, wonder, and a non-self-consciousness as kids we play make-believe without a care in the world - we are just discovering the world around us. For the rest of our lives, I think we are attempting to get back to ourselves (except maybe somewhere in our middle years when we might care too much the world says we should be). Ultimately we want to be free again to engage the world with wonder, freedom, and the original spark that lit us up with life. In this e...

Every time I think we will get a little break maybe catch a breather from the constant influx of stress I am wrong and another thing or 5 come at us. It is enough to make the most enlightened human want to crawl into a hole and hide out for a while. This week has been one of those weeks so much trauma and pain happening to us and around us. I myself have felt like all I can do is put one foot in front of another and try and do only what I have to do to keep things running but not much more than ...

This episode is about the clichés that we say and believe but are also true- just breathe, it will look better in the morning, you can only do what you can do, etc. We may feel foolish when we say these things but there is also deep truth to be found in their simplicity. The paradox of holding simple and complex things at the same time, anger and peace, grief and joy (for more on paradox follow my friend Kathy Escobar ). Feelings that seem to be opposites but there is still something new and bea...

This week on the pod I have brought you one of my archery students and a newish friend (to me and now you) -- Yoga therapist, Sarah Nelsen . In this episode, we talk about what brought Sarah to this Somatic practice and specifically to the demographic of those of us living with chronic illness. We don't shy away from the difficulties surrounding trying to live fully in a world that doesn't see, believe, or make space for them. The POWERFUL it is to sit, listen, hold space, and believe someone --...

In this episode, I want you to come on a journey with me to figure out if it is possible to find peace in the middle of all the f-ing shit happening around us right now. Is it possible to feel what needs feeling so that we can move through those difficult emotions and not take the rage and anger out on those we love or innocent bystanders? I'm not sure but just thinking of the possibilities in today's podcast helped me not feel quite so controlled by what's happening and let peace and not peace ...

There are almost always swears with anything I do, so be warned if you are listening with kids or you don't enjoy a bit of spicy language. Trigger Warning! I'm talking about abuse in this episode with no details but it might be hard for some. In this episode, I'm relooking at what it means to be someone's believer but from a different angle - How to not fall into the trap of being complicit. First thing first when someone shares and traumatic story with you believe them! I know this might sound ...

In this episode, I will take you into the woods with me. While we hold the Yes/And from last week and add its sibling (inner wisdom) or its equal partner and expand out from there. We will try and cultivate a way of being in ourselves that no matter what is going on in and around us - broken appliances, stress at work, children, friends, partners, climate, war, racism, and the all-around noise and not allowing the inner and outer racket to prevent us from learning to hear our inner wisdom. Unfor...

Welcome to season 5 episode 1 in this episode I unpack the wisdom, power, and clarity that comes from leaning into and saying Yes/And to ourselves and more importantly our inner wisdom. I've discussed Inner Wisdom in previous seasons but this is a new level and layer to unpack and get comfortable with - the idea of knowing we truly have ourselves and we can trust ourselves. We can trust ourselves enough to lay down our armor (even if just for a bit) and let others see us and let us be seen by ou...

Season 4 wrap and my 90ith episode!!! I can't believe this is the final episode of my fourth season, that I have completed 90 episodes, and other than my amazing guests have done this on my own. Yes, I have had a lot of love, encouragement, and belief along the way but to really make it happen I had to believe in myself - huge for me especially around technical stuff. For all of you listening from the beginning, a big thank you, and for all of you who have found me more recently thank you for gi...

Holidays are hard for everyone! We are all bringing expectations, hopes, dreams, traumas, and griefs to name just a few and they are all smooshed together to create a vulnerable and possibly reactive state. In this episode, I unpack something that is happening in and with me at the moment. I hope this unpacking will also be helpful to you as you navigate the complexity of dealing lovingly with yourself as you also deal with others. Please take care of yourself and remember that it is okay to tak...

Getting what you need any time of year is super tricky so in this episode, I unpack it and also give you tangible ways to help make it through - putting lots of things in your back pocket. I want you to survive this Holiday season and remember that you are worth more than just surviving. Need a little extra help check out my most recent blog post I have spent the last 20 years working in and on my own and others' deconstruction and would love to help you find the support, love, and acceptance yo...

Feelings not matching the sparkle of the season? Wondering why you don't have the happy glow and holly jolly reverie that everyone else seems caught up in? It could be that there are present sad, mad, bad, feelings that need to be felt, or maybe it's stuff squeaking out from childhood holidays past. Whatever it is it deserves our loving attention either in the moment or if that's not safe or appropriate creating safe ways and places later in the day to feel and express what needs felt and expres...

This is my holiday pocket protector for you I truly hope it helps. In this episode, I walk you through 3 short practices that you can try during the holidays (or tomorrow before you see family). These three practices make up a whole practice meant to help you ground, center, and embody as much of yourself as you can no matter what situations you might be facin...
