Read MoreCourageous Action: How to Find Your Courage
Courage. It takes courage to look at your life and to say, “I want to do this thing differently,” and to then take the steps needed to get you there. Because without taking new actions, how can you live the life of your dreams? Same old thoughts, same old feels, same old actions, same old…
Read MoreEp #22: Inner Child
If you’re an adult existing in this world, you’ve probably had a full-on temper tantrum at some point – one worthy of any toddler. Afterward, you might have even been bewildered at how upset you felt and why you had such a strong reaction, often to things that are actually pretty mundane: your boss ignoring…
Read MoreEp #21: You’re a Human Being Not a Human Doing
Self-care and self-love are some of today’s biggest buzzwords. These concepts, while useful at their core, have become associated with an external state: laying on a beach, unbothered by work or the rush of everyday life, soaking up nature (and maybe a fancy drink). It looks pretty nice, but this idyllic (and expensive!) depiction can…
Read MoreEp #20: Expectations and the “How-To” Guide to Other Humans
When people don’t act just the way we want them to, it can leave us feeling frustrated or neglected and can send us down a path of negative thinking and emotions. Why? Because, consciously or not, we’ve created “how-to” guides for how those close to us should behave and we tie a lot of emotions…

Read MoreEp #18: Negative Self-Talk
We all say things like “I’m the kind of person who ____” and we fill in the blank with negative attributes like “doesn’t work out” or “could never eat less sugar.” We have this idea of ourselves in our heads and think that those traits are set in stone. In reality, they are not fixed…
Read MoreEp #17: Stress Response Cycle
We live in high-stress times and we feel it coming from all sides––work, friends, family, politics… it can often feel like its building up in our bodies until we want to burst. A not-so-fun fact: Stress contributes to millions of deaths a year, even though it is largely preventable. On today’s show, we’re talking about…
Read MoreYou Don’t Have To (You Get To) Change Your Story
Have you been rolling around in “have-to” stories? Are you feeling burdened by all the things you “have to” do today? You’re not alone. It’s so easy to get wrapped up in the stories of the things you “have to” do—from brushing your teeth or following a specific nutrition plan, to meditating or showing up…
Read MoreEp #16: You Don’t Have To (You Get To)
We all get bogged down by the feeling that we HAVE to do things and it demotivates us to get them done. Whether it is cutting out coffee or cleaning the house, feeling the external pressure to do something makes it difficult to feel like you want to do it. However, we always have the…
