#224 Your Day Your Way
Tuesday Nov 17, 2020
Tuesday Nov 17, 2020
What if one bad day was one too many?
So often we chalk bad days up to a given in our world. As if living every day in the energies we enjoy is too much to ask.
Most often this isn't a conscious choice – it’s us getting swept up by our environment and the people in it.
We match energies, mirror behaviors, adopt other’s thought processes - none of which serve our best interests.
Why? Because we are aware. Because we care. And sometimes because we are so considerate of others that swaying to them seems like the nicer choice.
But what if you could hold your own in the face of intense energies? Still be productive, responsive and engaged with others without losing you in the process?
Imagine moving through your day not having to give yourself up or fight for yourself either. Sounds too good to be true? Well it isn’t! It’s just a muscle to be built.
Join me on this week’s episode as I walk you through the why’s and the how’s.

#223 Progress: One Step at a Time
Tuesday Nov 10, 2020
Tuesday Nov 10, 2020
What if you’re life was progressing even if you feel like it isn’t?
Progress – in life, business and everywhere else – is not what it seems. It’s thought that we catch a wave and ride it to the finish line in one fell swoop.
We meet THE person, find THE job, create THE business and off we go with no pause or hiccup in sight. If only this were true…
Actually, creation / progress is more like an ocean. It ebbs and flows; undulating with waves that carry you and lulls that steep you in stillness. There are ups and downs and times when there is nothing to do but sit and be.
This can lead to frustration and tension as you push ahead trying to re-build momentum. Wasting your resources and making the journey more difficult.
Or the feeling like you should give up and try something else. Leaving whatever you have created thus far behind before it ever has a chance to bear fruit.
But what if you were progressing even in those ‘down times’? Could having more awareness of this process lead to more ease and choice along the way?
Tune into this week’s podcast to discover:
- A-ha’s on the creative process in all areas of your life
- Mindset traps that have you putting in more effort then in needed (and wasting your resources!)
- Sneaky ways tension, stress and disappointment take us off path
- Little known dance that helps you progress in all areas of living
- How to trust the process – and yourself! – in all that you chose

#222 The Bright Side: Lessons from Pollyanna
Tuesday Nov 03, 2020
Tuesday Nov 03, 2020
Do you play the glad game or the judgment game?
Pollyanna gets a lot of flak. Most call her naïve, annoying or checked-out.
Why? Because she sees possibilities where others see problems. She chooses to spend her time being grateful, not lost in a list of complaints like so many others.
And she isn't afraid of being a bright light when others are choosing to be dull or dark with their view points.
Most in the world play the judgment game. Spending their day - and most of their energy - proving what they got right and fighting what they got wrong.
But not her. She doesn't get lost in their drama or suffer their limitations.
She is also a great example of happiness without "positivity." (the flip side of negativity that traps some of us in unexpected ways)
Given the state of the world - with all its judgment and polarity - this is a needed exploration right now!
Tune in to discover:
- The trap of positive vs negative thinking and how to get un-stuck
- Surprising way to silence your inner critic
- A-ha’s on hidden judgments and how it may be dampening your happy
- Deep dive with a powerful tool from Access Consciousness to have more peace and freedom
- Lessons from Pollyanna on being a bright light even in the face of judgment

#221 Quieting Your Mind
Tuesday Oct 27, 2020
Tuesday Oct 27, 2020
The world is loud. But what if your mind didn’t have to be?
I know it sounds like a stretch – especially given the state of things lately! – but what if you could enjoy a sense of peace even if no one around you was?
A-ha moment: most of our mind spin isn’t ours! It’s simply our awareness of the world around us.
We all have a spidey-sense (that 6th sense of what’s going on below the surface of life). And it runs amuck sometimes.
As a result, we get too tuned into what’s around us and develop un-healthy patterns like:
- Fulfilling other’s needs above your own
- Overwhelmed to the point of inaction
- Living up to what's expected of you (since that's all you can see)
- Maintaining the status-quo
In my view, the mis-use and lack of education on this spidey sense is the main culprit of a busy, distracted mind.
The collective static of the world seeps inside us. It crosses the threshold of being someone else's and becomes your own. This is so lightning fast that it's hard to catch before it occurs!
I’ve spent YEARS tuning my own inner navigation system away from these un-healthy patterns. And educating myself on what I was aware of beyond their surface appearance.
Not letting things cross that threshold to become something that I had to carry for others. And not having to protect myself from it either.
I’d love to help you do the same!
Tune in to discover:
- #1 way we let the outside world dictate our choices – and how to stop it
- Ways to handle your awareness and sensitivity in intense moments
- Mindset shift that will immediately let you decompress and re-connect to yourself
- How to come out of reaction into action (this one may surprise you!)
- Surprising a-ha on how to reclaim your creative power in life (it starts with a quiet mind!)

#219 A Go-To for Better Relationships
Tuesday Oct 06, 2020
Tuesday Oct 06, 2020
What if you could take off your filters and see people as who they are? Without judgement, the need to understand them or react to their behavior?
We have a way of filtering our awareness of who people are. Rosy colored glasses hurt our ability to see when someone doesn’t have our best interest at heart. Dark tinted glasses keep us suspect to anyone reaching out and keeps support at bay.
Both of these filters – and others we’ll talk about in this episode – keep us from having authentic connections, ease with people and to allow our relationships to evolve over time.
Tune in to this week’s episode to discover:
- Why you feel stifled by people – and tools to help you not to be!

Tuesday Sep 29, 2020
Tuesday Sep 29, 2020
What if you could enjoy the creative process of your life?
So often we get distracted by the to-do’s in our life. Checking the boxes along our race to the finish line pulls our focus. As a result, we miss out on the magic, beauty and possibilities along the way.

#216 Control Freak? Try This!
Tuesday Sep 15, 2020
Tuesday Sep 15, 2020
Are you controlling yourself out of a happy life?
Control can show up in many different ways:
- People pleasing – winning people over gives you a special kind of sway with them
- Perfectionism – everything will be all right only if you're in total control of every detail (and get it just right)
- Domineering personality – we all know what this looks like!
- Withdraw and victim hood – ever use this to pull people your way?
No matter what tactic you use it all boils down to you having to be in the driver seat. Hyper-vigilant to every possible hazard on your path. And griping the steering wheel to control every nuance of direction.
But with this tight hold we cut out many of life’s unexpected pleasures – the off road-ing that can lead to a greater than planned destination and support along the journey.
Tune in to this week's episode to discover:
- Surprising a-ha’s on how control can show up in your life
- Awareness exercise to see how it may be hindering your life
- Perspective flip on how to give up your control tactics (my fav trick!)
- How to dynamically increase your receiving and “not in it alone” sense of support

#214 Handling Yourself with Care
Tuesday Aug 18, 2020
Tuesday Aug 18, 2020

Tuesday Jul 28, 2020
Tuesday Jul 28, 2020
What if taking the easy route was different then you thought?

#208 Freedom: Living Life on Your Own Terms
Tuesday Jun 30, 2020
Tuesday Jun 30, 2020
Are you looking for more freedom in your life?
To hear your inner desires and be able to navigate towards them? Without getting distracted or pulled off-course by others?
We all desire freedom. But so often our ideas of what freedom is or what creates it limits us.
We try to "win" it by fighting for our independence.
Taking a stand, drawing boundaries and justifying why we are doing what we're doing...
These seem to offer a sense of freedom at first. But it isn't long until we create tension and waste energy by trying to hold that line.
What if ultimate freedom - the knowing that you are inherently free! - was a key in changing this?
To live strong in your desires, confident in yourself and relaxed at the same time?
It's a very different possibility then most choose... but you can!
Tune in to this week's podcast to discover how to:
- Stop getting distracted by external stimuli
- Move beyond co-dependent relationships, self-doubt and lack of clarity
- Cultivate strength and softness to live a life full of joy and creativity
