What pleasure of living is possible that you have yet to enjoy?
Most of what we are taught in life - not to mention self-improvement and development content - is focused on fix-its to take us from pain to no pain.
We are even taught that in marketing seminars... Find people's "pain points" and offer them a way to get out of it.
As a result we are trained to seek the middle ground of no pain like it is the end all be all - enough money to reach our set goals, no body pain, marginal change in our relationships, a slight uptick in the success of our businesses...
But what if seeking out the middle ground - aka mediocrity - is holding us back from the utter pleasure of a life well lived, loved and more expansive then we can possibly imagine?
In this episode we'll explore:
- The limiting trap of seeking no pain
- How to move out of fix-it mode into the pleasure factor
- Simple pleasure- generting questions to ask daily
- How to use your body as a guide for and to more pleasure in every area of your life

What if there was a way to declutter your mind, change your behavior patterns and create new ways of functioning - with ease?
There are many pitfalls within the mind but the biggest one is when we personalize our internal noise, triggers from the world around us and behavioral uh-ohs and identify it as us.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
You are not your mind.
You are so much more then the compilation of your thoughts, reactions and behavior patterns.
Clearing your mind through presense and awareness is a powerful way to explore who you are beyond all of that noise.
The result? Enjoying more space, peace and room to chose in each moment.
In this episode we'll explore:
- How energetic, cogntive and behavioral patterns form and why they are so hard to change
- Powerful tricks you can use to clear and quiet your mind
- How to stop identifying and personalizing your awareness
- How to truly change and choose something different regardless of how deeply grooved your mind has become

It’s not the seriousness that will set you free. It’s the lightness.
Seriousness causing more heady-ness, confusion and weight that slows you down.
Lightness creates growing room and an unfolding of possibilities.
It's the secret sauce for transforming with ease!
