Release Urgency and Remember: Not Every Good Thing is for THIS Season 12:30

11d ago12:30

12:30

We grow into the wisdom, bravery, and strength that we need for each new season. We don't need to worry forward, compare, or judge ourselves for not knowing all the answers for our whole life. Not everything – not every core dream – is for today or this season. Not every task on the weekly to-do list must be checked off Monday morning (something I …

Why You Need to Honour Your Wiring and Capacity 36:13

4M ago36:13

36:13

Western culture promotes a linear, constantly productive, ‘more and faster is better’ way of being. it makes us live like we’re in a race: if you win, I lose. If you’re accomplishing good things then I must be behind. This way of being not only leads to burnout, illness, increased risk of suicidality, emotional and spiritual dissatisfaction, and co…

Questioning, Wrestling, and Resisting is a Healthy Part of Grief Work and Letting Go 45:36

4M ago45:36

45:36

In this solo episode I talk about being a Questioner and 'wrestler.' One who must grapple with things in order to make peace with life or the circumstance in front of me, and find my way forward. If I lived full time in grief or pain, or in the grappling process, this would hold me back from living fully and thriving forward. But resistance itself …

5M ago1:04:15

1:04:15

Midlife is a great unraveling and re-envisioning/reconstructing. It’s a time of hard and brave work and this work (if we are able to say yes to it) takes us deeper and deeper into freedom and joy (though this does not mean joy feels accessible in every moment). We are invited repeatedly to come face to face with reality, grapple with all our expect…

39:09

I’m firmly in my messy middle season of life and it’s been a season of stretching, stripping away, meeting and befriending my True Self (or finally growing into my True Self). The past 13 years have also invited me deeper and deeper into freedom and joy. Greater freedom is one of the most important gifts of middle age. I care about Joyful living in…

It's Important to Trust Yourself (And Your Creative Process) 57:51

8M ago57:51

57:51

If we shift our focus from creative product or outcome to creative process, then it’s easier to understand that we are all inherently creative. We can stop comparing, judging, or fighting our unique creative process and instead hone it. Or at least trust it, so that we’re able to use it to bring our vision or dreams to life. Furthermore, I’d love u…

Open Up To A New Joyful Possibility (and the power of a good question) 26:49

10M ago26:49

26:49

Who is writing or telling the stories of your life? We all have stories playing out in our life, many unconscious, others that we are aware of yet believe or receive without examination. Most are rooted in conditioning of culture, religion, family of origin – or they may go further back. If we want to walk in freedom, wholeness, and joy, we must do…

Greater Freedom in our Relationships 46:12

11M ago46:12

46:12

Freedom is one of my core 5 values. It's also one of my top 2 values. As a personal value, what freedom means to me (us) as individuals can vary season to season. It needs to be personal and precise. We need to reevaluate and reorient on occasion for it to be a meaningful source of direction or a meaningful filter. This week, I've been listening in…

Embrace Your Limitations and Love Who and How You Are 31:11

In 2016 I wrote a short post that went viral around the world. It clearly touched something deep in many people. Here's one tiny snippet from that post that I want to talk about today: "What if I embrace my limitations and stop railing against them. Make peace with who I am and what I need and honor your right to do the same." SHOW NOTES Part of th…

Relationship in Middle Age Can Be Messy (and that's good!) 33:12

Relationships in middle age can be messy. They take work and nurturing at every stage of life. But in middle age - yikes! If you're growing, healing, becoming your most honest and integrated Self... this will affect your relationships. And this is as it should be.

8 Important Types of Rest That You May Not Have Heard Of 33:49

1y ago33:49

33:49

We all need rest, probably more than we’re getting. Expanding our view of rest beyond naps or Netflixing is helpful and life-giving! Perhaps what you most need right now is sensory rest or creative rest. Or maybe it’s lowering the bar and being kinder to yourself. SHOW NOTES This is a two-part conversation about rest – you can listen to part one he…

Why Don't You Rest (is it one of these 12 reasons)? 40:02

1y ago40:02

40:02

In a culture that idolizes productivity, it can feel countercultural to make rest an essential part of our life and goals. But when we prioritize rest, we cultivate creativity, increase productivity, and we live more joyfully. In REST: Why You Get More Done When You Work Less, Alex Soojung-Kim Pang writes "Discoveries in sleep research, psychology,…

There's an African Proverb that goes like this "When death finds you, may it find you alive." SHOW NOTES: DO YOU FEEL FULLY ALIVE? I've been thinking about this a lot - am I living fully alive?

We Need to Grow Deep Roots 38:23

1y ago38:23

38:23

To live on purpose - to handcraft a brave and beautiful life - to be anchored in the storms of life - you need deep roots. We grow deep roots through conscious, consistent effort or 'watering' over time. SHOW NOTES In this episode I use three examples of women somewhere in the middle season of life, and a situation they are grappling with. I walk t…

We're All In Progress. We're All Simply Practicing. 16:22

1y ago16:22

16:22

A common experience that comes up in my work is grief and self-judgment when a client or community member feels that they have gone backwards in their growth. But we can’t go backwards; it’s impossible. We may feel like we’ve circled back to an old wound, or to something we believed we had already learned, once and for all. But we are all in progre…

Take Some Time to Be Proud of Yourself! 25:47

1y ago25:47

25:47

Every single woman I know, and each woman I work with, benefits from regular, gentle reminders to pause and name what she is already doing well. To be proud of herself and name all the ways she regularly shows up with strength and bravery. Life is messy and we need to remember that perfection is not required. I certainly need regular check-points o…

Home is Sacred Space 40:04

1y ago40:04

40:04

Home is sacred. A safe and loving home creates a sense of safety and security in this noisy and often challenging world. Home is a mental-health issue. That is, lack of affordable housing contributes to struggles with what we think of as mental health (but mental health doesn’t stand apart from all other forms of health). It’s important to me to fe…

Feel Safe, At Home, and Joyful in Your Body and Life 45:42

1+ y ago45:42

45:42

SHOW NOTES Home is sacred space. It's not the size or fanciness of home that matters. Feeling at home in our body and life is also sacred. We get to treat home (home in self) as sacred and be the gatekeeper of who and what gets access to us/our True Self. Joy is relational; it's amplified when shared with others. But if we don't have a safe 'home b…

Holding Space for both Joy + Pain over the Holidays (or This is Bullshit!) 28:05

*Heads up: there's swearing in this episode. SHOW NOTES Grief is always hard... but grieving over the holidays can be an extra layer of hard. Our grief doesn't need to be 'fixed.' It simply needs to be witnessed. In this episode I share honestly about where I'm at and a few ideas for taking good care of yourself if you're grieving over the holidays…

Less Performing, People-Pleasing, Perfectionism // More Joy Over the Holidays 33:20

1+ y ago33:20

33:20

In theory at least, the holiday season is about gratitude, connection/community, a focus on what's truly most important. The reality for many, however, is an increase in stress, anxiety and depression. I don't know what all is going on in your life, of course, but perhaps there are ways you can lower your stress through less performing, people-plea…

Shore Up Leaky Boundaries 45:55

1+ y ago45:55

45:55

Shoring up leaky boundaries (boundary work in general!) is essential to living with freedom, wholeness, and joy and walking out our core values. There are three clear cues in my body and life that I have one or more leaky boundaries that need attending to. These cues are: resentment, persistent anxiety, and avoidance. SHOW NOTES In this episode I s…

Practice All or Something 29:37

1+ y ago29:37

29:37

All or nothing thinking keeps us stuck in lack. It keeps us stuck in the story that 'when' circumstances align perfectly then we'll be happy, love ourselves, start writing, etc. But if you're open to living with more joy, then I recommend that you try 'all or something' thinking on for size. SHOW NOTES We're all birthing something (or creating, han…

Finding Safety in the Vulnerability of Joy 49:38

49:38

“What if joy is not only entangled with pain, suffering, and sorrow but is also what emerges from how we care for each other through those things?” - Ross Gay, Inciting Joy I learned to armor up at a young age. Lately I’ve been thinking through some of the reasons that may have led to this. In my early childhood, two of my friends died - one of can…

We Heal, Grow, and Become at the Speed of Safety 43:53

43:53

After my son died, I was thrown head-first into a deep and dark winter season. The years that followed were incredibly painful and I longed for spring or light to come again. One day I heard in my spirit, “you have to live the end of one story before stepping into the next.” I remember my dad telling me one day over a decade ago, that the time betw…

More and Faster Isn't Better 41:03

1+ y ago41:03

41:03

When I’m driving on the highway and someone zooms past me at high speed or weaves in and out of traffic to ‘get ahead’ I always wonder, “where are you rushing to?” And is putting your life and mine at risk worth shaving a few seconds off your ride? I’m a slow mover by nature. To be healthy and happy, I require a lot of spaciousness and breathing ro…

Community Matters (Even for the HSP, Strong Introvert, and Busy Midlife Woman) 44:11

44:11

“We learn from an early age that ‘masked and armored’ is the safe and sane way to live” writes Parker Palmer in A Hidden Wholeness. We are wired for connection - we need each other. Yet there is an epidemic of loneliness in the world and it’s getting worse. Loneliness has the same health impact as smoking 15 cigarettes a day and increases risk of p…

Make Peace With Messiness to Make Space for Joy 44:28

1+ y ago44:28

44:28

Life shouldn’t be neat and tidy. If your life feels challenging, you’re not doing it wrong. It’s the belief that you “should” always know what you’re doing, and that your life should always feel easy and smooth sailing, that keeps you in suffering. I’m a recovering perfectionist - an Enneagram One (hopeful reformer) for those of you familiar with T…

Palliative nurse Bronnie Ware recorded her patient’s end of life regrets. The top regret of the dying was “I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself.” A clear and compelling life vision, and clarity around my core values, kept me anchored after my parents died, through chronic pain, after a traumatic car accident, through and beyond …

Practice Self-Compassion Like Your Life Depends Upon It. It Does. 42:35

1+ y ago42:35

42:35

You cannot shame or bully yourself into wholeness. My inner critic was vicious. It bullied me, held me back, pointed out all my flaws 24/7, and told me I was never good enough. No matter how hard I worked, I could never keep up or measure up. When my third child was born, 18 years ago, I held her little body in my arms and realized in that moment t…

All of You is Welcome Here 29:53

1+ y ago29:53

29:53

All of you is welcome here. Your strength and struggle, your grief and pain, your creativity and joy. The parts of your story that you feel safe to share with others, and those parts of your experience that still cause you shame. You are not bad, wrong, or broken but human in a messy world. I was 10 years old when I first had the thought "the world…
