Ep. 324: But what about the guilt?
07/07/2020 Duración: 32minThis week, I'm talking about guilt. The guilt of letting people down we try to avoid. The guilt of living out of alignment we try to avoid. The guilt of not doing "enough" we try to avoid. (Yeah. Can you see a theme here?) In this episode, I'm sharing how to grapple with all of that guilt, the importance of being rooted and grounded in yourself, understanding your core values and what matters most to you, and what it means to live a life in alignment with your values. (And, why, at the end of the day, guilt isn't the most important thing to pay attention to.) What I said: "Challenges don't mean it is bad or that you shouldn't be there. Often it means that we are on the right track." "The moment of guilt doesn't have to define our character." "When we get grounded in ourselves, we are less likely to live at the whims of trends." "It is essential that you are aware of your own unique set of core values." "There is a deeper peace and freedom when we live in a way that is in alignment with our value

Ep. 323: On Being Enough, Doing Enough, Redefining Enough, and How to be an Orchard
30/06/2020 Duración: 38minWhat do you think about when you hear the word "enough?" In this episode, I’m going to tackle what I see as two different (and often competing!) realms of being and doing enough and then offer ways to help you redefine the word according to your own standards. (Amen and hallelujah to that, right?!) First: Am I enough? This is all about YOU and how it feels to be you in your life and showing up to yourself. Second: Am I doing enough? AKA why having a strong value of service does not mean you have to sacrifice your humanity in order to show up for the world. I also cover the power of your values, self-alignment, the importance of not measuring your worth based on somebody else's standards, and why those tiny little steps are the way to start. Oh! And then I wrap it all up with talk of seeds, harvest, and how to make an orchard with your life. Things I said: "Live your life and prove to yourself what you are capable of." "If an idea won't leave you alone, that is the sign that you are the person being gifted wit

Ep. 322: On Doubt and the 5 Yes's
23/06/2020 Duración: 45min**RSVP for the Agency Archetypes Training on 6/30 at 11am PST** This week, I'm talking about doubt and saying yes. More specifically, I'm going to talk about how, I've shifted from thinking that "doubt means don't" to seeing doubt as a requisite part of the raise your hand say yes process and what it has shown and taught me about living life in integrity and alignment with my values. I also tackle the commonly-heard phrase "If it's not a hell yes, it's a no" and offer a nuanced approach to both that phrase as well as the 5 different yes's I want you to consider, as well as the one that's the most important and easiest to ignore. My goal for this episode is to give you insight into things that get in your way that you can shift as well as some new ways to think about your obligations, priorities, and how what you most want is likely found in what you're most likely to avoid. Episode Quotes "We have to make peace with the doubt and know that it's a part of the process." "The hardest part is how to keep going. T

Ep. 321: Nat Lue on Relationships, Bandwidth, Anxiety, and Respect
16/06/2020 Duración: 01h01minI am super excited to be bringing Natalie Lue back to the podcast. Natalie is an author, speaker, teacher, and podcaster at Baggage Reclaim Sessions, where she helps people get address all the things - lack of self-worth, habits, relationships - that are standing in their way of living the life that they want. Listen to my previous episode with Natalie on boundaries, emotions, and the dark side of people pleasing. (This episode was such an aha moment for me!) This episode was recorded the first week of May, so you’ll hear us talk about the COVID-19 lockdown (and what it has to teach us!), what to do when people are continuously letting you down, what it means to sit in our discomfort, the importance of self-awareness and slowing down before we reach burnout, what our relationships can teach us about ourselves, and how to even recognize what we actually want and need. Nat, you are a gift! Thank you for coming back on the show! Episode Quotes: "Burnout is not just a cause of work, burnout can occur in any ar

Ep. 320: Playing Small to Play Bigger
09/06/2020 Duración: 46minThis week, I'm tackling a question I get a lot: how do I balance slowing down with the big goals that I have for myself? Do I have to choose one or the other? Short answer: no. Longer answer: there's a lot to consider here. We’ve been programmed to think that BIG is BETTER. The thing is, playing big is often what our ego wants. And it's easy to demand of ourselves that we do ALL THE THINGS IMMEDIATELY. (Which only leads to burnout and not being able to make progress on much at all!) So where do you go instead? What if focusing on playing small is actually the starting place? If you’re someone who feels disconnected to your life, or you feel connected to your life but feel disconnected to yourself, then this one's for you. You'll hear about the value of getting granular with your life, why ‘sitting still’ could be empowering, keeping your focus on the life that you want, self-compassion, and taking bold actions. Enjoy! Things I said: "We can actually get closer to the lives that we want by learning how to play

Ep. 318: Gina Senarighi on Relationships, Granular Pleasures, and the Trouble with Self-Love
26/05/2020 Duración: 58minThis week, I’m joined by Gina Senarighi, relationship coach, retreat leader, speaker, and author specializing in human connection, intimacy, authenticity, shame-resilience, and alternative relationships. Yes. She does a lot and is so smart! Y'all are for a treat this week as we talk about how to live in relationship with ourselves and others, why putting all your eggs in the self-love basket may not be serving you, how to make the changes in your life (that actually stick!) and do the things that you love (even if you're not sure where to start!), what self-alignment at home and at work looks like and why pleasure is essential -- but shouldn't feel like a daunting endeavor. Enjoy, enjoy! Things that were said: "It's the micro changes that we make that builds whatever change we want long term." "Our relationships with other people are founded in the relationship we have with our self.” "Shame never motivates long term behavior change or sustainable changes in people's lives." "Sometimes learning to love yours

Ep. 317: Those Things I've Gotten Wrong: A Very Incomplete List
19/05/2020 Duración: 45minThis week, I'm taking a walk down memory lane to look at the things I've gotten wrong (some WAAAAAY wrong) in the past 5.5 years of doing this podcast. You'll hear my revelations on risk, self-care and burnout, tackling big goals, pleasure, and how everything (annoyingly so!!) starts at home. (I'll also share what I mean by that!) Aaaaand you'll hear me talk about why I'm comfortable sharing this list and what I'm doing about these revelations. Because this learning is part of the process and just because I've gotten things wrong in the past doesn't mean I can't keep going and bring my learning along with me! Episode Quotes "We cannot just say YES to the risk without also saying YES to the reverence." "There is something really beautiful about realizing that you are stronger without the shield of all the things you've convinced yourself make you stronger." "Self-care is a daily and ongoing devotion to yourself and the things you want to do." "Pleasure and delight are not frivolous." "The things that you want

Ep. 314: Holly Whitaker on Quitting, Not Giving Up, and Constant Interventions
28/04/2020 Duración: 57minAhhh, this interview y'all. There is so much goodness here. This week, I'm talking with Holly Whitaker, founder of Tempest Sobriety School and The Temper, and author of the recent "Quit Like a Woman: The Radical Choice to Not Drink in a Culture Obsessed with Alcohol." Holly also played a huge part in my decision to quit drinking, over three years ago, and I loved getting to have this conversation with her. Even though we recorded pre-coronavirus, everything we talked about is relevant to where we are today. You'll hear us cover pivotal life moments, why sometimes feeling guilty is okay, how to decide what you owe yourself vs what you owe others, non-linear paths of learning, and why you might need to live in a way that allows you to have constant interventions. We also talk about why it's okay not to be okay and how showing up is part of the healing. Show Notes: Agency Archetypes Quiz 31 Days to Flow (open through 4/29!)

Ep. 313: Values, Sliding Doors, and Permission Right Now
21/04/2020 Duración: 39minThis week, I'm going behind the scenes of all my values talk to show you what values look like in action in our lives. Right now. During the COVID-19 pandemic. Yep. Even then. You'll also get to hear me tell two different versions of how I could be showing up right now (it's my Sliding Doors moment!): one that involves chasing the values I'm "supposed" to want: success and family. And another that looks like aligning myself with my personal #1 value: integrity. It's a journey! Enjoy, enjoy! Show Notes: 31 Days to Flow (open through 4/29!)

You'll hear us talk about living with (and in) overwhelm, a very different definition of thriving than what we've been taught it should look like, how to ground yourself when you're in a spin, and what we can learn from wildflowers and melting ice.

31/03/2020 Duración: 27minToday's episode includes my thoughts about where we all find ourselves, why slowing down is more critical than ever right now (and how it can lead to more productivity than you realize!), and a story about the doubt and uncertainty that can show up when you speak up for something you need.

Ep. 305: Friday Quickie: Listener Q - When (and How!) to Keep Going
13/03/2020 Duración: 13minThis week's quickie is my response to a listener question. Elizabeth wrote wondering "Keeping at something can yield a masterpiece, or it can result in not much. So how does it work? Is it a question of passion? Enjoying the process but being detached from the result? And does everyone have the ability to keep going or does it require a certain kind insight into yourself?" And while I don't have a Clear Cut Answer, I do have many thoughts. Enjoy, enjoy!
