Ep. 137: Review Reflect and Align – Word of the Year

We’ve arrived at the final few days of the year, and how we participate in this transition will set the tone for the next one to come. If we want to be active creators of our own life instead of passive observers of our life (letting things happen TO us), it’s important to get clear and move, think, and feel with intention.

Ep. 136: Freedom to Change Your Mind

This week we talk about why we feel obligated to finish everything we start – even if we’re miserable in it. Careers, relationships, even small things like movies and a bad meal. Often it;s becasue we think changing our minds equals failure or some sort, but there are many others I’ll cover in this episode. I also share how we can make every choice worth it… even when that means walking away from something we’ve put a lot of time, money, and energy into.

Ep. 129: How to Reparent Ourselves

This week’s podcast episode is about how we can address the needs that weren’t met by our caretakers when we were children so that we stop trying to get other people – like our partners/friends/family – to meet them for us. We chat about how we can create a reality where those needs are met by ourselves through reparenting, without resentment. Plus, I explain why it’s important for us to rely on ourselves to meet those needs instead of other people (even though it would be oh-so-sweet if that happened;).

Peter Levine said, “Trauma is not what happens to us, but what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness.” Bearing witness and being witnessed is what we talk about today.

We’ll explore why it matters who acknowledged our suffering and/or who we told – and why the answer is usually, “No one.” We also dive into the importance of having (and being) an empathetic witness when healing from trauma – and healing our communities.
