    Ep. 43: 15 Thoughts to Think Instead of Spiraling Pt 3.

    You’ve caught yourself spiraling. You’ve noticed that your mind is turning one thought into a whole story. Now what? In this episode, we’re talking about what comes after awareness: how to gently interrupt an unhelpful thought pattern and give your mind somewhere else to go. Because catching yourself in a familiar spiral is one thing, but knowing what to do next can make all the difference. It helps to have a reminder ready when you need one, so I created a free guide to keep in your back pocket when your mind starts spiraling.

    Ep. 42: What If You’ve Been Practicing Meditation All Along Without Realizing It?

    In Ep. 34 (How to Stop Overthinking), we explored how easily one little thought can turn into an entire story in our minds. But there's another part of this practice that might be even more important: What happens after you catch yourself? Because sometimes, even when we recognize an old thought pattern, what comes next can send us right back into the same familiar spiral. In this mini episode, I'm sharing a different way to think about meditation, why you don't need to sit quietly with your eyes closed to practice it, and how one small shift in awareness can begin to change the way you experience everyday life. And if you've ever said, "I'm just not good at meditating," this one's especially for you. A little reminder: You might be doing better at this than you think.

    Ep. 41: How to Have Difficult Conversations *with a Friend* as Your Higher Self

    Have you ever explained away a friend’s hurtful comments because you understood what they were going through while quietly carrying the hurt yourself? I’ve been there. For a long time, I told myself that letting things go was the healthiest response. Eventually, I had to look more honestly at the friendship, what kept me in it, and what I hadn’t said. In this episode, I share the story of a difficult phone call, the exact words I used, and a question that challenged my habit of staying quiet: Did it feel good or just familiar? We’re exploring what showing up as your higher self can look like when your voice is shaking. If you keep rehearsing a conversation you haven’t had, let's dive in.

    Ep. 40: You Got What You Wanted. Now What?

    After years of living on a sailboat, in an Airstream, and in a rental, my husband and I finally bought our own home. As I stood arranging items on our mantel, I felt the satisfaction of reaching a dream, and then had a thought that surprised me: “Am I going to die now because I achieved this goal?” It sounds dramatic, I know. But that moment opened a question I’m still exploring: What happens when the future you’ve imagined becomes the life you’re living? In this episode, I share that story and explore how quickly we move toward the next thing, what we hope our goals will give us, and how to make room for satisfaction while life remains unfinished. If you’ve ever reached a milestone and wondered, “Now what?” (or found yourself waiting for something to happen before you can feel at peace), we've got you. Let's Dive In!

    Ep. 38: Breath Break - Awareness Breath

    Today, we’re skipping the big intro and jumping right into an awareness breath practice. * The benefits of this practice include enhancing mental clarity and focus, significantly reducing stress and anxiety, improving mood, and lowering blood pressure.  This is a wonderful tool to help slow your heart rate and regulate your nervous system when you need it: during a busy workday, while sitting in traffic, in the middle of a high-emotion conversation, as you’re falling asleep or when you’re trying to get back to sleep. For today’s guided practice, make sure you’re somewhere you can safely pause and give it your attention. If now isn’t a good time, save this episode and come back to it later. Anytime you use this practice in traffic or during a conversation, keep your eyes open and stay aware of what’s happening around you. Once you’re settled, let’s begin...

    Ep. 36: When Growth Feels More Painful Than Staying the Same - Why Alignment Can Feel So Uncomfortable

    Oh yeah, we're in it now! Growth is often described as freeing, expansive, and beautiful. BUT when you’re actually living it, it can feel confusing, tender, and a lot like something has gone wrong. (In reality, you're doing it right!)  In this episode, I’m sharing a personal growth report, LIVE from the messy middle. Believe me, you're not alone. The thing is, we may outgrow an identity, habit, relationship dynamic, or way of living looooong before the new version of our Self feels natural. Let’s talk about: why unfamiliarity can feel threatening how to tell growing pains from a genuine warning and what might be happening when your progress doesn’t feel like progress yet. Let's Dive In!
