    Ep. 57 | The Fear of Being Judged

    I wore bright green seahorse pants to a concert where everyone else was in black, and my first thought was, “I should have changed.” Sound familiar?  Most of us are shaping ourselves around other people’s opinions. We change what we wear, what we say, and whether we show up at all, hoping to avoid judgment. In this episode, we look at where the fear of being judged comes from, what it’s costing you, and how to stop contorting yourself so you can be more of who you really are. You’ll learn: Why the fear of judgment is a normal human fearHow it shows up in your everyday lifeWhy “I don’t care what people think” often masks hurtHow to respond when someone judges youA simple mindset for taking criticism lightlyWhat becomes possible when you stop trying to control other people's opinions of youFree Resource Ready to quiet your inner critic and experience more peace, confidence, and emotional freedom?

    Ep. 56 | How to Sit with a Hard Feeling

    Have you ever been told to just sit with your feelings? Or to let yourself feel your emotions? Okay, but what does that actually mean? And how do you do it when the feeling is so uncomfortable that all you want is for it to go away? Most of us have gotten pretty good at ignoring our feelings. We distract ourselves, argue with how we're feeling, numb out, or sometimes let our emotions take over. And while those things might bring a little temporary relief, they end up creating more suffering. Over the last year, I've been experimenting with what it really means to be with my emotions instead of trying to get rid of them. And it's changed so much for me. In this episode, I'm sharing one of my favorite ways to think about emotions along with a simple practice you can use the next time a hard feeling shows up. You'll learn: The three ways we typically try to escape uncomfortable emotions and why they make things worse.What it actually means to be with a hard feeling.How to tell the difference between being with an emotion and indulging in it.Three simple steps to help you be with your emotions, even when they're intense.🎁 Free Resource Ready to quiet your inner critic and experience more peace, confidence, and emotional freedom?

    Ep. 55 | When Anger Becomes More Toxic Than the Original Hurt

    What if the anger you’re carrying is hurting you more today than the thing that originally happened? This episode was inspired by a conversation I had with one of my clients that got me thinking about anger—especially the kind we carry for months, years, or even decades after we’ve been hurt. Anger isn’t bad. Sometimes anger is exactly what lets us know that something wasn’t okay, a boundary was crossed, or something needs to change. But what happens when the event is over and we’re still carrying the anger everywhere we go? In this episode, I’m sharing what I learned more than 20 years ago about holding onto anger—and the question that has helped me look differently at some of the deeper hurts in my own life and finally begin to let them go. What you’ll gain from this episode: A different way to think about anger without making it bad or wrongHow to recognize when anger has stopped helping you and started costing youWhy letting go doesn’t mean condoning what someone didA way to look at the mental and emotional cost of carrying old hurtsQuestions to help you consider what might become available if you didn’t have to carry the anger anymoreYou don’t have to forgive before you’re ready. You don’t have to pretend it didn’t hurt. And you definitely don’t have to decide that what happened was okay. But you might want to ask yourself: What is holding onto anger costing me?  Free Resource Ready to quiet your inner critic and experience more peace, confidence, and emotional freedom?

    Ep. 54 | What If You Were Willing to Be Disappointed?

    What would become possible in your life if you were willing to feel disappointment?  So often we protect ourselves from disappointment by not trying, not asking, not getting our hopes up, or convincing ourselves we didn’t really want something anyway. But what is that protection actually costing us? In this episode, I’m having an honest conversation about how avoiding disappointment has impacted my life—and how becoming willing to feel disappointed has changed not only my life, but the lives of women I’ve had the privilege to coach. You’ll learn: Why disappointment can feel so scary—and why the hardest part may be what you make it mean about yourselfThe sneaky ways you may be avoiding disappointment without realizing itHow trying to protect yourself from disappointment can actually create disappointment ahead of timeHow to feel disappointed without abandoning yourselfHow being willing to feel disappointment can open you back up to possibilityFree Resource Ready to quiet your inner critic and experience more peace, confidence, and emotional freedom?

    Ep. 52 | The Habit of Making Yourself Small

    Have you ever held back in a conversation because you didn’t want to talk too much? Waited for someone else to invite you because you didn’t want to bother them? Said “I don’t care” when someone asked what you wanted but secretely you cared a lot?  These little moments can be part of a much bigger habit of making yourself small. In this episode, I’m talking about what it really means to take up space—and why it has very little to do with being the loudest person in the room. It’s about allowing yourself to have wants, preferences, opinions, needs, ideas, and dreams. It’s about believing that you matter enough to be included in your own life. You’ll learn: What it actually means to take up spaceSome of the subtle ways we make ourselves smallHow people-pleasing can disconnect you from what you wantWhy making yourself small can steal your joy and alivenessA simple practice to start noticing yourself againWhat would it look like to stop disappearing from your own life? If that unsettles you a little bit, I want you to lean into this episode. I made it for you. 🎁 Free Resource Ready to quiet your inner critic and experience more peace, confidence, and emotional freedom?

    Ep. 51 | How Good Are You at Receiving?

    How good are you at receiving? Not just help. Love. Compliments. Rest. Attention. Support. Joy. Friendship. Grace. Being celebrated. Being cared for. Being seen. In this episode, we get real. I’m sharing what happened when my coach challenged me to notice everything I was receiving during a retreat in Maui—and how that assignment turned into a very uncomfortable crash course in receiving. From getting sick before a boat ride, to needing help from multiple women on the boat ride, to realizing how deeply I had learned not to take up too much space.   In this episode, I’ll also take you inside a powerful “receiving circle” exercise where I learned to open myself up to the gift of receiving. You'll learn:  What a “receiving set point” is and how to identify yoursWhy receiving can feel selfish, weak, vulnerable, or uncomfortableThe subtle ways we deflect compliments, help, love, support, attention, and careWhy taking up space can be part of becoming a better receiverWhy allowing someone else to give to you can actually be a gift to themHow to expand your capacity to receive by just 1–5% You don’t need to become an exceptional receiver overnight. Start by noticing what is already being offered to you. Then see if you can let it land.🎁 Free Resource Ready to quiet your inner critic and experience more peace, confidence, and emotional freedom?

    Ep. 50 | The Law of Giving and Receiving

    You know how to give. You give to your kids, your spouse, your home, your calling, your work, your neighbors. You show up. You help. You serve. You take care of people. But how good are you at receiving? Receiving love? Receiving compliments?Receiving appreciation? Receiving forgiveness?  The Law of Giving and Receiving teaches that you can only give to the level at which you’re willing to receive. For many women, receiving is the half of the spiritual exchange we’ve never really learned how to do. It feels foreign and for many women it feels selfish.  In this powerful episode, we’re exploring what it means to become an exceptional receiver—and why receiving is an essential part of giving.  You’ll learn: How continually giving without receiving leads to depletion and resentmentWhy your ability to receive directly affects your ability to giveWhy receiving is an essential part of the spiritual exchangeHow you can have blessings, love, and goodness all around you without fully experiencing themWhy becoming a better receiver can help giving feel more natural, generous, and joyful What receiving has to do with grace, forgiveness, God's love, and the Atonement This is Part 1 of a two-part series on giving and receiving. You’ve spent a lifetime learning how to give. What might change if you became just as good at receiving? 🎁 Free Resource Ready to quiet your inner critic and experience more peace, confidence, and emotional freedom?
