    Episode 18: Dropping the Armor that Blocks True Surrender

    In this episode of EvesDropping, Emily and Meg dive deep into the spiritual practice of surrender—and what it really means to advocate for yourself when you're in the thick of struggle. We explore how to let go without giving up, and how to recognize the subtle ways we grip, brace, and resist life through our bodies, minds, and expectations. Together, we unpack the concept of God consciousness within us, not outside of us, and what it means to co-create with the universe from a place of trust rather than force. This episode is for anyone who’s ever tried to will something into being and ended up exhausted—or wondered what it would feel like to open up to possibility instead. We talk about the shift from “I have to make this happen” to “I am willing to see this differently.” We also offer 5 principles of self-advocacy to support you in reclaiming your voice, even when you’re walking through the unknown. Inside the episode: • What it means to drop the armor and soften into truth • Recognizing resistance in your body as a sacred signal • Reconnecting with your body’s intelligence • The role of faith in co-creation and how quantum physics mirrors this • Moving from control to conscious participation with the universe • How to ask, “What truth is here for me?” when life feels heavy This one’s an invitation into deep trust. Not blind trust—but embodied, courageous, truth-rooted surrender. Come listen in with us. ***Original Art by Meg Miller***

    Episode 15: Dropping the External Definition of You

    Discover Who You REALLY Are - From The Inside Out Emily and Meg invite Hannah, a Quantum Human Design Specialist (birthingmybeing.com) to help us all on our quest for self-discovery. Human Design is a synthesis of ancient wisdom and modern science to help you understand the power and beauty of who you truly are. It provides particular insight into your gifts, vulnerabilities, personality, life themes, psychology, and health. Human Design teaches us to live authentically according to the energetic blueprint we were given at birth. “This is an INSIDE OUT modality. It is not just another self-help tool, it’s more deep. It makes us go within. These characteristics are already in you, so how do we enhance them?” “Human Design is different than all the oversaturated self-help out there because self-help still requires you to go outside yourself for the answers. With Human Design, you go inward.” “For more flow and less frustration, the big key is getting people attuned to their own inner awareness and then using that information to work with the outer reality.” Original Art by Meg Miller For further exploration, we loved the book: Introduction to Quantum Human Design 3rd Edition by Karen Curry Parker #podcastersofinstagram #podcastinglife #applepodcasts  #spotifypodcasts #personalgrowth #selfdevelopment #selfhelp #positivevibes #infinitepossibilities #denverpodcast #self #selfdiscovery #whoareyou #insideout #relatable #podcast #funnypodcast #bingeworthy #bingeworthypodcast #you #humandesign #authenticity #selflove #speakyourtruth #authenticself #humandesignpodcast #grlpwrden #birthingmybeing #humandesignreading

    Episode 14: Dropping the Dance of Being Nice

    Are You Behaving in Ways that Are Getting You the Opposite of What You Are Seeking? Emily defines assertive communication as self-advocacy. Meg defines her communication style as the clarity and honesty that begins internally so she can be more steady in stating her needs. They offer how they work with each of their styles and explore “mean girl” culture, how to get attuned to ourselves first, and how not to get triggered in our responses. “If you don’t talk about it, your behavior will show it.” “How do we emotionally manipulate to get what we want in passive-aggressive ways?” “There are energetics and tensions people can feel behind your communication.” “How much is my responsibility in this conversation?” “What is the difference between choosing versus feeling compelled as an obligation?” “Am I doing this from a place of worth instead of having to prove, defend, or beg instead of connection, attunement, or mutuality?” “With increased clarity and simplicity comes confident authenticity.” “The simplicity comes when you stop focusing on analyzing their behavior and putt it back on aligning with your values.” “Keeping the peace doesn’t work because we suppress our needs to play nice.” “Are these MY facts or THE facts? What am I making this mean?” “Our minds can easily make up a victim/villain story and then offer up ‘fake conviction’ with blame.” “Good communication asks a question instead of assuming. It comes from a space of curiosity instead of blame.” Original Art by Meg Miller References from the episode: @MarkManson For further exploration, we loved this book: Crucial Conversations by Joseph Grenny, Ron McMillan, Al Switzler, Kerry Patterson, & Laura Roppe   #vulnerability #gratitude  #empowered #sweetrevenge #surrender #youareworthy  #surrender #crucialconversations  #podcastersofinstagram #podcastinglife #applepodcasts  #spotifypodcasts #personalgrowth #selfdevelopment #selfhelp #positivevibes #infinitepossibilities #meangirl  #emotionallabor  #mindsetpodcast #personaldevelopmentpodcast #denver #podcastaddict #femalepodcasters #spiritualwarrior  #useyourgifts #youaremorethanyouthink #thinkingofyou   #trust  #spreadinglove    #motivationeveryday   #startyourevolutionbaby

    Episode 13: Dropping the Hostage Complex

    Emily & Meg discuss how people and stories are holding them hostage.  They explore how we give other people our power, letting them determine our happiness, our value, our worth. They consider how we take other people’s stories personally and that begins this hostage situation because we get into the blame game and self-righteousness, all ways that deplete our personal power.  The keys to our freedom begin with awareness, self-compassion, self-validation, courage, and detachment. “One of the keys to freedom is awareness: when you realize your head is spinning, your focus is outside yourself or proving yourself.” “We have to learn to distinguish if we are in a lower state of being, a lower vibration in our bodies, in order to clear it.”  “The moment you realize you are doing mental gymnastics, you are in a tortured state.” “It can be as simple as I am going to let go, let go, let go, release all those sticky stories, even just on every exhale, it helps us reach for freedom.” “I realized I constantly braced, waiting for the moment I let these intense feelings pierce my soul. But that’s when I knew I had to let them come in. I could handle them.” “Sometimes the hardest thing to understand is that you are bracing because there is some truth in other people’s assessments of you or your situation and you are not being honest with yourself.” “Once you know your own limits, no one can hold them over your head anymore.” “Am I grounded in my body by these choices of nourishment and care or am I taken out of my body with my fearful thoughts?” “Are we constantly thinking that we are broken and a problem needing to be fixed?” Original Art by Meg Miller References from the episode: #byronkatie  #eckharttolle  #budha  For further exploration, we loved this book: Ready to Heal: Breaking Free of Addictive Relationships by @kellymcdanieltherapy  #detachment   #stateofflow #mythsthatmakeusmiserable #surrender #trust #Evesdropping #personalgrowth #spotifypodcasts #applepodcasts  #healing #positivevibes #selftrust #attachmentwound

    Episode 12: Dropping Righteousness & Revenge

    Emily & Meg discuss those feelings that comes up for every single human being: righteousness and revenge. They explore how revenge is a powerful internal force we must seek to understand. They offer ways they practice deeper self-inquiry to find out what stories are really underneath these intense feelings. They decide setting better goals - like inner peace instead of vindictiveness - can alleviate the need to prove to others we are right and they are wrong. “How am I making this story bigger than it needs to be? How am I getting locked into proving I am right and the other person is wrong?” “I let go because I want to be at peace.” “Sometimes we get so bound by the ‘liner perspective’ of one possibility that we are not open to creative input or the infinite number of possibilities that exist so we torture ourselves staying in this one narrative.” “Inner peace is the only issue you need to concern yourself with - not faking this ulterior motive of forgiveness.” “Be careful that you are picking your course of action from a place of inner knowing, not being triggered into responding, which corrupts your decision.” “Underneath the reacting, is a frantic feeling of powerless.” “What is my pay-off in this story? Am I getting attention, pity, a story to entertain people, etc.?” “The answer and the problem are always so simple.” Original Art by Meg Miller References from the episode: #byronkatie For further exploration, we loved this book: Letting Go - The Pathway to Surrender by David Hawkins #wearejustmonkeys #vulnerability #gratitude #freedom #revenge #reactive #empowered #sweetrevenge #surrender #youareworthy #surrender #podcastersofinstagram #podcastinglife #applepodcasts #spotifypodcasts #personalgrowth #selfdevelopment #selfhelp #positivevibes #infinitepossibilities #mindsetpodcast #personaldevelopmentpodcast #podcastaddict #femalepodcasters #spiritualwarrior #useyourgifts #youaremorethanyouthink #thinkingofyou  #trust #spreadinglove #motivationeveryday #startyourevolutionbaby

    Episode 11: The Power of Asking & Receiving

    Emily & Meg discuss what it means to be stripped of adornments, health, and abilities. They discuss their feelings about being vulnerable enough to ask someone for help during these times and what happens when we don’t allow ourselves to receive that help. “When you are stripped away from feeling well, strong, radiant, it feels like a new level of vulnerability.” “People love doing things for me. I love receiving.” “If you cut off the receiving, it kills the whole cycle - the balance of giving and receiving - and it kills joy.” “You don’t get what you don’t ask for.” “Asking is an act of love for another person.” “The words and metaphors we use determine our outlook in life, so the word ‘needy’ is sticky for me.” “Prayer is simply asking for help.” “Fear, anxiety, anger, dependency are all present during moments of our deepest vulnerability.” “Asking takes courage.” Original Art by Meg Miller References from the episode: Happythankyoumoreplease movie For further exploration, we loved this book: The Art of Asking: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Let People Help by #amandapalmer and #BreneBrown #personalpower #receiving #33percent #powerofasking #needy #softening #prayer #vulnerability #gratitude #health #podcastersofinstagram #podcastinglife #applepodcasts #spotifypodcasts #personalgrowth #selfdevelopment #selfhelp #positivevibes #mindsetpodcast #personaldevelopmentpodcast #podcastaddict #femalepodcasters #spiritualwarrior #useyourgifts #youaremorethanyouthink #thinkingofyou #selflove #trust  #spreadinglove #motivationeveryday #Evesdropping #startyourevolutionbaby
