Recognizing when you are making life decisions based upon the external expectations placed upon you is actually the first step to understanding what is truly going to make you happy, and doing so led Rebecca Morrison to a big career change. Rebecca joins Samm on the HRart Of It podcast to share her journey from being a high achiever, who realized she was only fulfilling the shoulds in her life, to changing where she put her energy and ultimately finding her happiness.

Wading through those messy experiences, recognizing the season, and going deep is what led Rebecca to becoming a coach, a career which isn’t far from what she wanted to be as a child. Samm and Rebecca also chat about the benefits of having a trusted coach and the difference between needing a therapist or a coach to aid you on your healing and growth journey.

Today’s special guest on the HRart of It Podcast is both a licensed acupuncturist and stand up comedian! The always funny Jen Mason chats with Samm about the incredible healing modality that is humor and what it can mean for creating connections, easing burnout and cultivating energy. Jen explains that along with many other positives, learning how to incorporate humor into team interactions can completely change the dynamic of the group. She’s also a huge champion of pursuing the thing that scares you most (such as performing your first stand up set) in order to break down the barrier of fear that is more than likely holding you back.

Is it possible that there is a meeting point between spirituality, Qigong, Christian Mysticism and the modern day workplace? Dr. Lyle Wilson is this week’s guest on the HRart of It Podcast, and in this episode he talks to Samm about what you will find in this incredible overlap. Though the workplace is most often stripped of any mention of faith or the Divine, it’s this core component that creates the connections between us and gives breath to our organizations.

Dr. Wilson and Samm also dive into the inspiring stories about a few of the female Christian Mystics. These women were oftentimes seen as troublemakers when in fact they were creating impactful change and pointing toward a new way of looking at things. Find the show notes at www.hrartcenter.com.
