    Knowing When to Let Go

    Knowing When to Let Go

    'Tis the Season of Change, yet sometimes we keep holding on and don't recognize when it is time to let go. We rebound, or bounce.

    In this episode I talk about some things that can help you KNOW when to let go.

    Spoiler alert: one of them is hearing your own voice, especially when it is dragggging on about something. That is when you need to "let go (of something - it could be your own judgment, btw), or be dragged!"

    IF you are ready to go deeper in finding your voice and claiming your purpose, check out my Podcasting Made Easy services:

    "K is for Jealousy" is Your 45 Minute Writing Prompt

    "K is for Jealousy" is Your 45 Minute Writing Prompt

    This week we are doing something differently on The Adventure Paradox Podcast. As we host 10 authors LIVE on social media over the next two weeks, we will not necessarily be streaming our Monday minisode.  Instead, it may be recorded over the weekend, like this one was, on my iPhone!

    Writing is an incredible portal to the soul and what it is we are really feeling. I love supporting people to get in to their actual feelings (Feel The Feelings!) without trying to override or change them. But sometimes it is tricky... it takes time to really understand why we feel a certain way and not bypass bad feelings for the "good vibes only" thing. 

    Enter: journaling, and not just for a few minutes, but for close to an hour. Our next guest on the show, coming up this weekend, Anna K. Morris, shares the 45 minute writing practice (come back to heat the rest of what she has to share!). This inspired my own journey in to this particular sensation, or feeling, and the idea of "writing through it" to get to the source of the "Oh."

    What is the thing you don't want to write about? Set a timer for 45 minutes - no distractions, and GO. Join us LIVE on Social media the next two weeks for more tips!

We'll also hear about her role as an executive director and the amazing documentaries she's produced, shedding light on the incredible American Mustangs and their impact on our lives.
