    Everything We Learned about Hope is Bullsh*t with Catherine Hammond

    Happy New Year! Welcome to 2022, the year of the REBELution! This is the year that we’re rebelling for rewriting our own script of success. The last two years have been a total shit show and now it’s time to take what we’ve learned as an opportunity to get clear on what matters most! I wanted to start this year with a conversation about HOPE. Now I’m not talking about what the movies tell us or even what the dictionaries have to say about it. My dear friend Catherine Hammond is here to flip the entire meaning of hope on its head and serve us up a fresh perspective. She even challenges how Brené Brown (GASP!) explains hope in her new book Atlas of the Heart. Catherine is an award-winning estate planning attorney, public speaker, author, and life transition guide. As an attorney, she helps people plan for and walk through difficult seasons in life, including chronic illness, disability and death. As a transformational coach, she leads people into living more fully, bravely, and beautifully. The heart-wrenching experience of her mother’s journey with Alzheimer’s Disease, beginning when Catherine was still a teenager, inspired her to spend her life helping others navigate life’s challenges. Catherine is currently writing her second book entitled Hope(less). What We’re Talkin’ About: The truth about hope (and why it’s not circumstantial or cognitive) How to identify what disconnects us from hope (and what to do about it)Hope vs. Optimism Tools that connect us to our inner wellspring of hopeWhat it means to live a zero regrets life - on your terms Follow Catherine: Instagram: @catherinehammond.life | @zeroregretslifeWebsite: catherinehammond.life Connect with Shelley: Instagram: @soulbbaticalWebsite: soulbbatical.com Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl Top Regrets of the Dying by Bronnie Ware This show is produced by Soulfire Productions

    The Freedom of (Finally) Choosing Me with Kelli T Moore

    Imagine the delicious freedom of never abandoning yourself again. Never choosing the approval and validation of others in order to feel enough. Never valuing the opinions of others over the knowing of your truth. Never dismissing — or distracting from — your own desires and feelings. Never being afraid of being alone with yourself.  That’s exactly what Kelli Moore chose when chronic illness, sexual harassment, and abortion forced a profound realization that living for everyone else meant never truly living for herself. Processing that pain and anger meant coming to terms with every single aspect of how she really wanted to be living her life. And then consciously — and courageously — creating it from the ground up.  Today’s Rebel Souls podcast conversation is the intimate story of how Kelli finally chose herself. How she let go of the wrong job, the wrong guy, the wrong city, the wrong narratives, and the wrong goals, in service of her (scary AF) truth.  What We’re Talkin’ About: Kelli’s journey to a life based on trust, knowing, and permission to say YESPeople pleasing: when disappointing others feels like deathThe expansiveness of letting yourself feel what you feel Getting curious about how, when, and why we numb Unapologetically exploring our sexuality as a way to deepen connection with ourselves Follow Kelli: Instagram: @kellitmoorePodcasts: The Kelli Show | OK, BabeWebsite: soulfireproductionsco.com Connect with Shelley: Instagram: @soulbbaticalWebsite: soulbbatical.com This show is produced by Soulfire Productions

    The Inner Game: Untaught Essentials of Leadership with Jeremy Hunter

    There’s nothing like a cosmic kick in the ass to remind us of what’s most important. Suddenly the decision to stop giving our precious energy and attention to things that just don’t matter becomes a no-brainer. Full stop.  But why do we wait to reclaim our agency until we’re face-to-face with our own mortality? And what impact is this really having on the quality of our life and leadership? (Spoiler alert: IT’S MASSIVE.) Today’s Rebel Souls conversation with Jeremy Hunter is a wake-up call for us all. Thirty years ago he was diagnosed with a terminal illness and told he had five years to live. That news turned his world — and approach to life — inside-out. Literally. He chose to face his fears, train his mind, and navigate his experience internally. His journey exposed the profound realization that quality of attention is quality of life. (Mind officially blown.) What We’re Talkin’ About: Lessons from beating a terminal illness The relationship between mindfulness, self-leadership, and successKey ways to reclaim our attention in the distraction economyZones of the inner game and how to create robust support systems “The Invisible Office” and why the consciousness of a leader is the consciousness of an organization Follow with Jeremy: Website: jeremyhunter.netPodcast: Untaught EssentialsSoundcloud: Jeremyhunter123 A Practice to Embrace New Beginnings Three Signs Your Attention Just Got Hacked Inner MBA Connect with Shelley: Instagram: @soulbbaticalWebsite: soulbbatical.com This show is produced by Soulfire Productions

    Making Midlife Sexy Again with Dr. Sarah Milken

    Hello Soul Fam!! WOW, today’s conversation is such a wild ride. I had the incredible opportunity to talk to Dr. Sarah Milken and she gave us the truth we all need to hear about midlife. After going through different seasons in her life and coming to a point of “now what?” she decided it was time to recreate herself. That led to the launch of her podcast, The Flexible Neurotic, which focuses on normalizing and inspiring self-reinvention in the second half of life. Dr. Sarah gets into her story of how she grabbed her “golden shit shovel” to dig deep and share all the things around normalizing the shit that comes up with midlife. Calling it her midlife remix, she has an incredible story about recreating herself at 46 years old that we all need to hear. It truly takes courage to reclaim our truth and purpose and it’s also the most rewarding. it’s time to live midlife on our own terms. What we’re talkin’ about: Getting the midlife “itchies” and how to scratch the itchBeing scared and doing the brave thing anyway What midlife sexy and unapologetic authenticity have in commonMental and sexual health for the second half of lifeHow to start living midlife on your own damn terms Follow with Dr. Sarah: Instagram: @theflexibleneuroticWebsite: theflexibleneurotic.comPodcast: The Flexible Neurotic Connect with Shelley: Instagram: @soulbbaticalWebsite: soulbbatical.com This show is produced by Soulfire Productions
