    Ep. 46 | Dispelling Fear from the Body

    Fear is one of those emotions that can lock us down. And yet, it's also a very natural human thing to experience. Fear was important for our survival instincts, but the times of running and hiding from predators is far behind us. As human beings that desire to expand, to create our best realities and live a beautiful life, we must also learn how to manage and dispel from from our bodies. Tara Brach said that the first step to nudging fear out of our lives is to accept it. That means recognizing it’s there and saying, “OK, but it’s not taking over.” We must pause, breathe, feel & allow it to leave our mind & bodies.

    Ep. 45 | The Cost of Limited Beliefs

    Our limiting beliefs come with a cost, preventing us from expanding and embodying our full potential as people. Marianne Williamson, Author of A Return to Love, has written: “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be?" Our limiting beliefs are there as a result of the habitual patterns that we have developed over the years. They may stem from childhood, and they may even be ancestral thought patterns. To replace these ideas with new ones, and unlock new layers of possibilities, we must, first, become aware of our thoughts and the realities that we create with our words. We both believe in the power of community & friendships to help along this process of reclaiming our power. As mirrors of one another, P&V dive more into the cost of limiting beliefs in Episode 45.

    Ep. 44 | Making Friends as Adults

    Friends can provide us with a beautiful sense of community & belonging. And most importantly, making friends as an adult is important for our emotional well-being. But it's not always so straight forward to know HOW to make new friends when we are older. People develop their routines, and our social circles may remain consistent throughout the years...unless we actively put ourselves in new situations in order to attract the new friends we desire. P&V chat about their personal experiences and the ways in which they go about making friends in adulthood. And remember: if you desire to attract new friends in your life, it all stems from that one intention. There are millions of people in this world, and although you aren't for everyone, your vibe does attract your tribe.

    Ep. 43 | Microdosing On Impermanence

    All things are temporary. Everything around is in a constant state of change, which is the beauty of impermanence. A flower, once picked, only lasts for a short period of time. Before long, it will wilt before our very eyes, turning to gray & dust. The impermanence of life can help us appreciate the present moment. When we understand that everything is impermanent, we are less likely to become overly attached to things or people. We recognize that all things are fleeting, and that trying to hold onto them only causes suffering. What would it be like to truly appreciate and savour each moment? When we recognize that the present moment is all that we have, and so there is nowhere else to be than right here. In Episode 43, P&V chat about the benefit of microdosing on impermanence, or being aware of this fluctuating nature of everything around us.

    Ep. 42 | Maximizing Efficiency in Life with Joy

    Maximizing efficiency in life can help you to accomplish more in less time, which will allow you to pursue more of your goals and aspirations. It can also help you to reduce stress, manage your workload more effectively, and increase your sense of satisfaction and fulfillment in life. However, it's important to note that efficiency should not be pursued at the expense of joy. While it's true that productivity can help you to achieve your goals and feel more fulfilled, it's also important to take time to enjoy the process of working towards those goals. Finding a balance between productivity and joy can be challenging, but it's important to remember that these two goals are not mutually exclusive. By focusing on efficiency and productivity, you can create more time and space in your life for the things that bring you joy, and by prioritizing joy and fulfillment, you can cultivate a sense of purpose and meaning that will help you to stay motivated and engaged in your work. 
In Episode 42, P&V deep dive into maximizing efficiency in life with joy.

    Ep. 41 | Are We Free People?

    Freedom. As people, we desire to be ‘free.’ But what does freedom look like? Autonomy over one’s own life & the choices that are being made is one way that freedom can be exercised. But we cannot talk about freedom without speaking to the state of the world. As V puts it, “We are not free until everyone is free.” And there is much to be done in the name of global freedom. In episode 41, P & V chat about this state of freedom and the importance of storytelling to bring about the revolution. The power of change does lie in our hands, but in order to move forward, we must remember our unity as people. Freedom requires all of us to show up. And for those of us that have the ability to do so, it’s important to make choices in daily life that will fill your cup. Do not cage yourself by your own limitations. It’s with our resiliency that we can truly show up in the world with the power that is required to inspire and strengthen the collective.

    Ep. 40 | Unraveling Anxious Attachments

    Amongst the various attachment styles, anxious attachments have been coming up a lot lately for your co-hostesses.  Although the secure attachment style is the ideal one, sometimes... we have what we have, and it's our responsibility to unpack and understand our ways so that we can work towards what we want (which is to be secure in our attachments).  In this episode, P & V discuss how even though you can be secure in yourself, there is still anxiousness in unmet needs that is so real when we live in tandem and in community.  Sometimes this may lead to having difficult conversations, embodying frustration, lowering unrealistic expectations, and recognizing where you hyperfocus. Energy goes where attention flows, so be mindful of who you breathe life into. This podcast episode is filled with shares, personal reflections, breaking down the concept of anxious attachment styles, where they stem from, and how you can break free from this way of being. Mentioned in this episode is Jenna Ward's School of Embodied Arts Podcast | Embodied Dating with Anna Rova :
