Panicked or empowered? I used to ignore this part of my business until I couldn’t put it off any longer. Then I’d rush around trying to put things together, cross my fingers and hope for the best.  This year I finally decided to pay attention to this part of my business and that meant asking for help, educating myself and finding resources that fit how I wanted to be, do and feel around my business finances.  Hear how things went from chaos (I almost lost all the financial records for 2024!) to feeling clear about what to do moving forward.  🌟Grab Alecia’s Reclaiming You Training for women business owners and real estate investors who want to build a sustainable business that prioritizes your well-being and the people you love.  Disclaimer Connect with Us: Send questions and feedback to hello@consciousedge.com or DM @aleciastg on Instagram.

Where the need to be right can come from and how to recognize what’s really going on.  How to truth-test your beliefs and determine if they are aligned.  How to use mindfulness to choose peace instead of conflict.

  5. When Holiday Help and Gift Giving Feels Awkward

    When Holiday Help and Gift Giving Feels Awkward

    As the holiday season unfolds, we’re diving into something we all experience but rarely discuss; those awkward moments when help is offered or gifts are exchanged, and we don’t quite know how to respond. Welcome. I’m Alecia St. Germain and I’m joined by my co-host Jonathan Dugger and we’re diving into why we can find it hard to receive with joy and what’s actually behind the awkwardness.  Jonathan reminds us that giving and receiving isn’t just related to gifts. We often relate the same types of responses when people offer help or even compliments. Receiving help or gifts can trigger unexpected discomfort.  We explore how societal conditioning often ties receiving to vulnerability or even weakness. Research reveals that being open to receiving can actually produce more joy than giving. It’s about practicing receptiveness as a skill and reshaping how we perceive acts of generosity. It may seem awkward to work on your receiving muscles, but according to the research, the results are worth the effort.  Happy Holidays!

  6. Handling Holiday Overwhelm

    Handling Holiday Overwhelm

    Hi friends, Alecia St. Germain here, joined by my amazing co-host Jonathan Dugger. As the holiday season sweeps in with its dazzling lights and endless to-do lists, we wanted to share some heartfelt insights on navigating the season without losing yourself in the overwhelm.  One of the most powerful shifts we can make is being intentional about how we label our experiences. As Jonathan points out, we often misuse words like “overwhelmed” when what we’re really feeling is stressed, inconvenienced, or even just busy. Recognizing this difference can help us stay grounded and avoid spiraling into emotional overload. We can set ourselves up to exaggerate our circumstances when we use charged language. The holidays can trigger a range of complex emotions. It can bring joy, nostalgia, grief, and even guilt. It’s crucial to acknowledge these feelings without judgment. For many of us, it brings feelings of dissonance or disconnection from how we think we should feel.  We can set ourselves up for failure if we don’t own how we’re feeling in a positive way. Jonathan shares how losing his dad changed his family’s holiday traditions and how embracing new ways of celebrating has helped ease that sense of loss. Sometimes, holiday traditions can feel more like obligations than sources of joy. There’s often over-compensation to buy gifts, host parties, send out cards and more to make up for lost time or a lack of connection throughout the year.  Jonathan and I discussed how reevaluating and simplifying holiday customs can make space for genuine connection. My family decided to spread celebrations over several weekends, giving us time to relax and truly enjoy each gathering. It’s okay to focus on what really matters today. What is an important part of your tradition that you can do in a new way? The ability to slow down and find what works for you and your family. Your holidays don’t have to conform to someone else’s idea or to an outdated tradition that isn’t attainable anymore.  Jonathan shared a story about a friend who found comfort simply by visiting an ice-skating rink, soaking up the joy of strangers. Sometimes, when joy feels distant, borrowing it from the world around us can be a beautiful act of self-care. The holidays don’t have to be picture-perfect. They can be imperfectly beautiful, filled with intentional moments of connection, gratitude, and even quiet reflection. Let’s rewrite the narrative this season—letting go of outdated expectations and embracing what truly matters. We’d love to hear what resonated with you. Connect with me on Instagram and share your takeaways. We’re sending you love and light this holiday season.  Resources:  Episode 3 - What to do When You're Feeling Overwhelmed  Atlas of the Heart by Brené Brown Sending you love and be well!

  8. A New Approach to Goals

    03/12/2024

    A New Approach to Goals

    Rethinking Goals: Finding Joy and Purpose Beyond the Checklist Hey love, Jonathan is back with me today and as we were getting ready to record, I couldn’t help but reflect on how often goals—those shiny, specific, time-bound targets we’re told to set—end up feeling like something that’s holding us back instead of moving us forward.  Goals have value, but if you put so much weight on them that you judge yourself by their completion, they can be demotivating.  Jonathan shares that we’ve been told if it’s not specific, measurable, and time-bound, it’s useless. But that’s not true. We also overlook our changing desires and focus as it relates to our goals. He shared that dreaming big has become outdated or is sometimes treated as a joke. Dreams and intentions are what drive us forward.  This struck a chord with me. How often do we box ourselves in, believing success means rigidly hitting targets, even when they don’t feel aligned with who we are or what we want? We used the wellness wheel to talk about examples of a goal-setting process.  Jonathan shared a personal story about his journey with meditation, a perfect metaphor for how we can reframe our goals. During a graduate school workshop, he studied with Buddhist monks who taught traditional stillness meditation. It didn’t take long for him to realize he was in big trouble.  Jonathan tried hard to clear his mind, sit perfectly still, and follow the rules. By the final exam—a 45-minute stillness practice—he thought he had finally succeeded. But when the monk tapped him on the forehead, signaling the end of the session, he grinned and said, “You were still, but not in here,” pointing to his mind. The lesson? Meditation doesn’t have to look one way. For Jonathan, it’s a walk among trees, the wind through an open car window, or savoring a good meal. “You have to find what works for you,” he said. That freedom, that permission to adapt, was life changing. It’s a lesson we can all take into how we approach goals. Sending you so much love. Be well.
