Today's episode is a bit of a riff on the serenity prayer. A big part of healing involves understanding the difference between what is meant to be changed in our lives vs what is meant to be accepted.
But once we've moved into acceptance, are we truly accepting it? Or is our acceptance more like resignation?
Authentic acceptance of a difficult circumstance in our life sets us free, while resignation often comes with a whole host of other, more negative feelings, like bitterness and resentment.
The truth is, you didn't come here to bear or endure your life. You came to live it full heartedly, with joy and with peace.
When we're stuck in non-acceptance or resignation, we block our own life force and we limit our power. As we learn to accept ourselves and whatever has been placed along our path, for our spiritual evolution, we tap the true vein of gold within.
Join the conversation today to learn more about cultivating this extremely important skill set of authentic acceptance in your own life.

When we're faced with big decisions in our lives, it can feel overwhelming. And once the overwhelm sets in, it can feel harder and harder to gain clarity and be confident that we're choosing well for ourselves.

This is a form you can submit to get your question answered by your favorite soul coach :) Tune in to learn more!

What happens in our lives is usually very different than the story we tell ourselves about what's happening in our lives. 
Herein lies the source of so much of our suffering as human beings - but also the source of our freedom!
Because as we understand how to interpret our struggles with more insight and wisdom, we can discover more empowering, optimistic ways to contextualize and work with them. 
In today's episode we pick up where last week's show left off - looking a little more deeply at the phenomenon of how difficult times often precede beautiful times and how important it is to trust that even when the way is not clear or the money isn't flowing yet for the work we love or there is loss along our path we must endure, we can still move forward with faith in our purpose, building new muscles through resistance training.

Do you know what a Tower moment is?
It's those times in our lives when everything spectacularly falls apart and we are forced to let go and change - often on short notice - into a whole new way of being.
A Tower moment is a nod to the Tower card in traditional tarot. It's symbolic of Death - specifically the kind of death that is necessary for new birth or rebirth to transpire in our lives. 
On today's episode of Love Notes From a Soul Coach, we're looking more deeply at the interconnection between Creation and Destruction - how they function together in our lives, how we can reframe those moments when everything is falling apart and see them as opportunities for new advancements on our path and work with them in the most empowered way possible.
See you inside the show!

On today's episode of Love Notes From a Soul Coach, we're talking about cycle breakers. A cycle breaker in a family system is the person who refuses to perpetuate the hurt they’ve inherited. They are the one, in the family lineage, who is determined to break the chain of dysfunction and do things differently. 
A cycle breaker says: REGARDLESS of how much hurt I’ve experienced, I refuse to allow that hurt to justify imposing the same kind of cruelty, hurt and abuse on someone else. 
The cycle breaker says: I acknowledge the hurt but I don’t act on it. I don’t act it out on others. I choose to use my precious time on earth to heal instead. To connect these dots and wake up and do things differently. 
The Somalian poet Warsan Shire wrote: 
no one leaves home unless
home is the mouth of a shark
No one ousts themselves from their own tribe unless there is something seriously wrong inside that tribe. The strength to stand up for what is true and right for us, according to our own internal, spiritual compass is a deeply courageous act and it yields, ultimately, to authentic healing in the family system. 
Learn more about cycle breakers, and how to support yourself if you identify as this role in your own family system, on today's episode.
