METAMORPHOSIS

Rae Trigg

Metamorphosis is the art of extraordinary aliveness. A podcast for those who are outgrowing the lives they've built so far. Each week I explore what it means to become fully alive in a world that keeps asking us to become more and more beige, drawing from my ongoing training in Kalaripayattu (an ancient Indian sword-fighting martial art), physical vitality, ancient wisdom, psychology, and the everyday lessons of coaching and life. Because the real transformation isn't just becoming someone new. It's becoming too alive, too radiant, too vast to stay inside a cocoon you've already outgrown.

    S3-E26: You're an expert on everyone but yourself, and that's why you're afraid.

    For most of my life, I've been an expert on everyone else. I always know what people need, what they feel, how to keep the peace. I can always anticipate reactions and shape myself around the world outside me, and I suspect that you probably can too. But what I didn't know, for alllll of these years? My own self. This year, hundreds of hours of Kalaripayattu, daily sādhanā and relentless discipline have gifted me something I never expected. Becoming fearless. All those hours of training made me fearless because it suddenly became essential to go deep within myself, within my own being. We can never become fearless through anticipating and curating and managing the world outside of us. The fear that brews outside is no match for the trust that lives and breathes inside. ꩜ Your own reservoir of fearlessness is waiting to be discovered and unleashed. If this episode hit close to home and you're ready, my 1:1 mentorship FEARLESS is for you. Here's the form, you know what to do!https://tally.so/r/zxAE70

    S3-E25: Have you really OUTGROWN your life, or are you just restless?

    You’ve done all the things they said would make you happy, ticked all of the boxes, achieved all of those things. And from the outside, your life looks so beautiful!  But on the inside, it probably doesn’t feel as good as we were promised. It doesn’t feel like being full of life, full of energy. There’s no time to actually do the things you love, with the people you love.  I’ve been making some videos about this lately, and someone commented on one them asking “how do you know if it’s just a case of ‘the grass is always greener’? How do you know if you should move on to greener pastures, or just water the ground beneath your feet??”  How do you know when you’ve truly outgrown a beautiful life, or when you’re just restless?? This is a brilliant question, so I decided to record a whole episode about it to explore it in the time it deserves. This episode will give you a foolproof method for coming up with your own answer (which is always the best one!), and explores things like optimism versus delusion, and making sure you know what the 'greener pastures' actually are. ꩜ This is the exact work I do inside OUTGROWN, my 90-day private mentorship for women who've outgrown 'fine' and are ready to actually move.

    S3-E24: Six months, not a single day off. Peek inside my Kalari diploma!

    This feels like a HUGE milestone! 6 months into the 2 year Kalaripayattu diploma. An experiment, a commitment to attend every session of training, no matter what. This episode explores my life in the Kalari diploma, my normal daily schedule, my struggles, how I managed illnesses and injuries and food poisoning, how I navigated basically everyone in my life telling me I need to take rest days... Now I'm at 182 days of training, every single day. No days off, no training sessions missed. 700+ hours of training. Not just to toot my own trumpet, but to invite YOU to do something that everyone in your life thinks is impossible and unreasonable! To push your own boundaries of what you believe is possible for yourself. I also share with you a big gap I've discovered in my learning and training, which I am excited to explore more over the next 1.5 years. Let's go!

    S3-E23: You already know what you've outgrown - AWAKEN THE DRAGON.

    There is a THING that you have outgrown in your life. And you know it, even if you haven't properly admitted it to yourself yet. A job, a relationship, a bad habit, an old friendship, a city, a country, an identity - maybe more than one of these! Why do we KNOW we have outgrown something, but still stay? Why do we choose the familiar small box over the vast spectrum of possibilities that actually exist??? This is the question that is the foundation for all of my client work, and it is fuel that created AWAKEN THE DRAGON. Awakening the dragon is a process of inner alchemy, a process of learning power through flow and not force, a process of discovering the extraordinary latent potential energy within you that is lying dormant and asleep, even though you probably have a sense that it exists. When you awaken your inner dragon, tiny boxes and familiar comforts lose their appeal altogether. You already know what you've outgrown. The only question is, how much longer are you willing to stay there? If you're ready to leave the cage behind, applications for my 90-day private mentorship are now open.

    S3-E22: The reason you don't feel naturally magnetic (and how to fix it!)

    Extraordinarily magnetic, unshakeable, creative and feeling completely supported and delighted by life: this is our natural state as human beings!  The reason that so many of us don't feel this for the vast majority of our lives is because our modern society has flipped our natural polarity.  Our heads and minds are so, so dense and heavy.  Our power house in our lower abdomen has no gravity, no force of stability or will, and often we’re completely disconnected from it altogether Our hearts feel compressed and constricted, even although we are trying to keep them open and loving. So how do we return to our natural state of joy and magnetism?? This poddy episode explores exactly that. I am SOOOOOO happy to finally feel free to share all of this with you, and finally be able to put it into words in a (hopefully) coherent way, I’m going to be sharing A LOT more about this from now on!  If this episode stirred something within you and you want support rediscovering your natural state, message me directly and let’s connect further.

    S3-E21: Three Kalari injuries, three life epiphanies!

    It’s been a while since I recoded a podcast episode about life lessons from Kalari, so here we go!  I have had 3 main injuries so far, 5.5 months into the Kalaripayattu diploma - and each of them has forced me to confront something about myself, specifically related to the injury itself but also in a much broader sense of my own life and character!  The first injury was my knee (all kalaripayattu practitioners go through this!), which taught me about alignment. The second injury was/is my ankle, which is teaching me about weakness. The third (and ongoing) injury is my elbow, which is teaching me a lot about control. Come along for the exploration, you might be able to recognise these things in your own life too!

    S3-E20: This ONE THING is sabotaging your "quantum leap" every time!

    I don’t know about you, but my social media and YouTube is FULLLLL of ‘quantum leaping’ and ‘timeline shifting’ videos - secret methods, tips and hacks promising to teleport you into the most evolved and radiant version of yourself. I’m using these terms kind of ironically, because of course in principle, quantum leaping is easy, all you have to do is behave differently than how you normally behave, which takes you from your current (and very predictable) trajectory to a new trajectory; a new ‘timeline’ if you will! The problem is that there is one MAJOR roadblock we all run into that sabotages our ability to actually behave differently, which then sabotages our ‘quantum leaping’. This episode dives into the roadblock, and how to navigate it so you can 'timeline shift' at your leisure!

    S3-E19: "Hustling" is out, "Nervous System Regulation" is in - and we're trapped in the beige middle!

    'Hustling' has been well and truly cancelled, and if your Instagram feed is like mine then every second post is something about 'nervous system regulation'. A big problem happens when we get stuck between these two things, because this wonderful state of 'ease and flow' that we would all love to experience actually comes from a state of mastery, which comes from spending thousands of hours worth of energy and effort on something worth learning and devoting ourselves to. So how to do that without 'hustling'?! And how to 'regulate our nervous system' when most of our time resting is actually spent scrolling or watching something on TV, which isn't actually relaxing for our nervous system at all?! The beige middle is a no-mans-land where we're stuck in an chronic state of passionless dissatisfaction, so lets GET OUT!
