    Powerback 204: Chaos to calm - getting used to slowing down

    Powerback 204: Chaos to calm - getting used to slowing down

    In today’s Powerback® episode, we're talking about going from chaos to calm. In other words, getting used to things working, getting used to slowing down, getting used to being able to sit with things, to enjoy things, to be in the moment.

    When you have been used to operating in a place of chaos, where you have been a master fixer, you're the one that everyone goes to, you're just always on the go fixing, doing, putting out fires, making shit happen, then the second that you try to embrace calm, your entire body, mind, soul, and everything else is going to push back with resistance.

    It doesn't mean that it's wrong, it means that it's new and unfamiliar. However, it is shiftable. You can absolutely shift from chaos to calm, and today we're going to talk about how to do that.

    We’ll go through:
    Resisting it when things are actually workingGoing back to chaos because it’s familiarHow to shift from chaos to calmWhat does calm look like for you?Catching, shifting, and moving differently

    Powerback 203: Increase your capacity to receive

    Powerback 203: Increase your capacity to receive

    Today, we are digging into the topic of receiving. As a very strong-willed person who is typically the one that everyone else goes to switching over to being a receiver versus always being a giver, doesn't always come quite so naturally.

    So, in this Powerback® episode, I'm going to share with you a couple of different ways that you can start to increase that capacity so that you can start to receive. Look, I'm not telling you to stop helping people, I'm suggesting that perhaps you start to help yourself first.

    We’ll go through:
    A time when I caught myself about to turn down some assistanceWhat receiving means in the first placeWhat stopping and minimizing looks likeWhy receiving can be so hard with a mindfuckery twist3 simple steps to increase your capacity to receive

Telling it like it is!

No fluff, actual advice, it’s a must-listen!
If you’re looking for a podcast that tells it like it is and gives you actionable advice to move forward with your goals, this is it. You’ll feel inspired and ready to take action after listening.

Real, Raw, Relatable

I recently found the Gutsy Podcast and felt immediate relieved when I started listening to this level of authentic conversation combined with tangible strategy. Entrepreneurship can be incredibly isolating but having this conversation in my pocket to listen on the go has given me the continual reminder of collective struggle & potential for success when we collaborate together.

LOVE!

I’ve listened to both solo and guest interview episodes, and I love them both! There seems to be a little bit of something for everyone, and I love LA’s “you’ve got this and I’m right there with you” energy.
