Tenaciously Being

I’ve had to listen to this episode 3 times before mustering up the courage to post it. It’s different. It’s unpolished. It’s more “raw” than what I’ve recorded so far… and I’m ok with it (now). This is the evolution in human consciousness. We’re doing it. With every action we take, with every thought we become aware of, with every behavior we choose to walk away from… we’re evolving. Our human ava...

This episode is just a straight up gush on one of my favorite people to learn from, Kate Northrup. I’m honored to be one of her affiliates for this year’s programs and this week she has turned up the 🔥 heat with a new FREE workshop! Using the link below to sign up lets Kate know that you heard about her magic through me. The ripple effect is powerful, and the truth that she is bringing to the wor...

This episode was recorded back in August, 2023 when I was really fired up about TDS because it was in my face. I see it in my friend groups, on social media, and unfortunately in my daily life. It bugs me still (this episode is published in April, 2024), but I’m not quite as fired up about it these days as I was when I recorded this episode. It’s not easy to talk about this because I’m not a suppo...

This is actually a term I’ve heard floating around the interwebs for a while now. “Trump Derangement Syndrome” is when one is so blinded by hatred for this one particular man, that they immediately side with the opposing argument… often forgetting to engage in critical thought. I consider myself a recovering TDS… I dunno… patient? 🤷‍♀️addict? Whatever the title it doesn’t matter, I first witnesse...

Hopefully you can find it in your heart to work with me as I learn how to be more of a listener and not talk all over my guests 😆. This is a lovely conversation between myself and a dear friend of about 15 years. We’ve always pushed each other’s boundaries when it comes to how we think about life - the shoulds, needs, opportunities, and pitfalls. This episode is a shining example of how even thro...

In this episode I open up a little about how the thoughts, beliefs and patterns in my life are affecting my feelings on both the micro and macro levels. It’s important to feel, for sure. But what if your feelings seem to keep you stuck? Or what if your feelings offend others and isolate you? It’s complicated - realistically, much more than one episode complicated. Basically we’re opening the conve...

Well, I did it… I pushed record and laid it out there. I’ve been hesitant to record this episode because my answer is very much NOT the answer you might want to hear. I decided to go for it anyway because it has been the topic of real conversation at least once a week amongst my friends and peers. Whether I overhear the comments or they are directly asking me what to do about XYZ sickness or “bug...

Welcome to the return of Tenaciously Being - Episode 31, Season 3. I took a deliberate break from recording at the beginning of the year, and it feels good to be back! I had lots of plans for promoting and growing TB over the break and absolutely NONE of them came to fruition. Ha! Such is life I suppose… I’ve decided to continue on as we began, weekly posts where podcasts are found. Once again, I...

Welcome to the final episode for Season 2 of Tenaciously Being, and also, the final episode of 2023. As we close out another calendar year, I’m making my wish for Humanity - that we all tap in a little more to our True Self. That we all listen a little longer and closer to the tiny whisper of a voice that lives within, that is our True Self who will never leave our side, and TRUST. I hope that the...

Well, friends, this is the closest thing to a “book report” as I’m going to manage this season. I know I keep threatening to talk about these stories, but when I read them I don’t practice note-taking or even underlining (the copy of “Brave New World” that I acquired is marked up a TON, but it seems to be by a teenager who wasn’t understanding the bigger picture 😆). I’m a bit more of a “wing-it”...

Turns out, in order to discuss the question: “Who is They?” I decided it was important to go Quantum with it and discuss energy. Ultimately, in case you feel like I don’t answer it specifically, “They” is the dark/lower-vibrating frequencies that keep us connected to the 3D world where the lower/dark frequencies of hate, fear, scarcity, anger, anxiety, depression, etc. are able to exist and theref...

In this episode we explore the definitions & meanings of these terms; one of them being the 2022 word of the year, ironically. As we approach the end of a calendar year, and begin to take stock of what’s happened and what is to come, it’s important to recognize that these two concepts play a part in each of our lives - even if we think they don’t. How in touch with our intuition and true Self are...

This episode is certainly my most vulnerable yet. Having a meltdown during the holidays isn’t fun for anyone involved, but especially not the one melting down. Once the fire has burned down, I often have more clarity and understanding about the why and what I was processing. Our bodies are our allies if we allow them to be. I’m grateful for the space to process, the unconditional love that surroun...

Here we are friends, episode 25 Tenaciously Being, and this episode coming to you on Thanksgiving, 2023. An American Holiday, no doubt, and one that is ripe for being reckoned with as our Collective Society is evolving so massively. So many traditions are being turned upside down and shook out… this one is on the list, it’s only a matter of time. This time of year also marks the slippery slope of...

This was needed for myself, so I figured it may be needed for you too. Things can get a little hectic and overwhelming this time of year (approaching the holidays in the US). I know I have a tendency to take on way too much this time of year and I end up looking back and wondering how much of all the things I actually savored and will remember. It’s not always easy to let some things go, but it’s...

This episode is a recap/deeper dive into the concept of Core Consciousnesses as learned from Lorie Ladd and her book, The Divine Design. This time of year can be very stressful for many people, myself included and it is always nice to be reminded of my Higher Self, which allows me to Surrender a little more when the world seems to spin too fast. I hope this episode finds you open to new ideas, rec...

This episode is a little different from episodes thus far on Tenaciously Being. I was inspired after listening to a new podcast (that the algorithm fed me… which has its own set of questions, I’ll reserve for a different episode), and while still on my walk, decided to just use the audio recorder on my phone to record my thoughts. Turns out a lot of them are still-to-be-answered-questions. I’ve be...

Tap into your ability to simply BE with these 5 steps, originally jotted down after hearing Lorie Ladd describe them to us a few years ago. These 5 words are taped inside the cabinet where I get coffee/tea and supplements, so they’ve been oozing their way into my consciousness for a while now. It was a lot of fun to give my take on this simple yet profound way of Being. It’s been a journey to disc...

What do you say when the rest of the world seems to have all the things to say already? It seems there’s always someone around to disagree and cancel, why bother saying anything at all? It appears we’re supposed to take a side these days… in more ways than we realize. I’m wondering if there’s a better way, a more evolved way, a way that perhaps we can’t quite fathom or see or understand just yet....

In this episode, I’m diving into the belief that I’m beginning to boldly claim - that germs do not cause illness and are not the enemy. There is a collection of videos offered with The End Of Covid, and I’ve been making my way through them since July when they were first released. There’s a free viewing period until October 18th (which is an extension due to their hosting server being overwhelmed...

This just might be my most touching episode yet, I had a little tear in my eye when I finished. 😅 I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about “My Purpose” in Life and where my passion for Creativity meets the way I feel about the shit-show of current “modern” civilization. I basically dive into all the ways Political Correctness ruined me (and I believe pretty much everyone’s) ability to think for my...

This episode of the Tenaciously Being podcast is actually a direct reading of a children’s picture book titled, “The Little Soul and the Sun” by Niel Donald Walsh. This book was brought up in conversation and recommended to me by a dear friend (and fellow Empress) who also listens to a lot of Lorie Ladd, homeschools her kids and follows a non-western-medical methods of healing and wellness. In an...

Cyclical Living was completely new to me 6 years ago when I was first introduced to it. It blew my mind. And then it blew my partner’s mind. It took a lot of practice, attention, communication, dedication, and very quiet listening in order to fold it into our lives. And I can say, without a doubt, that it is a foundational component to living our best life. Everything has a cycle - we live in a cy...

In this episode, Rather dives into her family’s decision to homeschool… and then not. It gets a little personal when these discussions come up because we are social creatures and most of us learned our social tendencies through the school system. We hear a lot of “I went to public school and I turned out fine” sorts of comments when in discussion. This episode is meant to discuss those types of co...

This episode hits the “Back to School” vibes with a recap of our trip to Disney World, with a surprisingly “esoteric” twist from the teachings of Lorie Ladd. A few notes that I jotted while listening: Nope, not on YouTube yet… anyone want to help me out with graphics for my intro? Standby for homeschool episode, it did get recorded that afternoon and will be Episode 15. Did my favorite linguistic...
