The Wild Edges of Being Human

Hey, Hey, it’s been a while since I recorded a podcast. I pretty much have taken all of February off… little life drama in a couple of areas going on and I just made space for myself to not be constantly creating. So this is episode number 164 and today we’re going to talk about dumb goals.  You’ve heard of smart goals: Specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time bas...

This episode is going to be a little different.

Oh, I got something for you today.  I want to talk about Internal safety and Self Leadership. I’m working with my clients right now on some inner work that’s disguised as a visibility challenge.

When the frustration of being over committed shows up. When y...

How the 8 Cs of Internal Family System can support your work. IFS is a non pathologizing evidenced based model. It’s a means of working with our many thoughts, emotions, beliefs, behaviors and different parts of ourselves that make up the natural multiplicity of the human mind.

   Inner Authority.     To what are you unconsciously or consciously giving your authority and autonomy.

This morning I listened to a podcast that came out where I was the guest Sue Revell’s “Woman On A Mission Podcast.” We recorded it a few weeks or months ago. It is both vulnerable and awkward and awesome to listen to myself and that’s what my episode is about today… in more ways than one. So often we simply don’t listen to ourselves.   I know that we have been discouraged from listening to ou...

At the beginning of the year I hired a coach to work on self leadership and self trust and a whole new deepening of who I be is being cultivated.   I love a good reset!

We take on a lot of shit in this thing called ordinary everyday life. It’s natural, it’s human, there is nothing wro...
