Exmormonology

The time has come for me to say goodbye. Sounds like I am starting the song from The Sound of Music, but I am not. Wildflower, the time has come for me to hang up my Exmormonology & Soul Searching podcast. What a ride it has been. I really never thought I would say this goodbye. I hope you will listen to this podcast the whole way through. I believe in the power of coaching and I am not stopping m...

Life isn't supposed to be easy, it is supposed to be yours. This week, we are continuing the conversation from last week's episode, Trusting Yourself, Again. We talked about taking small steps toward the life you actually want. In this episode, we go a little deeper, because no matter what you choose, there is going to be some kind of hard. It is hard to stay stuck. It is hard to be depressed. It...

What if trusting yourself didn't have to be complicated? What if it could begin with one small promise kept, one quiet choice that builds confidence from the inside out? In this episode of Soul Searching Girl, we will redefine what self trust really means and how to build it, one gentle action (and thought) at a time. It is simpler than you think and more powerful than you imagine. Sign Up Here fo...

In this guided meditation, you are invited to lay down your emotional armor, the defenses you have carried to feel safe, seen, or protected. Together we will move into a space of calm where you no longer need to explain, justify or defend who you are. Let this be a moment to breathe, soften and allow peace to meet you exactly where you are. It is a gentle return to yourself, to the truth that you...

Inspired by Mandy Patinkin's famous Princes Bride quote, this episode explores what it means to live after the struggle, after the heartache, after healing. "I've been in the revenge business so long, now that it is over, I don't know what to do with the rest of my life." What happens when the struggle is over, when the story you have lived by for so long, no longer fits? Amy Logan, certified coac...

This episode is a cozy coffee shop chat about the magic that happens when your thoughts, emotions and actions finally line up. Today's episode feels like one of those heart to heart conversation we all need sometimes. If you have been spinning your wheels on the same struggle, goal or dream, this conversation will help you see what is really getting in the way. Everything you want in life IS possi...

In this follow-up to last week's episode on worry and rumination, we're talking about what comes after awareness. Noticing your patterns is the first step, but then what? How do you move from simply catching yourself in worry or rumination to actually shifting into trust, peace, and confidence? In this episode, I'll share what it looks like to move beyond awareness, why your brain resists change,...

Worry and Rumination are part of being human, but they can also keep us stuck in endless loops of "what ifs" and "should haves." In this episode, I explore the subtle differences between worry (future focused) and rumination (past focused), why our brains default to these patterns and how they drain our energy. I will also share simple ways to notice when you have slipped into the loop and gentle...

Hey Wildflower, As we move into September, I want to help you lessen your worry and ruminating ways. It is so easy to get caught up in worry and then ruminate over all the things that can go wrong in life. This way of handling your life's worries often becomes a habit. It is possible to break that habit and learn healthier ways of dealing with life's difficult emotions.  Let's start our month with...

In this second part of The In Between, we go deeper into the space between where you have been and where you are going, the place that feels messy, uncertain and full of doubt. This is where decisions are made, boundaries are set and enforced and uncomfortable feelings rise up asking to be felt. Some call it limbo, but I believe it is more than that, it is a fertile pause, the ground where healing...

I have been captivated by the concept of The In Between, that mysterious space between enduring your pain and trauma and fully moving forward. It is a place where it is easy to get stuck in familiar patterns of suffering, because they have become uncomfortably comfortable. Pain can feel like an old snugle blanket you have held onto for years and letting go feels strange, even a little like losing...

As we move through August, I want to talk about what I am calling "The In Between." The in between of pain/trauma/struggles and healing and truly moving through it all to get to the place of living the life you want. It is tricky because you are so used to our pain/trauma/struggles that you may not really know who you are without it.  Who are you without high levels of anxiety? Who are you without...

I have been sitting with a lot of emotions, like many of you, I am sure. The state of the world right now is heavy, overwhelming and a bit surreal. Before we dive into today's topic, I wanted to share some thoughts on that, because pretending everything is "normal" just doesn't feel right. Times are tough right now and this tells me that the work I do in the world is important. The work I do, the...

Welcome to a new month and a new theme inside The Green Shoe Society. July is The Summer of You and we are starting with a new guided meditation to help you gently root into self trust and build a grounded, long lasting self confidence. This 8 minute meditation is your reminder that confidence doesn't come from perfection or performance, it comes from the quiet belief that you can handle whatever...

The space between self doubt and self trust can be a very hard place to be. In this final episode of this trusting yourself series, we are diving into the emotional habits that keep you stuck and how to step into the role of observer so you can change them. Do you know how you habitually respond to stress? Trauma? Most of us don't. And when we are unaware, we keep reacting the same way, over and o...

Developing the ability to trust yourself is a skill, and like any skill, it gets stronger with practice.     This week on The Green Shoe Society, we are talking about why self trust can feel so hard (especially if you have spent years or decades second guessing yourself) and how to start building your trust muscle today. It doesn't have to be complicated or heavy. I want to help you to get to the...

This week on the Soul Searching Girl podcast we are slowing things way down, with a trust yourself meditation. As you move through your healing, connecting with your body isn't just helpful, it is essential. So often, we stay in our heads, trying to think our way to peace. However, true healing happens when you learn to feel your way there. Each month, I will be exploring a new theme, and once a m...

Think of your amazing brain as a beautiful garden labyrinth. There are moments when you wander through it, discovering new paths and ideas, feeling free and alive. But then, sometimes, you find yourself stuck in a corner, feeling lost, overwhelmed, or tangled in thoughts the seem to loop without end. In this episode, we will explore how it happens when your mind feels like it is trapped in a maze...

We are learning to feel our feelings so that our emotions do not prevent us from living the life we want to live. This is truly the secret to life. Being willing to feel difficult emotions instead of resisting them, is what will set you free. Often time we delegate our emotional health to those around us, giving all of our power away. As genxers, we have been through a lot. We have see a lot. We h...

In 2012, I started a Youtube Channel called Soul Searching Girl. At the time, I was stumbling through the aftermath of Mormonism, hurt, feeling betrayed, terrified and yet searching. I wanted other like me to know they weren't alone, that there was life on the other side of faith crisis and that healing was possible. It became a space of honesty, curiosity and connection.  Years later, I shifted m...

Wildflower, Have you spent years buying self help books, listening to podcasts, and trying to improve and heal yourself? Yeah, me too. This week I want to talk about how your desire to improve and heal your pains and trauma is so valid! No one ever taught us how to "figure it out."  If you are listening to this podcast, you are most likely along your own personal healing journey. I want you to loo...

You have heard the term people pleasing, but have you heard the phrase dishonest harmony? I want to share with you how those two words have changed my life and I believe they can change your life too. Dishonest harmony is in the family of people pleasing, yet somehow way more powerful. I have openings for new one on one clients.   amyloganlife.com Also!!!! ---> Join me and 10 other amazing humans...

Experiencing your high demand religion initial shelf break and subsequent faith crisis is so hard! It is emotional, earth shattering and very overwhelming. Just when you think you are starting to get your footing and everything will be okay, you get hit with another shelf break. Deconstructiong mormonism is the first step, quickly you learn that there is another shelf that comes tumbling down. Are...

About a month or so ago, a friend, a former Jehovah Witness friend, asked me a really great question, Is Healing An Illusion? I loved this questiong so much that I created a podcast around it. Let's dive into when healing does feel like an illusion and why and what you can do about it so you do not get stuck in the pain of reliving your pain/trauma again and again and again.  There is healing in t...
