Intentional Living with Tanya Hale

Alright.  Today we're hitting some of the basics of self-coaching, figuring out how to tell the difference between the facts in our story and our thoughts in our story.  This is the first and most important skill to master in being able to start moving towards a more healthy emotional life and being in control of our emotions and how much drama we experience.  

All of us find ourselves in a place of overwhelm at times.  Today we're discussing how to get out of it, and how to keep from going there as often and as deep.  

Setting and accomplishing goals is one of the hallmarks of all successful people.  Today we're discussing five of the biggest mistakes we can make when setting goals, and how to combat them.

Who are the people you trust to be in your inner circle?  These are the friends who are closest to you, who know your hopes and dreams and fears, and with whom you can be most vulnerable.  We have a lot of friends in our lives, but there are just a few who have earned the right to the title of inner circle.  Join me today as we discuss the qualities of an inner circle friend, which can be very dif...

For most of my life I believed the adage "forgive and forget", and in so doing, I thought that if I forgave someone I also had to trust them.  Not so!  Forgiveness and trust are not the same thing.  In today's episode, we discuss what forgiveness is and why having a forgiving heart doesn't require that we also have a trusting heart.

Being nice and being kind -- they're not the same thing.  Join me today as we discover why it's so much better to be kind than to be nice.  

So many of us live our lives in such an unsettled place.  We don't feel we're good enough, or strong enough, or beautiful enough.  We really struggle to accept ourselves for who we are, our strengths and weaknesses, and we struggle to accept others as well.  Today we'll discuss how we can live a more content life, a life full of acceptance and growth.  

Do you have a growth or a fixed mindset?  And why would it matter?  Based off of Carol Dweck's phenomenal book "Mindset", today we are discussing what the difference is between a growth and a fixed mindset and why it's important.  Trust me.  It matters.

Our self-worth is not something we build up, but rather something we discover.  Each of us is a person of worth just because we are -- just because we are human.  Discovering that we are enough is the most important thing we can do in this life because it fuels every decision that we make.  Join me today as we discuss how to discover that we are enough.

Unconditional love is perhaps the biggest secret to truly being happy and content in life, and it's probably not what you think!  Join me today as we discuss what unconditional love is, what is isn't, and how to get there.

So much more to say about Boundaries!  We'll discuss even more about why boundaries are so important for healthy and intimate relationships and look more in-depth at why we often struggle so much with setting boundaries.

Boundaries are so important for strong and healthy relationships.  In this episode we will explore what it means to have healthy boundaries and why they are so important.

Doesn't that just sound great?  To be happy all the time?  Well it does, until it doesn't.  Positive and negative emotions are necessary for our well-being and happiness.  Today we'll discuss why this is and how negative emotions can actually help us to have greater happiness than before.

Listening is the most vital skill for good communication and connection, and yet so many of us are just not good listeners.  Today we'll discuss how we can strengthen this skill and improve our relationships as a result.

Changing our behaviors can be one of the most challenging things in our lives.  Today we'll discuss how to create long-lasting change to put us on the path of personal growth we really want to be on. Remember to subscribe so you don't miss an episode!

Most of us come from a place where we are not big fans of conflict, in fact, often we say we hate conflict.  Today we'll discuss how conflict can be a good thing and how we can use it to strengthen our relationships.  

If you're like me, you may have a few control issues here and there.  Today we'll discuss when it's ok to have control issues and when it's not, because sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't.
