Episodes

Day 193 || Practice What Feels Good 18.08.2021

As you get more comfortable understanding what brings you that long term joy - you will also stop avoiding the things that can get you there faster - thus bringing in more and more opportunities for more and more joy.  Having faith literally increases your ability to have more faith. So lean in - trust that the universe has your back - and take some risks for your highest good. You’re worth the ri...

Day 192 || Avoiding Avoidance 17.08.2021

Day 191 || Community Building 16.08.2021

Don’t limit yourself because you might get hurt by connecting with people - you will guarantee that hurt by avoiding connection.  Be kind. Lead with love. Remember hurt people hurt people and your energy can diffuse a situation and really change people’s lives if you’re tactful with it. Be tactful. Protect your energy and show others how they can too. Take care of yourself and take care of others....

Day 190 || Save the Planet 14.08.2021

While we definitely cant save the world if we put it all in our own hands - we should NEVER doubt our personal power. Stand up for the planet, the future, and yourself by becoming more conscious and less impulsive with your daily choices for the next few weeks and see how good it feels to take steps towards preserving this majestic planet.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Day 189 || Opinions Optional 13.08.2021

 Having an opinion about everything isn’t necessary all the time. Sometimes, we may just want to listen. Sometimes we are around people we don’t feel super comfortable sharing our opinions around, sometimes we may not have an opinion on the subject at all - it doesn’t matter what the reason - as long as we understand that it’s not our job to entertain, educate, or inform anyone of anything when we...

Day 188 || Delayed > Instant Gratification 12.08.2021

Take advantage of the times when your energy is looking to serve a future you, as opposed to the now you - by leaning into the moments when you can delay your reward and create a longer window of enjoyment, peace and bliss for yourself.  Find what feels good not only in the moment - but in the long term as well.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Day 187 || Resource Protections 11.08.2021

The system is programmed to steal your resources just as it is programmed to steal the earth’s resources. They’re fracking you for labor and consumerism.  Start by protecting your own resources. Your energetic, creative, intellectual, conversational, financial, emotional, physical resources are all incredibly valuable just like your time - and all of those resources deserved to be treated as such....

Day 186 || Self Advocate 10.08.2021

Avoiding communication is one of the fastest ways to feel isolated in a room full of people. Bring yourself closer to the people in your life, by being honest with them and respecting them enough to trust them with knowing what is on your mind.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Day 185 || Conversational Interviews 09.08.2021

 You’re a good human regardless of if you’ve charmed the socks off of everyone around you or not. Stop exhausting yourself and those around you with this unspoken pressure to be the star of every experience. You can step up and ask questions - but if it’s not comfortable for either party - what is the damned point?  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Support this show h...

Day 184 || See a Need Fill a Need 08.08.2021

If you have the energy - don’t be afraid to step up and fill needs before they need to be filled as long as you remember that it’s not your responsibility to be useful all of the time or ever, honestly. Instead of thinking you always have to be of use, allow yourself to simply be - and remember your worth remains unflinching - even when you aren’t the one to save the damned day.  Learn more about...

Day 183 || Grownup Baby Knows No Better 07.08.2021

Just like a baby’s cry - we may not initially know what need needs tending to but the more we learn about an individual the more we may understand about their cries and appropriately be able to decipher between them. That said, it’s not our job to pick up for everyone else. The only person you are responsible for is yourself. Being the caretaker for everyone around you is not only taxing, but impo...

Day 182 || Giant Babies in Grown Up Costumes 06.08.2021

Even those people you truly believe have their shit together - don’t. Everyone is simply trying their best and there are certain things that every single human struggles with. No exceptions. Sure, some people have advantages that have set them ahead. Some people have good role models to show them the way. Some people have more time, money, and resources to get them ahead. But even still, with ever...

Day 181 || Create the Dream 05.08.2021

If all you want to do on vacation is eat sleep and read - start doing that shit now instead of waiting to spend all your money on that trip to Bali where youre gonna end up doing the same shit. I have talked about the importance of finding the vacation in your day to day but now I am encouraging you to create it.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Day 180 || Human Detox 04.08.2021

When was the last time you detoxified your energy from other humans? When was the last time you went into the woods or the beach or the lake or the park all by your damn self? When was the last time you were in charge of all of your decisions? When was the last time you were in control and actually TOOK control with your best interest at heart?  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm...

Day 179 || Obsessive Thinking 03.08.2021

Do that shit for yourself. What would make you feel the best coming from another person? You’re not by yourself, you get to be with yourself for yourself. Do that shit for yourself.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Day 178 || Prioritize You So They Can Too 02.08.2021

There shouldn’t be shame around breaking up with a person at any age - what there should be shame around is choosing and settling for a person you are completely unsatisfied and unhappy with just because you have a deadline to fill. Heartbreaks suck so bad because the joy that lies in sharing your heart with someone is so fuckin’ amazing. Why would you want to miss out on the magic just because yo...

Day 177 || Heartbroken + Proud Of It 01.08.2021

Heartbreaks suck so bad because the joy that lies in sharing your heart with someone is so fuckin’ amazing.

Day 174 || First Day Back Dread 29.07.2021

I have learned over the years that my problem is rarely my inability to finish things - it’s actually my resistance to beginning them that holds me back. An unfinished project is far less discouraging than a project you have yet to begin.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Day 173 || Lean into the Normal 28.07.2021

Stay present in the good times for sure, but don’t forget to stay grateful and present for the normal times too. The fact of the matter is - normal can be pretty dope - and if you lean into the not so normal shit with the right attitude - that can be pretty damn cool too.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Day 172 || Intuition Practice 24.07.2021

Follow your mistakes. If you make a wrong turn - honor it. See where that takes you! The point of the process is to remain to as present and as mindful as you can as you allow your intuition to pull you in whatever direction it aligns with.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Day 171 || Trust in the Plot 23.07.2021

There will be times that everything feels like it’s falling apart around you, like you can’t catch a break and the universe is out to get you but if you trust and have faith that things aren’t happening to you they are happening for you - you will not need to feel so burdened by them when they come and you can remember that it may have been a redirection you were waiting for all along.  Learn more...

Day 170 || Sustain the Vibes 22.07.2021

Stop waiting for the other shoe to drop when good things are happening to you. You deserve good things to happen to you and they are happening because of your commitment to yourself. Just don’t forget to continue that commitment by honoring what you really need in each present moment. You are allowed to take breaks especially if the upgraded problems feel a bit heavier at first. Then you can come...

Day 169 || Manifestation 21.07.2021
