P.S. We Expire with Morgan Motsinger

I've been a mother for 15 years. I've weathered the pregnancies and births of 3 children (and one miscarriage), and the death of my oldest when she was 14.    I have learned many lessons over the years, and although I have many more to learn, I've compiled a list of 5 Myths that have shaped how I view motherhood.    I love being a mom. It is the hardest and best thing I've ever done. Motherhood ha...

Where is the intersection of spirituality and technology?    Connection.   We have more information, opportunities, and people available to us at this point in history than ever before, so why do we still feel stuck and lonely?   Cass Shuck was at rock bottom. A young adult with severe PTSD and on loads of medications, she finally had enough. She delved into the world of spirituality, studying wit...

What if you could read a chart that told you what type of energy you have, how you can tell if you're making aligned choices, and give you a big ol' permission slip to lean into what feels just right?   Say hello to Human Design.    Human Design has made a really lovely impact on me. There are many personality traits that for years (*decades*) I thought were distasteful, wrong, or too much. I didn...

I used to think meditation was too out there. It was not a part of my self-care or mental health toolbox at all.    But then...I needed more tools to help me manage my anxiety. I read a lot about the science of meditation and realize there is data to support the benefits of this tradition that has been around for centuries.   I started meditating. Very sporadically and very clumsily. I didn't thin...

Have you been in the place where you thought, "I just need to burn my life to the ground and start over."    Marisa was an executive recruiter, living what looked like a perfect life. Behind the scenes, something was missing for her. She woke up to a different way of looking at life and turned her world upside down.    Join me as Marisa and I talk about what it means to live in alignment and how t...

Having difficult conversations feels awful. The nausea, the tight throat, the shaking hands, the dry mouth. Ugh.    What can we do to get better at having hard conversations? What can we do when we have needs to address with our spouse or partner, uncomfy subjects to navigate with our kids, or problems to talk about with our employer or employee?    I'm sharing 7 "Be's" with you on how to get bett...

"What is my purpose?" This may be one of the deepest questions we all ask. Philosophers have been asking this question for millennia, and today I'm tackling that question.    I don't think I have any new insight into this massive question, but I do have my experience, my theological training, my current education, and my curiosity that have guided me to a particular way to view this question. Firs...

Loneliness is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, obesity, cancer, dementia, depression, anxiety, suicide, and addiction.    Science in the medical community has shown how much loneliness impacts our mental, emotional, and physical well-being. But what do we do about it? What contributes to loneliness? How do we address it in our lives?   I'm sharing 4 questions you can ask yourself if...

The day I recorded this episode, April 4, 2023, marks 4 months since my daughter Anni died.   This week I'm deviating a bit from my typical format and sharing something more off-the-cuff.    Grief has surprised me in many ways, especially in the last 6 weeks or so. I'm not surprised that I'm grieving but I have been surprised by when grief shows up and what it looks like when it does.    Thanks fo...

When you hear words like embodiment, somatics, healing, does it feel a little woo-woo? Not so long ago I was unfamiliar with these concepts, but when I started to really dive into how our subconscious minds drive our behavior, so many answers clicked into place.    Today, Rachael Meeds and I dive into what healing through the use of somatic tools actually looks like. We discuss practical ways our...

Kim left her 20-year corporate career after a tragic personal loss as a result of domestic violence. We discuss what emboldened her to make such a profound shift in her career from corporate to business coach and why entrepreneurship, especially for women, is her passion.    We discuss the cost of staying silent truly is. We talk about how to manage the overwhelming amount of input people have int...

This episode is for you. Not your husband. Not your obnoxious neighbor. Not your mother-in-law.    This episode is all about personal responsibility. When we shift the narrative from being a victim, full of blame and shame, to the understanding that we have much more choice in our lives than we give ourselves credit for, possibilities open up.   We'll examine personal responsibility in relationshi...

Everything we believe is because we've thought something over and over and over again. This is good news because it means our beliefs are optional.    Knowing that we can consciously choose our beliefs is empowering and contributes to our ability to be resilient. We are not stuck with the beliefs we've always had about money, relationships, or the hard things that have happened to us.   Today, I'm...

Why do we self-censor? What are the risks of not living with integrity? We are rarely comfortable having difficult conversations, even (or maybe most especially) in our intimate relationships. Fear, conditioning, or experience may keep us from being totally honest with ourselves and with others. We can learn how to stop censoring ourselves and choose courage over comfort.    My guest today is an e...

In this episode, I brought on my sister, Geneva, to explore various view points of religion and spirituality. As I started to have questions about the belief system I grew up in, I started to see a lot of the harmful messaging that can be present in a fundamental and evangelical culture. As I began to explore further into this, I see that while there can be beauty in a religious community, there a...

In this week's episode I'm sharing all things Time Management, my favorite time management tool, and why this all matters. I know we tend to shy away from the topic of Time Management, and think it's too scary to talk about. Well, as you know, that's the whole purpose of this podcast! Leave it to me to dive into those type of topics with you, and face those fears so that they're no longer scary. J...

She also discusses her personal grieving experiences with her daughter, Anni.
