The Art Of Being H(YOU)man

Send a text I set the intention this season to have deeper, more challenging conversations where we had the opportunity to sit in the comfort of some potential disagreement - so how did I do?  In today's episode, I reflect on my experiences during this last season and share some of the things I learned! Wanna attend a Soul Sister Women's Circles? I know you do! So check them out in the l...

Send a text It can be so hard to be in a relationship with someone who is completely different than you - or that you strongly disagree with! And we tend to respond in interesting ways when we find ourselves in this situation - if we are feeling generous we might just choose to focus on what we agree on, or we put the relationship in the agree-to-disagree category, both potentially keeping the rel...

Send a text There's so much buzz around the word empathy - at times it can seem like the ultimate virtue, the one that could solve the world's problems. But there's a problem with empathy - too much of it can actually do more harm than good!! Joining me for today's conversation is Laili González! Laili has worked as an Interior Designer for nearly 20 years, but it was her own j...

Send a text It feels like everybody has a narcissist in their life nowadays - it makes me wonder if we have just had a huge influx or if we are just throwing around something we don't really understand! Joining me for today's conversation are Corissa Stepp and Janice Lombardo. Corissa is a dedicated Somatic Relationship Coach and Narcissistic Abuse™ specialist. With a passion for helping...

Send a text We all of moments of knowing - something just feels right, even when we can't explain why. And we have also had moments where we thought we knew something - only to find out we were oh so wrong! So how do we know when to trust our own inner knowing, our intuition and when we might be...well, for lack of a better way of saying it...bullsh*tting ourselves? Joining me for today'...

Send a text How often do you find yourself doing all the 'right' thing, the thing that everyone said were going to solve your 'problem' only to find it - it doesn't? Or maybe you finally found something and it worked - for a while, but now you're not sure why it doesn't anymore? And the only thing you can think of doing is doubling down. It's so easy to feel...

Send a text Life is complicated - how we contribute is complicated. Sometimes we don't fully understand all of the impact and implications of our contributions. But if you are looking for a podcast that simplifies it all and gives you all the answers then this a podcast for you! Joining me for today's conversation is the amazing Seonaid Lee! Seonaid (Shona), secular mystic/practical acad...

Send a text Very few of us get through life without having to face some type of hurt or disappointment, something that takes us into the waters of surrender. And Surrender...IS HARD!! So how do we do it? How do we let go when life hands you a blow that takes you to your knees? Joining me for that conversation are Keisha Greaves and Dr. Jeana Locke! Keisha is the CEO and Founder of Girls Chronicall...

Send a text We are all told that if we do the right thing we will get rewarded - that if we do the right thing it will feel good. But what happens when it doesn't? What happens when you follow all the rules but don't get the results? Sometimes it finally causes us to relook at how we've been functioning in the world and to take steps that finally lead us down the path that's ri...

Send a text What's the first thought that comes to your mind when you hear the word feminism? For some it's a battle cry, for some, it's home, for some, it's a dirty word. Whatever thoughts come to mind it can be hard at times to believe that in 2024 we still have to fight for equality between the sexes - and at times it can be easy to become disheartened.  But there is so much...

Send a text So much of our happiness is wrapped up in the relationships that we have, and our society will often prompt the idea that our relationships' biggest purpose is to bring us happiness - but is that true? Diving into this question with me today is Lilli Bewley. Lilli is a Dating Coach for Finding Love with over 10 years of experience in personal development.   She, herself, went from...

Send a text So many of us find ourselves in a supportive role to someone (or multiple someones) who is struggling - only to find the role completely draining. We can even find ourselves so invested in 'helping' that we cause more harm than help! So how do we support the people in our lives who are struggling without losing ourselves? And how do we make sure that what we are doing is supp...

Send a text Most of us don't like thinking about death - and we especially stay away from the thoughts of our own death. But what if you lived a life where you faced death every day? Where grief and loss were incorporated into everything you did?  Would a strange thing happen? Would you end up feeling more alive? Joining me for today's conversation are two people who have had very person...

Send a text Some of us have been on the personal development treadmill for years - constantly taking new courses, reading new books, listening to new podcasts, and going to new seminars. But how many of us actually feel any better? Could it be that there is a dark side to personal development that actually makes feeling better harder? Joining me for the conversation are Jolie Downs and Robin Thoma...

Send a text How often do you want to set a boundary, but you're worried it's selfish to do so? Or that you're going to come across as 'bitchy'? Too often we self-abandon, ignoring what we need because we are afraid of how it's going to look to others - or that somehow we are going to "do it wrong" - resulting in us feeling miserable and taken advantage of! S...

Send a text **Trigger Warning - this podcast contains a conversation about abortion. Please be thoughtful and compassionate towards yourself as you consider listening to it** Every day there are women wrestling with one of the hardest decisions we could ever be asked to make - is abortion the best option for me? And in today's climate - making that decision is only getting more difficult and...

Send a text Some of us have spent a lot of time trying to figure out who we are and what we are supposed to do with our lives - and sometimes the answers are surprisingly harder to find than we might think!  So how important is it really to find your 'true self' and your 'purpose'? Does it lead us to a utopia or is it just a waste of time and energy? Or is it something in betwe...

Send a text In our society we can often be hyper-focused on the individual - we tend to think in terms of I and not so much in terms of We.  Even in some of our spiritual communities, the tendency is more I than We.  And I know a common train of thought is that a healthy I makes a healthy We. But is that true? Some times the lack of progress in our society makes me have some doubts! Joining me for...

Send a text Sometimes growth leads you away from home - and it can be painful to feel like you are wandering around in the desert on your own - and it can make you doubt that your growth is beneficial! Many times in my own life I have thought - "Maybe this isn't worth it, maybe I should just stay in the box!" Maybe that feels relatable to you - the growth you experiencing has so muc...

Send a text Many of us beleive that we have an inner voice of truth inside of us. One that can give us direction, and can clue us into what is good for us. But most of us have no idea how it works, and even less of us have any idea how to find it! In today's conversation, we talk about intuition, how it is impacted by our identity and we dive into a few of the doubts that we have!  Joining me...

Send a text At times, it may seem like we are navigating two distinct worlds - one practical and grounded in logic, and cause and effect, and the other spiritual, shrouded in mystery, the unknown, and wonder. The challenge arises when these two worlds intersect, affecting both ourselves and our relationships with others. Today, we delve into the concept of embracing the "PRACTICAL WOO" -...

Send a text Today we dive into a conversation where we unravel all the mysteries of the universe while trying not to trip over our own enlightenment:) Join us as we chat about the difference between spirituality and religion and the impact they have had on our lives - both the positive and the negative!

Send a text When is the last time you really heard and responded to the messages your body is trying to send you? If you are anything like me it seems so much easier to just stay in your head - completely disconnected from your body, its sensations and feelings and needs. But living that way leaves us feeling frustrated and confused - often "a mile down a road we were never supposed to be on&...

Send a text Life can do its best to knock us down at times.  And when you are in the middle of the storm it can be hard to remember what the human spirit is capable of. That's why I love conversations like the one with today's podcast guest Olivia Cook. Her story reminds us that we are stronger, braver and more capable than we think we are! Olivia is a certified Transformational Success...

Send a text When is the last time you laughed so hard tears started streaming down your face? Or did something just for the pure enjoyment of it - no attachment to productivity, no need to recover from pure exhaustion (from the attachment to productivity lol) Most of us grow up and become the serious adults we promised we would never be? How the heck did that happen and what can we do about it? To...
