The New Sensitive

Today I'm coming to you outside of my regular Sunday routine to share something special with you: the first two modules of my new online course, An Introduction to Intentional Living. I wanted to give you some insights into how this course is going to unfold, what you'll learn, and all the things I'll be talking about. These modules go over: what is intentional living, and the first...

Today I'm calling ya out. I'm discussing the 8 kinds of people who believe that they can't change their lives. Everybody from the person who engages in the "rescue fantasy," to the person who has forgotten the skill of dreaming big, and more, I detail the blockers many of us have learned or taken on that are simply excuses that allow us to continue to live small or in fear...

I'm here today to talk about a topic I know we are all grappling with: fear. I used to be a terrified person. I let fear rule and run my life, without even realizing that's what I was doing. Thanks to my personal development, mindfulness practices, and other strategies I used, I'm now able to experience fear, even have compassion for it, but not let it be the decision-maker in my li...

Today I’m so excited to have on to the Sunday Soother podcast one of my internet girl crushes - Sarah Von Bargen of YesAndYes.org . Sarah is a writer and educator who helps her audience spend their time, money, and energy on purpose. In a time today when many of us are probably reflecting on what is necessary in our lives and what is not, what makes us happy and what doesn’t, and how we want to sp...

Hey everybody, how are you doing? I'm having back on Shani Silver so she and I can talk today about how to stay the hell home and take care of yourself while doing so.

What happens if you’re in a long-term corporate career, you’re super successful, but you’re burned the hell out, and you dream of leaving to do … uh… something, anything else?   Sara Brown did this. She is a Sunday Soother reader who emailed me a few months ago to say my journey of leaving my corporate career to start my own thing — and all my reflection along the way — resonated with her. After a...

Hey guys, I've been so frustrated with how I see so much of the Coronavirus' effects playing out in the modern workforce and leadership that I recorded a podcast about how to be a true, humane leader and manager in these times. Much like other structural aspects of society that have been broken for a very long time, the current chaos is exposing flaws in the way the corporate world is st...

This week, I get on my soapbox and talk about one of my personal passions: why I think intentional self-discovery helps fuel nourishing self-care, which then allows us to show up to create the world that we believe we need. I connect self-knowledge to self-nourishment and why that matters more now than ever for us to be able to show up in the ways that are important. If we can't create our ow...

"Most of us know what an unhappy relationship with food feels like. We may feel frustrated or annoyed or out-of-control or embarrassed or secretive. But what causes that unhappy relationship?" That's the question posed -- and answered! -- by life coach Katie Seaver, who joins me on the podcast today for a wide-ranging conversation about our relationships to eating, dieting, body ima...

Earlier this week I did a Facebook Live breaking down common terms you might hear as you delve into your own self help and awakening journeys, and I'm bringing it to you on this podcast too. I define everything from what a boundary looks like, to what codependency means, to what an inner child is and why we all have one, to talking about shadow work and much more. I found when I started my ow...

I recently had a client write to me about all the shame she felt around the amount of support she needed in her life. She says she feels she needs extra support; feels shame around the amount of support she hires and pays for; and wonders if this all means she can't trust herself. Going off of this topic, I talk about the difference between getting nourishing support and not trusting yourself...

Valentine's Day is over but I'm still talking all about self-compassion and self-love on today's episode of the Sunday Soother. What is self-compassion? How is it different from self-indulgence? Why can it actually -- gasp -- make you MORE motivated to do things instead of letting yourself off the hook? And instructions on creating a "self-compassion mantra." The Sunday So...

It's Valentine's Day and I felt called to record a special bonus episode on my love and dating journey -- and it's been A JOURNEY in all senses of the word. I talk about my codependent patterns, my fear of abandonment, recognizing I was dealing with low self-worth in relationships, the shame I felt around being single, and the tools I used to move past it. The Sunday Soother is a sp...

I turned 40 -- and wrote 40 lessons from this side of the hill!

I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that people are lacking a sense of the spiritual or mystical or meaning or structure in their lives today — something that the function of organized religion used to provide in society. But organized religion isn’t really a safe space for many people to turn these days — or a space where atheists or people who don’t overall believe in the common narrative of a B...

"I set out to change the societal view of singlehood." "Dating apps can be a form of self-harm." "The biggest thing I have manifested is self-worth." These are the gems that came out of my podcast interview today with Shani Silver, a writer and essayist who is creating conversations about how society views singledom, and how we can change it. Shani and I get deep into...
