The Self Awareness Journey Podcast

Thank you so very much everyone! After more than five years, we’ve decided to hang up our mics in pursuit of new art. We love you and miss you already! (You may see us around again soon.) 😊

We all expand or shrink to match the environment in which we dwell. But how consciously aware of this are we?

In a world full of hard news and harder realities, let’s reflect back on some of our favorite summer moments!

How to confront conflict - We all have our own relationship with conflict, whether we are starting it, or pulled into it.  Does our personality impact how we prepare and move through conflict? Are there ways we can improve our handling of conflict?

Productivity v Progress: Staying busy is a wonderful way to distract ourselves from what we actually should be working on.  But is distraction ever a part of our creation process? 

In our country, there are few Rites of Passage children experience, and a myriad of social cues that act like a Rite of Passage.  Being involved in these milestones varies depending on which role you play in that child’s life.

Creating and keeping personal boundaries is a tough practice. Especially if those boundaries impact important people in our lives. Yet, boundaries can actually improve a relationship rather than make it harder.  What are your personal boundaries?

Have you ever noticed that it’s easier to process important feelings and ideas while you’re moving about and talking, rather than sitting still?

Campfires, fresh laundry, lakes, hot cookies, fresh asphalt, burnt toast.  Smells evoke strong memories; what are your deepest smell connections?

Are you someone that apologizes at the drop of a hat, or are you someone that has a difficult time saying you’re sorry? How do personality traits impact your relationship with apologies?

We all have them. People that can be mean, unpredictable, unpleasant, and just not fun. Yet, they are in our lives to stay. We can’t dump everyone that causes us suffering. How can we better manage these long term relationships?

Measured in a scale, having too much or not enough adaptability can be tough on a person. How do you know when it’s time to dial yours up or down?

Why do we swear? And where did swearing even come from? Is it helpful, or harmful? And why do some swear words stay in our vernacular while others disappear being replaced by new and updated language?

It’s true that age IS just a number. However sometimes our mental, emotional and physical bodies DO decide how we experience the world. Either in the moment at hand or from here on out. How do you manage your aging process?

Fantasizing is often a healthy escape to mundane or difficult times. Yet it can take some practice to decide how and when to do it. When do you escape to fun thoughts?

Many people think of coaching as a choice made if things aren’t going well. However, there are many times in life when having a coach can help us reach our goals, faster, and more efficiently. Have you ever used a coach? 

Planning is a common activity for many of the things we do in our lives. But it doesn’t mean that everyone likes to plan. Which side of the fence are you on?

From the time we are consciously aware of the people we are around, we learn to behave in a way that helps us fit in. But at some point, that doesn’t feel right or good. How can we tell when it’s time to recalibrate?

We all have things in our lives that set us off, maybe even push us to our worst places.  So how can we work with, and ultimately release their hold on us?

Being in the flow helps you get a lot more done. It can also help you be comfortable doing nothing but feeling good. So, how do you get there?

What parts of building consensus should you pay attention to? Is building consensus the same thing as winning?

Stories we tell ourselves are often rooted in the need to provide ourselves safety, context and motivation.  Yet, sometimes the stories we tell ourselves create blocks or prevent us from growing and changing.
