| 69. The Power of Forgiveness with Kris Ashley | 08 Aug 2024 | 00:40:50 | |
Let's dive in to this topic that can seem so heavy, but we all have to navigate at some point. Kristen and Kris Ashley discuss letting go for your own well being, forgiveness and the Law of Attraction. Takeaways: Forgiveness is not about excusing someone's behavior, but about letting go of anger and resentment for our own well-being. The law of attraction states that what we focus on, we bring into our reality. Our thoughts, beliefs, and emotions shape our reality and can influence the circumstances and people we attract. Taking responsibility for our own lives and beliefs is key to personal growth and transformation. Practical ways to forgive include visualization exercises, journaling, and releasing emotions through physical modalities. Changing our perspective and beliefs can lead to healing, growth, and the manifestation of our desires. Kris Ashley is a coach, author, speaker, and podcaster who has spent the past two decades immersed in the research, spiritual teachings, and practices she shares. Her book, Change Your Mind To Change Your Reality, has been endorsed by 3 experts from The Secret (Michael Beckwith, Bob Doyle, and Marci Shimoff), Anita Moorjani, John Gray, and many others in the spiritual and personal development space.

| 62. Manifesting Your Inner Desires with Stephanie Hickey | 20 Jun 2024 | 00:45:20 | |
Let's talk about sex... love and relationships. In this (spicy) episode we discuss how our desires (not only in sex, but in life) are like beacons for our life. We don't always have to answer the call of the desire- yet we get to choose what to do with it. But there's a lot of power in knowing what you want. These are messages for you about what lights you up at your very core. Stephanie addresses how women are often very much in 'to do' mode and more rarely in 'being' mode - this loses the softness we long for, the pace of life we long for. This is especially true for mothers and care-takers and we dive into how you can learn to shift into "being" mode which will recharge you in many ways. Stephanie Hickey is sex, love and relationship coach with a special interest in helping women take the necessary steps to take radical self-responsibility for their own pleasure, for the love they deserve, and in their relationships. She helps women create desire-led lives by guiding women through the journey of identifying and manifesting their inner desires by coaching them through a blend of scientific, mystical, rational and intuitive embodiment practices.

| 56. "Let Them" | 09 May 2024 | 00:14:26 | |
Let them... Let others be, do, act, think, feel- all on their own. When we release the illusion of control over other people, it’s really not about the other people it’s about us. I know I’m in a better place when I’m not trying to figure out what in the world is going on in the brains of other people and trying to anticipate their wants and their needs and what they’re going to say, and then trying to fix it. "Let Them" is a strategy popularized by coach/author/speaker Mel Robbins. I talk about how this has been used in my life, why its helpful and how you can incorporate "let them" into your daily life and relationships too.

| 54. People Pleasing & the Illusion of Control | 25 Apr 2024 | 00:20:28 | |
If you’re a people-pleaser or overthinker it’s likely your relationship to control needs some attention. Most likely it’s backwards: you probably expend too much time & energy trying to control other people, and too little energy taking responsibility for yourself. As (recovering) people pleasers, perfectionists or over-thinkers we have to learn what is in our control and what is not. Because when your relationship to control is backwards, you constantly feel like you’re the victim of others’ behavior. But instead of taking action to change your circumstances, you might simmer in resentment and righteously fantasize about how others “should be treating you differently.” Listen in to hear about how the illusion of controlling what you can't is disrupting peace, relationships and emotional health... and what you can do to feel empowered and in control again.

Do you have a fantasy of a different life you could or might have lived? Maybe it’s moving to a different city, staying in a marriage, or having children, and those experiences aren’t going to happen. Are you grieving that version of your life?

| 48. Boundaries vs. Avoidance | 06 Mar 2024 | 00:19:48 | |
Are you calling it a boundary, but really just avoiding a person or situation? This episode describes three ways people often deal with challenging people or situations. First- I’ve just decided I don’t want this person in my life. Second, I want this person in my life, I want to be able to interact with this person, but I need boundaries for myself. The third is one is to just avoid people/situations because we don’t want to do our own work, and we end up suppressing a lot of emotional turmoil and emotional work that would ultimately benefit us in our lives. Join me to hear the differences between boundaries and avoiding, and an exercise you can work through on your own.

| 40. No One Else "Makes" You Feel | 11 Jan 2024 | 00:11:17 | |
Did you grow up hearing (or saying) "don't make mommy mad," or "you made me so sad?" Or some phrase where someone else made you feel a certain way. It's pretty common-- but it's not true and not helpful. Your feelings come from how you interepret words and actions and the same is true for others. You are responsible for how you are feeling-- and that's a good thing. Because you have the ability to shift to different feelings then too. This is a tough concept for people pleasers-- who believe they make others feel a certain way and will turn themselves inside out trying to make others feel a certain way. Listen in for where this comes from, how you can begin owning your feelings and why this is a key awareness for shifting away from people pleasing thinking.

When it’s time to choose a resolution that will actually work, we need to use our values & priorities to guide that process. This is likely different from what you have tried before because normally we think of what we need to do better or how we need to be better and usually that means we’re actually navigating from lack, guilt or shame. When your goals and resolutions align with your values you are more likely to stick with it and actually make progress towards it or achieve it.

| 31. Clean and Dirty Pain | 02 Nov 2023 | 00:27:28 | |
Not all pain is processed and felt the same. Pain is a negative emotion we want to be able to feel. It's part of the spectrum of human experiences. Feeling pain honors us and others. It is the opposite of love, belonging, connection, and acceptance, which we also want to feel and so there is a balance. However, suffering is something we create with anger, shame, resistance, self loathing. Other negative emotions that stem from thoughts or beliefs that you or someone else or reality is bad, wrong and shouldnt be the way it is. Of course, how you think of the circumstances and events and people in your life is going to influence whether you feel the pain cleanly or if you are adding layers of suffering (dirty pain). Even if you aren't currently experiencing pain or grief, listen in for future reference or to better understand people in your life.

We make thousands of decisions every single day. Some are more important, some are made with lots of forethought, others are more reactionary... or even emotional. It's not a bad thing to have emotions factor into your decison making-- but do you even realize you are making an emotional decision? And, which emotion is guiding you? For many women- decisions are made based on whether or not they feel guilty for doing or not doing the thing. Decisons are made based on not wanting to be a bad person or disappointing others. Let's talk about when guilt and shame are driving your decision making process and what you can do about recalibrating your emotional compass. Related Episodes: 8.
