27 Jul 202318. Understanding Passive Aggressive Behaviors 00:14:21

When people display passive aggressive behaviors it’s often because it’s been unacceptable to express certain kinds of feelings- like anger, resentment, frustration. They may have had a parent or adult who didn’t hear their needs or their needs didn’t count.


Passive aggression is a learned pattern of being unassertive as a coping strategy for not being able to express your own feelings. As females somewhere along the line you likely learned girls should be accommodating, non confrontational, take care of others and don’t hurt their feelings... so emotions get stuffed down and ignored... until they can't be ignored any longer.

It’s hard to know where kindness ends and people pleasing beings… especially if you’ve never known differently.

And it's a very hard habit to break or change because of how we evolved as humans and how we have been socialized as women. Yet, it's not impossible make sustainable, conscious choices that will break the people pleasing patterns.

08 Aug 202469. The Power of Forgiveness with Kris Ashley00:40:50

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.

22 Jun 202314. Why You Need Mental Flexibility00:22:37

Most of us are not changeable in our thoughts.  We are rigid, attached to our thinking. Mental flexibility is the capacity, skill of training your brain to be open to thoughts, ideas and perspectives.

Like most things in life, this is easier said than done. What generally happens is a new thought is introduced - cognitive dissonance.  

This is mental tension caused by conflict of two different ideas or thoughts that contradict each other. We often deal with this by dismissing the new conflicting idea and doubling down on belief in the first area.

When you’re mentally flexible, you have the ability to find more paths to a solution, to be open to new ideas, to be accepting of what is even when you don’t like it. You can see things from multiple perspectives.  On the other hand, if you have rigid thinking, you may struggle with creativity, problem solving, conflict resolution and loving and accepting people- including yourself.

01 Jun 202311. Good AND Bad 00:19:49

The human experience is more than just being happy... it's feeling Good AND Bad.

It’s easy to believe the either/or mentality.  It’s this or that.  Good or Bad--  especially with feelings many are led to think there are ways we should feel and feelings that are bad or not as worthwhile. 

However, all feelings have a purpose and “just wanting to be happy” simply isn't is not feasible and will even create inner turmoil by not being able to reach this unattainable standard. 

Listen for insight to embrace the good and bad feelings– and embrace the full human experience.

22 Mar 20231. Thoughts Are Not Facts00:18:33

"Just because you think it doesn't mean that it's true."   Thoughts are sentences in our mind- but that doesn't make them true or helpful or the only thing that is possible.  Listen in as I talk about how I came to discover mindset coaching and the power of thoughtwork.

26 Oct 202330. When Guilt Is Guiding Your Decisions00:20:04

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.

25 Apr 202454. People Pleasing & the Illusion of Control00:20:28

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.

02 Nov 202331. Clean and Dirty Pain 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.

06 Mar 202448. Boundaries vs. Avoidance00:19:48

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.

Much of what we think and say are thoughts and stories --not the neutral circumstances.

When you start looking at events, what people say, how people act more neutrally- your brain has the opportunity to calm down.  You gain authority and some power in your life,  when you start to take all of these circumstances that are genuinely neutral and interpret them in a way that serves you and the world.

Job searching is a common concern, and it's important to take small steps and apply for positions even if you don't meet all the qualifications.

Building confidence involves reframing rejection as a learning experience and telling a compelling story about career transitions.

13 Apr 20234. It's Not You, It's Me.00:17:34

We have it so mixed up with feelings.  So many of us are taught, "They make me…" and we blame others for how we feel.

We don’t ever really learn how to identify feelings.   We think people are wrong to feel certain ways in certain situations. We don’t know what to do with the feelings we do have. We categorize half of our emotions as "bad" even though they are part of the normal human experience.

In this episode, I’m pulling the curtain back on feelings… including where they come from, what do do with them, and how owning your feelings will improve your relationships, and perhaps release some people pleasing tendencies too.


25 May 202310. Boundaries00:20:51

Personal boundaries essentially protect your physical and emotional space, and help keep you safe.  Boundaries are healthy when you take responsibility for your own actions and wellbeing, and refrain from taking responsibility for the actions or wellbeing of other people.

At this point, you may not know what your boundaries are or what they should be.  In that case, it’s hard to even recognize what is yours versus someone else’s...   It’s hard to protect your time, energy, your emotional and physical health if you don’t know where you end and someone else begins.

Listen for simple steps you can take to help you determine if you need a more boundaries and how to set them... without it causing even more stress for you.

11 Jan 202440. No One Else "Makes" You Feel 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.

It's common to use yourself, your beliefs, your perspective as the reference point to judge others' behaviors.

30 May 202459. Optimizing your Hormones with Tasha Stevens00:46:44

For women, our 28-day cycle and hormone fluctuations influence everything from energy levels, metabolism, productivity, hunger levels, ability to workout, and social desires. Traditional "health" culture can perpetuate the perfectionist mindset because we feel we have to be the same, do the same, each and every day. However, when we optimize our hormone cycle and learn how to truly nourish our body in a way that supports its needs each day we not only see our health transform but break away from that pressure to be "perfect" to get results.


In this episode:

What is normal?

Understanding symptoms

Estrogen dominence

High Cortisol

Small additions to diet & routine for big impact

Tasha Stevens is a Integrative Clinical Nutritionist, B.S., CPT, Pilates Instructor, and Founder of Happy Hormone Health. Living with 6 autoimmune diseases, for years she struggled with symptoms that controlled her life and found there was little to no support from her doctors. By addressing the root cause of her system disruption, her life transformed. She has coached 2000 women in reclaiming their energy, living symptom-free, and transforming their health through hormone balance nutrition. www.happyhormonehealthllc.com

09 May 202456. "Let Them"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.

14 Dec 202337. Somatic Practices to Rewire Your Nervous System with Jill Howell01:04:23

Listen as Jill and I talk about how stored emotions may result in a dysregulated nervous system, what that means, and how to release some of the stored emotions-- even from your childhood. Jill even leads me through a release session.

30 Mar 20232. It's Not Supposed to Be Like This00:17:51

It's a common thought about other people, situations, or even yourself. Underneath the unfairness of how it's supposed to be are thoughts about how you think it should be.

The problem is the word "should" has the power to tear down people, relationships and dreams. Thinking that something SHOULD be a certain way is setting you up for frustration, disappointment, judgement, maybe even resentment or bitterness.
Because when you think it SHOULD be a certain way… it’s your thinking. It’s not a fact. It’s not necessarily true. It’s a thought.
And other people aren’t you and have their own thinking. Likely their own shoulds.
Should thinking keeps your mind closed to possibilities, opportunities or creativity.
It can keep you locked in negative communication patterns.

Listen in to learn how you can shift out of these patterns.

22 Nov 202334. Wanting Others to Change00:16:14

When other people need to change...

What do you do when other people need to change- but they aren't doing it?

You can:

-get angry and yell at them

-nag and whine

-talk about them to other people

-blame them for your feelings

OR you can use the control and influence you do have for a more productive, long term resolution.

29 Feb 202447. Less Stress in the Kitchen with Kathy Davis00:36:36

Cooking and eating are daily tasks-- but not always enjoyable for all, and can even be stressful for some (Me!)

In this episode, we chat about a 4 step meal planning process to be more intentional and have less stress with meal prepping, planning and cooking. We also dive into incorporating more plants into your meals-- even with other picky eaters.

Kathy Davis is a plant-based lifestyle and mindset coach, a Meal Planning Expert, the CEO of VegInspired, and the author of three cookbooks and a co-author of one personal development book.

Kathy is on a mission to educate, inspire, and empower others about the power of plant-based eating in living thriving and successful lives. She operates on two primary mottos: 1) Eat More Plants and 2) Intention over Perfection.


Kathy has been eating and creating vegan meals for more than nine years. Over the past 4 years, she shifted her daily habits to follow a whole-food, plant-based lifestyle. She experienced amazing results: renewed energy, 50-pound weight loss and maintenance, a newfound sense of joy, and a healthier mind and body! One tool that she used consistently to make plant-based eating a sustainable way of living was meal planning. She founded the Meal Plan Accountability Club to help others become efficient and effective meal planners.


Kathy is dedicated to providing women (and men) with the resources to Eat More Plants. She is eager to guide others on their journey so that they can make a more significant impact in the world.

24 Oct 202480. Who Not How with Stephanie Ross 00:31:06

The concept of 'who, not how' emphasizes the importance of finding the right people to help you achieve your goals instead of trying to do everything yourself.

Stephanie Ross, an entrepreneur and business mentor, and Kristen discuss the concept of 'who, not how.' The idea comes from the book 'Who Not How' by Dan Sullivan and emphasizes the importance of finding the right people to help you achieve your goals instead spinning in indecisions or trying to do everything yourself.

  • This concept applies not only to business but also to personal life, and can be implemented by hiring interns, event planners, or other experts to assist with tasks.
  • Delegating tasks and outsourcing can be challenging, but it is important to consider the cost-benefit analysis and the value of your time.
  • Intentional connections and collaboration are key to implementing 'who, not how' and can lead to positive ripple effects in all areas of life.
  • Reflect on who you need in your life and what is stopping you from connecting with them.

Takeaways:

Having a concrete understanding of oneself and setting realistic goals is crucial for successful weight loss.

Addressing the emotional component of eating involves identifying the underlying need that food is fulfilling.

Tactics like journaling, pre-planning meals, and creating a space between the urge and action can develop mindfulness and intentionality.

20 Jul 202317. Generous Assumptions00:18:46

The concept of generous assumptions has been popularized by Dr. Brene Brown. Generous assumptions force us to recognize and make allowances for the unknown circumstances of others. According to Brown, the assumption of positive intent “means that we will extend the most generous interpretation possible to the intentions, words, and actions of others.”So here’s the question: Do you believe other people are doing the best they can? Listen in to hear why this idea benefits your wellbeing-- and some tips for how to let go of the idea that others should be trying harder or doing better.

06 Apr 2023Attention Audit00:14:18

Do you feel like you are being pulled in so many directions there isn't time for what you want and need?  Do you feel unfocused and scattered?

This is a pretty typical experience unfortunately, especially for busy, working women.  The good news is you don't have to continue this pattern.  

In this episode I share a process for you to audit how you spend your time and energy, both in your personal and professional lives.  With the audit you will notice where you can be more efficent, what isn't serving you anymore, and how to better align your attention to your priorities.  

28 Dec 202338. Values Based Goals & Resolutions00:17:30

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.  Listen to this episode for a new way to choose and plan for a successful New Year’s Resolution, or any goal.

20 Jun 202462. Manifesting Your Inner Desires with Stephanie Hickey00:45:20

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. Learn more about Stephanie: www.wonderlovecoaching.com
