6h ago37:28

37:28

One of the uncomfortable truths about human beings is that telling the truth and saying what's real is very difficult.

Reparent Yourself: How to Become Your Own Source of Love and Approval 41:44

5h ago41:44

41:44

There’s a reason why it’s so hard to silence or ignore our inner critic. It’s the same reason why we doubt our own experiences and body wisdom. It’s also why we often feel like in order to be lovable we need to do more instead of just being ourselves. Childhood is our most sensitive phase. We’re like sponges soaking up everything around us with no …

6 Amazing Insights That Prove Your Body Is Smarter Than Your Brain 58:54

22d ago58:54

58:54

Our culture has taught us to put an emphasis on and trust only in the information we get from our brains.

1:10:10

In today’s age, it can feel like every day we hear about how our political leaders and media institutions pray on fear.

How to Build Your Inner House of Happiness w/ Marci Shimoff 40:38

2M ago40:38

40:38

Recent stats show only 20% of women say they are truly happy, so it’s clear that we’re in the middle of a huge unhappiness epidemic.

In order to make happiness ha…

3M ago1:18:07

1:18:07

Fear is a familiar part of most of our lives, from being afraid of the dark or dreading public speaking, to possibly experiencing life-threatening situations where our sense of safety is challenged and even taken away.

Intuition is something every single human being has access to. That wise and timely inner voice that seems to drop information from nowhere and *just knows* something we don’t.

How to Become an Active Participant in Creating Your Health w/ Dr. Mary Pardee 38:59

3M ago38:59

38:59

In our society, we treat our body like machines. We push them hard and only pay attention to them when they break down instead of preventing the breakdown in the first place.

3M ago30:49

30:49

Words have so much power, not just in the definition but also in the force behind them. Some of the worst things we say are to ourselves, and we often don’t even know it’s happening.

3M ago35:38

35:38

Whenever we make a commitment, set an intention or create an affirmation, we often need a little reminding, and words do that so effectively.

Our bodies are the vessels we occupy from the start of our lives, but so many of us feel disconnected in this home we have within ourselves.

When It’s Not a Whole Body Yes: How to Locate Yourself and Make a Choice 35:49

4M ago35:49

35:49

You’ve likely heard about the “whole body yes” and “whole body no”, and maybe even practiced using these to make your decision-making process a little easier. But choosing is really hard when we don’t feel that nudge from our body wisdom, and we just feel “meh” about the whole thing. When it’s not a definite yes or no, we’re stuck in limbo, and tha…

Making Friends with Your Feelings: The New Way of Leadership w/Diana Chapman 45:20

4M ago45:20

45:20

The old way of showing up to work meant shoving our emotions away, not being vulnerable and putting on a facade of confidence, no matter what. Admitting you were afraid, unsure or overwhelmed? That was an absolute no-no. The problem is, this also meant we were showing up without a lot of the intelligence we actually need to have emotionally healthy…

You Are the Canvas: How to Dress for Self-Expression 40:37

5M ago40:37

40:37

Don’t mix prints, you’ll stand out too much. Don’t wear horizontal stripes, it makes you look wider. Wear what looks good, even if it doesn’t feel good. Behind every woman is a rigid set of fashion rules that stifles our expression, creativity and keeps us from accessing the play that comes with fashion. What if we took the inside out approach to f…

Hero-ing is Hurting You: How to Shift Into Your Own Genius 34:35

5M ago34:35

34:35

Seeking the approval of others, helping people without being asked, putting famous people on a pedestal. These behaviors might seem completely unrelated, but they are symptoms of the same thing - hero-ing. Anytime we’re not acting from our own inner value, we’re relinquishing our power to an external source, which is dangerous. Hero-ing ourselves, …

Let Yourself Be Visible: The Journey From Ghostwriter to Author 49:03

6M ago49:03

49:03

The shift from side hustle to entrepreneur, ghostwriter to author is in many ways, a shift from self-imposed obscurity to visibility and standing in our own worth.

1:10:00

How many of you can relate to that internal voice that tells you that you're not doing something right, you’re not good enough, or that you’re an imposter?

Criticism is Always Destructive: A Kinder Way to Unleash Genius 33:22

6M ago33:22

33:22

Take criticism, they say…it will be good for you, they say. Our culture has led us to believe that criticism is the price we pay for genius and that it’s the only way to learn what we need in order to be great. There’s one problem though: no one learns and improves when they’re in fight mode. We can’t access flow or genius when we’re frozen up - it…

How to Experience The Nourishment of Your Inner Landscape 36:25

6M ago36:25

36:25

Connection is the ultimate antidote to loneliness and addiction, but in our world, it eludes so many.

We want to get our true feelings acro…

Massive Transformative Purpose (w/ Aldo Civico) 1:18:25

6M ago1:18:25

1:18:25

The notion of having a purpose is so prevalent today that it borders on being construed as trite.

We are joined today by global leadership authority, anthropologist, and conflict re…

Money Follows Energy: The Intersection Between Impact and Wealth 44:33

6M ago44:33

44:33

When it comes to wealth, it seems like there are two camps our society tends to put people in: those who make an impact doing what they love, but don’t make a lot of money, or, those who make a lot of money, but don’t make an impact and hate what they do. It’s easy to get caught up in the paradigm that if you’re trying to earn money and work in you…

Photography can be used in many ways, but in its most magical form, it can formulate a different lens through which we can see ourselves.

1:17:41

We sometimes sense emotions or thoughts that have been buried into our consciousness, and might be hurting us from inside. We lean on tools like journaling and talk therapy to help bring those out.

How to Feel Happiness in the Face of Collective Sorrow 35:11

7M ago35:11

35:11

When the world is shaking and there seems to be suffering everywhere we look, it’s really easy to sink, to think “what’s the use” and shut ourselves off from joy and beauty. Experiencing our aliveness is the act of balancing the awful with the awesome, and learning to let different feelings flow through us. Our emotions come from one faucet, we can…

The Fun Habit: Pursuing Joy and Wonder (w/ Mike Rucker) 1:16:05

7M ago1:16:05

1:16:05

In the “always on” culture of today, fun can often be viewed as a sign of not being serious enough, an indulgence that takes away from our productive lives. Or worse yet, even if we value fun, it can elude us as we either just forget to have fun, or we just feel that we can’t escape the tide of day to day life. Today we’re joined by Organizational …

Ever noticed how our bodies are these incredible, self-sufficient chemists? Adrenaline, our homemade super drug, rushes in when urgent demands and life's drama unfold.

Play at Work: How to Spend More Time in Your Zone of Genius w/Tina Scala 43:59

8M ago43:59

43:59

When we’re squarely in our Zone of Genius, work doesn’t feel like work. It feels like play, flow, ease; we’re plugged directly into Source. Unfortunately, today’s world of work isn’t about play. It’s all process and productivity, “we’re doing serious, important work here, there’s no room for fun.” If it feels too easy, we must not be doing anything…

Being the Hero Actually Isn't a Good Thing: How to Give Unselfishly 40:47

8M ago40:47

40:47

Being a hero is celebrated and even coveted in our culture, but if we dig into it, it’s actually not a positive thing. Humans have this magnificent impulse to share and give - the art of generosity.
