Episode 23 - Feeling "Poopeh" - Emergency Protocol

Emergency Protocol

Denise and Jackie discuss the “poopeh” incident, moving through uncertainty, and communicating their needs before an upcoming trip.

First, Jackie shares a stressful story about what should have been a nice Saturday cycle with her dog that turned out to be a “poopeh” nightmare. She reflects that while she wants to do as much with her aging dog as possible, she also needs to keep in mind the rock metaphor within her daily practice.

Recently up against a strong wave of uncertainty, Denise shares the book she turns to when she finds herself in a scarcity mindset to pry herself out. Time and time again, she has found that submerging herself in gratitude pulls her through the rocky moments. She also increases the number of meetings she attends and takes the time to put a foundation in place to remove the unknowns to be able to better interact with the upcoming thing that is causing her anxiety.

Lastly, Jackie and Denise discuss the different anxieties and uncertainties they have around an upcoming trip to Japan. While their concerns differ, communicating about them beforehand helps clear the air and their minds as they prepare for a new adventure.
