Another Beautiful Life

Many times we go about our days with our head down, focused on our task at hand or buried in the depths of our own brokenness that we can't even see past ourselves to others. But what if we were able to change the world by leaving drops of joy behind us? There is a caveat, though: You can't give what you don't have.Today Tricia shares how she went from being shut down in her grief and old wounds to being free to change other people's lives just by sharing joy. Resources Mentioned:·       The podcast Road Map has grouped like topics together.

What are your “default” thoughts? What are your “default” actions? Are you pleased with either of these? Do you wish you would think more positively and act more Christlike? Would you like that to be your “default”? Change is possible but it's going to take practice, practice, practice. That's because deep neural ruts and connections have been formed in our brains by our past “default.” Today we discuss how to make those changes we so desperately need and want by working with the brain's natural God-given design. The brain is designed to eliminate unnecessary connections and strengthen important ones. This means we have the ability to let go of negative thoughts, painful memories, and lie-based beliefs—while reinforcing faith, peace, and truth.I'll give you three areas to focus on to begin to make that change: pruning, feeding and fasting, and sleep.Resources Mentioned:·       For more tools, questions for reflection, and resources to help you on your journey, download the Listener's Guide for this episode: Scriptures Mentioned:·       Colossians 3:2, Romans 8:11, Romans 12:2, 2 Corinthians 10:5, John 15:2Are you wondering how Life Coaching works?

Metacognition is what sets human brains apart from all other created beings'. It's the ability to think about what we're thinking about. Meta. When was the last time you remember actively aware and thinking about what you were thinking in the moment when your emotional brain was spinning out of control? When we're thinking about what we're thinking about, we're able to make adaptive changes that make our lives enriched and feel more abundant and purposeful. Today we talk about actively engaging in this beautiful God-given gift – metacognition. Resources Mentioned:·       For more tools, questions for reflection, and resources to help you on your journey, download the Listener's Guide for this episode: Scriptures Mentioned:·       Proverbs 16:18, John 10:10, 1 Corinthians 11:28, 2 Corinthians 13:5, Galatian 6:4, Hebrews 12:1, Psalm 42:11Are you wondering how Life Coaching works?

“Pura Vida” encapsulates how Costa Ricans cherish life's simplest pleasures and find joy in the little things. “Pura Vida” – living in simplicity, in a quiet, calm pace of life – creates lower stress, lower blood pressure, lower chances of heart disease, and contributes to living longer. “Pura Vida” is a way of life that lures you in and invites you savor its unhurried pace. It is an intentional “less is more” mindset, creating white space to relax, reflect, and reconnect with God. In this episode, we discuss ways to live “Pura Vida.” Resources Mentioned:-              Reinvent Podcast with host, Sari Kimbell: Episode 88 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/reinvent/id1677582315?i=1000692583965-              Episode 4 – Now, This is the Good Life https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/another-beautiful-life/id1538311547?i=1000497181342-              Friends of Big Bear Valley Bald Eagles, Jackie & Shadow on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/live/LCGYWfbyBWc?si=JeKP8xb5bVkB3Q92For more tools, questions for reflection, and resources to help you on your journey, download the Listener's Guide for this episode: https://www.triciazody.com/guideAre you wondering how Life Coaching works?

God is calling us into a place of continual, satisfying, unhurried rest in Him. To slow down. To make quiet and purposeful space. But this is counter cultural and flies in the face of everything we believe makes us valuable and worthwhile. The result is busy, frantic, unsettled lives, striving for something more. That “more” is found when we heed God's call to “Rest, My Beloved.”Resources Mentioned:·       Another Beautiful Life: A Christian's Journey to Finding Peace and Healing in Brokenness by Tricia Zody https://a.co/d/hoPKsBO on Amazon·       Soul Keeping by John Ortberg·       The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer·       For more tools, questions for reflection, and resources to help you on your journey, download the Listener's Guide for this episode: https://www.triciazody.com/guideScriptures Mentioned:·       Romans 12:2Are you wondering how Life Coaching works?

Not every day is going to be great. We're not promised a life without struggles. In fact, before Jesus left this earth, He told us we were going to have troubles – John 16:33.

In fact, there are 4 steps that can get you back to peace and moving forward.Today, I want to take you behind the scenes of my own struggles these past few days and show you how I used the very tools I teach you to shift my thinking, regulate my emotions, and anchor myself in God's truth. Resources Mentioned:·       Another Beautiful Life: A Christian's Journey to Finding Peace and Healing in Brokenness by Tricia Zody https://a.co/d/hoPKsBO on Amazon·       Episode 171 – Tools For Emotional Overwhelm·       Episode 179 - Motivation·       Talking Back by Evagrius of Pontus on Amazon·       For more tools, questions for reflection, and resources to help you on your journey, download the Listener's Guide for this episode: https://www.triciazody.com/guideScriptures Mentioned:·       John 16:33, John 14:27, James 1:2, 2 Corinthians 10:5, Isaiah 55:11, Romans 8:28, Psalm 37:23, Ephesians 2:10 Are you wondering how Life Coaching works?

Have you ever looked in the mirror and not recognized yourself? You are just not “you” anymore. In an effort to get back to someone you recognize, you may even say, “I just want to be ‘me' again.”Unfortunately, or fortunately, you will never be able to go back to an old version of “you” again. That's because your brain is changing each and every day with every single experience you have. Every day you are different.

January is when most people regularly take an assessment of their life and reset. A life-assessment is eye-opening for so many. Mainly because most people don't do this each year. They just roll into the next year, carrying in old baggage not realizing they have the power to leave it at the door. Most people also start the year feeling some dread because they don't know that they have so much more power to change their life, and they've just been living at the effect of their default brain all this time. Today I'm going to take you – step by step - through the Life Assessment exercise, assessing 12 specific areas, so you can begin to change your life to live more fully and abundantly in 2025. Are you wondering how Life Coaching works?

Last week I was talking about the power of thankfulness and the impact it has on our life – physically, relationally, emotionally, and spiritually. I mentioned the Apostle Paul as a beautiful example of one who continuously gave thanks to God right in the middle of his suffering, and the supernatural results he experienced because of that thankfulness.  He was bound with chains in a dark prison cell. And he began to sing songs of worship to God. Boy, how I would have loved to have heard those songs. Wouldn't you? Regardless of his present circumstances, Paul was expressing his trust and faith in an awesome and worship-worthy God. When you are suffering, it may be hard to find your “thankfulness.” And you might ask, “why on earth do I even need to? Can't I just have a minute here to be really sad?” Well, yes. Do that. But don't stay stuck there.  Thankfulness lowers feelings of depression and anxiety, bolsters resiliency, fosters higher self-esteem, and supports physical health and well-being. Are you wondering how Life Coaching works?

When we're comfortable, we don't seem to have this desperate need of God. But when we're in the valley, when things aren't going well, that's when we recognize our desperate need to depend upon God.People who have been through it, people who have had their worlds turned upside down, heart shattered in a thousand pieces, people who have hit rock-bottom; these people know a level of dependence on God that most people will never know. Is that you, friend?Total dependence on God is a new level of faith that allows us to “stay calm, faithful, and unconfused while in the middle of the turmoil of life” (Oswald Chambers). But how do we get there? Can we get to that level of dependence before we ever experience the turmoil of life? God is inviting us to learn to rest in Him and find Him as our benevolent, Sovereign, Rescuer as we become more and more aware of our need of Him in our life. Are you wondering how Life Coaching works?

You can radically change your daily life by doing one thing every day. Pre-framing your experiences. Imagine being able to be at peace and stay calm even if your contentious and hot-headed boss is yelling at you. Imagine driving to work in bumper-to-bumper traffic while the other drivers beside you are texting on their phone, reading a book, or honking and cutting you off, but you just smile and let them, unfazed.  The way you experience your everyday life - every little thing in it from doing laundry, to dealing with the carpool pick up line, to interactions with difficult people – is up to you and in your power to change.   Let me show you how to pre-frame your stories and radically change your life. Are you wondering how Life Coaching works?

With every circumstance and experience you've ever had – things in your past and in your present - you have created perceptions and stories around each of those experiences simply based on the way your brain functions.Those stories have formed who you are today – how you think, how you act or behave, what you believe, how regulated your emotions are… or are not. We are connected to those experiences through thoughts and emotions in our brain. Psychologists call this Neuro-association. It is critical to discover what we are connected to and disconnected from so we can see how they're impacting our life right now. Are you wondering how Life Coaching works?

I've had bunion surgery recently and now I've got a limp when I walk. If I don't go to physical therapy, my toes could get stuck in their frozen position and leave me with a limp for the rest of my life. But physical therapy is hard and painful. And sometimes it makes me cry. I've discovered this is the perfect analogy for our lives that are full of wounds from our past or present that's creating a metaphorical limp – anxiety, irrational fear, hopelessness, etc. If we don't get the healing mentally and emotionally, we will most certainly have that limp for the rest of our lives.

It's so easy for us to get caught in the trap of thinking that something in our life is not enough. Not enough time, not enough money, not enough love, not enough friendship connections, not enough purpose, not enough family time, not enough recreation or rest. Not enough.  Unfortunately, “not enough” in one area permeates all the other areas and can make us discontented and miserable. We can't see another perspective. We can't see the abundance that's right there. Today is part one of how to recognize the message of “not enough” in your life and what to do about it.  Are you wondering how Life Coaching works?

Do you remember hearing, “Treat others the way you want to be treated”? That's the Golden Rule. But how often do we actually do that? What's keeping us from doing it?Every action that we take, thought that we think, or word that we speak comes directly from what we believe. Today, I'm “airing my dirty laundry” and telling on myself and my shortcomings. But I'm also sharing what I was finally able to see as my belief system that seriously needed changing that allowed me to “do right” and treat others the way I wanted to be treated.

I know, you can't actually hold your breath for six years. But metaphorically, apparently you can and not even know it. That is exactly my felt experience these past 6 to 8 weeks. And I didn't realize that I'd been holding my breath until I exhaled.What did “holding my breath” actually look like?  Disassociation - an involuntary survival instinct that helps protect us from mental and physical pain. The brain and body cannot handle processing all that needs to be processed when you've experienced trauma. So, it waits until it's safe enough to do so. And it “exhales.” And when it decides to exhale, the processing begins. But you may not even be consciously aware of what's going on. The subconscious is driving all of it. This episode focuses on the continuation of healing after trauma.  Are you wondering how Life Coaching works? Would you like a free, 30-minute session?

This is the last of the Rewind series where I'm bringing back the most downloaded and requested podcast episodes. This week's Rewind – episode 146 – is The Blame Game.The Blame Game is one game that the more you play, the more you lose. Blaming others is a common human behavior where individuals attribute their problems, mistakes, or failures to other people rather than taking responsibility themselves. Blame is altogether negative and unproductive. It leads to bitterness, resentment, and fracture relationships. Blaming others can also suck you into a vortex of negative behavior and attitudes where you become trapped in victim mentality. And when you feel like a victim, you feel powerless and unable to change your life. Today I talk about how to quit the The Blame Game so you can break free from this destructive cycle and grow emotionally, as well as in your faith. Then you'll begin to really love the life you're living. Now, that's a winning game!Are you wondering how Life Coaching works? Would you like a free, 30-minute session?

This is the third of the Rewind series where I'll be bringing back the most downloaded and requested podcast episodes. Grief is something that we all experience if we have lost anything in our lives that's of real significance to us. And that's not limited to the death of a person. Grief comes when we've experienced a loss of any kind. Whether that's something or someone.  But grief can feel like a gremlin or a monster that is hunting us down that will kill us; or at the very least, send us into deep depression and ruin our lives. We fear grief. So, we try our hardest to avoid it, ignore it, pretend it's not there.Today, I want to suggest that grief is not a gremlin at all; it's a gift. Join me as I tell you why and how to welcome it into your life. Are you wondering how Life Coaching works? Would you like a free, 30-minute session?

In this week's episode, I share about a pattern in my life that I've recognized. And I've finally discovered the source and what it all means. Rest.Did you know that we, as humans, were designed for rhythms of rest in our life. But sadly, many of us don't recognize when we're being called to rest. God designed rest as a gift to us.
