This term psychologically rich just describes what I chase." – Madeline"Psychological richness and the desire to grow and be curious and be open... just gave me that language to be like, yeah, I don't always prioritize the happy life because there's something that matters more to me." – Madeline"Perhaps true psychological richness isn't found in harmony or a balance, but in the raw intensity of the experience..." – Cynthia"It all makes sense! This is why I ran away from teaching! And, like, why I just basically should have bumper stickers all over my car and say, I hate systems!" - Maggie"...people whose lives are psychologically rich tend to seek out challenges and value learning and are less interested in maintaining the status quo." – Quote from the paper: A Psychologically Rich Life: Beyond Happiness and Meaning, Oishi, S., & Westgate, E.

What You'll Learn From This Episode:Are emotions the same as feelings? And how do you "feel your feelings"? In today's episode, Madeline (ICF, CTI-trained coach) & Cynthia (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) explore the world of emotions. We reveal that our emotions exist because they serve the vital function of attaching ourselves to what really matters and what we deem internally valuable.We highlight that belonging and safety are two of the main feelings that we humans are hardwired to require for survival. Emotions also serve a valuable purpose in self-communication, and in helping us discern our values and goals. Our emotions can tell us what we need, or what is unhelpful.Knowing those things can help guide our life and alter our choices, thus having the ability to change ourselves and create the meaningful lives we want.

What You'll Learn From This Episode:Today Madeline and Cynthia ask the question of how can we feel like a caring person and still care for ourselves. At the end of the day, people-pleasing comes from a desire to receive love and acceptance from others. People-pleasing isn't necessarily a bad thing. Being a concerned and caring person is an important part of maintaining healthy relationships with loved ones. It becomes a problem, however, if we are trying to win approval in order to shore up weak self-esteem or if we are pursuing the happiness of others at the expense of our own emotional well-being.What we discussed:(00:47) The tendency to people please for the holidays(02:09) Getting out of assumptions land(03:02) Going from pleasing to priorities(04:30) Checking in on energy levels(05:48) Put on your own oxygen mask first(07:34) The truth about people-pleasing: it's not about them!(09:11) Why confidence combats people-pleasing(10:42) Going beyond obligations(12:43) Choosing values over fears(15:38) Going in for the win-win (16:21) Compromise vs. sacrifice(18:56) Fear-driven vs. love-driven (21:30) Ending with a quote(21:58) BIG NEWS: retreats coming in 2023!(22:43) Closing notesFor further reading and tools: Make yourself a priority.Your wants and needs are just as important as your family and friends (in fact, they are more important because you should be your own top priority).What do you want to do? How do you want to feel? What can you do more of to feel that way?Choose Values Over Fears. ...As you are able, check in with yourself to see what values-driven choices or decisions might be accessible in any given situation.Start Setting Boundaries Now. …Dr. Brene Brown's definition: “Boundaries are simply what's okay and what's not okay.” Having your boundaries set beforehand can go a long way in terms of promoting self- respect and autonomy, while still allowing yourself to show up for your family.Communicate your needs to others …Communication is defined as a lot of things but my favorite definition includes, “the successful conveying or sharing of ideas and feelings”.Get Comfortable Saying No. ...Consider what you are sacrificing. Saying “no” can be difficult but consider what you are sacrificing every time you say “yes” to please others.Take Care of Yourself. …Self-care is important to maintaining a healthy relationship with yourself. It means doing things to take care of our minds, bodies, and souls by engaging in activities that promote well-being and reduce stressGive Yourself Grace. Work on giving YOURSELF the love and acceptance you crave from family, friends, and loved ones. You are totally and completely worthy just as you are.Create Win/Win ScenariosTurn Obligations into honoring valuesQuote for reflection: “What could I do if I just knew it didn't need to be perfect?

What You'll Learn From This Episode:Today Madeline and Cynthia explore that dreadful word, ”should”. Taking a look at how this plays out in our lives.The “should” is likely generated by the mind in its rational wisdom. The underlying feelings are held by the body. How often do we ignore or completely dismiss them and do what we “should”?Each time we do that, we tell our Self that we're not important (or at least not as important as the thing we “should” do). Each time we disconnect a little more from our authentic Self. We give away our authentic power.In today's conversation, we explore the meaning behind "should" and discover what we CAN leave behind.

What You'll Learn From This Episode:This week's episode provides a guide to being rather than doing. What does that mean? Doing has an endpoint or limitations such as only doing it when you feel comfortable. Being is when in every situation you commit to using one of your core values. What are yours?We believe that everyone should intentionally live a life based upon their own values; a state of being. This show features a discussion around designing and implementing individual values-based mindsets and also introduces Cynthia & Madeline (the show's co-hosts). They share how exploring their own values-based mindset can lead to a more fulfilling life.For further reading and tools: VIA Character Strengths Survey - https://www.viacharacter.org/Sparketype Test by Jonathan Fields - https://sparketype.com/sparketest/Want to get in touch?
