Emotional Empowerment Podcast

This is clearly an unprecedented time that is creating varying degrees of challenges depending on your circumstances. With you by your side will be your emotions. With the changes and different pressures you are experiencing, negative feelings are going to likely arise. In this episode, I share with you how to address anxiety, sadness, frustration and anger from a place of empowerment. I'll also reveal my own personal experiences of each of these feelings I've been experiencing and how I've dealt with my emotions. (Spoiler Alert: It hasn't been perfect!). Please know that empowerment does not mean shoving your emotions down nor is it an emotional free for all. Your emotions are a guide to support you to show up as your best self, especially when challenged. I hope this episode can support you to have compassion for the negative feelings that are arising in yourself and others and provide you with an approach that will support you to feel better.Support the show (https://iiee.training/podcasts/)

Together, let’s pause and take stock of your life this year. Because being a part of the Emotional Empowerment Podcast means you have been setting yourself up to emotionally grow and evolve. Unfortunately, acknowledging your inner growth often gets missed. The tendency is to focus on external accomplishments. But the external accomplishments won’t last or have meaning without your internal energy being in alignment. By being willing to break the old model of trying to get rid of negative emotions and instead embrace their wisdom, you have been going through some serious internal shifts. What this means is you’ve been setting up your internal, emotional world to be a match for your highest vision of you. So let’s honor your growth by listening in to this episode and learn how your emotions are supporting you to rock 2020 and beyond!Support the show (https://iiee.training/podcasts/)

Live your best life! It sounds simple but have you ever wondered how to actually do that? Is it just #goodvibes? Yes and no. What a lot of people consider to be keeping the energy in a positive state is actually ignoring what’s going on inside of them that’s in conflict. That’s like putting a towel over poop and convincing yourself the mess is cleaned up. Clearly, it ain’t. Instead, what I invite you to do is pay attention to 3 major internal components that will shift how you relate to yourself and life so that your vibes are truly radiating love and expansiveness instead of pushed down internal fear and contraction. If you are ready to align with your desires in a deep way, I invite you to listen in to this episode. Life is truly set up for you to win.

Ahhh….Living the Sweet Life. Not too many people can say they know what it means to bring forward a charmed life that includes love, prosperity, health, and joy. Worse yet, when you see someone who does actually have a beautiful life, envy can creep in, which of course, keeps you further away from receiving more of life’s goodness.

Your happiness and fulfillment matters. When you don’t recognize that, life has a tendency to start to self-destruct. In the midst of things falling apart, the tendency is to cling on with a death-grip to what’s remaining. Based on ancient Hindu teachings, instead of feverishly clenching to what was, we have an opportunity to understand the love behind the destruction happening to your life. This is the love that is shown through the Goddess Kali. Whether you believe in the goddess Kali or not, isn’t the point. There is an opportunity to understand the stories that belong to Kali and how this power-filled feminine energy can help you emotionally grow, especially when life turns upside-down on you. Like any mother, Kali only wants the best for you. In fact, she will stop at nothing to to ensure you receive it, by teaching YOU how to reclaim your inner power in a way that honors yourself and others.In Episode 18, you’ll also discover….How to step into being fear-lessHow to be in integrity when you are angryWhat is going on at a deeper level when a part (or all) of your life starts to fall apart & how to recover.How one woman went from a terrible relationship and total work overwhelm to her dream relationship and a raise while putting boundaries around her work.What are the feminine qualities we are being called to receive more deeply.Support the show (https://iiee.training/podcasts/)

When you hear the word “Tantra,” you likely are only thinking of its sexy side. There’s another side to tantra that has everything to do with your emotional well-being. Through this inward focus of tantra and your emotions, there is an opportunity to feel truly liberated. Tantra guides us to inner freedom by honoring the life-force energy (Shakti) that is often depleted and forgotten. Emotional Empowerment aims to reclaim your Shakti through the power in all that you feel. Learn how the Emotional Empowerment model aligns with ancient tantric principles and asks us to reclaim our sacred feminine energy in unexpected ways in Episode 17: Integrating Tantra & Your Emotions.

Being dedicated, persevering through challenges, and going for what you want is one way to define an ambitious person. But sometimes ambition can take a wrong turn and become manipulative or over enthusiastic in a not so great way. This is the duality of ambition and it’s what I am discussing in Episode 16: Access More Ambition. Of course, we are going to do this the Emotional Empowerment way by supporting you to acknowledge and understand the shadow side to ambition within you. Per usual, I use myself as an example so you don’t feel that you are alone with the shadow side of ambition.

There is a part of you that has dreams for yourself. And yet there's another part of you that, at times, seems to go against your vision. Once you recognize that part of you standing in the way of what you want, you just want to banish it from you. But fighting ourselves never works. In this episode, I’ll be sharing with you how to access the unexpressed aspects of your visionary self, such as more of your talents, motivation, love and success without fighting the aspects of yourself that tend to pull you away from who you really are.

While we are more comfortable than ever talking about negative feelings such as anxiety, depression, guilt and more, what we still avoid discussing is the void. You know, that sense of emptiness that pops up from time to time. It’s hard to admit it even exists. But for many, it’s there, myself included. This void tends to pop up when you are in the midst of change. So rather than run from it, I invite you to go in towards the nothingness within you. What you’ll actually find are the answers you’ve been looking for AND greater self-love. In episode 14, you’ll also discover:Signs your self-care routine is a band-aid attempt to cover up the void within you.What you are looking for in relationships that is key to what you must give to yourself.How to be loving to the emptiness within you.Ways your avoidance of the void creates long-term struggles.3 steps to greater self-love.Support the show (https://iiee.training/podcasts/)

Did you know that when you put yourself down, you get something out of it? Yep, as weird as it sounds, there’s an internal, unconscious benefit to your inner cruelty. If you’ve been stuck in an area of life or just don’t feel as good as you would like to, you are likely diminishing a vital aspect of yourself that is needed in order to create a change. This is why the advice of “lift yourself up” is nice but insufficient. The tendency is to ignore the “bad” and focus on the “good,” but the reality is you tuck parts of yourself away that are misunderstood. In Episode 13: Why You Are Mean to Yourself, learn what your ego gets out of this negative self-talk that serves you in the short-term but hurts you in the long-term. Then you’ll know what you can do instead that will bring true inner healing and self-recognition and, in doing, so enable yourself to make the changes in your life that matter most to you.In episode 13, you’ll also discover:How your negative feelings can lift the veil to see the inner cruelty going on inside of you.Why telling yourself to “think positively” is insufficient to overcome negative self-talk.How to take radical personal responsibility for your inner cruelty.What you get out of putting yourself down.How to reclaim the aspects of yourself you have tucked away and reclaim them with love & compassion.Support the show (https://iiee.training/podcasts/)

Anger is such a powerful emotion and one of the most understood feelings out there. When anger arises, it is always for a very important reason. The common advice is to try to contain your temper but if not understood, your anger will come out and cause destruction. This destruction is either toward another or yourself. When your anger is turned on another, you’ll feel like a Class A Jerk. When you turn your anger against yourself, you’ll experience depression, self-sabotage, or a sense of inadequacy. Through the Emotional Empowerment lens, you can learn to receive your anger from love and in doing so, you will learn to heed the call to step into profound personal responsibility.

When something goes wrong and you are emotionally sensitive, your tendency is to take it really hard and be super critical of yourself. If you have an emotionally sensitive kid, they are doing the same darn thing and they are molding their identity based upon their inner critic’s messages.

Do you crave alone time & more rest? Does the idea of sitting down and reading a book during a weekday (and you didn’t go anywhere for vacation) seem laughable? Do you find it hard to let go of what you are working on because it absolutely must get done? I get it, you are busy. We all are. But if you answered yes to any of the above, my bet is guilt is at least partially running your life, perhaps a lot of your life. The trick is you may not even know it, because your ego will convince you that pushing yourself to get more done and leaving little to no energy for yourself is the only way to get through life - if you want to have a good life. I promise, your ego has it all wrong, and may in fact, be keeping you away from your very desire.

If I can just get this part of my life together, I would feel (_____fill-in-the-blank_____). You know the drill. Your ego tells you that a certain dream needs to come into fruition for you to somehow feel better. So you try and try and TRY to make that happen. To no avail. Which makes you feel worse about yourself. Then to avoid feeling worse that your efforts have led you no where, you find ways to distract yourself from that pain with unhealthy habits. This is the vicious cycle of under confidence. Being under confident doesn’t mean you are a doormat. In fact, I’ve worked with many successful people who were confident in business, but severely under confident in relationships, as well as those who were highly confident in their health or relationships but struggled and felt under confident with their finances. The reason this happens is because your ego knows exactly how to seduce your focus elsewhere, which ultimately undermines your confidence. The Cost to Being Under Confident isn’t just impacting your emotional health, it’s impacting any area of your life that you’ve felt challenged. Listen to this episode to find out what true confidence is and how to build lasting confidence from the inside out. In doing so, you’ll have a whole new way of approaching and resolving areas that you have struggled to change.Support the show (https://iiee.training/podcasts/)

“Why am I so upset? Am I being ridiculous? Why can’t I just let this go? If I was a better person, I would move on and not be so hurt by this.” The ways we question our right to feel what we feel can be never-ending. In this episode, I integrate a feminine approach to spirituality and share how it impacts our understanding of ourselves, especially if you are a woman, and our emotional well-being.

There's a reason why ESP's (Emotionally Sensitive People) have a more challenging time feeling confident than others and it's likely not what you think it is. Without addressing what takes away emotionally sensitive people's confidence, they are more at risk to experience anxiety, depression, and even suicidal thoughts. Even for those who don't consider themselves emotionally sensitive, you'll see how this internal block shows up in subtle ways that block/prohibit deeper connection in your relationships and other areas of your life. Learn why changing your thoughts or actions won't get to the core of creating confidence and what you can do that will build a solid internal foundation of confidence and grit, even and especially for emotionally sensitive people.

Since ancient civilizations, there has been a study about human behavior that was called the study of the soul.

Why do we feel the way we do? That was the question I was haunted with even after receiving my degree in clinical psychology, learning personal development tools, and studying spiritual teaching. Despite all the variety of ways I had to get rid of my negative emotions, such as anxiety, sadness, and anger, they kept coming back and I wanted to know why. Finally, I received the answer, which is.. your negative feelings are your greatest allies.
