Feeling Inspired

Let's get real; it can be tricky to buy a home with the current market prices.  In this episode, I explore the process of buying your first home.  Becoming a homeowner may be a dream or a goal for you and in this episode, I break down the steps to get you into your new home.

It's time for a new narrative!  The story of our lives is our narrative.  Our narrative isn't based on the facts of what we experienced, rather it is how we experienced those events.  This is so critical and important.  If we can explore our narrative, we may realize that some things are not real or true.  For example, we may think that one event happened a particular way, but upon further inspection, we realize that things were actually quite different than how we understood them at the time.  As we explore and shift our narrative, we can change how we feel about life and even change our future.

Making space for love and light in your life can often require making space for more love.  Fake friends are people that don't have your best interest in mind.  You love them, and they may or may not love you back.  Either way, their actions reveal a negative energy coming your way.  Having a life full of people that have negative vibes coming your way can make things really hard.  If you are having a horribly difficult time experiencing love and light in your life, it is possible you may be surrounded by people that don't have your best interest in mind.

Applying the logic of affordability can shirk and even kill your dreams.  Affordability is relative and connected to your ability to think outside the box.  Your vision can make the unaffordable magically affordable.  Ways can appear out of no way.  The fear of unaffordability can stop us from pursuing our dreams before we even start.  Let's dream without the constraints of affordability!

How to move from Fake Boundaries to Real Boundaries compassionately!

What would life look like if you had poor boundaries? 

Real boundaries vs Fake boundaries concepts explored.

This Episode is all about getting to know yourself and being honest with yourself.  Many of us underestimate a situation and think that it is less complicated than it is.  At the same time, we overestimate our capacity.   This combination is risky and can lead to burnout.  Learning to be real with yourself about your true capacity can really change how you approach situations in general and allow you to avoid putting yourself in bad situations that you actually can't handle. 

This episode explores different ways of living and thinking about finances.  How are you living financially?  Are you in a stable situation, but slightly stagnant?  Are you experiencing some ups and Downs, but moving forward and pursuing your dreams?  How do we live an exciting way that is full of life, new experiences, love, and joy and is still financially abundant?

This episode explores the importance of understanding how to approach learning and newness.  With each new skill and talent area we are interested in, comes a new procedure and ways of doing things.  You can learn new ways of doing things and new procedures.  Creating an openness to learning new procedures will open the door to a new way of approaching learning.  Giving yourself the grace and time needed to learn a new skill can allow you to approach your dreams in a new and exciting way.

This episode explores the mystical aspect of life and change.  I examine the concept of the unknown and the magic that the future can hold.  The bottom line is you never know!  You can wake up in the morning and your life can change and you can't control how things will go or shift at any moment.  Even those of us with a very stable life, never know what life will bring.  It makes sense to plan, but at the same time, it's important to stay open to what life may bring us and have some flexibility because life is fluid and things can surprise us on the regular.  

Asking for help can be really challenging for many of us.  However, asking for help is a very important ability to develop if you want to expand your vision.  The support and help of others can open more doors than we can imagine.  This episode explores why it is so important to be able to ask for help and how to remove some of the barriers that prevent us from being able to ask.

The inner child is an important aspect of who we are.  Inner conflict can be generated when the inner child part of us is ignored.  However, it can be easy to ignore this part of ourselves when we are in survival mode and just working our butts off to make money and navigate adult relationship dynamics.  Where in your life can your inner child come out and play?  If you have no space in your life where this part of you can exist, that part is probably feeling ignored.  The beauty of reconnecting with your inner child part of yourself is that it can bring a sense of safety and fun into your life.  It is not always easy to reconnect with that part of you especially if you had a challenging childhood, but reconnection is possible and an important part of becoming an integrated whole person. 

You, Me, and Everyone are special in our own unique ways.  We bring a special element to the world and to our communities.  We are not better than anyone else or more important than anyone else.  Each person has their own innate gifts.  However, that doesn't mean that we don't need to invest in ourselves and work to bring our gift out into the world.  Each and every one of us has something to bring to the table so be yourself and remember there is no need to try to be like someone else.  Not only is it impossible to be someone else, but the you that you are is way more beautiful than your imitation of someone else.

Agency is a vital aspect of feeling free in your life.  Agency is a beautiful concept that I explore in this episode.  Breaking down this concept can help bring awareness to how much or how little agency you feel in your life.  I also break down how to build that feeling as well.

What's your vision for your life and future?  In this episode, I explore how living in survival mode can make it hard to create a vision for yourself.   It's beyond words how important it is to try to take time to think about your life and explore where you would like your life to go.  After creating your vision, it becomes essential that you protect it.   

First of all, are there shortcuts in life?  How do we approach our desire to grow and expand and have more than we do now?  In this episode, I break down the fantasy of a magical shortcut that transports us into a new life without having to make a significant change in our lives.  I break down another way to explore life that can radically shift how you feel about working toward your dreams.

This episode explores how many of us have been brainwashed and forgotten how valuable our body truly is.  I explore how to bring our focus onto our body and develop a better relationship with your body.  Your body is priceless, meaningful, and a powerful instrument for you to experience the physical world.  In this episode, I deconstruct the lies that we have been taught with the aim of refocusing our priorities back to what is the most important.  Our body and ourselves have to come first, or our health can end up on the back burner.  If our health comes after everything else, we can get into a painful relationship with our bodies.  Let's make a shift in the right direction. 

Check out some interesting stories and ways of thinking that allow you to tap into more love and light from nature and from within.  Is it possible to generate gratitude for the photons and love in general?  Getting on the frequency and energy of love and light has the power to completely transform your life and experience on the planet.  Let's work to open ourselves to the loving energy that is flowing our way each and every day!

This episode explores how to change our lives and ways of thinking to stop getting played in life.  Even better is when we learn how to stop undervaluing ourselves, and even better than that is to tap into our potential.  What do you bring to the table for real?  Playing yourself is the worst and most damaging thing we can do to prevent our success and creative expansion. This episode is packed with stories to invite you to tap into how truly valuable you.

People and relationships can open doors and change our lives, but we have to be available.  If we are open to people coming into our lives we are open to all the amazing gifts that they bring to us.  Giving to others and receiving from others can be a great source of joy and fulfillment.  Let's welcome the gifts that others are just longing to share, and also, let's put ourselves in situations where we can give more of ourselves and share our gifts with others. 

The episode explores what supreme confidence is and how to develop it.  You are a special and unique one-of-a-kind being.  Connecting with the truth of who you are can lead to the development of this magnetic energy and grounded confidence.  Supreme confidence can't be faked and is unrelated to money or education.  It comes from connecting with the awesomeness of your consciousness!  Let's connect with who we are and exude supreme confidence.

In this episode, I explore the material, emotional, and spiritual realms.  I discuss how advertising and media outlets can create a desire for particular products.  I explore how to reconnect with the spiritual and emotional realms to help guide our purchases and shift out of a state of lack.

Take a step back to see the forest through the trees.  We can get so deep into a dramatic situation that we can be overcome by emotion that we can make decisions that we regret.  The is a lot of power in taking a break and disengaging from the circumstances and connecting with yourself and with a higher truth and then making a move from that vibration.  Take a step back and chill out and gain more options and opportunities that you even knew were there.

In this episode, I explore the psychological concept of individuation.  This is one of the most important concepts and can be groundbreaking if you understand it.  Doing the work of individuation can free you in ways that are almost unimaginable.  The work of getting free takes a lot of work, time, and support.  A big part of what is holding us back in our lives is the mental constructs that we are carrying from our parents and society.  

How would you act if you knew you were wanted? How would you act if you knew you were not wanted?

How can you love someone when you have abandonment issues?  How can you learn to trust and open yourself up to love?  The episode explores love, loving, trust, and abandonment.

What does it mean to be free?  Isn't that what we are all working for?  Wouldn't it be amazing to be free to experience a feeling of freedom in your life?  This episode explores the concept of freedom and goes deep into what freedom truly is.  Many people confuse freedom with financial freedom.  Unfortunately, if you achieve financial freedom, that doesn't mean you will feel free.  If you have been chasing money your whole life, it is hard to believe that money alone won't lead to a feeling of freedom.  Instead of focusing all of our attention on money, let's focus on financial, mental, physical, and last but not least spiritual.  Let's plan to enjoy and work toward holistic and integral freedom!

What do you like?  How do you really know what it is that you like?  It sounds simple, but after listening to this episode, you may be left with more questions than answers.  I hope that this episode sparks curiosity within you and makes you want to explore what you like and question the things that you think you like.  In order to follow your dreams and for that to feel good, your dreams need to be aligned with what you love.  If the dreams that you are chasing are actually other people's dreams it won't feel right, and it will be extremely disappointing when you arrive at your (not really your) dreams.  If we can tap into what you genuinely like is going to open you up to what your dreams truly are, and it's going to feel great!

What does it mean to resource yourself?  How do you resource yourself when you are feeling stuck?  This episode explores how to move to the next level in your life and how to go beyond the obstacles you encounter on the way to your dreams.  How can we think about what to do if we don't know what to do?  The concept of resourcing yourself can help you to think about this problem differently.

Time management is important in general, but it is actually essential if we have dreams that we are seeking to achieve.  If we put our dreams first, we can always have time.  However, if we put them 5th, we may never get around them.  How many dreams do you have that are just lingering on the back burner?  Time management can allow you to literally create time for your dreams.  You will be absolutely amazed by how wonderful it will feel to start taking steps toward your dreams.  Let's learn how to utilize time management skills in new and exciting ways to stimulate movement toward our dreams!

In this episode, I explore how important it is to infuse love into your goals.  Are money and material possessions enough to make you happy and feel loved?  It is critical to include love in your goals, even if they are material in nature.  For example, if your dream is to have a huge house, let's include how much love you would like to experience in that house.  Let's include how much love you want to feel in that house and how it will create a space to spend quality time with your loved ones.  The risk of not including love in our goals is that we could achieve the goal and still end up loveless.  How do we include love in our vision?  That's what this episode gets into hope you enjoy it! 

This episode explores the relationship between using a credit card and a debit card.  In this example, I share my experience with credit cards and discuss why I am now shifting over to debit cards.  I explore the different financial options for different people.  For some, credit is the way to go, and for others, credit cards can lead to financial ruin.  Which way or combination of ways would be best for you?  Are you a credit or debit person?  Can you manage your money on a regular basis, or do you need a bit of support in this area?  If so, making the shift could be very beneficial.

How can we cross a bridge before we get to it?  It's not possible!  We can take some time to learn about the potential barriers (bridges) that we may encounter and make an educated decision., we often project our fears and worries into the future and this leads to inaction.  Sometimes, we have to tell ourselves that we will cross that bridge when we get to it and not allow our anxieties prevent us from following our dreams.  The episode explores how to go beyond our fears and start taking action toward our goals today!

The mental labyrinth is when we get caught up in our own head and overthink it and overanalyze it.  This labyrinth can prevent us from being able to make our own decisions and can prevent us from being able to identify what we love and sometimes even who we love. This episode explores what a mental labyrinth is and goes into how to escape from its clutches.

What do we need to do in our lives to prepare to receive what the universe has for us?  This episode explores the adjustments we may need to make to become receptive to what you have been dreaming about.  I explore how creating an offer can open you up to the flow of energy that the universe wants to give share with you.  If the universe wanted to give you money through a person, what would you have to offer?  What are things we could do to open ourselves to the infinite flow of energy? 

Do you feel responsible for the well-being of all those around you?  Do you feel that it is your responsibility for other people's happiness?  This episode asks listeners to check in with themselves to see if they are feeling responsible for things that are out of their control.  I share some personal experiences with learning how to shift from feeling responsible for into responsible to.  Stepping away from feeling responsible for things that you can't control leads to an unbelievable sense of freedom.

The episode covers gratitude, abundance, and how to integrate gratitude into our lives.  I present what a gratitude practice can look like in real-time.  I express gratitude live and reflect on how this exercise can shift our feeling state.  I examine how easy it is to take all of our blessings for granted and ignore all the beautiful aspects of our lives.  Gratitude is a way to remember all that we have (including what may be in storage or that miscellaneous drawer).  How do we bring a gratitude practice into our lives?  How different would our lives be if we regularly appreciated all we have (people, places, things, and ancestors)?

This episode explores the emotion and thought process of wanting and how this can drive our lives.  I unpack and discuss what it looks like to give in to our endless pile of wants versus work on creating the life that we want.  The concepts of wanting, owning your desire, and living in our truth is complex and multifaceted, and this episode attempts to go beyond the surface and see what we find.  The freedom of owning our desire and stepping into integrity runs parallel to a life of excuses and regrets.  How can we work to make this shift?  How can we step into our truth and move closer to our freedom and happiness? 

This episode diverts a bit from the other episodes on this podcast.  This episode explores how to work with and understand sadness.  How do we have the life we want and work to the life we dream about when we are feeling down in the dumps?  What is sadness and where does that feeling come from?  This episode explores where the feeling of sadness can originate and what to do about it.  I share some of my own experiences with sadness and share a bit about how I work with it.

This episode debunks the get a piece of the pie ideology.  This episode reveals how important it is to deconstruct the limiting belief system that is designed to keep the crabs in our buckets.  Let's go beyond being a crab in a bucket.  Let's work to see and recognize our unlimited potential.  Imagine how powerful it would be if, instead of trying to get a piece of the pie, we went for the who pie and also held the belief that there are enough pies for everyone to have one.  What if we all had different pies and could share them with each other.  Then not only would we have our pie, but would have the pleasure of trying other kinds as well.  How wonderful would that be?  How would a whole pie mentality change your life?

This is part two of this topic and this episode goes beyond people draining our energy and gets into places and things.  This episode also explores how to receive energy from nature and the universe.  It is an exploration into ways of thinking about energy and how to relate to it.  How powerful would it be if we really understood, respected, and tended to our precious energy?  How can we renew our energy even after some of it may have been stolen?  

This episode explores the concept of people, places, and things stealing our energy and what to do about it.  This episode zeros in on how people can take our energy and how to become more aware and conscious about this exchange.  Having curiosity and exploring the nuances of what happened to our energy can lead to making real-life changes.  Who stole my energy is a critical area to check out because we really need our energy in order to create the life of our dreams and express our creativity.

This episode goes into the concept of giving and the risk of trying to help people that aren't looking for help.  How do we set boundaries around how much to share and who to share with?   Are you really in a position to help or not?  This episode goes into how to open yourself to receiving from the universe and how to recognize if people aren't open to receiving.  We have to meet people where they are at, but to understand where people are at, we need to listen and actively check in with them and ourselves.

This episode exposes how circumstances can hold us in a limited way of thinking and acting.  I explore how a shift in perception can be utilized to work toward changing challenging circumstances.  The question I explore is how do we go beyond our current circumstances?  I also examine why it can be dangerous to allow our circumstances to be the only factor to dictate our perception of reality.
