In Pursuit Of Truth with Aideen T. Finnola

In Pursuit Of Truth with Aideen T. Finnola Radio Show Are you someone who is drawn to personal growth? When faced with a life of quiet desperation, did you say "There must be something more?" And, when your cry was answered with a calling to deep personal growth, did you respond "Yes!" with every cell in your body only to find out, after your journey began, that it wasn't going to be an easy path? You're not alone! So many people, who prize personal growth, start with joy and excitement . . . "Oh the possibilities! Inner peace, Divine Purpose, Enlightenment, Universal Love, and Oneness with All Beings!" And then the demons arise . . . Ego, Fear, Separateness, Aloneness! The Seeker stumbles, falters, and the flame of desire for the prize flickers because the price of the path less traveled by and a life examined is high, so very high. What to do? Give up and return to a safe but desperate life or press on, through the overwhelming challenges, through the fear, through the relentless unknown, to either succeed or die trying? Join Aideen for a hard look at the true price and payoff of personal growth.

In Pursuit Of Truth with Aideen T. Finnola Radio Show Are you a slow-learner when it comes to seeing reality in your relationships? In the name of giving someone the benefit of the doubt, do you struggle to call a spade a spade? Have you been conditioned to be nice even when the ugly truth is staring you in the face? One of the most famous quotes from the late Maya Angelou is: "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time." This suggestion seems so simple and so obvious, and yet it can be so very challenging to believe the truth about who someone is the first time that they show that truth. The place to start is by telling the truth to yourself about who someone is and what the quality of your relationship with them is. Join Aideen for a powerful discussion about telling the truth in and about your relationships.

In Pursuit Of Truth with Aideen T. Finnola Radio Show The experience of being human is one that encompasses the good, the bad, and the ugly, and sometimes all at once. Human beings can experience joy to the point of ecstasy and pain to the point of torment. The joy can make you want to stay in time and space forever and the pain can make you want to check out permanently. How can you hold the joy loosely? How can you endure the pain gracefully? How can you make sense of your Eternal Self choosing to squeeze into the confines of time and space? How can you make your peace with being human?

In Pursuit Of Truth with Aideen T. Finnola Radio Show Do you struggle with forgiveness? Have you been told, by well-meaning people in your life, that you MUST forgive? Do you even know what forgiveness is? Forgiveness used to be an idea that was primarily idealized and mandated in religious circles. In recent decades, it has become quite the buzz word in self-help, personal growth, and spiritual circles with just as strong of an idealization and mandate. But, what does forgiveness actually mean? And, is it even necessary to forgive? What can you do if you don't want to forgive? Join Aideen as she explores the truth of the practice of forgiveness, investigates whether or not forgiveness is ideal or necessary, and encourages you to find freedom either through or outside of forgiveness . . . your choice!

In Pursuit Of Truth with Aideen T. Finnola Radio Show The human brain loves to organize all the information it receives into categories with labels. This is a very necessary and useful function that your brain performs for your survival as an animal on the planet. Unfortunately, it is not a function that contributes to your happiness and self-esteem, when your brain applies labels to your identity. Labels, such as co-dependent, depressive-anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, are extremely helpful for clarification of an experience that you are having. These same labels become limiting and damaging when you sew them on yourself and apply them to your identity. You might be having the experience that a label describes, but You are not your experience! There is a You that is above, beyond, outside, before, and after any experience you have and any label you use to describe that experience. Join Aideen as she explores the good truth, the bad truth, and the ugly truth of labels and gives you practical guidance to put labels in their proper place (HINT: not on your face!).

In Pursuit Of Truth with Aideen T. Finnola Radio Show "Let it go" is one of the most popular platitudes in our culture today, especially in spiritual, personal growth, and self-help communities. Like with so many of these platitudes, when someone tells you to "let it go," it can leave you feeling judged, criticized, like you're falling short, and like you're being a control freak. It's an easy-peasy command for another person to utter because they aren't the one wrestling with the challenge that you are when they tell you to just "let it go." And, it gives them a "get out of jail free" pass to side-step actually supporting you through your challenge. But do you really always need to "let it go"? Does this platitude work in all challenging situations? Is it wise to use the "let it go" platitude as a "one size fits all" approach to every challenge you face? Perhaps it's actually more complex than that. Perhaps, as in all things, you should pursue your own truth and find the source of infallible wisdom within yourself. When you have been told to "let it go," and something inside you rails against this platitude, pause, go within, and ask yourself "Do I want to let it go?" God, Source, The Universe, Your Higher Self, etc. will give you the answer, in a still small voice, and you can trust that answer. Join Aideen as she breaks down the platitude "let it go" and gives you very practical tools for figuring out whether or not you actually want to let it go and, if you do, how to "let it go" effortlessly and peacefully.

In Pursuit Of Truth with Aideen T. Finnola Radio Show Everyone has an Inner Critic and yet everyone seems to think that they are the only one who has an Inner Critic. That is, in fact, one of the most untruthful messages from your Inner Critic . . . that you are the only person weak enough, insecure enough, and pathetic enough to have an Inner Critic. This statement, just like all other statements from your Inner Critic, is not the truth! The most fascinating thing about the Inner Critic is that it's not natural. Yep, it's unnatural! It's unnatural because no one is born with an Inner Critic. The Inner Critic is an After-Market Add-On because it's something that gets imposed on you by your family of origin, your society, your religion (if you're raised in a religion), and your culture. Just like any other after-market add-on, the Inner Critic doesn't look good, it doesn't perform well, and it makes the whole system (you) function worse. So, what can you do about your Inner Critic? Are you stuck with it? It can feel that way, but, no, you are NOT stuck with your Inner Critic and you don't have to be helpless in the face of it's constant abuse! Join Aideen, for this powerful episode about the Inner Critic, as she breaks down what the Inner Critic is, how it gets added on, and how it can be confronted, managed, and minimized.

In Pursuit Of Truth with Aideen T. Finnola Radio Show How many times have you heard the question: "Do you have what it takes?" Does that question intimidate you? Does it stress you out? Do you worry that you don't have "what it takes"? Many, many times, I have worried that I don't have "what it takes." Most of my life, in fact, I have been thoroughly convinced that I didn't have "what it takes." What makes this question so stressful is that it is unanswerable due to its very nature. When the question "Do you have what it takes?" is asked, the requirement is never quantified. So often, this question leaves us feeling like a deer in the headlights, not having any idea just exactly what it will take but, nonetheless, feeling certain that we don't have what it takes, even though we don't know what that is. After an accomplishment is attempted and achieved, a challenge faced and overcome, a trauma worked through and healed, or crisis managed and averted, we can easily look back and see that, indeed, we must have had what it took because we did it. But we never know that at the outset, which begs the question "Do we even need to ask and/or answer whether or not we have what it takes?" Perhaps the question is useless and irrelevant after all. Join Aideen as she explores the truth of the age-old question "Do you have what it takes?"

In Pursuit Of Truth with Aideen T. Finnola Radio Show What do you think of when you hear the word "monogamy"? Do you think magic or do you think monotony? Have you ever wondered if monogamy could add magic to your life? In our progressive world of "try everything at least once" and "leave your options open," the practice of monogamy is seen as old fashioned, at best, and equivalent to monotony, at worst. The idea of having one partner and only one partner for any length of time, much less "till death do you part," makes many people feel stifled, claustrophobic, restricted, and deprived. But what if that weren't true? What if there is a magic in monogamy? What if that magic is exclusive to (no pun intended) and can only be accessed through monogamy? Join Aideen and sex therapist Dr. Megan Fleming as they explore the magical secrets hidden in the seemingly old fashioned practice of monogamy. Dr. Megan Fleming is a nationally recognized certified Sex & Relationships Expert. She has over 20 years of experience working with individuals and couples to discover what’s getting in their way and teaches them the skills and strategies to get the sex and relationships they want. Dr. Fleming is also a clinical instructor at the Weil Cornell Medical College. She is known for her practical advice and easy to follow guidance.

Is it determined and evidenced by our behavior and sexual activity or our we born with our sexual orientation already established before we even have any awareness of sex? This behavior/biology discussion is particularly pertinent and poignant for both the LGBTQ and the Straight Spouse communities, as well as for our greater society, because members of both communities have suffered greatly as a result of cultural ignorance and discrimination around sexual orientation. Life coach, author, and speaker, Rick Clemons has personal experience with this suffering. He has walked the same road as Aideen, but on the other side as a closeted gay spouse. Having spent decades trying to suppress the truth of his homosexual orientation and choose the behavior of a heterosexual man, Rick knows firsthand the pain, caused to himself and others, of not pursuing his truth. Rick now knows the joy, authenticity, and peace that comes from living a Life (Un)Closeted! Join Aideen as she welcomes Rick Clemons for some serious truth telling about sexual orientation! Hint: we were ALL born this way!!! Rick Clemons is a culture disruptor (shakes up the status quo), closet buster (shatters silly beliefs), and a bold move expert (like Superman without the muscles and cape). His superpower is guiding closet dwellers - which is every human - to break free of fear, make bold moves, and live life without apology. Everything Rick has discovered about living life his way, he learned from coming out of the closet at 36, getting laid off from two sweet corporate jobs, and making the crazy decision to become an entrepreneur at age 43. Rick’s book - Frankly My Dear I’m Gay, podcasts - Life (UN)Closeted and 40 Plus: Real Men, Real Talk, his Bold Move coaching practice, in-your-face keynotes, and experiential workshops represent his no b.s. approach for making bold moves without a safety net to be found. He was put on this earth to remind people that closets are for clothes not living. He is a husband to his husband, has survived raising two girls---thus, the reason he’s bald---and will gladly work for wine, but prefers money to pay for things like toilet paper and ice cream. https://rickclemons.com/       rick@rickclemons.com https://rickclemons.com/writing/ https://rickclemons.com/podcast-episodes/ https://rickclemons.com/forty-plus/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIjIyddGlPw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJdRNgD0VnI https://rickclemons.com/speaking/ Author of My Exquisite Purple Life  Purchase Book Here or Audio Here https://www.balboapress.com/BookStore/BookDetails/752312-My-Exquisite-Purple-Life ~ More About In Pursuit Of Truth with Aideen T.

In Pursuit Of Truth with Aideen T. Finnola Radio Show Conflicting and confusing information about sexuality? In our culture? Nooooo, really?!? Unfortunately, yes! You've heard about guy boners, but did you know that girl boners exist too? Yep, they're a thing . . . a real thing . . . Truth! If you grew up in North American culture (or just about any other culture across the globe), you probably didn't get the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth about sexuality! That was certainly the experience of August McLaughlin, host and creator of Girl Boner® and Girl Boner Radio and author of Girl Boner: The Good Girl's Guide to Sexual Empowerment. After having spent a lifetime in pursuit of sexual truth, August is an expert on all things sexual, especially Girl Boners!

Her feature articles have appeared in Cosmopolitan.com, DAME magazine, the Huffington Post, Sexual Wellness News, LIVESTRONG.com, The Good Men Project and more.

In Pursuit Of Truth with Aideen T. Finnola Radio Show Does anger come easily to you? Have you been told that you're "too much"? Does that make you angry? Anger gets a bad rap in our culture and understandably so! Anger makes people feel uncomfortable and uneasy. Most people reject the expression of anger and reject the person expressing the anger. The underlying fear is that anger causes violence, either verbal violence or physical violence. The truth is that it's the repression and denial of anger that can lead to violence, not the healthy and appropriate expression of anger! Join Aideen and special guest, Tina Martino, a life coach who specializes in the healthy expression of anger, as they talk about the upside of anger and why you don't want to repress or deny it with a smile and a positive attitude. Tina Martino is a life and authenticity coach specializing in facilitating and supporting her clients to feel all the feels, particularly the hard ones. She is known by her clients and her workshop attendees for her signature message: “You get to do that!” whatever “that” is which helps them to live their truth in the most authentic way possible. Tina is a lifelong seeker of what makes us all tick. She has studied psychology at the Center for Modern Psychoanalytic Study and life coaching at the Martha Beck Institute of Life Coach Training. She coaches clients all over the world and offers her signature workshop, "Uncage Your Rage," locally in Brooklyn, NYC.  tinam1212@me.com      http://tinamartino.com/ Author of My Exquisite Purple Life  Purchase Book Here or Audio Here https://www.balboapress.com/BookStore/BookDetails/752312-My-Exquisite-Purple-Life ~ More About In Pursuit Of Truth with Aideen T.

In Pursuit Of Truth with Aideen T. Finnola Radio Show The facts don't lie . . . or do they? Have you ever been so completely convinced that something is true only to find out that you were way off the mark? Has your mind ever taken a simple fact and, within just a few minutes, created a whole story around that simple fact and then, within just a few more minutes, completely convinced you that all of it is true? Well, you're not alone! Spinning stories is one of the things that your brain constantly does in its never ending effort to keep you safe from danger (perceived or actual). The problem is that your brain isn't worried about sticking to just the facts. When information is missing, your brain fabricates it. Yes, you read that correctly; your brain makes shit up! And everything it makes up has a negative slant! Join Aideen for a powerful look at the stories that your brain makes up, both the how and the why and learn how you can start to separate fact from fiction.

In Pursuit Of Truth with Aideen T. Finnola Radio Show Do you often feel like you are being held hostage by your brain and the thoughts it generates? You are not alone! And you can take control of the thoughts running through your brain! The truth about your human brain is that it is very intelligent but it is not very smart; it will believe what you tell it to believe! Humans are the only animals on the planet who are capable of conceptual thought, which is a mixed blessing and a dubious advancement, at best. With your human brain, you have the ability to recall the past and project into the future with such "realness" that you can experience past events and future possibilities as if they are happening to you in the present. This would be a benefit for you, if your human brain were wired to focus on the positive and the pleasant, but it is not! Join Aideen as she teaches you the truth about the human brain and empowers you with practical tools to manage your own brain.

In Pursuit Of Truth with Aideen T. Finnola Radio Show Unconditional love is revered in our culture and deemed to be the greatest love of all. But is that actually true? And, more importantly, is unconditional love even appropriate in adult relationships? Unconditional love is, by definition, without conditions. Love without conditions is also love without boundaries. We value having boundaries as a hallmark of healthy adult relationships and, at the same time, we idealize unconditional love but the two cannot co-exist. In fact, giving unconditional love in adult relationships is actually inappropriate. Join Aideen as she unpacks the concept of unconditional and empowers you to have healthy conditions for your precious and most valuable love.

In Pursuit Of Truth with Aideen T. Finnola Radio Show How many times has someone wagged their finger in your face saying "It's your responsibility!" Well, not everything is your responsibility! Oftentimes, other people will want you to take responsibility for things (emotions, actions, or consequences) that are not actually your responsibility. The word responsibility can be broken down into its two root words: response and ability. So, your responsibility is in areas where you have the ability to respond! It can take a bit of a shift in your thinking to look at your experiences this way, but, once you get it, it is very empowering! Join Aideen as she breaks down this concept of responsibility and guides you to take responsibility in the areas of your life where you have the ability to respond.

Coming from the perspective that life, time and space, and the human experience are all perfect and good, she knows that truth can only exist within ideas and experiences that are both workable and enjoyable. Aideen coaches her clients to find their own truth by investigating outside the conventional parameters of “should and shouldn’t,” “good and bad,” and “right and wrong.” She guides them instead to evaluate their experiences by questioning “Is this working for me?” and “Am I enjoying this?” Aideen empowers people all over the world through her coaching, her memoir, My Exquisite Purple Life, her speaking, and her radio show.

In Pursuit Of Truth with Aideen T. Finnola Radio Show You have been socialized to judge your choices in life as good or bad and right or wrong.

Regardless of how "good" or "right" a choice is deemed to be by your family, friends, or society, if it isn't workable and enjoyable for you, it isn't coming from your truth. Your unique truth from your authentic self will always guide you to choices that are both workable and enjoyable for you. Join Aideen as she encourages you to investigate your life experiences and make adjustments in order to have the most workable and enjoyable experiences possible.

In Pursuit Of Truth with Aideen T. Finnola Radio Show The "Us vs. Them" dynamic began with the dawn of time and space. Just because we've been dividing our human experience into "Us vs. Them" forever doesn't mean that it works. On the contrary, the "Us vs. Them" dynamic is a dead horse that we need to stop beating! It's easy to see this dynamic at work when you look at the big schisms in our world-nationalism, racism, sexism, LGBTQ discrimination, etc. It's easy to point your finger and condemn these large scale expressions of "Us vs. Them" and reassure yourself that you aren't part of the problem. But, have you ever considered that when you criticize yourself, you are creating an "Us vs. Them" dynamic between your human and your higher self? Join Aideen this week as she breaks down the "Us vs. Them" dynamic, uncovers all the sneaky places that it may be hiding in your life, and gives you the tools to create greater harmony inside yourself, thus increasing global harmony.

The more deeply and clearly you are connected to your truth, the easier it becomes to make choices that create enjoyable experiences for you. Join Aideen this week as she teaches you how to cultivate your truth through creating or deepening a Sacred Practice for yourself (within or outside of the context of traditional religion).

In Pursuit Of Truth with Aideen T. Finnola Radio Show In this debut episode, Aideen will share her personal journey. Being raised in a religious cult, Aideen's first encounter with truth was inflexible and demanding. In her twenty-year marriage to a closeted gay man, the truth was withheld from her. These two different experiences with truth (or lack thereof) have had a tremendous impact on how she defines truth and how very much she values it. In her personal pursuit of truth, she has learned that the greatest and most valuable source of truth comes from within. Aideen has also learned that there is a difference between lying and just not telling the truth and that the most difficult person to tell the truth to is oneself. Join Aideen as we being a new journey together In Pursuit of Truth!
