We agree that expectations are a path to disappointment and share some ways that we can drop those expectations and instead create space for ourselves to feel what we feel: gratitude, support, and self love are at the top of the list. What practices do you turn to that help you stay grounded and present? For more information about the offerings from V L'Bassi Transformational Coaching, you can find the links here:Schedule a free 3-card reading!Try a mini coaching session!For more details, visit Vee's website.

This week we're talking about calibrating your own inner compass. We start with this: where is the potential disconnect between how we intend to be and how others perceive us to be?

This week, Vee and Pam share our thoughts on hope in times of difficulty. When life feels dark and uncertain, it's easy to lose sight of hope. Yet it's always available to us, like the sun behind the clouds. We talk about the fact that life is not always great or even okay - challenges and struggle come to each of us. The point is not to avoid these dips in the path, but rather to decide how we want to show up when they occur. This week's big question is:  what does hope feel like for you and how does it call you to action?

We're digging in deeper and continuing our conversation about Living BIG, with boundaries, integrity, and generosity.  As Jim so eloquently put it, "...it's not necessarily something that's instinctual or comfortable...

This week, we're continuing to dig into Brene Brown's concept of Living BIG - with boundaries, integrity, and generosity. Pam and Vee ask the question: is everyone doing their best? We share our own past experiences with judgment of others, which (surprise!) has really been about judging ourselves. We talk about giving our best when we're not at our best. Here's the thing: recognizing and accepting our own capacity, with honesty and grace, can be the turning point that allows us to see ourselves, and everyone, more clearly and compassionately.

This week, we're talking about living BIG, an acronym borrowed from Brene Brown's work and her book, "Rising Strong." Vee and Pam talk about what it really takes to create change in our lives, and relate the BIG acronym - boundaries, integrity, generosity - to our discussion last week about Pam's experiences in the month of January. The bottom line: doing this work is WORK, and when we can give ourselves generosity, it impacts us and those around us.

Especially when we feel good, it's easy to fall into old patterns - but at what cost? Expectations, emotions, actions and interactions can all pull at our energy until before we know it, we're drained. Then we're less than our best, and we snap or crack or withdraw. How can we stop this cycle? By boosting our capacity through self care and awareness, lowering expectations to realistic levels, and staying tuned in to how we're caring for ourselves. This week, Pam and Vee share some experiences and insights around expectations and awareness.

This week we're wrapping up our series on joy. Vee and Pam talk about simple pleasures and cultivating joy by consciously choosing more of what makes us feel, well,  joyful. We offer some of Brene Brown's writing on joy from her book, "Atlas of the Heart,"  and some of Byron Katie's work around truth and honesty. Ultimately, we talk about trusting ourselves enough to take the risk of joy.  We hope you enjoy this week's conversation!For more information about the offerings from V L'Bassi Transformational Coaching, you can find the links here:Schedule a free 3-card reading!Try a mini coaching session!For more details, visit Vee's website.

This week we begin by sharing moments of joy from the past week! Then Vee and Pam talk about our experiences with toxic positivity, not from others but from within ourselves. We share the phrases we used that had good intentions and still were insensitive and misleading. Constant forced positivity can be a bypass to addressing our own growth. And pretending that joy is all there is can lead us to believe we're broken if we can't attain or sustain that level of happiness. So what's the difference between positivity and joy? Positivity is a tool that helps us cultivate joy within ourselves, and when used in moderation it can guide us to a life more fully and joyfully lived. For more information about the offerings from V L'Bassi Transformational Coaching, you can find the links here:Schedule a free 3-card reading!Try a mini coaching session!For more details, visit Vee's website.

This week Pam and Vee are continuing the conversation about joy. Vee shares some of her first experiences in understanding that it's possible to reclaim our joy, and that it's a conscious decision to do so. She talks about some of the ways that she began to offer this work to help women start to unravel the stories they were carrying. These shifts have led women to reclaim their joy and, ultimately, their power. And Vee and Pam share thoughts about the question: who would you be without your story?To find the work of Byron Katie, mentioned in this episode, you can find her website here.

This week, Vee and Pam start an ongoing conversation about cultivating joy. Vee talks about her exploration of reclaiming joy and how it relates to our power of choice. She shares experiences with grief and anger that let to learning how to forgive. She offers the idea that we can make room for joy by allowing ourselves to feel the full spectrum of emotions. Ultimately, joy is never lost to us - it can get buried by life, and by seeking it out we can choose to reclaim our joy. For more information about the offerings from V L'Bassi Transformational Coaching, you can find the links here:Schedule a free 3-card reading!Try a mini coaching session!For more details, visit Vee's website.

When you hear the phrase, "skating by," what do you picture? Olympic level ice dancing? Sidewalk skateboarding? Rollerblading on the boulevard? Okay - but what if we're talking about you, or about me, and we don't know how to skate? Sometimes, "skating by" means barely making it, holding on tight and hoping for the best. This week, Pam and Vee talk about what it feels like to do what we need, even what it's not what we want.

We're wrapping up our series on practical self love. If you haven't heard our earlier conversations on this, please go back to episode 81 from October 14th and start there. When does 2+2=0? When we believe our goal is endless perfection. The relentless pressure of perfectionism leaves very little room for joy and instead creates a breeding ground for self judgment and sadness. This week Pam and Vee talk about our struggles with perfectionism and the ways we've learned the art of nuance. Pam shares the third tool that helped her on her own journey of self love. If you take away one piece from this conversation, please take this: practicing our own self love leads to more active participation in life, and even better, it leads to our own freedom.For more information about the offerings from V L'Bassi Transformational Coaching, you can find the links here:Schedule a free 3-card reading!Try a mini coaching session!For more details, visit Vee's website.

We reflect on shame and the inner critic, and how we cover these up and put a good face on our struggles. One thing to remember: others can offer us support and guidance along the way, and this is ultimately a highly personalized journey for each of us.

This week we're talking about embracing an enormous change that we've all experienced in the past few years. The pandemic has changed all of our lives in ways we haven't fully grasped yet. When will we get “back to normal”..? We won't. We have all been changed by this, even if our subconscious hasn't yet caught up to this fact. Pam and Vee reflect on how people have adapted and how old patterns still pop up in times of fear and uncertainty. We share some of the ways we've taken careful steps forward, with patience and grace.
