On Our Way Home

We share our recent personal conversations around body image insecurities and where they come from, along with being a bully to yourself and those you love. Hurt people, hurt people and sometimes we don't realize where our hurt comes from and who it affects. 

Join us for another Raw and Real Talk episode! We've been bogged down, drained, and just need to take a seat. Sometimes it's all you can do to show up and that's okay! We share where we are this week and what's current in our lives. We're reminded to always go back to gratitude.    www.onourwayhomepodcast.com   Instagram + Facebook: @oowhpodcast 

Be careful for what you wish for OR be intentional with what you pray for. Nicole flies solo on this one and talks about the difference between these two sayings. She shares her experience in listening for the right timing of things, trusting how the pieces fit and mindfully asking for what you want.

Tory shares her story with anxiety and how she's come to learn her triggers, what to do with them and the tools she uses to sit with anxiety instead of run away from it. She shares lessons from her childhood and how her journey has changed from shifting her perspective on seeing anxiety as a gift rather than a flaw. Although the topic is anxiety and anxiety attacks, many of these tools can be helpful for those who experience anxious moments, depression, anger, or any other high volume, dark moment, emotions. 

In Episode 42, Tory takes the mic and gives you an awareness assignment to prepare you for the next two episodes. Anxiety is a heavy topic and Tory is now considering her anxiety a gift! Be sure to listen in to find out just what your assignment is!

Practice your meditation! We're following up our last episode with a guided meditation. We hope you leave feeling grounded, content and calm. Nicole will guide you through a 30 minute beginner yoga sequence, meditation and you can find journal questions in the show notes, the True North Tribe or your email!   Sign up for our Newsletter!   Follow us on Instagram or Facebook @OOWHPODCAST

Breath is the grace of our being. It's the life force that keeps us going. So what's possible for us if we tune into it? We explain what meditation is, the misconceptions and assumptions, and give you tools, types and ideas on how to start a practice! We are encouraging listeners to take 5 minutes of quiet, or any other meditation type, after the episode ends!    Follow us on Instagram + Facebook: @oowhpodcast    

Happy 1 Year of On Our Way Home Podcast!! We're celebrating with another Raw + Real Talk episode. Before we dive deep into the feels, Tory shares the importance of having a lighthearted girls night and we check in with what's current in our lives. Nicole talks about the power of spiritual healing and her recent experience with depression and bad habits. Tory shares her struggles around keeping up with daily tasks and what happens when she falls off the wagon. We both face recurring lessons around habits and talk about how to create real change.

Tory shares the mic with her husband, Bobby, and they go over what their personality types (Myers-Briggs results) are and how they communicate within their relationship. They tell their story and share their personal take on how they view the world and what it looks like parenting will be (according to their personality type test results). Tory recaps on what the Myers-Briggs Personality Test is and it can help you learn more about yourself so that you can understand others behaviors as well. 

Our first guest ever on the podcast is Nicole's husband Sean! We talk about our individual personality types and how it's helped us better understand each other in terms of our motives, behaviors and desires. We both need different things when it comes to marriage and in order to get what we want from one another, we have to first know what it is that we need. 

"Why am I like this? Why do I do that?" When it comes to self reflection these questions come up a lot. We want to know why we are the way we are and sometimes it's hard to put the words together. Reading about your personality can help guide you to the words you need to address some of these questions and find the gifts within the things we sometimes see as problems. Like the Enneagram episode, we're using the all famous personality test to help better understand who we are as individuals, so we can function, relate and express ourselves confidently in our relationships, careers and friendships. We talk about what stood out the most in our own personality types and use it as a spark of growth and to help further our understanding rather than a true black and white map. 

If you ever wondered what our conversations actually sound like without notes or a plan, this is it! Welcome to our new cycling segment called Raw + Real Talk where it's just that. We have no notes or plan ahead of time, just real life conversation with where we're at mentally, spiritually and emotionally. This one ended up being about the big houseplant trend, how we as yoga teachers and yoga students handle farting in a yoga class, and our BIG IDEA on a 2020 hike and yoga women's retreat in Maine! There are mini lessons and mindful tools within, but mostly the raw and real side of our daily phone calls.      Instagram + Facebook: @oowhpodcast  

You HAVE to make time for good conversation. The kind like belly laughing until your mouth hurts from smiling so much and talking about inappropriate things. We get so caught up in creating the life we want that we don't spend enough time enjoying the one we have with the people that make us laugh. We're not taking ourselves seriously in this one! 

Nicole talks about what it means to have a relationship with inspiration when taking action on your ideas, dreams and ambitions. She draws from the mindset and ideas from Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert and delivers tools you can use to shift your mindset around living a creative life with inspiration. 

Tory is flying solo in this episode and talking all things gardening! Why I wanted one, how I did it, what I'll do differently this year, and SO MUCH MORE! It was my first garden last year in 2018 and I learned so much and I'm hear to share it with you. I didn't do everything the "right" way, I didn't follow Joanna Gaines example (even though I tried), and I didn't know what I was doing the whole time - but it worked!

Nicole and Tory talk about choosing your truth, being more than one thing and taking responsibility for the life you want to lead. They share their resistance, freedoms and lessons within a lifestyle that also doubles as a career choice.  They give tools and tips for those who work a 9-5, are stay at home moms, and entrepreneurs who are seeking harmony in their life, work and play. 

We’re talking about the barriers, mindset and mental shift in movement and exercise. We share our perspective on body image and how movement is part of our lifestyle and the top 3 barriers we face while in the process. 

This isn’t just for the moms and parents to be. This isn’t just for those who one day want to have kids. This is for everyone because everyone knows someone who’s had a kid or is having one.We want to share both sides of our stories, being a mom and best friend.We all bring our own traumas, triumphs, stories, experiences, perspectives, failure and breakthroughs but thought it was important to share some of the darker things no one really talks about within motherhood and specifically the HER in motherhood.     Follow us   Instagram:@oowhpodcast      Facebook: oowhpodcast       Sign up for our Newsletter!

We’re sharing our negative experiences that happened last week around the full moon, so I guess we’ll blame our negativity on that! We share our process, our turn-around time and the tools we used to move forward. Tory share's a series of events that happened over the weekend, including her truck getting stuck in the ditch and Nicole shares how she deals with DIY projects, stress and an uplifting experience she had at a restorative yoga class.   Sign up for our Newsletter!

We’re sharing our top 5 Light-Bulb moments. The ones that unexpectedly led us to being excited, empowered and open to receiving more in our own lives. We are going to share moments that shifted our perspective in such a dramatic way that it changed our way of being. We’ve shared a lot on HOW to have light-bulb moments and where to find them and now we want to share OURS with you. Instagram:@oowhpodcast    Facebook: oowhpodcast      Sign up for our Newsletter!

We all want to be seen, heard and recognized for all that we do; beyond the superficial compliments. Today we explore the tools we use to raise self awareness around giving and receiving compliments, giving someone recognition, as well as ourselves, and detaching from the "one-upping" types of conversations. We're asking questions around why we want to be recognized, how to go about it, and is it necessary for feeling whole?    Instagram:@oowhpodcast  Facebook: oowhpodcast    True North Tribe:Sign up for our Newsletter!

We’re talking about what it means to give something or someone your power. We’ve all heard the saying “where you attention goes your energy flows” so what are you actually paying attention to? Whether it’s a negative or a positive experience, it shifts our perspective on people, situations and our own inner dialogue. We define Power and provide tools on how to create the life you want.    Instagram: @oowhpodcast  Facebook: oowhpodcast    Sign up for our Newsletter!

You know the feeling. We all do it. Gossip reinforces community values and plays an important social role. Gossip brings togetherness to the people who play by the rules and exposes the behavior that goes against the valued norm. Nicole and Tory share how to use mindful tools within something that will never go away. It’s not your story to tell, but nonetheless, stories will be told. Can you use what you’re about to say as a lesson or mirror for yourself and share YOUR experience instead of lashing out on someone else? They talk about Brene Brown's Truth Vault, Common Enemy Intimacy and acting how you want to feel. Let's lead from a place of understanding, non-judgment and grace even in sticky situations like gossip. 

Nicole and Tory discuss the definition of Asteya, one of the 10 ethical practices of yoga, which means non-stealing. They talk about how it shows up in yoga classes, at home, in relationships, at work and practices you can use to bring more grace and understanding into your life. We steal from others, through competition and one-upping, and from ourselves by constantly rushing to the next thing. Don't steal possibility and power from yourself because of fear.     Follow us @oowhpodcast - Instagram + Facebook    

Last year we were all about discovering what our Truth was. This year we're standing in it. In this episode we check in with what's been going on with us the past 6 weeks, our new yoga teaching jobs and hit refresh on our intentions for the podcast. We talk about the book Braving The Wilderness by Brené Brown and what it means to stand in your Truth. 

The last part of the Mindfulness Mini series! We focus on how to set mindful New Years intentions, mindsets and goals that follow your True North. 

2nd episode of our 3 part Mindfulness Mini Series. The New Year means something different to everyone but at the same time there is this a similar feeling of “newness” and change that has to be made. In Part 2 we break down the tools on how to set the tone for your new resolution/goal and even if you don't have a New Years resolution or goal this can still be applied for any transition in your life. Part 2 is all about BEING in the transition, Part 3 will be the switch!   Follow us Instagram:@oowhpodcast  Facebook: oowhpodcast  Sign up for our Newsletter!

1st episode of our 3 part Mindfulness Mini Series. The New Year means something different to everyone but at the same time there is this a similar feeling of “newness” and change that has to be made. In this mini mindfulness series we’re going to break down our own take on New Year Resolutions, Transitions, Goal Setting, and how to step into your truth. We’re looking into how to set goals based on where you are now so that you have clarity on how to go forward. So OUR goal in this mini mindfulness series is to lay a foundation for any transition and establish a physical practice to compliment your mindfulness one.   Follow us Instagram:@oowhpodcast  Facebook: oowhpodcast  Sign up for our Newsletter!

We're always bringing mindfulness and awareness back to gratitude. In this episode we give you 3 ways to practice and make space for gratitude, be thankful for where you are and how to be grateful for challenging or difficult people. We give you 4 ways to start new conversations with authentic questions that intrigue the person you're talking to and opens the conversation past the boring small talk. 

Along with self talk, we all have an inner critic. The part of us that attached itself to a story, memory or experience and made us believe we can't be who we want to be. The inner critic is quick to stomp on our dreams and always has something to stay to stop us from moving forward. Tory and Nicole share their experience with their own inner critic, a memory it holds on to, and counter the crook with the best friend. They compliment the critic with self love and talk about why we need to start sharing what we love about ourselves out loud.    Follow us on Instagram and Facebook : @oowhpodcast Sign up for our newsletter :  Newsletter!

This is going to be more of an informational episode where we’re laying the foundation to a personality type structure that will help bring clarity to not only yourself, but how you connect with others. We’re using it as a tool to keep you aligned at True North. When you’re at your healthiest and highest level of development within the Enneagram you’re at True North, you’re home and aligned. When you’re further away from this center, you’re more driven by the ego.    Resources: Instagram:@oowhpodcast Facebook: oowhpodcast       Sign up for our Newsletter! https://www.enneagraminstitute.com/type-descriptions/ https://marshill.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Enneagram-Breakdown1.pdf

We’re talking all about communication. It’s the key to any relationship; whether it be with ourselves, each other, friends, family or co-workers. We’re breaking down nonviolent communication, self talk, and give you tools to shift the way you listen and speak in order to bring you back to your true self. We share our experiences with self talk in our working relationship, friendship, motherhood and what it means to observe our thoughts, un-identify from them, and come back to a place of grounding.    Follow us Instagram:@oowhpodcast  Facebook: oowhpodcast    Sign up for our Newsletter!

Surviving and thriving can live in harmony, it doesn't have to be one or the other. We talk about the Law of Averages and give you ways on how you can constantly show up and create harmony within the chaos of life. When you’re faced with hardship it can throw you off the tracks and makes you feel lost in the shuffle. It’s like when you’re walking a path and your feeling alive and something happens that rocks the boat; how do you keep going? “is this a survival moment or is this life that’s telling me to thrive?” What’s the difference? is it a choice? Is it one or the other or can they work in harmony as one?

We’re talking about all things yoga. We’re back on the mic together and we can’t believe we haven’t had a full episode dedicated to the one thing that empowered and gave us fuel to start our True North journey: yoga. We’ve sprinkled it in here and there but today we’re giving you the real deal. Yoga is the big umbrella which all of our episodes stem from and we want to share what it is, what it means to us, and how you can start or further your practice. It’s a door that opened us up to ourselves and our True North. Follow us Instagram:@oowhpodcast Facebook: oowhpodcast  Sign up for True North Tribe in our Newsletter! Show Notes Quote: "The purpose of all the religions is to give an individual an experience of their origin, and they generally agree that our origin is spirit. And therefore if you like the job of religion is to give people the experience of their spirit. It is always there, but it just may be dormant. And that's what yoga does, that’s why the yoga studios are so full, because the yoga studio gives a person a direct experience of their own inner light and it lights that fire for them" Netflix Documentary - Yoga: The Architecture of Peace Resources: Books -The Yamas & Niyamas  |  Living Your Yoga Tadasana Alignment - Nicole’s Blog  Documentary- Why We Breathe   Nicole's Website - www.freetomoveyoga.net Tory's Website - www.toryoga.com

Nicole shares her process through setting expectations, dealing with resistance, letting emotions flow, and how to take the next step forward. It’s easy to lose inspiration when in a time or transition. Sometimes the body, mind and heart whisper what it wants or needs and a lot of the time we don’t listen. It might take a little darkness in order see the stars and that can feel like a low point when really, it’s a transition. Nicole explains her connection with the moon, her heart and her current state of mind and how they come together to reveal new light. Learn to be patient with your process, allow change to occur naturally, reflect and appreciate where you are now, instead of trying to create and push for something new.

In Episode 11 we're hearing only from Tory as Nicole is FINALLY on her honeymoon! Tory's received several questions regarding what lead her to her practice and how it's transformed both physically on the mat as well as off the mat, where it's taken her, and just what living in a state of Yoga is rather than just practicing it on the mat.

In Episode 10 we're taking a step back from the deep self-growth talk and stepping towards a glass of wine! We're explaining how we're morning people & what steps help us get up and going, how we're a reflection to each other's professions, and WHY yoga is the answer to all questions we get asked or ask ourselves. 

Today we’re shifting our perspective on what it means to see your reflection in others. Everyone in your life is a mirror. The people you surround yourself with are excellent reminders of the things you like or dislike about yourself. We don’t always like what we see, so how can we use these mirrors as lessons instead of reacting to our reflections? What can we learn about ourselves when we feel jealous and competitive towards someone or irritated and annoyed at the actions of others? Where your energy goes, your attention flows.

In this week’s episode we revisit our purpose. We share with you how we recognize our own light, what jealousy and competition has taught us and how we’ve been able to stay awake through it all. If you’re someone who is curious, passionate and driven to improve yourself and have all of this information but don’t know how to take action, we’re right there with you. If you ever feel like you’re stuck and don’t know how to move forward, maybe it’s because there's a light that’s turning on. Something is waking up and this is what’s leading you towards your true north. In this episode were opening our toolbox and bringing light to what it means to wake up, become aware and take action.

You know the saying "there's no 'I' in team?" Although we agree with that, for the purpose of our topic we're adding an 'I'. We’re talking all about marriage and how the role as a partner shaped us to be strong individuals! Don’t get us wrong, we’re not here to give advice, but rather share our experience on how we stay true to ourselves and our true north while growing up, living it out and being in a relationship with someone who’s on a completely different path.

We’re walking through the doors of opportunity, doing the work and showing up exactly as we are; uncut, unfiltered and ready. This week is all about the choice you make when you walk up to the doors, and that’s any door...actual or metaphorical; are you walking through to show up for yourself or are you there to show up for others? Nicole and Tory share their experience with vulnerability, their inner critic and how they show up when all they want to do is lay on the couch.

Nicole and Tory talk all about managing your time so that it becomes embedded into your lifestyle; rather than waiting until life stacks too high on your shoulders to start. We're digging into our toolbox on how we manage life, work, motherhood, creativity, family and making sure the laundry gets somewhat folded.  Before we can move forward with the "how" we have to take a look at where we are in the first place. This is where "selling the goat", "shit sandwiches" and "dropping the other shoe" all come into play. We've taken our favorite life lessons and inquisitions and turned them into daily practices. We also include 10 tips on how to mange your time in a real-life way that is sustainable and, of course, can be altered to suite your lifestyle. The number 1 rule is you must get to know what works for you and your life for time management to really work.    Show Notes: Follow us: Instagram.com/oowhpodcast Facebook.com/oowhpodcast Newsletter: Sign up here!

Nicole and Tory talk all about how to create self-empowerment when there is something bigger than you as the driving force of your life. They're going to share their experience as a military spouse and how to be a rock-star passenger when something bigger takes the wheel. Something we’re all guaranteed to experience is change. So this one's all about finding freedom and how to step into your own power within the noise of life. Hear how grounding yourself, finding movement and finding your tribe sets you up for a good ride.

Being able to come to the place where you enjoy the ride. You have to be proactive and interact with the driver. You can’t take the wheel either or it leads to a destructive relationship. But you can still make suggestions and dictate the drive a little bit. You’re still apart of decisions. Empowerment came through routine, movement and tribe. There’s a transition period when you a enter a new stage of life. Excavation Questions: What makes you feel comfortable? What keeps you from going into new territory? What makes you feel like home? Is it setting your physical space? Discovering your the area around you? Do you recognize when you are in a rut? When you do, how do you speak to yourself? How have you reacted to change in the past? How do you like to move your body? What kind of community do you see yourself in? What do your friendships look like now? What do you want in a friendship?   Books we LOVE:The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up - Marie Kondo The Four Agreements - Don Miguel Ruiz

Watch I Am The Greatest speech here!   Holding Space: Basically you put down the wall, take down the guard, and listen. That’s it. Listening is one of the hardest things to learn. We’re constantly waiting to get in the next word; to have the last word; we’re thinking about what we’re going to say WHILE the other person is talking. So holding space and non-violent communication is allowing the person you’re talking with to have the room, to speak freely and know that they’re being listened to. As the person holding space your perspective might be challenged. So how can you respond, instead of react? How can you stay grounded in my truth, in what you believe in, and come from a place of understanding?   Shift Your Perspective: How can you be open in the way you look at life, a situation or conversation? When we shift the way we think, it doesn't mean we give up what we believe in. Instead we allow some new light to be shed on our pre-existing ideas.  Stand In Your Truth: Communicating from a place of honesty and upholding your core values. How can you share your experience while staying both grounded and receptive? You’re not trying to prove your truth, you’re just communicating from that place. Maybe this new perspective enhances your truth and makes it stronger, or it makes more room for other truths. The Driver: I love the idea about being the driver and the passenger. I think it’s something we can all relate to because at one time or another, most of us have been a driver and most of us have been a passenger. As the driver there is a lot of responsibility and attention. Being the driver of a conversation, situation or stance in life doesn't mean being aggressive, controlling or dominating. It means there is an opportunity to come from a place of inspiration, empowerment and motivation.  The Passenger: You can't control what you can't control. Being the passenger of a conversation, situation or place in life, doesn't mean being passive or submissive. Instead you come from a place of understanding, trust, attention and compassion while staying grounded in what you believe in.  We're All On Our Way Home: What does 'On Our Way Home' mean? It means we're all trying to reach that place in our lives that feels whole, balanced, centered, honest and true. It's the place where we feel most aligned, full of joy, and like ourselves. 

In this episode Nicole and Tory talk all about True North and the role that Fear plays on your journey to center. You’ll find out the definition of True North, Fear, and how the two actually connect! Putting it into perspective, Nicole + Tory share their own relationships with these aspects in life as well as guide you through a visualization and breathing meditation at the end!    Find us on Instagram!

They’ll even be delivered straight to your inbox every FRIDAY morning: http://eepurl.com/dsjXO1   Books we mention/LOVE:Being of Power by Baron Baptiste:  40 Days to Your Personal Revolution by Baron Baptiste:    Show Notes Free Downloads : True North Guide & Visualization Meditation Fear Definition: The uncertainty of the unknown; you're not afraid of the dark, you're afraid of what's in it. It's not the contrast of light, it's the unknowing, the things your mind creates, you're afraid of what you don't know, and you don't know what you don't know. Fear creates stress which in small doses is beneficial because it keeps you grounded and focused but if you let it consume you it could destroy you. True North Definition: The actual definition of True North is "North according to the earth's axis, not magnetic north." Magnetic north pulls the needle of the compass to the direction that isn't accurate. If you look at a compass and it points north, it isn't necessarily true, because the earth's magnetic poles are not fixed. This applies to us as well. Our true north is not necessarily what we have at face value. We're given an idea of what we're supposed to be attracted to, i.e. gossip, materialism, things we don’t need, image, status, income, and these things pull us further away from our true north, the things that make us feel whole, actualized, energized. Our true north is the real measure of success and these things, the magnetic north, pulls us away from the direction we should be going according to our heart and inspiration. It's not to say magnetic north isn't important. You can use this to find your true north, but you have to remember that there is a balance, they work together. How they connect: True North & Fear ride together in the same vehicle while on the same journey. It is so important to see this distinction and that it’s never one or the other. By turning on the light to your True North you’re unveiling the Fear that rides along with it. Instead of turning away when fear shows up, we can use it as a tool to manifest our dreams. We can use it as a way to dive deeper into the way we operate when push comes to shove. Fear can have a voice that says “Are you sure you want to do this?” and maybe it will have some good points. It can also say “you’re not qualified for this” so maybe that pushes you to grab more information. Fear can have a voice, but the only thing it can’t do, is drive.
