Showing Up Human

How can we best support ourselves to move through challenging decisions that feel as though our life has been thrown upside down? This topic felt so vast that we decided we needed to split it into two. Part 1 is about dealing with instances or situations that make decisions FOR you. That knock you off balance and force you to adjust to a new normal. We explore the emotional stages that take place and share our experiences candidly in the hope that you’ll find some solace in the fact this this is a part of our shared human experience.

How is it that we can feel really solid in ourselves one minute and then feel like the rug has been completely pulled the next?   You know, "self-esteem" and "self-worth" are phrases that are thrown around A LOT. We might even feel that we have those things figured out. And yet.   In the quiet moments, in our own thoughts (especially during such uncertain, untethered times), we can sometimes start to feel a little less solid.   Why is it that our confidence seemingly disappears?   And how can we work on feeling more whole, grounded and worthy more often?   The book mentioned is "Recovery of Your Inner Child: The Highly Acclaimed Method for Liberating Your Inner Self" by Lucia Capacchione

We're back after a lengthy and mostly unplanned break!   And we wanted to speak to what comes up in crisis and how that shows up in different ways for different people.   This is a timely episode that’s mostly about giving yourself permission and compassion when shit hits the fan.   Please reach out if there’s anything we can do to support you.

Kim and Sas just wanted to connect and touch base on a few things (and also explain the unexpected delay for Season 2). References in this episode: A page with links to Kim's music - 'Molasses' by ARYA KAY  Please email us at showinguphuman@gmail.com

Are we stuck with parts of our personality that we’re not all that fond of? Can we change the way we react to situations or circumstances in our lives? Has someone’s voice of criticism become a permanent part of our story? Is what we identify as set in stone or do we have the power to shift any of it?  Kim and Sas continue to probe these questions, but this time talk about how we can take back power, change our expectations, shift into different actions, and create better results for our lives. This is a wrap for Season 1 with Part 2 of 2 about neural retraining. If you haven't listened to Part 1, it's worth listening to that episode first (link below). https://www.showinguphuman.com/podcast/10   References in this episode: https://www.showinguphuman.com/podcast/9 Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself by Joe Dispenza Brooke Castillo's website and podcast Tony Robbins' website Lisa Nichols' website Annie Hopper's Dynamic Neural Retraining System  The Gupta Programme

Are we stuck with parts of our personality that we’re not all that fond of? Can we change the way we react to situations or circumstances in our lives? Has someone’s voice of criticism become a permanent part of our story? Is what we identify as set in stone or do we have the power to shift any of it?  Sas and Kim wrap up Season 1 with Part 1 of 2 about neural retraining, looking at how much of who we are and how we behave are hardwired into our brains from repetition. So what could change in your life if you were able to catch these habits (and label them as such) and potentially make choices that feel better aligned to who you want to be now? https://www.showinguphuman.com/podcast/9   References in this episode: Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself by Joe Dispenza Brooke Castillo's coaching video Annie Hopper's Dynamic Neural Retraining System  The Gupta Programme

The word 'success' can so often be entangled with titles, expectations, comparisons and fear. In this episode Sas and Kim try to separate what we feel we SHOULD do to succeed from what feels right for us and all the challenges that come from straying from the path others expect. Why is defining success on our own terms important and how can we start to make choices that align with this?   https://www.showinguphuman.com/podcast/8   References in this episode: Overcoming Childhood video by The School of Life Kim's book 'The Moderately Tortured Artist'

Sas and Kim struggled through an uncomfortable but necessary podcast, especially needed at this point in time. You've probably been hurt, misunderstood, or offended and/or have accidentally stepped on someone's toes, judged them unfairly, or argued with someone close to you over what you believe is right.  How can we foster more connection and discussion around the beliefs and ideas that divide us while still showing up authentically and staying true our convictions.    https://www.showinguphuman.com/podcast/7   References in this episode: Earth is Hiring by Peta Kelly Before the Flood by Leonardo DiCaprio

In our society we unfortunately often don’t allow space for difficult emotions. In this episode Sas and Kim explore how we can pause and encourage ourselves and others to express and process these losses and why this is so important. Pushing through and staying strong can mean burying pain with it getting stuck in our bodies. Are you listening to your heart when grief hits as to what you need in order to move through it? https://www.showinguphuman.com/podcast/6   References in this episode: The Wild Edge of Sorrow by Francis Weller Francis Weller retreats The Problem of Pain and A Grief Observed by C.

It's almost oxymoronic when we consider the extreme value of time paired with our inclination to waste it. With subtle gravitas, as well as with levity, Kim and Sas consider how we can make better choices with regard to time. https://www.showinguphuman.com/podcast/5   References in this episode: How to Prioritize: One Tip That Does It All - YouTube video by Marie Forleo Peta Kelly Danielle Laporte - The Desire Map

Do you ever feel like the serious pressures and routines of the day keep you from experiencing the fullness of life? Have the notions of wonder, joy, creativity, and fun taken a backseat to an overly sensible, laborious and busy lifestyle? In this episode Sas and Kim discuss just how important it is to have elements of PLAY in our adult lives. They look at what might be inhibiting play and how we can go about reclaiming these enjoyable and vital life experiences. https://showinguphuman.com/podcast/4   References in this episode: Tales of Creativity and Play - Ted Talk by Tim Brown  Healing the Shame that Binds You by John Bradshaw Saving Mr Banks Elf        

Kim and Sas go rogue! Instead of proceeding with the intended topic, they decided to just hit “record” and vulnerably discuss the emotions and insecurities that were unexpectedly cropping up amidst launching this podcast. They affectionately call this the “raw episode.” https://showinguphuman.com/podcast/3

Today Kim and Sas take on another big topic and discuss what a genuine, connected relationship looks like. They discuss how valuable it can be to step into the messy waters of life with one another, how beautiful it can be to be seen within raw vulnerability, and how we can start to foster truer friendships and relationships. https://showinguphuman.com/podcast/2 

Kim and Sas delve into the importance of living authentically, why we might make ourselves smaller in order to please others, and how to reclaim the passions and the parts of ourselves that we may have folded away.  https://showinguphuman.com/podcast/1
