Are you putting an unnecessary ceiling on your possibilities? Or have you made a story, consciously or sub-consciously, that has kept you small? Does a comment from the past prevent you from expressing yourself? In my work with clients over the years, as well as in my own life, it is so common to see someone existing under a ceiling of sorts. It's so sneaky that you might not even realize that it's there. It's very easy to accidentally ride along with limitations. Today, we bring that awareness to the fore, and we talk about how to remove the barriers that are keeping you from living out the things that mean the most to you. It is my PASSION for us all to be freed from unnecessary criticism, unfair marginalization and anything else that has kept our voices and expression small - so that this world will be more beautiful, more brilliant, more empathetic, more loving and more "anything-that-makes-you-uniquely-you"

Does living in an evaluative culture ever cause you to self-sabotage or to fear failure? Today we talk about how important it is to release the oppression of judgment and find ways to move into spaces of safety and freedom. This is Part 13 in our "Being Coached From Afar" series.

Today Health Coach Alison Scott is back to talk about a subject that we're both very passionate about. In our society, it can be so easy to accidentally fall into the trap of judging our bodies.

We approach this conversation with reverence for these beautiful incarnations and also with an acknowledgement of how hard it can be to live in a society that heralds an impossible beauty standard. We send you our support and a deep bow to that beautiful body that is yours. About Alison M.

Do you ever worry about what people might think of you?  As humans, it's so important to feel like we belong.Today we talk about how important it is to find people with whom you can be real.In a somewhat meta way, we have a vulnerable conversation about how valuable it is to find places where you can  really be yourself - where you don't have to wear any sort of mask. I'm so excited and grateful to have Coach Laura Russell on the podcast today. She is one of the realest people I know. Laura Russell is the creator of the (Un)Self-Help Happiness Method, which is a unique blend of science, psychology, and spirituality designed with the mission of helping you integrate the sh*t you've been collecting from the pile of books on your nightstand. So you can get out of your head, heal your inner blocks, and start living on your terms, even in the messy middle.  She's been a Certified Life Coach for almost 5 years and most known for helping her clients manage the sticky thoughts, feelings, and emotions holding them back from the changes they crave in their lives. Within her coaching, she will be your soft place to land, as you navigate the fears and emotions that surface on your journey to love yourself.As a human, she's a long-time single working mom very familiar with the juggle and chaos. Most recently you'll find her navigating her own messy middle as she's discovering what it's like to have a solid healthy relationship for the first time in her adult life (as well as figuring out what she wants her career to be like now that her kids are older teens and don't need her as much). Hello, LOTS OF TRIGGERS! She's obsessed with k-dramas, bouncing between reading cheesy YA and self-help books and getting out in nature to decompress.Ways to Connect with Laura Russell (she/her):Instagram: @joyfuluprisingHappiness Activation - RADICAL (one-time use 50% off forever for podcast listeners)Ways to connect with Sas (she/her):Instagram: @lori_saseSign up for her newsletter or find out about coaching: https://www.lorisase.comSupport the show

In my drive across the United States, I observed an unlikely ritual to honor my Mom (with a nod to my Dad and Grandma also). This week, I wanted to invite whomever it is that you are remembering into our space too. Whom are you honoring today? And how can we honor them? What remembrances have they left, and how do you hear their voice? I want to bring so much care and gratitude to those whom you love. I wish you many blessings.

As I drive across the United States, the first questions I want to bring forward have to do with transitions. Sometimes, if we don't give our thoughts the space to breathe, we can miss some very intelligent messages coming from our own inner knowing.

It's funny how the seeming power that insecurities have over us can melt away when we are kinder and more gentle with ourselves. This is such an important discussion because insecurities hold even the most successful and well-loved people back from expressing their lives fully. Today Kat Jackson and I speak about our own insecurities. Through this openhearted and somewhat vulnerable conversation, we wanted to show that what seems like insecurities to some are really just a relatable part of being human. Realizing that the things we fear do not have to hold shame, we are released to pursue the things that we really want to and to reclaim the parts of ourselves that have been held back. I hope you find this episode as touching and uplifting as I did - as always, you have our belief and support. Kat Jackson is a proud single mom.

Join us as we explore the concept of feeling a compilation of emotions, where contrasting feelings can coexist within us simultaneously. Have you ever felt really excited, happy or hopeful about something, but at the same time you also found yourself feeling sad or blah?Today, Kat Jackson and I discuss the importance of giving yourself permission to have coexisting emotions and to honor the integrity of each.It can be really confusing if we're not mindful of what's going on under the surface.

Today Avi Styskal and I talk about being clear on what you believe and what matters to you - even in the face of differing or opposing opinions.  I think that can be tricky especially in the landscape of our world where there are so many differing voices. It can even be intimidating to try to speak your own mind. Do you ever find it troublesome to share what you believe? Or do you ever get weighed down by the contentious social media conversations? Perhaps, sometimes it's prudent not to say something. Or maybe we have a vision for change but find it difficult to speak up. We each bring such different perspectives and experiences, and that is so incredibly valuable.Avi shares from a deep resonance of love. In this interview, she talks about the challenges of speaking up for what you believe in, while also how vital it is to do so. As you listen to this episode, I invite you to search for what you believe. Even in the face of some differing opinions, what is it that really matters to you?  We hope for a world that has more love, and that is at the very heart of this episode.  Avishe' (Avi) Styskal  (she/her)Wife, Mother, and Kinley & Styskal Lawyers Office Director, a family businessA wife and mom of 3 with 20 years of business management experience and a bachelor of science in game design and animationGrowing up as an Iranian-American female in Irvine, California, Avi has had a very colorful life thus far.Born in Tehran, Iran in 1983, Avi and her family moved to Beverly Hills, CA in 1985 when she was only two years old.

One way to think of confirmation bias is the tendency to find new evidence to confirm our existing beliefs, opinions or theories. It can be quite natural to do this, but the problem comes when we subconsciously confirm damaging comments from the past in ways that keep us silent or small. Today, Leslie Page and I are here to discuss how to consciously separate out the truth and consider other beliefs so that you can find freedom and no longer be bound by old narratives and criticisms. It can be quite a nuanced space to understand and undo, but this is absolutely possible and incredibly empowering. Leslie Page is a professional singer, songwriter and music and dance teacher.

After last week's discussion, Leslie Page and I felt it important to talk even more deeply into the terrain of things that might hold you back from sharing your gifts. All too often, we can keep something in the realm of hypothetical thinking and never fully explore or realize the ideas that are calling to us. Last week, we asked you to explore your gifts and to consider what was calling to you when it came to contributing to the lives of others or to the world. This week, we are going to take a deeper look into the things that may be holding you back from expression and contribution. We talk about ways to dismantle the things that can unnecessarily hold you back from sharing your talents, your voice, your experiences, your insights and anything else that might be calling you to come forth. We continue to imagine a world where everyone feels free enough to actualize their uniqueness. Leslie Page is a professional singer, songwriter and music and dance teacher.

I had one of those really hard weeks - where just when you think nothing else could go wrong, something else does. Even when you know that tough times will pass, sometimes they can really shake you up. All of this reminded me of the importance of being able to come home, both literally and metaphorically. That's the topic of this week's episode.Where do you turn when you feel unsteadied or overwhelmed? What does home mean to you? And how can we create and nurture places that allow us to feel held, be known and remember what is true?

As important and empowering as it is to go after your dreams, it's also so valuable to live your life in the ways that you want to experience it.Today, I wanted to do a check in to see if there's anything that may, even unknowingly, be stealing your happiness. I'm not talking about forced positivity or shallow happiness, as I believe that all emotions are valid and to be honored. This is more about how sometimes unnecessary heaviness could prevent you from enjoying the day as much as you deserve to.

Do you ever find that you're stuck, resistant, avoidant or hesitant to move into something? It's my belief that there's a fundamental shift that is often quite vital to make in order to feel freer in your decisions and less fearful or guarded in your pursuits. Too many choices are left unmade, too much art is abandoned and too many things are left unsaid. I am so passionate about your actualization. You have my full belief and support.
