When we're getting to know people, and even when relating with people we know well, it's a natural tendency to project our subconscious beliefs onto them and the situation — that is, to make sense of what's happening by referring to our previous life experience and making assumptions accordingly. It's only by being in the moment, and noticing the feedback our regulated bodies give us, that we can interrupt our stories, fears and egos to really be with each other.In today's episode, we talk about some of our past meaning-making in relationships, the evolution we've experienced so far, and the tools we've used to gain presence and clarity in every moment."Like finding gold." - Alma W."The best therapy I've ever done for myself." - Sanjeev B.Join our monthly membership for LIVE calls & practice:http://bit.ly/4eF86reGet our Self-Compassionate Body-Based Toolkit:https://bit.ly/40Vnz3b************************************************************************Every episode begins and ends with a body-based self-connection practice, so you can grow your capacity to be with all that life brings.

It's easy to judge ourselves against others when it comes to how we keep our homes — why can't I keep my place as clean as so-and-so, when we're both equally busy? (Or vice versa.) We're quick to find ourselves lacking and others superior (and vice versa.) The feelings and stories that comprise these judgments are wealth of information for self-discovery and a great opportunity to practice compassion, within and without.In today's episode we explore the judgments we know you have, about yourself and others, exploring the causes and effects of the beliefs we carry and the choices that result.

We all disconnect and dissociate at various times and to varying degrees, depending on what life brings us and how we've learned to cope. Trying out different methods to bring ourselves back to physical reality is a wonderful practice for being in the now moment, and discovering how to create a supportive environment for our systems, inside and out. In today's episode we walk you through a simple self-connection and self-support practice, and talk about out own connection to our physical bodies and the spaces (and relationships) we inhabit.

Depending on how you're wired, you might be inclined to point the finger outward — or inward — when things go wrong, when you're startled, or when plans don't turn out as expected. And when things go right? You'll have different wiring there too — you might credit some planetary alignment, or some choices and actions you took, or something else altogether. We all express a range of beliefs and behaviours around our own agency, and these are useful to explore.In today's episode we talk about our own past and current patterns when it comes to giving credit and assigning blame, and simple ways we've found power in the compassionate discovery of our internal experiences."Like finding gold." - Alma W."The best therapy I've ever done for myself." - Sanjeev B.Join our monthly membership for LIVE calls & practice:http://bit.ly/4eF86reGet our Self-Compassionate Body-Based Toolkit:https://bit.ly/40Vnz3b************************************************************************Every episode begins and ends with a body-based self-connection practice, so you can grow your capacity to be with all that life brings.

When crisis strikes and we're startled or scared, it's a very natural human response to forget everything we've learned to do in such scenarios, and to freeze instead. Then, in the aftermath, we can be so hard on ourselves — about how we ought to have acted, and how quickly we ought to “return to normal”. In today's episode we propose a compassionate approach instead, and taking your time to feel and integrate scary experiences.

Noticing moments of love and care when times are (or were) hard, is a powerful tool for expansion and self-soothing. With that aim, it's a gift to ourselves to feel the sensations of loving care in the moment or in memory — to feel them in the body and hang out there for a spell. And it's yet another gift to feel the sensations of simply knowing that love and care are/were available. In today's episode we share some personal examples and show you how you can find more love and good feelings, even through the hard stuff."Like finding gold." - Alma W."The best therapy I've ever done for myself." - Sanjeev B.Join our monthly membership for LIVE calls & practice:http://bit.ly/4eF86reGet our Self-Compassionate Body-Based Toolkit:https://bit.ly/40Vnz3b************************************************************************Every episode begins and ends with a body-based self-connection practice, so you can grow your capacity to be with all that life brings.

If our inner monologues were body builders, most of us would have a super buff heavyweight in the doubt- & fearmongering department — with glistening, throbbing muscles built over a lifetime. But which weight class would you find in your joy & simple contentment department, or your department of celebrating success & accomplishments? Most often, these are the muscles we need to grow to make life feel better. In today's episode we give some attention to these muscles, and to enhancing our response patterns to the ups and downs of life & love.

We're mostly wired (aka conditioned or programmed) to retain, rehash and focus on the hard and painful aspects of life events, both past and present. What might happen if we paid some attention to the moments of loving care we encountered during these times? Putting focus here and feeling the sensations in your body can be a huge relief, and can transform your experiences in life and relationships.

Life inventories can be overwhelming and tend to focus on the negatives: things that aren't feeling good, with the pressure of needing to change them. Instead of asking what's going wrong, we explore what is and isn't working for us, and where we're seeing positive change already — this compassionate reframe moves us away from the shame of shoulds, and toward loving inspiration.In today's episode we go through three easy prompts with a series of examples from our own lives, past and present, and walk you through how you can lovingly inspire yourself with these simple self-reflections."Like finding gold." - Alma W."The best therapy I've ever done for myself." - Sanjeev B.Join our monthly membership for LIVE calls & practice:http://bit.ly/4eF86reGet our Self-Compassionate Body-Based Toolkit:https://bit.ly/40Vnz3b************************************************************************Every episode begins and ends with a body-based self-connection practice, so you can grow your capacity to be with all that life brings.

Coming off of autopilot and stepping into deeper agency in your life & relationships presents many amazing opportunities.

There are so many baby steps on a healing journey — and so many lessons we have to learn over and over again.

In the first chunk of life, we learn how to get by based on worldviews and patterns of people around us — and we come to assume their ways are our ways too. But often, they aren't, and we need to find our own path. By now, you might know what you truly value, and still find that old conditioning is manifesting different values in your patterns of feeling, connection, and behaviour. This is where body connection and compassionate self-inquiry can help you find your way. "Like finding gold." - Alma W. "The best therapy I've ever done for myself." - Sanjeev B.

Trying to force a fit is a natural response to our human need for love and connection — it's also an integral part of learning what fits. As we hone our self-awareness over time and discover our preferences, it's worthwhile to feel into what's fitting well in our lives and relationships, and what could fit better. In today's episode we use Georgianna's experience with a broken snowboarding boot and her search for new ones as an analogy for relationship, and we talk about how to source your body to find what feels like a fit and what doesn't.

It's easy to get overwhelmed with shoulds, needs, wants and want-to-wants. It's easy too, to respond with action overdrive, or total shutdown.

Longing can be a source of depression or excitement — it can inspire or debilitate, depending on your story (i.e. your past, your present, and how you experience sensations in your body). With practice, you can find tremendous energy your longings, and harness it in helpful ways. In today's episode, we talk about our old feelings about longing — informed heavily by unrequited love and not being chosen — and the new, nicer-feeling feelings we've grown into with simple practice.

At some point in our lives, most of us learn to say yes when we mean no, and vice versa. In learning not to over- or under-give, we discover how to honour our needs, and how to show up for what moves us even when it seems like a good day to stay in bed.

Growing up, we learn “how things are”; getting older, we learn there a million ways other than the ones we know. This holds true for most of our unexamined beliefs about the world — and when we feel overwhelmed, lost, or restricted in our lives and relationships, that can be a sign it's time to turn on the curiosity and open up to new possibilities. In today's episode, we walk through reframing a concept that had Steph stymied, and how she came to think of it in a way that felt less overwhelming and immobilizing, and more empowering and true.

These days we all know about limiting beliefs: those stories we carry that hold us back, keep us from speaking or acting our purpose, and block our potential and our deepest desires. But which are true, and which are just stories or old family lore? Exploring this is key when it comes to unlimiting yourself in life and love.

As with most of life, that which we believe to be a waste of time is learned and conditioned in us from a young age. What feels good or bad when it comes to being productive, to resting, to maximizing efficiency (or not) is totally subjective, with endless options. Examining your current beliefs in these areas is useful if you want to feel more ease and spaciousness in your life and relationships. In today's episode, we talk about things we used to think were a waste of time which we now find valuable for reasons we couldn't conceive of then — high ROI time-wasters like pausing, slowing down, resting, and making space for silence and creativity. ************************************************************************ Every episode comes with prompts for journaling and reflection.

We all have pre-conditioned — and optional — reactions when things go wrong, or when plans get changed. The reactions we've grown into, either learned from our families of origin or our past experiences, can easily be shifted when we learn to listen to our bodies and make slight, simple adjustments. Discovering and embracing our current reactions is key in learning to respond instead, with self-love and compassion. In today's episode we talk about our own trajectories from anxiety and control reactions, to more helpful, better-feeling responses — how we got there, and how you can too. ************************************************************************ Every episode comes with prompts for journaling and reflection.

It might feel normal, or like second nature, to shut down, dissociate, and otherwise leave the building when circumstances find us in a place of sensory overload. Those tools can certainly be of service, but when we want to be more present and embodied in our lives and relationships, we must call ourselves into the service of our bodies and grow our innate capacity to be with overwhelm.

An integrated, whole-self approach to decision-making requires us to notice how our bodies respond to (or generate) a false sense of pressure or urgency — and to grow our capacity to be with those feelings instead of acting on them. We clear a path forward by acknowledging all the what-ifs and validating all the fears, thereby creating space for excitement, truth and possibility. In today's episode we talk about how pressures manifest in the body, and how to find your way through. ************************************************************************ Every episode comes with prompts for journaling and reflection.

There are times in life where we must bear burdens that feel heavy — even too heavy — to hold. In the meantime, let us not take on extra pressure that's optional and unnecessary! This is your invitation to notice where you're feeling weighed down or put upon, and to make some gentle shifts to help you drop the shoulds and the pressure, or carry any added weight with the help of others. In today's episode, we talk about our own optional pressures and how we've learned to lean into deeper comfort, less pressure, and more support from loved ones. ************************************************************************ Every episode comes with prompts for journaling and reflection.

We all project our past experiences onto the present, and into the future. If no one seemed to listen to you when you were growing up, why would they listen now? So we prepare ourselves to have the same experiences, and we defend against the pain that causes us. BUT — we are not our past, and every moment is new. Taking stock of our starting assumptions, and the ways our minds & bodies process them, is a great step toward living in the now. In today's episode we share some practices and reframes for staying in the present, and with your body, when it comes time to have challenging conversations.

The feeling of being burdened or weighed down is a very subjective thing. What feels like a gift to you might be a burden to someone else, and vice versa. In life and love, we bestow gifts/burdens on each other all the time — learning how to express it when you're feeling weighed down or put out is a liberating part of bringing your whole self to relationships. In today's episode, we talk about acknowledging and sharing the impacts of burdens in our lives, and give you a series of prompts to help you explore this for yourself. ************************************************************************ Every episode comes with prompts for journaling and reflection.

Most of us are prone to bypassing big feelings, including relishing gifts and facing burdens. Sometimes, what's intended as a gift can be received as a burden — and vice versa. To be fully with ourselves, and to be represented fully in relationships, it's important to appreciate what we've been given, and acknowledge what's been heavy or challenging to hold. In today's episode we talk about our experiences exploring this for ourselves, and the impacts this practice has had on us and our clients. ************************************************************************ Every episode comes with prompts for journaling and reflection.

It can be hard to grow and change when people around us want things to stay the same. Personal growth challenges us to hold space for grief and possibility — releasing who and what no longer serves us, and trusting a more aligned future to unfold, with relationships that nourish us at a soul level. This is a call to celebrate those who are ready and willing to join us, to honour those who aren't, and to deepen into self-compassion. In today's episode, we talk about how these challenges can manifest, and how to stay on path with our healing while finding the love and support we need for the journey. ************************************************************************ Every episode comes with prompts for journaling and reflection.

We've all been conditioned to express ourselves in ways that protect us from the fear of losing love and connection — this can disconnect us from our own feelings and needs, and makes it hard to know or share our boundaries. It today's episode, we practice discovering boundaries by playing with concepts that have no emotional charge, helping you find the extremes and subtleties of your yes and no, and everything in between. ************************************************************************ Every episode comes with prompts for journaling and reflection.

It can be so easy to bypass the joy of relief — we're all busy, with a lot to do and think about. We seek the feeling of relief, and yet, when it comes, we tend to miss it — in favour of whatever comes next, or some other thing we have to worry over. But with a bit of practice, you can catch that feeling of relief as it happens, and savour the moment — and bring more peace into your life and relationships. In today's episode we walk through some relief techniques and skills we've grown to be with the feeling of relief for longer than we previously thought possible. ************************************************************************ Every episode comes with prompts for journaling and reflection.

Most of us tend to feel a charge when someone tells us “we need to talk”, and we tend to bring that charge — along with all the assumptions, emotions, and defenses that ensue — into the conversation with us. Getting curious (and compassionate) about our patterns here is a great way to start clearing the space between us, for deeper, more honest connection and mutual understanding. In today's episode, we talk about our own experiences growing into difficult conversations, and building our capacity to be kind and direct with the ones we love. ************************************************************************ Every episode comes with prompts for journaling and reflection.

We all have different experiences being present in our bodies, and varying degrees to which being in the body is comfortable or even possible, depending on the circumstances.

In today's episode we talk about what it means to be in your body, and give you tools to help you be there. ************************************************************************ Every episode comes with prompts for journaling and reflection.

Celebrating small things (wins or otherwise) has a cumulative effect that helps us see the world in a positive light, and gives us perspective that helps when life gets rough. Being able to identify — and share! — your wins, or things you find delightful, or moments you want to celebrate, is a great way to feel better in life and relationships. In today's episode, we talk about how to celebrate, common internal blocks to celebration, and the ways celebration unfolds into all areas of life. ************************************************************************ Every episode comes with prompts for journaling and reflection.

We all have so much conditioning around attraction — to who and what attracts (and is attracted to) us; to who and what we think we should be attracted to. This manifests in so many ways! Bringing conscious attention and compassion here is a necessary step for building lives and relationships that light us up. In today's episode we talk about some of what's attracted us in the past, and how that's changed as we've integrated more of ourselves over the years. ************************************************************************ Every episode comes with prompts for journaling and reflection.

We all have learned responses to anger — our own anger, and other people's. We also have patterns for how we manage anger when we're regulated, and when we're not. Growing our capacities to be with feelings of anger (and what's underneath them) is a key for compassionate parenting and conscious relationships. In today's episode we talk about the differences between being with anger, and wanting to stop an anger response, and how you can bring more compassion to all of it. ************************************************************************ Every episode comes with prompts for journaling and reflection.

It's easy to get overly rigid when we set ourselves a personal goal. Gym, journaling, meditation, healthy eating — whatever it is, we tend to make such extensive and far-reaching demands of ourselves that we're sure to fall short of our own expectations. This is your invitation to be flexible on your path, moving toward what supports you with trust for the process and compassion for where you are now. In today's episode we talk about our experiences picking up — and putting down — personal growth tools, and finding compassion for our changeable interests. ************************************************************************ Every episode comes with prompts for journaling and reflection.

Our minds are designed to make meaning out of everything we experience. That's helpful for practical matters, but when it comes to beliefs about ourselves and the world, old conditioning and past experiences can bog us down in shame, shoulds and not-enoughness. Practicing noticing your thoughts and discovering the beliefs underneath them is a great way to cultivate more self-compassion. In today's episode we walk you through an exercise from A Course in Miracles to help focus this process. ************************************************************************ Every episode comes with prompts for journaling and reflection.

Because others see us through the lens of their own experiences, they won't always see all of our aspects, especially the ones we've learned to hide — but it's only by being ourselves, expressing ourselves, and sharing of ourselves that we can be known for who we really are. Tell someone — or ask someone — about the hidden, misunderstood parts, and enjoy the deeper connection this creates. In this episode, we present a simple question to tackle this, and share our own answers with you. ************************************************************************ Every episode comes with prompts for journaling and reflection.

When it comes to creating your reality, your power lies in the choices you make each moment — what you hear, see, and think about becomes your sphere of experience, and what you experience is your reality. Taking stock of what you've been consuming with your eyes, ears, heart and mind is a great way to notice what feels good and what could inspire even more good feelings in your everyday. In today's episode, we talk about what we used to fill our senses with, and the changes that have inspired us over the years. ************************************************************************ Every episode comes with prompts for journaling and reflection.
