My hope for you is that you would love yourself so deeply... that you would be so filled up that you would overflow into the world around you.In this final episode of year two, I'm getting vulnerable about my own journey with receiving. From childhood patterns of never asking for anything to recent struggles with buying myself cute hand towels without guilt, I share the messy reality of learning to receive goodness.During my recent summer visioning time, I heard this piece of intuitive wisdom: "Krista, you can't lead where you're not willing to go yourself." This got me reflecting on where I still have blocks to receiving - whether it's compliments, help, pleasure, or even allowing myself to want things.I explore why receiving feels so challenging for many of us, the connection between receiving and true compassion, and why reciprocity matters. Real compassion is bidirectional - it ebbs and flows. What we pour in is what we leak out.I share practical ideas like keeping a "receive list" and the importance of examining our beliefs about worthiness. Are you allowed to want? Are you allowed to need?Thank you for being here. I look forward to starting year three with you!Let's Connect:FB: https://www.facebook.com/alifeinprogressca and https://www.facebook.com/rebrandingmiddleage/IG: https://www.instagram.com/a_life_in_progress/NEW / FREE: (Mostly) monthly Hope Map Conversations to help you live joyfully in a messy world: Hope Map Conversations: Live Joyfully in a Messy world | A Life In Progress

There's something about New York that keeps pulling me in. The energy, the movement, the way every corner feels like a fresh start. In this episode, I open up about why NYC is more than just a destination for me. From my early days as an intern to where I am now, this city has witnessed many chapters of my journey. It challenges me, inspires me, and reminds me that life is always in progress. Let's talk about what keeps bringing me back to the city that never sleeps.

In this episode, we're joined by the inspiring Myrza Sison—former editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan Philippines, Marie Claire Philippines, FemaleNetwork.com, and Spot.ph. Today, she's a certified executive coach helping women step into their power with confidence and clarity. She champions personal transformation and purposeful living through her talks, workshops, and digital content.Together, we will explore what it truly takes to build an extraordinary life—one rooted in courage, reinvention, and self-belief.

Do you ever get to a new destination and always have a realization?That life is so much more than your daily routine, that beauty exists in the simplest moments, and that stillness has a language of its own?That's exactly what happened when I arrived in Cuba.The music in the streets, the warmth of the people, the vintage cars rolling past colorful colonial buildings—it all felt like a world paused in time, reminding me to slow down and just be.Sometimes, travel doesn't just show you a new place. It mirrors back the parts of yourself you've forgotten. Cuba did that for me.

In this solo episode I talk about being a Questioner and 'wrestler.' One who must grapple with things in order to make peace with life or the circumstance in front of me, and find my way forward. If I lived full time in grief or pain, or in the grappling process, this would hold me back from living fully and thriving forward. But resistance itself is not wrong or bad. It's part of the grief process. The letting go process. Coming to terms with things really and truly. Not just shoving down our feelings or pain and pretending all is well.If you're in a season of needing to let go of the life you wanted to embrace the one you have, I share 5 truths to help you honour your process, move at a soul-honouring pace, and offer yourself compassion each step of the way.Read the blog post: Let Go Of The Life You Wanted And Embrace The One You HaveSign up for the free Quiet the Noise Challenge: Join The Quiet The Noise Challenge: Nov 18-22 | A Life In Progress

A common experience that comes up in my work is grief and self-judgment when a client or community member feels that they have gone backwards in their growth. But we can't go backwards; it's impossible. We may feel like we've circled back to an old wound, or to something we believed we had already learned, once and for all. But we are all in progress and we need repetition to truly move a new truth from head into heart and then deeper into the body until it lives in our bones or becomes embodied truth. We travel deeper, not wider. Life is more circular than linear. We learn how to practice a new skill or pattern in new circumstances. We take it to the next level. But we don't go backwards. SHOW NOTESWe're all simply practicing. We're all in progress, going deeper not wider. There's so much pain and shame when we believe the story that we 'should' be better/different/further along than exactly where we are. This keeps us stuck in unhelpful patterns and robs us of living awake and present to the very real - imperfect and beautiful - reality in front of us.With each repetition or encounter with a particular struggle/skill, we deepen our roots and our wisdom grows too. And as we go deeper, slow and steady, we encounter True Self hidden beneath layers of hurt, trying to get our needs met, and behavioral patterns constructed to help us feel safe and loved in this messy world. All the work we've done to get to this place in our journey, none of it is wasted. It's all here with us as we face this new season or circumstance.In this episode I share four gifts that come from accepting that we're all simply practicing and help us shift from shame or despair into agency.LINKS/RESOURCESFind Krista on FB: A Life in Progress and also Rebranding Middle Age.

In theory at least, the holiday season is about gratitude, connection/community, a focus on what's truly most important. The reality for many, however, is an increase in stress, anxiety and depression. I don't know what all is going on in your life, of course, but perhaps there are ways you can lower your stress through less performing, people-pleasing, and perfectionism while amping up your joy or wellbeing.Next week the focus is on holding space for both joy and pain over the holidays.SHOW NOTESIf less performing and more joy this holiday season sounds welcome, then I invite you to spend time reflecting on the questions I share in this episode.
