Jennifer Gwyn Jones knows what it feels like to keep pushing down a yearning for change. She knows how easy it is to become constrained by what you can do what you think you should do. How you can become easily stuck in “it's okay, it's going okay” land. But now Jan also knows what it feels like to break free, to be bold and brave and leave a 17-year career to strike out in a new direction that just kept on calling. If you've ever wanted to stop what you're doing now and begin something new, especially if you're currently in a corporate role, or other profession, you will get so much inspiration from this conversation. We talk about the vital role that self-compassion plays when you step out of your comfort zone, how to tap into your own internal wisdom, how to design a rich fulfilling business and life and so much more in this mini guide to courageous change.     Show Notes   When you ignore the thing that's calling you, that you're yearning for, eventually your health suffers If you journal, revisit what you've written in the past and you will see the same cycles repeat themselves Even if “it's” good, it might not be good for you I realised there was such a close interweaving of my identity and my work performance and that want healthy I'd spent too much time looking for external validation from people who had different agendas to my own I was living from the head up; my body was just there to walk my head around! Burnout gave me the space to consider “I could be a business owner – what might that look like?” My identify started to shift and I became open to the potential of being something other than the corporate employee Self-compassion did not come easily to me – I liked the idea intellectually, but was unsure of how to actually practice it. I've now come to understand that it's a comfort when things don't go as you planned Ask yourself in this moment, what's most important to me? There are so many choices and options available to us, but there are unique “hot tracks” that show up for each of us – get curious, tune into how things feel for you With practice, even if fear does come up, you'll still be able to feel the sweetness     About the speaker   As a Life Coach, speaker and writer, Jen has helped women all over the world break free from their “shoulds” and find ways to say YES to their yearning. Jen helps women feeling stuck or confused in their professional or work routine find their true path and tap into the magic of life in practical and meaningful ways.  She came to Life Coaching through studies with the Martha Beck Institute and also training in Acceptance Commitment Training (ACT).  Jen's focus on helping professionals find their magic is informed by her 17-year career in the Australian civil service and extensive studies including Bachelor degrees in Microbiology and Anthropology and a Masters in International Affairs from the Australian National University. https://www.jengwynnjones.com/ https://www.facebook.com/JenGwynnJonesCoaching/ https://www.instagram.com/jen_gwynn_jones/

The word crisis is defined as "a time of intense difficulty, trouble, or danger." If we're lucky, we'll all see midlife, but must we have a crisis? How can you avoid a midlife crisis? Some women sail through those middle years with ease, while others may begin to question the meaning and purpose of life. Menopause may be around the corner, or it may have already begun, but you're far from old age! No matter what age group you are in, life satisfaction will have a lot to do with how you experience the mid-life years. Changes in family life, living without kids at home for the first time, a health crisis, and hopes for new opportunities may be things people experience during this midpoint in life. What do you want to do with the rest of your life? How would your younger self respond in the same circumstances. It's amazing how much the perspective changes in middle-aged people and I love it! This Interview Covers In today's episode author Lisa Levine is with me to discuss the topic of midlife for women today (since we are both women and my podcast audience is primarily women.)  What do we mean by a midlife crisis, and can women avoid one? Does our transition in and through these years have to be a crisis? We've all seen the portrayals of a midlife crisis, which is usually depicted by middle-aged men with flashy red sports cars, perhaps an affair. To some degree, a transition of identity appears to occur. While the stereotype exists for a reason, is this what we see with women? What does a midlife crisis look like for her? Is a midlife crisis inevitable for all women, what factors come into play? Hormones, childhood trauma, mental health, circumstances, personality, etc? How much does menopause play a part in a woman's well-being during these life changes? Are some women better prepared somehow to cope with the challenges that occur in middle age - why do some people seemingly sail right through while other women may go through drastic changes? As a woman who has gone through a turbulent midlife crisis and having walked through it with multiple friends, I'm wondering, is there some advice you can share on decision-making during this period?  How can we spend less time feeling the angst and longing for either things that are past or some new adventure that we can't necessarily identify?  Do you have any tips for family members who have a loved one experiencing a midlife crisis? What would you say is the best thing a woman can do if her best friend is going through this period of life and considering giving up on say 25-30 years of marriage? It's difficult when you are in the midst of a midlife crisis in your own life to see younger women maybe on social media, advertisements and such idolized, do you think as a society we'll ever get this right? As they say, youth is wasted on the young! How can women embrace midlife? Lisa's Actionable Steps Be present in the momentMeditationJournalingPausing practiceDon't compare and despairPractice mindfulnessSet new goalsCreate a vision boardCommit to a mindset changeGet quality sleep How to Support a Friend Practice active listeningDo something out of the ordinary and have fun. About the Author Lisa Levine is a Martha Beck Institute-certified Life and Health Coach at Audacious Health & Wellness. She helps women who are approaching midlife to create new and healthy habits in the way they think, eat, sleep and move, empowering them to live their lives fully and audaciously. Originally from the East Coast, she currently resides in Seattle spending much of her time writing, drinking matcha, overusing emojis, parenthesis, and punctuation (can't stop, won't stop), enjoying the beauty of the PNW, and playing in the kitchen, creating healthy fare for her family and friends. She is comforted by the reminder that the only constant in life is change and by the deeply rooted belief that ultimately everything will be OK in the end.

This episode is all about our furry (and non-furry) friends! Dori Frame is here to talk about communicating with our pets. She shares her own powerful experience communicating with her dog, Reykjavik, who has now transitioned into the spiritual. Dori walks us through her life with Reykjavik; adopting him, training him, and opening her heart to hearing him. You guys need to hear her story (it left me in tears!) Dori reminds us to ELEVATE by rethinking how we react to loved ones transitioning into the spiritual.  Dori also has some exciting news! She shares details on a transformational retreat she plans on hosting in November. Stay posted by connecting with her website and Instagram.  Dori has spent 20+ years coaching, lecturing, and badgering people  on the topics of nutrition and fitness, time management, stress management, flow and play, sleep and renewal. She's  taught in college, corporate and private settings. She's been an entrepreneur her whole life, had her own business with several employees, and worked solo, as she does now. While she has degrees in Psychology, Exercise Physiology and an M.B.A. and was trained by the Martha Beck Institute as a life coach, the total hours Dori spent studying all four programs do not come close to the number of hours she has poured into her own consciousness and spiritual development studies. She is still not done, but having way more fun! Of all her spiritual teachers, her dog was the most important one. Dori offers guidance to clients through One-on-one coaching sessions focused on Intuitive Listening, Conscious Questioning, and helping her clients develop a relationship with their inner voice,  so they can learn to confidently direct their own lives. Dori is on a never-ending quest to understand how she can be better at this Human thing as she cultivates the conscious creation of her life.

In Pursuit Of Truth with Aideen T. Finnola Radio Show Does anger come easily to you? Have you been told that you're "too much"? Does that make you angry? Anger gets a bad rap in our culture and understandably so! Anger makes people feel uncomfortable and uneasy. Most people reject the expression of anger and reject the person expressing the anger. The underlying fear is that anger causes violence, either verbal violence or physical violence. The truth is that it's the repression and denial of anger that can lead to violence, not the healthy and appropriate expression of anger! Join Aideen and special guest, Tina Martino, a life coach who specializes in the healthy expression of anger, as they talk about the upside of anger and why you don't want to repress or deny it with a smile and a positive attitude. Tina Martino is a life and authenticity coach specializing in facilitating and supporting her clients to feel all the feels, particularly the hard ones. She is known by her clients and her workshop attendees for her signature message: “You get to do that!” whatever “that” is which helps them to live their truth in the most authentic way possible. Tina is a lifelong seeker of what makes us all tick. She has studied psychology at the Center for Modern Psychoanalytic Study and life coaching at the Martha Beck Institute of Life Coach Training. She coaches clients all over the world and offers her signature workshop, "Uncage Your Rage," locally in Brooklyn, NYC.  tinam1212@me.com      http://tinamartino.com/ Author of My Exquisite Purple Life  Purchase Book Here or Audio Here https://www.balboapress.com/BookStore/BookDetails/752312-My-Exquisite-Purple-Life ~ More About In Pursuit Of Truth with Aideen T. Finnola ~  Aideen T. Finnola is an empowerment coach, author, speaker, and radio show host. She is an unapologetic and empowered survivor of and thriver after physical, emotional, psychological, and religious abuse. As she was raised in a religious cult for the first two decades of her life and was then unsuspectingly married to a closeted gay man for her life’s next two decades, she has a lot of experience with varying degrees and expressions of untruth. These experiences have fueled her pursuit of truth to the point of a full-on passion (some might say obsession). Aideen has learned that above all, untruth is both unworkable and painful. Coming from the perspective that life, time and space, and the human experience are all perfect and good, she knows that truth can only exist within ideas and experiences that are both workable and enjoyable. Aideen coaches her clients to find their own truth by investigating outside the conventional parameters of “should and shouldn’t,” “good and bad,” and “right and wrong.” She guides them instead to evaluate their experiences by questioning “Is this working for me?” and “Am I enjoying this?” Aideen empowers people all over the world through her coaching, her memoir, My Exquisite Purple Life, her speaking, and her radio show. Her unwavering message is to look for truth, guidance, and answers within, because it’s all there inside! https://www.aideentfinnola.com/     ~    https://www.facebook.com/aideentfinnola    To get more of In Pursuit Of Truth ~ Aideen T.

“All the permission I need is the voice inside me.”My dear friends, this episode today is a total treat! I have my friend Dori Frame here on the show today and she's seriously the cool sister you wish you always had. Dori works as a life coach and offers guidance in the areas of conscious questioning, intuitive listening, and authentic living. (She considers herself more of a guide than a coach because she helps clients find the answers that are already within themselves - which is so beautiful and exactly what we love here on the pod).In this conversation, we talk about her spiritual journey, how she's manifested so many divine things in her life, and what her meditation practice looks like. We also deep dive into living a more grounded life and listening to our intuition. We live in a society that's obsessed with speed and rapid progress and Dori and I chat about slowing down and tuning into the wisdom within.By far, the most impactful thing that Dori shares in this episode is how to tap into your innate self-worth. She also explains how she came to the conclusion that she's always worthy - regardless of the accolades, money, or other external sources of validation.I genuinely love and adore Dori and she's got all the answers to the questions we're asking. So tune in and hang out with us for the hour - it's an episode you don't want to miss.About Dori:Dori is a lifelong skateboarder, tree-climber and water surface gazer, completely in love with her current home in Hawaii where she can do all three!Dori has spent 20+ years coaching, lecturing, and badgering people on the topics of nutrition and fitness, time management, stress management, flow and play, sleep and renewal. She has degrees in psychology, exercise physiology and an M.B.A. and was trained by the Martha Beck Institute as a life coach. She's taught in college, corporate and private settings. Dori offers guidance in the areas of conscious questioning, intuitive listening, and authentic living. She considers what she does guidance, rather than coaching, since most of her work revolves around helping the client find their answers within themselves.Just recently Dori added the Walking the Last Mile Coaching which is designed to help people with aging pets learn new ways to cope and enjoy their moments with their beloved friends. This came about from her own amazingly positive experience with her Great Dane, Reykjavik, aka #JoyBoy on Instagram. Dori is on a never-ending quest to understand how she can be better at this human thing as she cultivates the conscious creation of this life.In this episode, you'll learn:- All about tapping into your intuition and internal inner knowingness for the answers.- How to find your worth and own it. (Versus always trying to prove it to others).- That you are always worthy, regardless of what you have, possess, or acheive. “The more aligned I felt with my higher self, the more I realized I am absolutely worthy.”- How Dori knows when her manifestation is on the way and what her process of surrender looks like.- How Dori manifested her home in Hawaii and how she let the process unfold rather than force it.- How to access your divine downloads and intuition through meditation.- How to slow down and savor the process.- That the journey is supposed to be fun. “If you're trying to get somewhere and the journey isn't fun, then what's the point of doing it.”Resources Mentioned:Your Conscious Empire (click here to access the preview!)Your Best LifeLacy PhillipsSelenite crystalBecoming Supernatural by Dr. Joe DispenzaYou are a Badass at Making Money by Jen SinceroYou are a Badass by Jen SinceroDori's favorite meditation music: here and hereYoga NidraAbraham HicksBrooke CastilloMartha BeckMuscle testingDuke's WaikikiHenry KaponoFlow with Intention by Jess LivelyLeave a podcast rating and review to be entered into the giveawayFind Dori: brightbluemoment.comInstagram: @brightbluemomentFind Kelly:Instagram: @kellytrachkellytrach.comMusic for The Kelly Trach Show is by Ikson: soundcloud.com/iksonSupport for today's show comes from:Teachable.

Allan Santos and I met 15 years ago at the Britt Festival in Oregon. I vividly recall drinking beer with him at the bar while Dave Anderson shot pool in the corner. After studying with players like Shinji Eshima and John Hood, Allan had landed an orchestra gig in the Toledo Symphony. The goal had been reached. But Allan felt like things were at an 8 in his life. Not a 10. What would a 10 look like? Fast forward to the present, and Allan is on a totally different path. Allan left the Toledo Symphony several years ago. He became the #7 ranked yoga competitor in the nation (yes, we talk about this!). He has now moved into Life Coaching. After reading my manifesto about my new direction in life, he reached out to me and we started talking. He was tremendously helpful in helping me gain clarity about the next steps in my life. I’d never had conversations like this. He gave me strategies to obtain clarity and focus on what’s actually important in any given moment. The is a deep conversation for sure. I’ve never really put anything like this out on the podcast. My conversation with Trevor Jones might be the closest thing. But I know you’ll enjoy it!
