Have you ever looked in the mirror and started to feel horrible about how your body looked? We don’t always realize it, but many of us have been programmed to reject our bodies, spending our lives searching for an ideal of beauty. Yet, the definition of beauty in the dictionary is “that which gives pleasure to the mind or senses.” This means we get to determine our notion of beauty based on what gives us pleasure. If we focus more on what p...leases us, we might just find that our bodies are miraculous vehicles to experience the beauty of life. Listen to this podcast and in less than 10 minutes you can start to learn to look in the mirror with pleasure and see your true beauty.
Those of us who have a tendency to be people-pleasers usually want the best for other people. However, the other, more well-known part of being a people-pleaser is the need for everyone to like us, which often leads to anxiety, worry, and ultimately self-compromise. When we can give up people-pleasing, we can start thinking about the pleasure of speaking our minds, the pleasure of achieving our goals, and the pleasure of taking control of our own... lives by letting go of the pain involved in trying to control other people.
For some reason, many of us tend to take our anger, discomfort, and frustrations out on the people we love most. We may insist that it’s because we are most comfortable with our loved ones, but we forget that without tender care, even the best relationships become broken. This podcast will give us tools to treat each moment with our loved ones as sacred and always be reminded that love is the bridge to everything wonderful.
If you were to look up the definition of ‘beauty’ in the dictionary, you would find that beauty is defined as “that which gives the highest degree of pleasure to the senses or the mind.” But are we truly cognizant of what actually gives us pleasure? Or have we been conditioned to be pleased by what the outside world considers beautiful? If our search for beauty is more about external standards of beauty and less about what truly pleases u...s, we often find ourselves living in a tremendous amount of pain and self-rejection. This podcast will aid you in recognizing what is beauty for you, supporting you to feel more whole, peaceful, and loving towards yourself.
Sometimes we want to be mean to someone because they hurt us. We blame them for something bad that happened, or we want to teach them a lesson. Even though we might feel justified, acting this way tends to bring us further from where we want to be in our lives. This podcast will explore six questions that we can ask ourselves to guide our decision-making, pushing us towards greater joy and success.
The society we live in routinely provides us with often fictitious images of what it means to be happy. These constructs—fed to us from birth—often attempt to answer the following three questions: What kind of relationships do I need in my life to be happy? What do I need to do to be successful? And who do I need to be in order to be happy and successful? Only we can answer these questions for ourselves truthfully, but these constructs are se...rved to us as objective truths. Often, as we get older, we may come to discover that these images of happiness that we have been sold don't actually make us happy, don't really fulfill us, and don't give our lives meaning. This podcast explores how we can free ourselves of these seemingly inescapable constructs so that we may live a more authentic, joyful, and meaningful life.
Many of us try to hide aspects of ourselves that we think will not be accepted by our friends, family or society. We believe that if we can hide these things, people will accept us, love us, and validate us. Yet, hiding certain aspects of ourselves is quite painful because, in hiding, we cover up who we truly are, limiting ourselves from living our best lives. I hope this podcast can help free any part of you that is hiding from the world so that... you may find more joy and sustainable success!
Many of us look for evidence to love ourselves in how other people see us or in experiences that should validate our worth. But the minute there's a bump in the road—whether someone leaves us, we lose our job, or we are rejected or disappointed— if there is not another source for that love, we are going to find it hard to move forward. We must recognize that we are the love that we seek if we want to stand steady. We are already every...thing we need to be to have joyful and meaningful lives.
Rejection can be very painful. Sometimes rejection makes us close our hearts and we start to believe that we can’t achieve our goals. This episode will discuss how we can have a different relationship with rejection. If we can find a way to nurture the pain, rejection can be a learning experience that leads us to an expansive place. We create a willingness to try new things and approach everything with less fear and more resilience. With a new ...openness to all that is possible, MAYBE the best is yet to come!
