Someone recently shared something beautiful online:
When caught between a rock and a hard place: let me be water.
Being in-between things is one of the most difficult positions for us to bear as humans. But it's also fertile, sacred ground. Something is over but what's next hasn't come through yet. How we wait, relate and contextualize this time in our lives is EVERYTHING.
Today I'm sharing a very personal story about my own in-between time and how I found the self love and compassion necessary to shift out of freeze mode and get back to life in a bold new way.
I hope you'll tune in and find something meaningful to resonate with.

Being unaware of our beliefs is how we lose alignment with the goals and aspirations we carry for ourselves in our hearts. When we feel disenfranchised or lost it means we’re believing something negative, something discouraging.
Our beliefs are the first place we can go to make the kinds of course corrections that will profoundly improve the experience we’re having inside our lives. Working with beliefs can open our hearts and bring us back into direct contact with our inner light, our guidance.

One of the hardest parts about being human is our tendency to judge our own progress.
Sometimes when things aren't working and the needle isn't budging it's a sign that we're meant to pause and reassess our situation - not just push through.
This is the theme of today's show - which is also a response to an Ask Me Anything question. I hope you'll tune in and find some resonance.

When it's genuinely impossible to feel joyful, we can still be meaningful.
We find meaning by finding the present moment. The irony is that we're never actually in any other moment! But our minds would have us believing otherwise.
Let's untangle this tangle together today and learn some sacred tools for opening our hearts and planting our attention right here, right now. It's where the magic is.

One of the big epiphanies that's surfaced for me, on the verge of turning 50, is that I'm a lot less resilient than I used to be. Which means I don't have the ability to fake how I'm feeling, what I can handle or how fast I can push myself.
Instead, I've been experimenting with what it means to embrace slowing down. I'm not rushing anymore to transform the negative. Even when it hurts, it's meaningful.

We have to keep an eye on the Ego when it comes to healing. If we're not careful, the quest to feel better becomes the quest to BE better. Better than another. Better than the Self we're constantly trying to strong arm into some kind of perfection. All in the name of "healing" or self improvement.
It's a relief to remember that we don't have to make "work" out of healing. It can be easeful. We can surrender and make just as much progress as we might have through more forceful efforts.

A "bad mood" isn't something that manifests randomly in us. Bad moods are always connected to emotional pain. We create them by reinforcing specific, negative thoughts and feelings until that painful state is entrenched.
Imagine if we walked around saying: "I'm in pain right now" instead of "I'm in a bad mood."?!
The Ego wouldn't allow for this - it's too vulnerable. Too honest.
A bad mood is harder to penetrate. There's room to hide there.
But if we hide out too long in our bad moods they become our temperament. We lose the light. The sweetness. The curiosity. The capacity to laugh at ourselves. The capacity to say: 'I don't even know why I'm like this; I've lost the plot. I've committed to this role and I need to be set free.'
We're diving into all of this on today's episode - I hope you'll join the convo and as always, thank you for being here!

Your Ego will ruin your life if you’re not mindful.
One of the most effective ways to hold it in check, and break free from its tyranny, is to recognize that our inner, unconscious commentary ABOUT what is happening is not the same thing as what’s ACTUALLY happening. It’s interpretation - and interpretation is not the same as capital T truth.
When we’re able to bring some spaciousness, some quiet observation to our own inner experience, we find that there are many nuances to a single feeling. Anger is often connected to sadness. And bad moods are almost always about some kind of pain in us that isn’t getting the acknowledgement or attention it requires.
There is much to know about a single feeling and when we put in the effort to explore and understand ourselves in these ways, we become our own allies. We heal.

For many of us, hope feels dangerous, despair feels (tragically) familiar and we try to manage the rollercoaster of them both by avoiding disappointment.
But chronically downshifting our hope in order to manage disappointment leads to a dead life.
Louise Hay used to famously say: "You don’t have to know how, you just have to be willing."
That's all I'm asking of you today - the willingness to let these ideas enter your consciousness and begin to potentially shift your relationship with feeling your own feelings. This is the first step. Let's take it together!

Ram Dass taught: when you fall from the path, that's still the path.
There's tremendous wisdom and truth in this - which is lost on us too often - because we're tangled up in our own Egos, judging our lives/choices as good or bad, right or wrong. When we feel good, we're on our path. When we feel bad, we're off it.
But what if ALL of our experiences, good and bad, are part of our path? What if it's impossible to fall off it?
If everything we go through in our lives is meant to teach and expand us, right and wrong no longer factor into our understanding of ourselves. We are free to focus on authenticity and meaningfulness instead.

One of the most prominent ways the wounded Divine Masculine shows up in our lives is through a lack of structure.
Structure is, energetically speaking, a very masculine quality - it counterbalances the soft, receptiveness of the Divine Feminine.
Each of us has both - the masc and the femme - as humans. But many of us struggle to get the balance right. Or to realize these energies are out of balance within us in the first place.
We're taking a deeper look at this on today's show. I hope you'll tune in and find something meaningful to take away with you.

We have more choices to exercise, moment to moment, than we often consciously realize.
But as we become more aware of this truth, we also become more empowered inside our own lives.

We are here to evolve. To continuously learn, integrate, change. Fear will always be a part of this process because it requires us to let go of one trapeze bar in order to reach for the next one.
When we try to manage our fears through hyper-vigilance or by limiting the risks we're willing to take in our lives, we wind up betraying our destiny.
Surrendering to the fear means respecting it, acknowledging it and then releasing ourselves from its tight grip.
