Women Today

On today's episode we are learning how to practically and tactically make change in four doable and effective steps. We will dive into the specifics of how to define, plan, take action, and celebrate the goals that are important to us.

Before even sitting down to pursue our goals, we must ask ourselves where the goal has originated from and why it is important to achieve. Once we have defined the sacred origins of our goals, which will sustain our pursuit of them, we can use four simple steps to make them a reality. 

In addition to the four steps, I discuss how to look at our life from a bird's eye view, set up a planning calendar, sustainably continue pursuing our dreams, and celebrate and reflect when we attain our goals. If you are ready to truly pursue your desires, grab a pen and paper and make sure to sit down with us for this episode!

Topics Covered:

• The mindset we need to pursue our goals
• When you should begin planning your goals
• Creating the optimal environment for mapping out your goals
• Defining what is enough as you do the work 
• Ways to acknowledge the fruition of a goal

The astrological new year is upon us and in this episode we are taking the time to reflect, envision, and answer the questions that will lead us into our next new beginning. I authentically share what has been drawing my attention for the past year, dive into what the astrological new year brings, and lay out how you can go from feeling the energy of reinvention to truly saying yes to the next iteration of yourself. 

Reinventing yourself or something in your life is no easy task, but asking the right questions can help us get there. It’s important to define what we want to change, ask ourselves why we want to change it, reveal what is stopping us, and visualize what the most successful outcome looks like. 

We will also address things like how to let go, the difference between reinventing tangible vs intangible things, and talk about what life looks like after reinvention. Remember that change takes commitment, but as women, we all hold the power within us to create a deep and fulfilling life. 

Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Castro, or on your favorite podcast platform. 

Topics Covered:

• Sharing my personal journey for the past year 
• The astrological new year and its significance in our lives
• Identifying the itch for reinvention 
• Defining what we want for ourselves and why
• Addressing what is standing in our way 
• Visualizing what our most successful outcome looks like

We have officially entered 2022, but just because the date on the calendar has changed, doesn't mean that the circumstances of our lives will immediately shift or change for the better. 

There can be so much hype around new-year goal setting and planning. While I personally love to reflect, vision and plan, I've also found that it's critical to be patient, gentle and loving in the process. Otherwise, we run the risk of yet another opportunity to set ourselves up to lose confidence, self-trust and efficacy when it comes to our most important dreams and goals. 

In this audio, I walk you through many of the core steps I use to reflect, dream and plan for the upcoming year. You will learn:

• Some simple, yet powerful questions to ask yourself as you review the past year and everything that has transpired.
• How to consciously release, complete and close 2021 if you haven't done so already.
• How to give yourself creative permission to brainstorm, dream and envision life for the new year, even if you end up choosing NOT to pursue certain things.
• Effective ways to simplify, reduce overwhelm and hone in on the few most important things you want to actively focus on in the new year.
• How to set yourself up for success throughout the year to re-visit your goals and dreams so that they don't end up collecting dust and leading to disappointment down the road.

Enjoy and may you have a gentle and easeful start to 2022!

Last week I sent out a podcast all about how to create conscious endings because it is something I have been thinking a lot about personally and I hoped it would be of value--what I didn't realize was just how much this would resonate with so many of you!

From all of your emails and messages (thank you!) I can tell we  struck a chord on this whole conscious endings theme, so this week I decided to dig a bit deeper into the subject and make a part 2 of how to create a conscious ending. 

In this week's episode I cover:

• How to identify and acknowledge our default patterning around endings.
• The most common forces that influence how we tend to do endings. 
• How to assess whether or not our style of endings is working for us (or not).
• How to evolve or change the way that we do endings so that we can experience more wholeness, completion and freedom.
• Reframing the concept of "finishing strong" and how to end things in a way that supports growth and healing as opposed to a way that recapitulates trauma and pain.
• 7 reflection questions you can use to create more satisfying and conscious endings.

I love knowing how these conversations are impacting you so keep those emails coming and if you're inspired, forward this podcast to a friend who you know is dealing with an ending right now...

Let's keep finding our resonance and remembering that we are not alone.
