The Path to Joy

I know the title of today's episode seems a bit opaque. I promise it's not. I don't think my writing style could ever be described as anything but 'accessible.' 
 
I do love this concept of the 'earthly garden of emotions' -- proposed by the spiritual teacher, Mark Nepo. The idea that all emotions spring from the same soil. An explanation for why we can cry and laugh at the same moment. Listen and let me know what you think!
 
Thanks so much for listening! I love helping people change (and improve!) their perception of their lives -- aka find more JOY.

Today's episode is about this past Mother's Day -- there were three mothers in the house this year celebrating. And, yes, I realize I'm a few weeks late with this one --  better late than never, right? It was a good mother's day: amidst hummus and kofta, there was this moment for me of 'how did we all get here?'

As the world comes alive, I'm reminded how nature takes it's time. Not rushing. Patiently waiting until the time is right and then -- whoosh, everything is alive. And so I need to have the bravery to be patient and wait, too. For everything that's coming!

You probably guessed from the title of today's episode that today I'm chatting about my dad. Although I'm sad -- it's not a 'sad' episode. I share some of the smaller stories about my dad that I don't often tell.

As promised, retreat episode #2! Some observations and thoughts -- ranging from the power of a voice to my MOM! It's hard to say goodbye to these retreat weekends so I've loved keeping that energy alive over the last couple weeks!

I recently wrapped up my sixth retreat so I'm going to have a couple 'retreat-centric' episodes. Today, I'm sharing a big theme of this retreat -- how, with awareness, we do better than the previous generation. We will still make lots of mistakes, but we won't make the same ones.

Today's episode is inspired, yet again, by my friend Cara Bradley. The title of her email 'You Don't Know How Great You Are' just hit me. Because she is 1,000% right. We think everything we do is just all in a day's work, no big deal, par for the course. And we're wrong!

Today's episode is about crying. And if you are bit concerned, no, I'm not crying the whole episode! Tears bring a relief -- like letting some of the air out of a balloon. So, let's talk about tears today!

I love today's topic. No, it's not really about golf! Well, it kinda is. It's really about that feeling you get when you just feel called to do something -- when your internal compass is talking to you and decide to listen. I love that moment. 
 
As an added bonus, I'm including the 'Hole in One' video here so you know I didn't make this story up!

Today's episode is inspired by a wonderful email written by my friend, Cara Bradley. Sometimes friendships end because it's just the time. Maybe nothing big or dramatic occurred. It's a quiet end. As painful as it is to admit, I think this is a natural course for some friendships. And that's O.K.
