How to Get Through the Winter!

Tuesday Jan 21, 2025

Tuesday Jan 21, 2025

Today's episode is about winter. Specifically, how to get through it. So many folks have come to me recently about their 'distaste' for winter -- I think we need a plan. Because I don't want you to feel as though you have to put your head down and just muddle through until April. We've got this friends!

Thursday Jan 16, 2025

On today's episode I share an epiphany I had while walking in Vermont! Spoiler alert -- about a major fear of mine. Some thoughts are so deeply embedded, they completely bypass our cognitive, thinking mind. The question is: do we have to change them or can we lovingly accept them??

New Year, a More JOYFUL You!

Tuesday Jan 14, 2025

Tuesday Jan 14, 2025

Today's episode is, well, another gentle rant (if such a thing exists) on New Year's resolutions -- and encouragement to consider 'goals' around how you feel. Because you don't need to change. In fact, the only change should be allowing in even more JOY!

One Small Change!

Thursday Jan 09, 2025

Thursday Jan 09, 2025

Sometimes change, big change, can feel so overwhelming. So, what if we tried one very small shift? A teeny-tiny change. I think it would feel so much more manageable. And the results can be quite significant!

Untangling Unfairness!

Tuesday Jan 07, 2025

Tuesday Jan 07, 2025

Today's episode is about unfairness. My dad used to say that life is very unfair.  I agree. Suffering is never deserved. So, how do we find joy in our own lives when there is so much struggle around us?

There's Always Another Way!

Thursday Jan 02, 2025

Thursday Jan 02, 2025

You know I love the movies so today's episode is inspired by a theme that runs through 'Moana 2:'  there's always another way, even if you have to get lost to find it! What a relief -- there's always another way! Let's talk about embodying that sentiment.

Setting Some Intentions!

Tuesday Dec 31, 2024

Tuesday Dec 31, 2024

Today's episode is all about setting some intentions for the new year (and a bit of a bash of 'resolutions' -- so sorry if you love them!). Why do I prefer intentions?? They are softer, more abstract, and more focused on how you want to feel versus 'I will get it done at all costs.' 
 
If you are ready for some intention-setting -- today's episode is for you!
 
Thanks so much for listening! I love helping people change (and improve!) their perception of their lives -- aka find more JOY.

Your North Star!

Thursday Dec 26, 2024

Thursday Dec 26, 2024

Today's episode is about clarity and asking yourself the question: what am I looking to feel? The editor of this podcast, Ben, helped with this one -- he's never been one to let outside input color his decision making. He knows what he is looking for. Maybe we all need some help defining 'our north star!'
