Traditions and Identifying Your ‘Roots’

In this podcast episode, I reflect on a personal tradition and address some questions about how to know you’re staying rooted – using this tradition as my example. Your life will not look from the outside as it feels on the inside. And that’s how it’s meant to work.

Stop Trying to Find Your “Final Self” (Do This Instead)

In this podcast episode, I talk about how trying on ‘selves’ and using costumes to test out our plans can really help us know what is right for us. Your life will not look from the outside as it feels on the inside. And that’s how it’s meant to work.

The Conditioning Crisis: Unlearning What Society Taught You to Be | #64

In this podcast episode, I talk about how we are trained to be broken by society, and we underestimate the strength of these expectations. ((And reference a myth about Queen Victoria, which I’m aware is not true, it just makes me smile.))

How to Use Perspectives to Set Goals You Actually Achieve | #63

In this podcast episode, I talk about how shifting our perspective from what we want to what we DON’T WANT can give us a level of clarity that might feel counter-intuitive. But it’s a method people have found helpful when the options for what they might want feel too overwhelming. || LINKS MENTIONED|| ⁠⁠⁠– Want to know more about me taking the business full time?

Over-Simplified Science Results in More Failing Habits | #62

In this podcast episode, I share my frustration with the myth about how long it takes to change your habits to work towards a goal. Science is always simplified to share its messages with the non-scientific, but this arbitrary time limit only sets us up to fail. || LINKS MENTIONED|| ⁠⁠⁠– Want to know more about me taking the business full time?

How to Listen to the Lessons of Nature’s Ways | #61

In this podcast episode, I explore the lessons that Nature teaches us, which remind us to take our time. As humans, we fight so many of our instincts, but even in this modern society, releasing ourselves to the natural chaos that Nature follows – the laws of Physics and science – connects us more deeply with the experience of human spiritual connection. || LINKS MENTIONED|| ⁠⁠⁠– Want to know more… Read More »How to Listen to the Lessons of Nature’s Ways | #61

Breaking the Hidden Stigma of ‘Changing Your Mind’ | #60

In this podcast episode, I do a bit of a deep dive into the taboo of changing our minds, confirmation bias and stereotyping, and the lack of ‘trust’ for those of us who reinvent our identities. Our human curiosity, growth, and love of learning are superpowers we should never let go of. When science clearly gives us new information, remaining open and curious instead of trusting stereotypes and confirmation bias… Read More »Breaking the Hidden Stigma of ‘Changing Your Mind’ | #60

Staying Rooted in Reality when Setting Expectations | #59

Setting goals often involves setting expectations – we’ll do X, and it will feel like Y, giving us outcome Z. Yet, our sense of time, our sense of progress, is something humans seem to find particularly tricky to plan for. Particularly in the self-development field, the idea of XYZ leading to a set path is that is unrealistic and therefore sets many of us up to feel like we’ve failed.… Read More »Staying Rooted in Reality when Setting Expectations | #59

The One Reason you Should Commit to Taking Baby Steps

If you know me, you’ll know a favourite mantra of mine is that ‘baby steps add up’. I don’t tend to succeed if I try to go for big shifts. Some people get a sense of momentum from big changes. Personally, they exhaust me. So if you’ve tried the new year’s resolution, the big “right that’s it” moment and created a grand plan to change your life… and it hasn’t… Read More »The One Reason you Should Commit to Taking Baby Steps

The Truth about Progress: Lapses and Relapses

Although I no longer support people specifically with their mental health, one of the key lessons I picked up from teaching cognitive therapy tools was the differentiation between a Lapse and a Relapse; which is a concept that applies to any form of progress we’re looking to make. Let’s begin with some definitions. These are not necessarily the dictionary definitions, but they are how I have come to see progress… Read More »The Truth about Progress: Lapses and Relapses
