Today I answer a question on knee jerk reactions. How can we detach from the emotions that cause them?

….die young. I don’t know if that’s true, but when someone we love passes away, it brings everything important into focus. 

Most of us want to be more compassionate. But in reality, many of our actions are uncompassionate and don’t bring us the happiness that each of us wants. 

What if the challenges in your life were actually guideposts, pointing you toward what you truly want? In this episode, I explore how difficult situations can bring clarity by highlighting what’s not working and helping you envision what could be better. I’ll share how to use these moments as opportunities to create a life aligned with your values and desires.

It’s completely normal and acceptable for us to spend hours of our day scrolling the internet. Is it a waste of our lives?

Whether it is Thanksgiving in your country or not, today’s podcast is a beautiful reminder of the power of gratitude. And I have a fun little challenge for everyone at the end. 

In today’s podcast, I answer a question from one of my students. She is struggling to connect with her inner voice. I give her a strategy to help her.

…the hardest word. Today I am going to teach you how to say sorry. If you can master this, it will make a big difference in your relationships. 

It can be easy for us to put the focus on ourselves and worry about what others think. Maybe it’s time for us to lighten up a little. 

Being upset or in distress is an uncomfortable feeling. However, it also gives us some tremendous opportunities that we may not be aware of. 

Often we don’t get things right. We sometimes have days where we act far from the kind and loving person we want to be. How can you manage these days without getting down on yourself?

What do you do when anxiety suddenly takes over? In this episode, I explore a simple yet powerful tool to calm your mind and body in moments of stress: your breath. I’ll share how slowing down your breathing can help you regain control and create space for clarity, even in the middle of a hectic day.

When we have things troubling us, how do we deal with them? Should we bring them into the light by discussing them? One of my students asked this question, and in today’s podcast, I answer it. 

We have all heard this saying. Is it true? I think we are going at working hard. I’m not sure we do the resting part so well. 

For some of us, we tend to have a passive attitude to our lives. We want things to change, yet we may not feel we have to step into that change.

What if the key to a happier life is simply letting go? In this episode, I explore how our attachments to emotions, expectations, and outcomes create unnecessary suffering.

It’s not an easy time to be kind. We are faced with a lot of stress and uncertainty. No wonder it is so challenging. 

There is safety in knowing. We can box things and people so we can manage life. It also hinders us into a place of believing we have the world, and other people, figured out. 

It can be easy for us to blame other people for our lack of happiness. Most people do. You don’t need to be one of them. 

How often do you feel like you’re not enough just as you are? In this episode, I explore the transformative power of self-acceptance and why embracing all parts of yourself—flaws and all—is key to finding peace and happiness. I’ll share why letting go of the need to prove yourself can create a profound sense of relief and open you up to living fully.

The world is much more manageable when we divide it into clear cut parts. However, we miss out on so much when we do.
