47. "I KNOW... But I FEEL The Opposite"

47. "I KNOW... But I FEEL The Opposite"

If you've said things like…

“I know they probably don’t hate me… but I FEEL like they do.”

“I know everything will be ok… but I FEEL like it won’t be.”

“I know I am good enough for them… but I don’t FEEL like I am.”

“I know I am loved… but I don’t FEEL loved.”

“I know I am capable of achieving more… but I FEEL so incapable…”

And maybe you’ve questioned why “knowing better” isn’t enough to shift how you’re acting in world and how you’re perceiving yourself...

In this episode, I explore why we can't integrate a better mindset / higher perspective on a situation when we FEEL some strong feelings about it.


*IMPORTANT NOTE* - If you have a strong resistance towards being in your body and feeling, this could be a sign of unintegrated Trauma. The kind of work talked about in this podcast could take you out of your window of tolerance and that could be unsafe for you. If you want to do deep healing work around Big-T Trauma, work with a professional who's trained to work with Trauma, like a Somatic Psychotherapist.

44. "Limiting Beliefs" That You KNOW Aren't True (But They're Still There...)

44. "Limiting Beliefs" That You KNOW Aren't True (But They're Still There...)

Have you noticed that you have a lot of negative thoughts and limiting beliefs that you “know” aren’t true?


Maybe thoughts about yourself or your body that get you down, like I’m ugly or I’m not good enough or no one could ever really love me this way… and when you recognize those thoughts happening you hear repeats in your head of every self love and healing inspired quote that tells you that that thought you were thinking is simply a self-abusing lie? 


And even though you KNOW that, and believe that negative self talk isn’t true… or at least want to believe it’s not true… those same self-abusing whispers seem to be the filter you experience much of your life and yourself through? 


In this episode, I explain why simply "knowing better" and deciding that you want to believe something more positive about yourself / your life often isn't enough to transform the impact these "negative" beliefs have on your life, your self-esteem, your relationships, etc.


And then I take you through a process of reprogramming your unconscious mind to allow a positive shift in your belief systems to happen more permanently and organically.

43. Existential Kink: Stranded In India Without A Passport

43. Existential Kink: Stranded In India Without A Passport

What if everything you dislike and disprove of in your life... you actually want in some really deep, weird, f*ked up way?


After my 25 hour itinerary to Australia turned into a 5 day disastrous journey of getting stranded in India without a passport... looping in my anxiety and stress over all of the powerlessness and uncertainty that continued presenting itself in different ways... the long stretches of waiting for answers became time spent in introspection (as I do)


and I began to apply a concept I have heard about + worked with many times in my life; Having is evidence of wanting.


If I'm stuck in a situation I really, REALLY do not like... I've learned to use this as an invitation to explore if there's any part of me that I'm unaware of that actually, weirdly, is getting something desirable from this situation I don't like.


And through this curiosity I received many insights detailing my deep, weird, f*ked up desire to be a victim and receive others' pity...


I know... gross.


In this episode, I explore the importance in recognizing, owning and embracing that the very thing you don't want... is actually something that you DO want, no matter how "wrong" it feels to want it.


And how you can USE this awareness and these tools to align your unconscious + conscious minds and more easily get what you DO want (and get out of your own way!)

42. The key to sustainable results is not what you think it is (ie. macros)

In this episode, I talk about the common idea of "maintainable" and "sustainable" in the fitness + diet space and how counting macros / flexible dieting isn't the end-all-be-all solution to unsustainble results.

41. This is LIVING

41. This is LIVING

In this episode, I talk about the types of experiences, relationships and achievements really available to you when your energy isn’t consumed by the pursuit of MORE or BETTER. Rather than chasing a better life in the future, realize the act of chasing is what's stopping you from living.

40. Forget transformation photos + challenges and do this instead

In this episode, I talk about the word TRANSFORMATION: the ways we've been conditioned to view + approach it (especially from the fitness + weight-loss industries), the shadow sides + inefficiencies of approaching it this way and some examples of how to truly transform your life from the inside -> out.

39. Change where you are by accepting where you are

In this episode, I talk about the inefficiencies of our typical approach to goals and change: using our resistance and judgement of where we are as motivation to change it.

38. Releasing the shame in ease

38. Releasing the shame in ease

In this episode, I talk about the inherent shame that comes from desiring ease in a world where working hard, grinding and expressing tons of effort is associated with our value and success... and how allowing for ease can actually set us up for more success in our goals and for the rest of our lives.

26. What if my perception of myself is what’s broken?

I’m healing & growing so much in social environments these days… and this breakthrough was definitely initiated by my current social life. When my poor body image patterns are triggered, I can feel myself resisting any external influence that I receive to feel good about myself and my appearance. I’m learning more and more how much my body image issues have so little to do with my actual body. This episode, I share a breakthrough that I witnessed in a client recently that I later realized was something I needed to apply to myself.
