Trigger, Feeling, Story, Behavior, Outcome

Trigger, Feeling, Story, Behavior, Outcome

Our human-ness is so endearing and predictable.  . . . Also our ego is so good at doing its job, and it loves a good story. Especially a story that is familiar.  . . . The problem is: once the story-lining starts and the behaviors kick in - it's a matter of time before we see a predictable outcome, even if we KNOW it's not what we actually want.  . . . How the fuck does this happen?  . . . It all makes sense when we start to learn our own Order of Operations which is typically churned out by our own internal default setting and vastly influenced by our unprocessed trauma.  . . . It plays out as follows:  . . . 1) Trigger: The internal or external factor that creates a somatic response in the body  . . . 2) Feeling: The somatic emotion that begins in the body which does not contain language  . . . 3) Story: The "meaning making" mechanism in the brain that puts language to the somatic emotion based on past experiences - with the intention of creating certainty . . . 4) Behavior: the adaptive actions taken by an individual  . . . 5) Outcome: The end result  . . . People that come to session confused and frustrated about continuing to get the same undesirable results are usually in this repetitive loop of repeating #1 through #5 over, and over, AND OVER.  . . . But there's a way to disrupt this.  . . . How do you do it?? . . . You pause and sit with #2.  . . . Before the goddamn Story Train leaves the station.  . . . Most of what gets people stuck in a repetitive pattern is NOT the circumstantial triggers that happen.  . . . It's the attachment to the same, old, tired, played out, predictable story.  . . . Which begets the same, old, predictable, played  out behaviors.  . . . Which produce the SAME BLOODY OUTCOMES.  . . . Moral of the story.  . . . Wanna change your life??  . . . Feel your shit. . . . And lose your story. . . . This will lead to changed behaviors.  . . . Which will produce a better outcome.

"The Work"

"The Work"

Happy New Year!  After the 2020 we just endured, I figured that we needed to come back together consistently and so here we are.

I wanted to offer a quick update on where I am personally AND make a commitment to show up to the podcast each week where we can make some space for 'The Work' to kick off 2021. 

To me, The Work means taking full responsibility for your life, looking under the hood and discovering who you are authentically.  This includes activating your potential, healing your trauma and valuing both equally. 

 The Work influences everything in your life and spending time doing this Work will be evident in the gym, your body image,  your career, your family all your relationships and how you show up in life's circumstances.

Today, we set the scence for the year to come and we map out the 9 truths of The Work at least from my perspective, haha! 

The 9 Truths of The Work 

1) Vulnerability is the price of admission 

2) No one can do The Work for you, but you can't do it alone 

3) You cannot read the label from inside the jar. 

4) All your experiences and all of your relationships are reflecting back to you both evidence of your authentic self AND the places you need to heal.

5) Self Care while doing The Work is non-negotiable 

6) Once you learn the truths of doing The Work you cannot un-know them

7) As you commit to doing The Work not everyone in your life will understand it or support it. 

8) It's harder at first but it gets easier the longer you're committed to showing up to do The Work. 

9)  Doing The Work never stops.

Are they toxic or are they challenging? And what that has to do with you.

Ever tossed out the phrase "I don't hang out with her anymore because she's toxic"? It's true that some people are just downright awful, but what about the people that we have in our lives that are challening us to learn more about ourselves? Where's the distinction and how does that ultimately circle back to you and your own tolerance for toxicity? We dig in today on The Alchemy.

An Alchemy Style Take on the Four Agreements

An Alchemy Style Take on the Four Agreements

Welcome back to season two of The Alchemy Podcast!!

What do we hope do do here? Not much besides move you closer to who you're meant to be, and we use challenges, adversity, hard conversations and hardcore realizations to do it.  That's it...no more, no less.

In this one we dig into The Four Agreements, - four principles that truly help you live a happier and more grounded life.  They's based on a book written by Don Miguel Ruiz and his work has helped millions of people think differently about how they act in the world

According to Ruiz, The Four Agreements are: 

1) Be impeccable with your word. 

2) Don't take anything personally. 

3) Don't make assumptions. 

4) Always do your best. 

I break these agreements down for you Alchemy style and use my own personal experiences about how these principles have helped me. If you've never heard of the Four Agreements before, they are so simple it's almost impossible to not be able to instantly begin using them, and if you've known about them in the past - this will serve as a really great reminder of how much they can impact your life.

Confirmation Bias and Rationalizations - Have you ever gone a day without either one?

Confirmation Bias and Rationalizations - Have you ever gone a day without either one?

Welcome back to season two of The Alchemy Podcast!!

What do we hope do do here? Not much besides move you closer to who you're meant to be, and we use challenges, adversity, hard conversations and hardcore realizations to do it.  That's it...no more, no less. 

In this episode we explore two areas...

con·fir·ma·tion bi·as

The tendency to interpret new evidence as confirmation of one's existing beliefs or theories.

ra·tion·al·i·za·tion

The action of attempting to explain or justify behavior or an attitude with logical reasons, even if these are not appropriate.
"most people are prone to self-deceptive rationalization"

Think you're not influenced by these things? Take a listen... you might be surprised how often you unknowingly let these two benign internal default settings run the show and what the antidote is. 

We'd love to introduce you to OUR FIRST OFFICIAL SPONSOR!! My dear friend Hannah Stone, is a huge inspiration for this podcast as well a gifted artist, designer and avid Alchemy Podcast Listener!  Her apparel line is vibrant, woke and garaunteed to out you in a good mood.  Here's more about her mission: 

We are not just apparel…

We are moments of color when you need them.

You don't have to have your life together to put these babies on. All you have to be is your true authentic self. Your messy, silly, irritated , hilarious, stressed, fabulous self.

There are no rules to who's permitted to slip into this configuration of hues and fibers. The only prerequisite is reminding yourself that maybe, just maybe, you deserve to stand out…

You're allowed. You are a freakin' rock star no matter what age or what size.

Grabbing yo' coffee? SLAY.

Tripped over the curb? FIERCE.

Creeping on Instagram? HOLLA

Oh! and the fit?

Its mindblowing! It’s like wearing Spanx as outer wear but without the feeling of being squished We use a special compression fit performance fabric that is opaque, won’t lose shape, and features vibrant, non-fading colour.

100 out of 100 mummy tummies  LOVE my leggings:)  It’s a feeling of freedom and ease when you slip into a pair of these bad boys.

Hustling vs. Aligning

Hustling vs. Aligning

Hustling is such a buzz word for us. It's all about getting after it, getting it done, doing more, being busy, and pushing through. It's appropriate and necessary in lots of situations, but do we over value it? How often do we ask ourselves..."does this feel right?" "do I even like this person?" "do I like doing this?" etc. Alignment can sound pretty weird to us, especially these days. When I first heard it used to describe what it means to lean more into what feels right, or true I was like...'oh, ok...do I need some damn crystals to seal the deal on this shit or what?' but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that when I went for the hustle over the what felt right...it always lent to pain or getting off track. Hustling values being busy and doing more, where alignment places the value on what we know to be true and what feels right. It's an over simplified way of making the distinction between these two ways doing doing things, but once you really begin to assess where you tend to put your energy it can be a game changer. I hope with this bit perspective, it will give you pause to hustle less and align more.

I AM:_______. The reverse interview with Claire Spencer of Watrrr.com

I AM:_______. The reverse interview with Claire Spencer of Watrrr.com

Today we shift gears a bit on the podcast. My dear friend Claire Spencer, digital marketing manager and co-founder of Watrrr.com, sits down to pick my brain a bit about what "I am statements", or affrimations can come from dealing with a specific adversity or challenge. She helps me unpack three statements that, after reflection, I discovered after navigating a tough transistion and she believes that we all have the ability to find our own words of strength when we need them...no matter how tough the 'valley.'
My personal "I AM" statements that Claire helped me uncover were:
* I AM STRONG
* I AM FEAR(LESS)
* I AM ENOUGH
What are yours?
Claire was hoping to play with this format before launching her own podcast for her company, and I was so excited to be her guinea pig.
Her company, Watrrr, is a mission driven platfrom to empower EVERYONE, one sip of water at a time.
"I AM" isn't just about water. It's about YOU. You are BRAVE. You are WORTHY. You are STRONG. You are LOVED. You are LIMITLESS. You are ENOUGH.

I am WATRRR was started in August 2018 by two friends in Phoenix, Arizona. Since then, our team has grown exponentially with people of all ages who are just as passionate as we are about empowering themselves and spreading a message of love and empowerment to others.

Keep up with them on social media with #WATRRR and @iamwatrrr

You are the creator of your reality. Make it extraordinary!

"the company found passenger travel a distraction from the main business of moving freight" synonyms: diversion, interruption, disturbance, intrusion, interference, obstruction, hindrance "he called these stories a distraction from the real issues" 2. extreme agitation of the mind or emotions. "he knew she was nervous by her uncharacteristic air of distraction" synonyms: frenzy, hysteria, mental distress, madness, insanity, wildness, mania, derangement, delirium.  We uncover the cost of distractions and how they can keep us complacent, unfocused and in direct opposition to the things we want to accomplish.  Some are less obvious than others, and it's the subconscious distractions we often pay the biggest price for.   The antidote distraction can be complex, but the first step is being aware of it.  Once we identify what's taking away our attention, we can apply simple practices to take back our energy and subsequent focus. It's not easy, but with a little direction and some added accountability - we can keep this beast off our backs and get to wok doing the things we know we need to do to become who we know we are supposed to.   Audio Clips:  "Resistance's greatest hits.'"

Ever had a rough patch? A dark night of the soul? One of those long (or even short) stretches of time where you just can't seem to get over a break up, or the death of a loved one? Ever had a situation that you felt like you couldn't traverse, like getting laid off or some big failure or major fuck up? I get it. There have been times in my life when I felt life a human punching bag, and wasn't sure I could muster up the energy to make lunches fir the kids let alone get out of bed.
Alas... some way, some how we always manage to get through. Sometimes we emerge with restentment or anger and other times we trudge through and gain new sense of clarity and inner strength.
Today, we dive deep into the dark night of the soul... defined as: a period of spiritual desolation suffered by a mystic in which all sense of consolation is removed. Pretty heavy, right? Yikes.
I think of it as a period of time where you feel lost, are in a dark place and most of what you thought you knew about yourself get stripped away. In a nutshell? Not a fun time.
BUT!! Is there a benefit to all this pain? Also. How do you get yourself thorugh it with out losing the lesson it likely has for you?
We go all the way there. Love you guys.
Hope you enjoy.

In today's episode we identify your "Dream Cockblockers" (I can't stop laughing about this word - it is the BEST.) 

What's the 'tradish' definition of Cockblocking? Well, according to Wikipedia it goes like this: Cockblock is a slang term for an action, intentional or not, that serves to prevent someone from having Such behavior is often motivated by jealousy or competitiveness, although it is sometimes accidental or inadvertent. A cockblock or cockblocker is a person who engages in such obstruction or intervention. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cockblock) 

We use this analogy and apply it to your own dreams - not just trying to get laid.  Where do dream cockblockers show up and what's the cost?  How often do you cockblock yourself??

We talk about three types of cockblockers: The "Beige," The Nay-Sayer and The Douchebag.  I'm sure you can identify these different cockblocking archetypes in your own life: but the scary part is: we have a little bit of each of them inside us as well. 

Give a listen!  Don't for get to subscribe, rate and review and share!

Love you guys and beware of your of dream cockblockers!

If you’re ready to reframe your thoughts on fitness and weight loss...

If you’re ready to reframe your thoughts on fitness and weight loss...

In this episode my friend and fellow fitness wellness expert Christina Barrett introduce our very first collabortative project just in time for the new year.   We have combined our skill sets to offer an 8 week comprehensive Lifestyle Design Course with the intention of getting you off the fitness and wellness rollercoaster.  I hope this helps you as much as it has helped us. Learnmore about Christina and her 25 years of fitness experience here: https://www.facebook.com/christina.barrett.792 Have you tried absolutely everything? Are you sick of starting a new fitness program or diet plan only to find yourself seeing the same results over and over again? We get it. With over 30 years of combined experience in the fitness and wellness industry, we have seen it all, and have likely tried it too. We got tired of watching the struggle with ineffective stratgies that left people feeling disempowered and ashamed. We worked to develop a Lifestyle Design Course that debunked all the bullshit, told the truth and offered a platform that was geared towards lasting results. We wrote the course that we wished we had when we first started in this industry. We wrote it for us, and for you. Christina and Trish have a shared value system when it comes to what wellness means, and have worked collaboratively to develop a course that cobbles together their many years of experience as well as their unique skill sets. They believe wellness is deeper than a number on a scale or eliminating carbs. They believe that fitness can be the Trojan Horse of self development and can offer exponential benefits to all areas of life - not just the way your pants fit. Their intention with this course is not just to help you lose weight or change your body composition, but more importantly - to reframe your beliefs, patterns and approach to what a sustainable lifestyle in a body that you love, appreciate and accept really means. There are no restrictive diets prescribed, no harsh food eliminations, no shakes, no supplements, and no brutal workouts. These strategies don’t work and they only perpetuate a severely broken system - one that both Christina and Trish are trying to shift, even if it’s in a small way. This 8 week platform will include science based information, sustainable daily practices, community, self exploration and truth. This experience was built to educate and empower you - not just to tell you what to do. If you are looking for the next quick-fix, latest cleanse or fad, this program will not work for you. This experience will require you to go deeper, look hard at old patterns, take responsibility for meeting yourself where you are and commit to a new way of thinking. If you’re ready to start 2019 with a new outlook on what all of this means to youand you’re open to a new way to looking at your body, your life and yourself, this course if perfect for you. Course Cost: $575: https://www.trainerize.me/profile/thealchemy/?planID=20977  Intallment package available for two payments of $289: https://www.trainerize.me/profile/thealchemy/?planID=20978 Use the code: 2019 for 10% off either option before 1/13/19  Read more about the course here: http://thealchemycoaching.com/new-page/ Course details: 8 Week comprehensive lifestyle platfrom created with the intention of undoing old patterns, taking back your power and reframing your ideas about fitness, nutrition, body image and self.

The Dream Snatching Quicksand of Analysis Paralysis

The Dream Snatching Quicksand of Analysis Paralysis

Analysis paralysis describes a moment where over-analyzing or over-thinking a situation can cause it to become 'paralyzed', meaning that no action was taken therefore a solution is not reached. A situation may be deemed as too complicated and a decision is never made due to the fear that a potentially larger problem may arise. A person may desire a perfect solution but fear making a decision that could result in error, while on the way to a better solution. (Wikipedia)

Sound familiar? Analysis Paralysis can take you down fast, and the scariest part is, if we don't find a way out of it...it could cost us our dream.

In today's episode, we examine all of this and talk about the cost of it...and most importantly: a way the hell out of it.

The only cure for Analysis Paralysis is action and when we take action there is always a risk that we'll be wrong, but as Seth Godin says: "Being wrong is worse than doing nothing."

We talk about the steps to take action: 1) Your Outcome 2) Your Why 3) Your actions, and we talk about why Your Outcome drives all of it - not the "to do" list.

By far the best book I've ever read on taking action for things like this is: "The War of Art" by Steven Pressfield. I read it at least twice a year. I highly recommend picking it up if you feel stuck. It's a quick, direct and eazy read!

I hope you learn a ton. Love you guys!

Too Much - a collaboration

Too Much - a collaboration

After the huge response from one of our most popular episodes, "Too-Muchness" I wanted to open up the platfrom to our listeners so that they could share their own stories. This collaboration blew me away. In a world where, as women, we are continually getting the underlying message to " be small" and adhere to a norm that has us being less than we could be, the "you're too much" trigger is one that I felt was really important to hghlight. When a woman is told what she's doing or how she's behaving is "too much" I believe it's part of a bigger systemic issue. Without "too-much" there are no new ideas, new conversations, or growth. There are just old ways of being, old patterns as well as pushed down feelings and potential. In this episode we explore all of that and with the help of our listener's contributions as well as the thoughts and experiences of our previous guests, we can see how insidious this seemingly benign phrase can be to a woman's spirit. From marriage, to family, to relationships at work and with other men and women, these stories help to illustrate the box this term puts us in and why it's time to stop tolerating it. Our job is to be who we are, and being "too-much" is a huge part of moving the collective needle forward. From our emotions, and personalities, to our talents and dreams...my call to action for you is to keep being too much. Every. Single. Day. We need you.

I'd like to thank every single one of you for being a part of this and helping me to have this conversation.

A huge shout out to Liz Vetrano, Caitlin Marcoux, Stephanie Perrotti, Robyn Stockdale, Michelle DaRin, Chantal Erasmus, Kim Boyle, and Shawn Cheshire for their contributions and support.

Knowing your value

Knowing your value

"The world is filled with people who, no matter what you do, will point blank not like you. But it is also filled with those who will love you fiercley. They are your people. You are not for everything and that’s OK. Talk to the people who can hear you.

Don’t waste your precious time and gifts trying to convince them of your value, they won’t ever want what you’re selling. Don’t convince them to walk alongside you. You’ll be wasting both your time and theirs and will likely inflict unnecessary wounds, which will take precious time to heal. You are not for them and they are not for you; politely wave them on and continue along your way. Sharing your path with someone is a sacred gift; don’t cheapen it by rolling yours in the wrong direction" -Rebecca Campbell

What's your value? Do you know? How often do you advocate for it, or do an assessment of it? As they say, you can't fill from a empty cup, and you can't put your value in the hands of others for appraisal. It's something you have to do yourself. It has to come from you. Once you're clear on it, and you stand by it...you'll be amazed how it translates not only to business and work - but also to your relationships and even your physical and spiritual practices.

Understanding the power you hold when you know your value is probably one of the most important things you can do for yourself.

Robyn Stockdale - Rockstar, Creative Director, Spirit Junkie

So excited to introduce you to my dear friend Robyn Stockdale. You can find her at Robynstockdale.com and explore some of her creative projects from videography, to photography and how she uses her skills in creative project managment. As an artist and singer herself, she has a gift for taking a creative idea from the first spark to completion in her unique way. We go all over the place on this one from branding and business cards to being "too much" and a tom boy growing up all the way up to her spiritual journey. The big takeaway for me, is Robyn's perspective on how people can act as a mirror for things inside you that need attention. Such a mindblowing and life changing concept. She works closely with the Center of Grace in Manlius (centerofgraceny.com) where you can learn more, and you can also see her September 23rd at 6pm for the Icons and Idols event where all proceeds will benefit Opheliasplace.org. You can purchase tickets at redshoesblackbag.com
