Whiskey in your Coffee

In this episode, Whit and I have a  real, raw conversation about advice from dads, and how we both handle situations completely opposite. My dad once told me to "be less emotional" which was not how I wanted to handle the situation but some of the best advice I could have gotten. He was simply saying slow down, think, breathe. This is key for me to stay out of what I call the rabbit hole, aka the layer of shit we create when we don't slow down enough to think. As always take it 8 seconds at a time and remember you've got this. 

“To be a spiritual warrior, one must have a broken heart; without a broken heart and the sense of tenderness and vulnerability that is in one’s self and all others, your warriorship is untrustworthy.”  Chogyam Trungpa

It is the little things that add up to be our lives. In this episode, the wonderful Whitney Watts shares her story and how the little things can make a big difference. Sometimes it's a smile to a stranger, a reminder to make yourself a healthy meal, or even buy a plant to take care of that can get you through a rough day or season. A reminder to take it 8 seconds at a time and remember to self-care isn't selfish.

What gets's in your way? Could it possibly be your own shadow, being afraid of your own power? I share my story of getting on my first horse Waylon and being so afraid I froze. As well as getting out of your own way and stop being afraid of your shadow. 

How are you showing up in life? This week we dive into how you show up at the table and the importance of showing up. It's not always about how you show up, it's about the fact that you did. Remember to do your best and when you feel overwhelmed, remember to breathe and you are not alone! Also, remember... a Turkey has Two Legs!
