106: Making Peace with the Present
The Next Level
11/30/17 • 11 min
Any time we try to change something in our life, we find out how we REALLY handle change. We all have a very predictable way that we respond emotionally to the uncertainty that inevitably arises when we go about creating change. This emotional response is woven into the fabric of our current circumstance and when we can understand what that response looks like and make peace with the present, we can start to cultivate the emotions of our end goal and maintain the emotional terrain necessary for change.
In this episode you'll learn
- How to cultivate the set of emotions that you want to experience
- Why getting clear on what you want to experience instead will help you create peace with the present
- How to stay centered even when you feel triggered
- Tips for fueling your future and not the frustration of the present moment
- A set of questions to ask yourself about how you really want to feel
- How you always have a choice to choose something different
- Playing the game of to do's and to be's to get to where you want in life
- How to extract the lessons from life's situations
- A nightly practice to cultivate new actions and emotional states
- How you respond to change
154: 3 Subtle Shifts That Will Change The Way You Work
The Next Level
11/21/19 • 25 min
Today I talk about 3 subtle but powerful shifts that will completely change the way you work. These shifts made consistently accumulate over time. In this show, I dive into how we can start listening to our environment and our internal queues so we can stop trying to just power through and achieving with more ease. These shifts are: Give because you can, not because you expect something in return, stop doubting and checking and start trusting and giving, and defy gravity - find out what you do when your energy dips and replace it with something else.
161: Breaking the Cycle of Being Stuck and Unproductive
The Next Level
12/10/19 • 8 min
This isn’t something I normally dive into outside of my private client interactions, but it’s such a game changer that I wanted to pull back the curtain and give you a glimpse into how this works. The majority of people I work with are doing. They’re not sitting around waiting for something to happen. In most cases, the things they’re doing aren’t producing the desired results. They’ve read the books, taken online courses, listened to podcasts, but the strategies fail to meet their needs of the moment. When the strategy isn’t working, our instinct tells us to push harder and do more. But what happens is we just consume more, do more, and more often than not, do more of the same thing that’s not working hoping that if we do enough, we’ll get a different result...
159: I Wish I Started Sooner
The Next Level
12/04/19 • 6 min
Regret is what happens when we wait too long to get started. We buy into the self-doubt, procrastination, the “someday I will(s).” But someday never comes and the vision of life becomes something hoped for instead of something being moved toward. The unimportant and the inconsequential find their way into the day and the pull of our heart gets pushed aside. Waiting too long turns into regret. And when it gets to that point, there’s no getting that time back...

The more we dive into self-isolation and social distancing the more I've had the opportunity to examine what comes up in response to the conditions. In this episode I walk through 4 steps you can take to make peace with what's coming up. Take 100 % responsibility for your actions and emotions, Examine past events that left a mark - In a safe container, Set goals based on the future version of yourself, Know what you value and realize it all get’s to fit together. This time can be a proving ground for your limitations OR an opportunity to move through blocks and create an entirely new story for you and your family.
174: How To Consistently Get Into Action
The Next Level
01/16/20 • 17 min
I was having a conversation with someone today at a meeting and after chatting with her this became super clear. We were talking about different phases of a business and how the start up phase can be super stressful and even how the success of the business can be measured by our ability to manage and hold that chaos long enough for it to turn into something that we can organize and delegate. Then we were talking about the next big milestone when revenue is consistently coming in the door but we're juggling so many projects that it is absolutely crazy-making! On today's show I dive into What this phase looks like and the emotions that show up, Why we stop ourselves and what to do to get over the hump, How to develop confidence and tactfully push up against your edges, Navigating the transition or reinvention...
173: Focus On The Effort NOT The Outcome
The Next Level
01/09/20 • 14 min
I heard Dr. Joe Dispenza answer a student's question with this statement: "Focus on the effort, not the outcome." At first I thought that sounded a little strange. I always hear the opposite. But the more I practice this the more useful it's proving to be to get out of some of my old ways of being and focus on the task at hand. On today's show I talk about: Why focusing on the outcome too much can actually cause stress and panic, How to test this for yourself and how it works in slightly different ways for different people, How putting your focus on the effort can help you eliminate distraction, lack of focus, and even motivation, Why the desire to incessantly check your email, social media, text, or your phone is actually slowing you down and keeping what you want further away, How you know this practice is working or not, And more...

I invited Sarah Sherwood back on the show today to talk about adult attachment theory and adult attachment styles. I'm relatively new to attachment theory, but the little I have dug into it helped me start understanding my own patterns of relating and why they exist.
The basic understanding of this theory is that how you regulate and experience yourself is in some ways a product of how you learned to relate with your primary care givers. We develop patterns of engaging with other people and relating based on whether or not our needs were being met and whether or not the world felt safe.
As you'll hear Sarah talk about, we develop behaviors from that experience to relate with other people to ensure we get what we need.
In this episode you'll learn
- How each of us have these biologically wired in patterns of relating
- Our most driving need is connection with other humans and how that helps us understand our sense of safety
- How these styles get patterned into our nervous system
- The 4 Attachment styles
- How our emotional needs getting met or not greatly impacts our attachment style and patterns of relating
- The relationship between attachment style and healthy boundries
- How anxiety and distraction could possibly stem from these attachment styles
- A mantra for parents is perceptive over perfect
- Having a balance between chaos and rigidity in parenting
- Practicing affective communication and vulnerability in safe relationships are some of the biggest places to start
110: Moving From The Head to The Heart
The Next Level
12/14/17 • 7 min
In a society where we place a high value on the intellect, it can be a tough to drop into how we really feel about making choices in our life.
I've personally found it extremely valuable to be able to tap into a deeper intelligence to navigate life's choices and be able to draw upon the feeling of a decision.
In a recent coaching session with a client we came up with a great analogy that helped her clear the mental clutter and drop into a deeper more resourceful place to make the choice she was up against.
In today's episode I'll unpack what that looks like and how to move from a more frenetic whack-a-mole state to a place of yummy tummy. I know that sounds a little strange, but you'll hear all about it in today's show.
In this episode you'll learn
- How to move from mental noise to a place of deeper knowing
- A strategy for cultivating child like curiosity
- Another way to make choices based on feeling
- How to start passing options through each state... whack-a-mole and yummy tummy

In times of uncertainty and transition, finding a semblance of peace in the unfolding can be difficult. There have been many times on my own journey where I've questioned my choices, even though it seemed like the right thing to do at the moment.
Any time I'm in the midst of change, or speak with someone who is, I revisit one particular episode of the show and even offer it as sort of a prescription for those finding their way.
A while back I had Charles Eisenstein on to talk about the space between stories. Charles is a super modest guy and will even tell you himself that "I know that my books and other work comes from a deep, inspired source, but that source is not me! It is more like I’m connecting to a field of knowledge, or to a story that wants to be told. This knowledge is as much my teacher as it is anyone else’s. I’m kind of ordinary, compared to some of the amazing people I keep meeting. I’m just as much in the learning as anyone else, wandering as best I can toward “the more beautiful world my heart knows is possible,” encumbered by the programming and the wounds of our civilization."
Charles Eisenstein is a speaker and writer focusing on themes of human culture and identity. He is the author of several books, including Sacred Economics, The More Beautiful World our Hearts Know is Possible, and Climate: A New Story which hits the shelves September 18, 2018.
This short episode dives into a few concepts I found very useful when navigating the space between stories, which at times can feel like a smashing of an old identity and the land grab for who we will become. This episode is a clip from our previous conversation.
We talk about
- True surrender, letting go, and trusting the process of life
- Understanding different aspects of letting go of the old story like regret, going back to the familiar, being in utter stillness, and getting excited about one thing after another and dropping them
- How no action is insignificant The illusion of power and impact
- How the heart and the mind have their own opinion
- The concept of morphic resonance
