What’s the difference between being kind and being a doormat? How much is too much flexibility in relationship? This one if for the People Pleasers attempting to meet the needs of others before assessing and addressing our own needs. The truth is, the “nice guy” pose isn’t sexy and doesn’t get us the life we’re after.

Where does fear originate from? Where does anger originate from? Where does shame originate from? So many of us are struggling with wounds set so deeply into our subconscious that we don’t get a chance to actively heal them. Getting to know these wounded parts as the Inner Child allows us an opportunity to finally meet and befriend the parts of us we thought weren’t allowed to exist. This is largely how we move toward wholeness and understanding our authentic selves. In recognizing the inner child we uncover where we may have experienced abandonment, not being supported or loved, and/or not feeling safe. When we can become aware of these painful areas of our life we can stop letting them seep into our relationships like poison, and we step toward our true power and potential.

Your depth is only as deep as your ability to commit. This sentiment becomes especially apparent in those who view commitment as an act against their freedom. Be it with romantic relationships, friendships, or even in committing to an event or outing with others, our fear of being left high and dry by a lover we commit to, or the social anxiety that arises for many of us when we get asked to commit to an event or social outing, can cause us to clock out of our relationships long before they have a chance to really blossom. In this episode we dance with the ideas around overcommitting and undercommitting, and how both ends of the commitment spectrum are born from a fearful nervous system. If you COMMIT to listening to this episode, we hope our conversation inspires a reframe that helps you understand commitment as a gift you have the privilege of offering to yourself, as well as to others.

We’ve all wondered if we should just settle in relationship, give up, and just spend the rest of our days wondering “what if”. On this episode we explore the dangers of settling for practicality. GODS ONLY DATE OTHER GODS, so this is your cue to stop playing small! We balance this notion with a very insightful theory around putting our partners on a pedestal, and the harmful distancing that can come from it. As we round out this discussion, we take a good look at where our true CONFIDENCE resides, which lends us to dance with the differences between ENTITLEMENT and WORTHINESS.

It’s a tricky tight-rope walk we do when attempting to traverse the contradictions within the human condition. We’re all made of many parts that both value logic AND magic. In our western culture, the mystical and spiritual often become shrouded through the pursuit of science and logic, thereby, we lose touch with an integral part of who we are. As we perform this dance of resistance to the magical side of ourselves we suffer from rejecting the truth of what we want most: full acceptance of all of our parts. In this episode we begin to explore the ways we can play with our mystical side, that keeps onboard our logic-based minds. Befriending these parts, instead of making enemies of them, is the road to having a full-spectrum life where you get to enjoy ALL POSSIBILITIES, removing the imitations that come with living from a one-sided mind. After all… those who don’t believe in magic, will never find it.
