A Lesson on "Identifying the Ego"

We've all heard before, especially if you're a returning listener to this podcast, that there is an inner voice guiding us in life to the most joyous experience possible. It knows what is best for you, and is always on your side. However, I have often heard others ask, "how do I know which voice is the right one?" Welp, let's just clarify here that there are def two voices, one is your highest self (inner guidance, source, the Universe, God), and the other ... well, without name calling, we'll just be frank and call it the 'ego'. In today's episode, I share with you the few common tricks that the ego has up it's sleeve, and how to identify them as such. What you'll begin to notice is that it's not very creative, and it generally throws at you the same negative thoughts, fears, and worries over and over again. The beauty of this is that once we're able to shine awareness on these common behaviors, it allows you to begin to recognize it's funny tricks and patterns, which then releases them from the hold they've had on you. Remember, the ego truly means well, as it is trying to keep us safe and alive, however, because of this, it can often hold us back on moving forward to the life we're meant to live. My hope is that this episode offers you clarity on which voice is which so that you can begin to listen to the one that will serve you. This way, you can feel free to allow the ego to throw it's tantrums since you'll be too busy chasing your wildest dreams. Enjoy!

A Lesson on "Manifestation Tips"

I talk about manifestation or the law of attraction frequently on my episodes, as this practice and belief system has brought so many desires into my life. I have so much proof that this works, that I can no longer live any other way. Through each experience, I have discovered a few tips and tricks that have allowed me to enjoy the process while on my way to receiving the big goals I have set before me. In today's episode, I figured I'd pull together my top tips to help you manifest whatever it is you're desiring in your life. My hope is that you learn a valuable concept that you can begin to apply immediately, and that it brings with it the results that you're looking for. Enjoy!

A Lesson on "Abundance Mindset"

What the heck is an abundant mindset? You may or may not be asking yourself. Think 'glass half full vs. glass half empty'. It is a way in which we view the world, interpret information, and essentially live our lives. Have you done inventory on where your mindset is at? What are you telling yourself? What do you believe? If you focus on limitation, lack, worry, fear, it will only bring more of those things into your life (what you focus on, you create more of AND where your attention goes, energy flows). Thus, the worse it gets, the worse it gets. However, if you can get to a place where you can flip a coin to the other side and see possibility, more than enough to go around, and that you are fully supported, life get's so much easier. The better it gets, the better it gets.

In today's episode I share some reminders on how you can to shift from a lack mindset (think Eeyore) to an abundance mindset (think Tigger). It's not about being happy all the time and avoiding feeling, as we need to feel what we feel. We're human beings and it isn't possible to not feel a sense of lack (see things from a negative lense) from time to time. However, it is about recognizing when it does happen, letting it go without attaching any guilt to it, and then trying again from this list of reminders. My hope is that it shifts your perspective even in the slightest way to bring you more joy and ease into your life, as that's what we're here for. Enjoy!

A Lesson on "Ways to Embrace Change"

I recently hit the two year anniversary of my Dad's passing, and as hard as it is to believe he has been gone that long already, I also took some time to recognize how much I have grown from this experience. This undesired change has been by far the most challenging thing I've ever gone through, but I have also expanded as a being more than I ever thought I would.

Change, whether it's within our control or not, can be really uncomfortable to go through. As humans, we tend to believe that change is the enemy, but expansion within our world and ourselves cannot happen without it.

In today's episode of Connect Back In podcast, I talk about why change is good, and share with you some reminders to allow you to see the process for what it truly is. If you're experiencing change at the moment, take a listen to help you see a different perspective. My goal is that you hear something that will allow you to lean into the change, feel some relief, and release some of your resistance. Remember, the only thing that is constant in life is change. Learning to master this process will reap so many benefits in your life, and allow you to grow and blossom into the fullest version of you. Enjoy!

A Lesson on "Making Decisions: A Supportive Guide"

I recently went through a breakthrough experience where I finally made a decision on something that was holding me back for over a year and a half! This is highly unlike me as generally when I make a choice, it is as good as done. However, this decision had a hold on me that I wasn't even fully aware of. As we are confronted day in and day out with decisions, sometimes it can be tough to know how to navigate them. Which choice should I make? What if I make the wrong decision? Well, if this is you, or ever has been you, take a listen to today's episode where I walk through some ways in which you can support yourself when making a decision in life, no matter how big or small. My hope is that you gain clarity and through these processes, release some of the pressure on yourself, and remember that we're all figuring it out as we go along, and as always, you are never alone. Enjoy!

A Lesson on "Follow the Nudges" with Lauren Allen

In this week's episode, I sit down with Lauren Allen, the found of Corporate School Dropout. She is not only a friend of mine, but an inspiration to anyone who is looking to ditch the 9 to 5, and follow the internal guidance that tells them they are made for more. She herself went through this process over 4+ years ago now, and through that experience, she took key learnings and developed the community, podcast, and thriving business she has today!

The first step that lead to significant change in Lauren's life came from the guidance that she received from a kind voice within. Do you hear that voice too? Have you followed it's direction? It might feel uncertain as to where it will lead, but in today's episode, we discuss the importance of listening to that internal guidance and how it has lead Lauren to where she is today, along with some other nuggets of wisdom. After all, the goal of this podcast is to remind you to Connect Back In to who you truly are so that you can find everything that you're looking for outside of yourself. My hope is that you feel inspired to start listening to  your own internal nudges, and stop holding back on living the life you were meant to live. Enjoy!

A Lesson on "The Beauty in Sadness"

Today's episode is a little shorter than normal, but nevertheless, is still an important concept that I wanted to share everyone. I recently went through a 'sad' phase, and found myself treating the experience as if it was a negative one, that something was 'wrong' with me. Now, back on the other side of things, I see now how important sadness is to our overall well being and happiness as a human. It is truly a beautiful emotion, that if we can see it as such, allows us to blossom into the fullness of who we are. If you're someone who judges your emotions, this episode might be helpful for you to hear. Enjoy!

A Lesson on "Your Spiritual Superpowers"

I tend to keep my episodes more on the practical side, so the information is relatable to majority of people, however, I've been feeling called lately to share a bit more of my spiritual side, as this is the juice that has shifted my whole world.

In today's episode, I talk about the spiritual superpowers that each and everyone of us hold within us. They are the tools that offer a deep breathe, allow you to slow down, to enjoy the journey of life, and to know that all will be well. It can be hard to recognize these innate resources we hold sometimes, and it isn't because they aren't there, it's just that they've been masked by limiting beliefs or the traps of fear. My hope is that this episode shifts your perspective, even ever so slightly, so you can see all the magic you hold within you. Enjoy!
