Do you know who you are? Do you know why you react to things in the way that you do, negative or positive? How would your life be different if you did? Well, in today's episode I speak with Benjie Danquah, a Holistic Life Coach, and we talk through all about the Enneagram and why it is such a beneficial tool to life. What is the Enneagram you may ask? According to Wikipedia, The Enneagram of Personality, or simply the Enneagram, is a model of the human psyche which is principally understood and taught as a typology of nine interconnected personality types. Listen in as Benjie shares a very delightful explanation on what it is, how he uses it in his life, and then we vibe on how knowing who you truly are can be the key that unlocks all of life's goodness. My hope is that you walk away with an intention to get to know yourself a bit better, whether it is through the Enneagram or just simply starting to ask yourself questions. You are the only you there is and ever will be, why not get to know who that person is? Enjoy!

Recently, I have found myself listening to the illusion of fear more so than my higher self, and this can create a lot of challenges in my life. It can be tough to recognize sometimes, as fear has the ability to manifest itself into many different ways, such as trying to control outcomes, being defensive or judgmental, blaming other people or circumstances, and all sorts of other disguises. In today's episode, I talk through the various ways fear can show up in our lives to sabotage, and how once recognized, we can refer back to a few fail safe principles that can pull us out of fear and back into alignment with who we truly are. My hope is that you begin to see fear for what it is, and begin to listen more to that other voice instead, which truly knows all that is best for you. Enjoy!

How would you show up in this world if you knew, without question, that you were enough just as you are with nothing to prove? I know that this one shift in perspective in thought, perhaps the biggest one you can take, could completely transform your life. In today's episode, I share practical reasons why this is not only 100% true, but the benefit of how powerful believing in this is. My hope is that you walk away feeling even the slightest bit more whole in knowing that this is the truth of who you are. Enjoy!

I think the title on this one really explains it all. This week's episode is short and sweet and shares with you some ways to A. recognize when you're being hard on yourself and B. how to be nicer, as well as give yourself more grace, empathy and understanding. Reminding you that we're all do the best that we can with what we know, and that we'll never get it done. Allow yourself to be what you are, just as you are, as that is 100% enough. Enjoy!

Oh boundaries, I have such a new respect for you and all that you have done for my life. At first, I was so scared to use you in my life, but since adopting, life keeps getting better and better, as well as easier and easier. What are boundaries? To me, they are the areas of life that the word 'should' is generally attached to, and often times lead you to saying yes to something or someone, while saying no to yourself.


You may think, "okay, whatever, that's not a big deal?" Yet it totally is. The impact of just one undesired yes can have a waterfall affect that creates a reactionary life where you're not supporting yourself, you're only supporting all that is around you. As I've said a zillion times, you cannot pour from an empty cup, so it is your job to put yourself first. I know, it's the opposite of what majority of us have been taught.


So where do you begin? Well, first you can take a listen to this episode where I talk about the impact of not creating supportive boundaries, AND how you can begin to create them within your life. My hope is that you take away at least one practice that you can start today, which will result in a more joyful, centered life. Enjoy!

I've said more than once on this podcast that your thoughts and beliefs create your experience. I have always believed this, yet when something I dislike would happen to me, I would ask, "why is this happening?", completely retracting this entire belief system. This statement also is under the illusion that things happen 'to me' instead of 'for me'. Recently, while reading Alan Cohen's book, "The Lifestyle's of the Rich in Spirit" he guides us to ask the question "Why did I create this"? When I read that, I had a deep ah-ha moment, fully recognizing that I hold the power over it all, each experience whether I perceive it as good, bad, or whatever.

 

In today's episode, I discuss more about how we truly hold hold the power to own our own lives. I break down how this concept works, and how you can begin to apply it in your own life, taking back the control and giving yourself the credit for the immense influence you hold on your life. Enjoy!

Oh, limiting beliefs. What are they? Well, let's break down the two words. First, limiting, which according to Merriam Webster dictionary means, "functioning as a limit : RESTRICTIVE". Then, there's belief, which they describe as "a state or habit of mind in which trust or confidence is placed in some person or thing". So, once combined, a limiting belief is, "restrictive state of mind in which trust or confidence is placed". Here's the thing, we all have limiting beliefs, however, most of us are not even aware they are there. As I've said many times before on the podcast, once you have awareness of something, it loses it's power, because you're able to see it for what it is.

 

In today's episode, I talk through some example limiting beliefs, how to identify limiting beliefs of your own, how they are holding you back in life, and ways to break free. You are such an incredible, whole, and perfect being, and any thought that goes against it has no room here. Enjoy!

I spent time last week in South Lake Tahoe with a group of amazing beings who are all apart of my holistic life coach training, and it was truly a week to remember. When you immerse yourself in situations with like minded individuals, it creates a container to be vulnerable and to truly connect with others, reminding me that we're not all that different.

In this week's episode, I share the experience of the retreat in more detail, along with all of the incredible learnings I took away with me. It gave me a fresh perspective on my life, and I am still feeling the high vibe effects. My hope is that you feel heard, seen, and recognize the benefit of connecting deeply with others, as well as remembering that we're more alike than we think. We are all connected as one, we are not separate beings going through life alone. Enjoy!

Okay, so perhaps my days as a football cheerleader in high school have blead over into my adult life, as I am so insanely passionate about cheering others on to pursue whatever desire is burning in their heart. You want a new job? You're smart, brilliant, and anyone would be psyched to have you! You want a partner? You are the most beautiful soul I have ever seen, and your person is looking for you to. You want more money? You are an abundance magnet, and there are droves of cash coming your way!

 

Alright, slow down inner cheerleader. What if I really desire something, but I am afraid of going after it? What will 'they' think? What if I don't get it? What if what I want isn't truly meant for me, or I am thinking beyond what is possible? Any of these sound familiar? Well, let's get one thing straight, the ego isn't very creative and in most cases (even though we think our experience is separate from other's) we each feel fear when it comes to chasing our dreams. In today's episode, I break down what the process has looked like for me, some tips to help you along the way, and a bit more 'cheerleading' to convince you that yes, your dreams are meant for you, and yes, you can have whatever it is that you want. Enjoy!

This past week I turned 35, and as I always do, I took some time to reflect on the past year. I ask myself, 'what am I most proud of myself for?', 'what challenges did I overcome, and what did I learn from them?', and then finish up with 100 gratitude's that capture the milestones or the juicy simple moments that I appreciated. I believe that reflection is such an important process to life. We grow little by little, so much so, that we sometimes forget to recognize how far we have come. Today's episode honor's this process as I share the top lessons I learned from this past year that have supported my growth and well being. My hope is that you take at minimum one of the concepts and try it on for size in your own life to see if you experience the same blessings that I did from it. Enjoy!
