June 14, 2023 09:04 - 1 hour - 57.2 MB

As humans, we simply cannot operate at full speed 24/7/....but how many of us try? I know I'm guilty of pushing myself to the maximum capacity trying to do more, have more, be more and squeeze it all in. But somewhere along the way, we begin to shut down. We simply are not hardwired to push and prove all day everyday. Our health takes a toll, a relationship crashes and burns or we find ourselves continually missing things in our kids lives that we never would have dreamed we would miss when...

131: Make The Shift Trailer

April 19, 2023 09:00 - 4 minutes - 4.38 MB

Hey Gorgeous! Welcome to Make The Shift Podcast (formerly known as Becoming Boundaried). This past year in particular I have grown so much personally. I've shed more beliefs, shifted more paradigms and cultivated more peace and freedom than ever before. While boundary work is still vital to my coaching practice and something I will always coach and teach....solely focusing on boundaries alone was starting to feel a bit stifling and out of alignment. And just like I coach my clients and te...

130: Live Coaching: Setting Healthy Boundaries in an Intense Situation with Blessing

April 12, 2023 09:10 - 1 hour - 61.7 MB

Sometimes it can feel like there is so much at stake when we set healthy boundaries. Especially when there are outside influences that appear to have control over our situation. Often family members can especially triggering. We have a lot of history with them and they know exactly what buttons to push (sometimes purposely but more often subconsciously). There are so many old patterns and programs we run with family members it can sometimes feel like we “regress” after just a few minutes o...

If you grew up socialized as a woman, and you identify as a highly sensitive person, there's a good chance that you suffer from what is referred to as 'good girl' conditioning."Good girl" is a phrase tossed around a lot on social media these days and it's something that most of my clients struggle with deeply.

Do you sometimes struggle to have your voice heard, to take up space and to communicate in a way that really own who you are?   So many of us bought into the belief that our voices don't matter.  And yet voice is a way for us to communicate our boundaries, our needs and our truth.  The way we speak is a direct correlation to our confidence and self worth.   Today's guest, Brienne Hennessy is the Founder of Your Vocal Vitality, a highly-sought after Vocal Empowerment Guide, and bestselling ...

February 22, 2023 10:03 - 55 minutes - 50.4 MB

Do you ever feel confused by your relationship with alcohol?   You may be thinking that you don't necessarily have a 'problem' per se, but curious as to why you keep reaching for something that you know deep down is keeping you from feeling the way you want to feel.   The truth is that alcohol in and of itself isn't necessarily a 'bad thing.'  We drink to have fun, be social, celebrate and connect with one another.  However, there can be a fine line between having fun and being social and r...

I can't think of a better time to release this episode than the New Year.  So many of us want to create beautiful things in this fresh season, yet we struggle with comparison, convincing ourselves that we don't have the right skill set to share our gifts.  Or we struggle with fear, believing that we aren't smart enough or qualified to share our opinions and our wisdom.  This doesn't move the needle forward on anything our hearts desire and it leaves us feeling hopeless, insecure and disappoi...

December 28, 2022 10:33 - 42 minutes - 38.7 MB

I created this process of reflection a few years ago because truthfully, it was exactly what I needed.  I spent so much time forging ahead into the New Year, ready to ditch the past and leave everything behind.  I watch many people do the same.  I want to encourage you to reconsider and try something different.  There is so much rich information in the feedback of your life.  And when we don't take the time to complete it, we limit our ability to move forward.  We continue into the new year ...

120: GUILT: The struggle is REAL!

December 14, 2022 10:00 - 46 minutes - 43 MB

Today's podcast was inspired by a question I received from a podcast listener-"Hi Krista! I've been wondering how to deal with the guilt that comes from not wanting to meet and greet elders who I no longer look up to due to their harmful behavior." Here in India, in my family, we women ought to respect and tolerate elders (even if they are mean).  I'm wondering how I can slyly get through this without much heartburn or drama! Sound familiar?  Do you struggle with guilt?  If so, you are not ...

119: HELP! I do all the Holiday Work!!!

December 07, 2022 10:08 - 46 minutes - 42.2 MB

Today's podcast was inspired by a listener named Jan.  Here is what she wrote-"Hi Krista, I love the holidays, but feel I end up doing most of the work, cleaning, decorating, shopping, etc and get exhausted just even thinking about it!  I don't think I get to fully enjoy the holidays as those around me get to." This is such a common issue not only at the holidays, but in everyday life.  Many of us over-help, manage and  strive to be useful and productive at our workplaces, our homes, and in...

118: Boundaries and the Holidays Part 2

November 30, 2022 22:00 - 52 minutes - 47.7 MB

As the holidays approach, like many of you-I too can feel a level of angst.   Sometimes it’s as if someone has taken a small pinhole to my balloon and slowly I am leaking out my life force and vitality.  It’s hard being around family members who don’t show up in a loving, kind and conscious manner. It’s hard to be around friends and family who take zero responsibility for their hurtful behaviors.  And it’s hard to be around friends and family who want to stay stuck on the victim triangle an...

117: Boundaries & The Holidays

November 23, 2022 10:00 - 42 minutes - 38.9 MB

What do you want your holidays to look like, feel like this year? Ultimately how we do anything is how we do everything-so if you don't love how your holidays feel, we have to ask-"where else is that showing up in your life?"  Where have you given your power away and ultimately believe that you don't have choice. When we forget that we have the power of choice-we live our lives un-intentionally.  And days becomes weeks, weeks become years and years become our whole entire life!  I believe ...

116: Breaking the cycle of avoiding conflict with Katie

November 16, 2022 10:00 - 57 minutes - 52.2 MB

What happens when you try to set a boundary with someone but old stories and programming are driving you to feel guilty and say yes. Guilt can be a helpful feeling when we have actually done something wrong.  It allows us the opportunity to re-route our behavior, clean up our mess, make amends and move on.  When looked at this way-guilt can be a beautiful feeling. However, guilt can often be used in an unhealthy manner.  Many times we want to be seen as a good person, so we use guilt to be...

115: Getting your Needs Met this Holiday Season

November 09, 2022 11:17 - 41 minutes - 38.4 MB

How do you feel about the holidays that seem to be approaching so quickly? I spent years like a mixed bag of emotions-excited for the nostalgia and memories to be made-yet immediate exhaustion and angst would quickly approach when I would think about everything that 'needed' to be done.   I said yes to every opportunity-striving and grasping for what I thought would make the holidays perfect.  Yet I left myself and my own personal well being out of the equation.  I was tired from showing up ...

114: Are you always thinking about helping others?

November 02, 2022 09:00 - 20 minutes - 18.5 MB

Today I wanted to share with you all an email I received from a follower.   Beth wrote to me because she was so tired, overwhelmed and stressed from trying to hold so much on her plate.  She was struggling because she believed that there was literally no space for her.  However, while this may have felt true, it's often these paradigms that sound like...." I HAVE to give, serve, fix and manage," which are really keeping us stuck in overwhelm and anxiety.   Beth isn't alone in her question. ...

October 19, 2022 09:12 - 1 hour - 62.7 MB

This episode is about setting boundaries with friends when you are making a choice that they may not agree with.  Today’s caller Jenel grew up in a chaotic environment with a fair share of trauma.  She has such a high tolerance for toxicity and recently found herself in a relationship that carries out the same pattern from her childhood.

October 05, 2022 09:00 - 43 minutes - 39.6 MB

Have you ever wondered why you sometimes react to situations the way that you do? Do you tend to lash out at those you love? Do you self-censor and try not to upset the apple cart? Do you bury yourself in work? Do you scrolling for hours on facebook and instagram? Or do you drown your feelings in a gallon of Cherry Garcia ice cream while watching re-runs of Grace and Frankie for an entire weekend? One of the things that we want to recognize, is that we all have circumstances or relatio...

107: The Sacred Work of Boundaries ( & saying YES to YOU)!

September 14, 2022 10:49 - 32 minutes - 30 MB

This time of year always brings up such conflicting feelings for me. There is the part of me that much like the leaves dying and falling from the trees, longs to surrender and let go of old patterns, behaviors and habits that are no longer serving me. And then, there are the parts of me that want to dive into the harvest and move quickly.  To say YES to opportunities and experiences, and give and serve.   What I have learned about boundary work is that it is deeply sacred.  It is the art o...

105: The Fawn Response-The Real Reason Behind People Pleasing Behavior

August 31, 2022 09:00 - 39 minutes - 36.2 MB

When there is any level of conflict in your relationships, what is your reaction?  Do you try to quickly make the situation okay, do you please others by placating and stepping over your own boundary lines?  Do you find that you walk on egg shells in certain relationships?  Do you have a hard time knowing and expressing what you need? When I first started doing this work,  I noticed that I could have every boundary script ready to go, but still fail to set the boundary.  I began to piece to...

104: Summer Series-Walking through Anger with Dr. Christian Conte

August 24, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 64.7 MB

I love all things emotions but it wasn't always that way.  I used to be so cut off from feeling my feelings and anger was especially hard for me access.  I deemed it wrong, hurtful, extreme and ugly.  Today, I love anger because I understand that this powerful emotion is simply feedback.  It is information that I can use and work through to process pain, shame, or a boundary violation.   Emotions can feel so uncomfortable because of how they modeled for us or because we simply don't know ho...

Do you struggle to make a decision?  Are you terrified that you are going to choose the wrong thing or upset someone if they don't agree with your choice?

Episode 98: People pleasing & kind are not the same

July 13, 2022 09:31 - 43 minutes - 40.3 MB

I believe that everyone has an inner leader-that place within that is connected, curious, confident, creative and wise.  However, when we are blocked by old stories and childhood conditioning we stop ourselves from standing at the helm of our leadership and allowing our inner leader to LEAD.  One of the common ways we block ourselves from activating our inner leader is people pleasing. What I have found however, is that many people don’t always understand what people pleasing is.  Yes we wa...

95: Befriending your Anger with Anchen Texter

June 22, 2022 09:01 - 1 hour - 62.1 MB

We have been conditioned to believe that anger is a negative emotion-especially for us women who have learned to be 'nice."  However, in today's episode, I want to help you understand that anger is a survival mechanism, rooted in passion. If you have a strong desire needing to be expressed that is thwarted, you will have anger.  Just think about the messaging we receive as children around our emotions: Don’t cry. Don’t be scared.

Today's podcast comes from a listener-thank you Shelby! Her question came from wanting to know how to communicate her boundary while letting the other person know when they are being crossed, Shelby was curious as to how we can show that our boundaries have been crossed and let the other person know that it’s not okay, while at the same time let it go, and stand in acceptance.   I love this question, and it's one that many people get hung up on.   This podcast breaks down my thoughts and ...

93. Self Love Meditation

June 08, 2022 09:00 - 20 minutes - 19.2 MB

So much of the love, the safety, the validation that we crave, we look for externally.   We want another person or situation or achieving some goal to make us feel a certain way-but as you know self love is an inside job and as a reminder, self love isn’t something you have to learn.  This doesn’t have to be hard.     Love is who you are-so it really is a process of remembering, of letting go of all those judgments and limiting beliefs about who you are that keep you out of the energy of l...

91. Do you abandon yourself?

May 25, 2022 09:00 - 50 minutes - 46.6 MB

Do you have a hard time trusting yourself? Do you hide parts of yourself – your feelings, beliefs, and ideas – in order to fit in or please others? Do you diminish or discount your feelings because you think they don’t matter? Friends this is self-abandonment. We abandon ourselves when we don’t value ourselves, when we don’t act in our own best interest, and when we don’t encourage and comfort ourselves.  At the root is a lack of self love.  And when we lack self love, we often use coping ...

May 18, 2022 09:00 - 38 minutes - 35.7 MB

What is attachment trauma and how does it correlate with boundaries? Attachment trauma is “a consistent disruption of physical and emotional safety" in the family system.  Our nervous system's are constantly learning how to be in connection with people.
