Impermanence, Death and Other Sexy Things
July 09, 2020 08:00 - 23 minutes - 16.3 MBThink about this for a minute: if you knew – like really knew – you only had a year or a month or however long left to live, how would your mindset change? How many of those inner obstacles currently holding you back would fall away if you truly grasped the impermanent nature of your own life? Because we think we have time, we spend time on habits (mental, physical, and spiritual) that distract us from creating the life we’re meant to live. We allow ourselves to remain in that comfortable c...
How to Get Clear About What You Want
July 02, 2020 08:00 - 21 minutes - 15 MBYou probably think you know what ‘s important to you, right? But in my coaching practice, I’ve found that while most people believe their values are very clear to them, when it comes down to putting words to our values, a lot of people get stuck! That’s totally OK – and to be expected, because not a lot of folks have been given the chance to sit down and consciously reflect on all this. It might seem like a no-brainer, but it takes more conscious effort and commitment than one might thin...
Know Your Values - The Rebel Buddhist Manifesto
June 25, 2020 08:00 - 21 minutes - 15.1 MBEver have moments where this realization just hits you like a runaway train? “Oh shit, I am not living in alignment with my values right now. How did I end up here?” Yeah. I hear you. I’ve been there. And it can be a pretty stop-you-in-your-tracks, flip-your-world-upside-down kinda moment. Because then the second realization comes: “I’m so fucking unhappy. It’s gonna take so much work to change this.” Then maybe: “I’m not sure I’m up to the task.” If this is you, I’ve got you! I’m with you...
Being Selfish to Avoid Burnout
June 18, 2020 08:00 - 25 minutes - 17.6 MBMany people are facing a hard realization right now: “If I don’t learn how to take care of myself, I will burn out.” It’s true. You cannot dedicate yourself to creating the life you want, contributing to and changing the world… and then ignore your own bodily, mental and spiritual needs. Because that’s what causes self-combustion. And then you’re not helping yourself, let alone anyone else. In reality, it’s a balancing act – in order to show up for others in your fullest capacity, you must...
True Allyship and the Willingness to be Uncomfortable
June 11, 2020 08:00 - 36 minutes - 25 MBIf you’re like most mindful people right now, you are responding to racial injustice and the Black Lives Matter movement and the awakening that has resulted from the murder of George Floyd and those before him - and those after as well. You may be engaging deeply or supporting materially or recommitting yourself to anti-racism work and education for the long-haul. You may have questions, be grappling with how best to take action and show up, or be wondering what true allyship looks like and...
Anti-Racism + Radical Mindfulness: Rewiring Internal Bias
June 04, 2020 08:00 - 19 minutes - 14 MBAs nationwide protests continue to erupt throughout cities small and large in the wake of the recent murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and many more, hard and important conversations have taken hold. Conversations about systemic racism and white terrorism. About police brutality and militarized violence. About collective rage pushed to the brink from centuries of oppression in a country that was founded on genocide and slavery, on stolen Indigenous land and on the backs...
How to Change the Past
May 28, 2020 08:00 - 25 minutes - 17.9 MBPast experiences shape who we are. We, humans, spend an incredible amount of time reliving our pasts and forming narratives that, consciously or unconsciously, can begin to dictate how we think of ourselves and how we show up in the world. But the truth is, you likely have some stories about your past that aren't serving you – that are, instead, keeping you from owning who you are NOW and rocking the hell out of this one precious life. Today, we’re going to talk about your past and how to ...
How to not care what other people think about you
May 21, 2020 08:00 - 20 minutes - 14.4 MBWhy are we so willing to work hard for someone else’s dream but not our own? Why are we so willing to disappoint ourselves instead of someone else? The truth is—unless you’re some kind of crazy-evolved superhuman—you probably spend a good deal of time and mental energy obsessing about what other people think of you. You may not even realize you do this. Or, you may be hyper-aware of it and wish you could just STOP CARING, but don’t know where or how to start. Either way, you’re not alone. ...
Why We Tolerate and How to Stop
May 06, 2020 18:59 - 27 minutes - 19.1 MBWe have this one, precious human life...at least in this body, on this miraculous planet, with these unique whacky people in our community around us. Yet too many of us spend this amazing opportunity tolerating things that no longer serve us. We tolerate our limiting mindsets, behaviors, and situations that no longer serve our highest good. We tolerate our negative self-talk, the soul-sucking job, the “good enough” relationship, the toxic friends, the lover that’s just not that into us. ...
