#67 – 6 Wild Life Lessons from my First Month of Online Dating

January 31, 2024 20:00 - 38 minutes - 26.3 MB

Any time you declare a big goal — dating, climbing a mountain, having a baby, starting a business, finding a job — here's my advice for you: Prepare to be expanded! As in: stretched, squashed, kneaded, rising, falling, and every other uncomfortable transformation you can imagine. Wouldn't it be nice if the universe made it easy by rolling out a red carpet for your dreams? Instead, it often says ... let's make sure you're super serious about that. 😂  That's been the case in my one month...

#65 – Should You Move Overseas? My Thoughts and Advice.

January 17, 2024 17:00 - 1 hour - 45.4 MB

This episode is a bit of a departure from our normal subject matter. But I am getting SO many questions about moving overseas lately! (I think it's the election.) For those of you who are new to my world, I studied, volunteered, and worked abroad for seven years. (Mostly in Asia.) So I am a good bestie to have if you are considering moving abroad! And since not all of you have me in your contacts, I decided to do a podcast and share all my hard-won wisdom on ... Where should you move? How...

#64 – Questions to Ask When Someone Triggers You

January 11, 2024 18:00 - 20 minutes - 14.3 MB

Do you ever get triggered by other people?  Duh, it's like asking, do you breathe air?  😂  Often we want to push away or put down people who trigger us. When actually they can be our greatest teachers. They are mirrors who can show us what we're not fully loving and integrating about ourselves. They can shine light on the parts of us that still need healing. In today's episode, I walk you through some quick questions to ask any time someone triggers you. So what started out as an anno...

#63 – I'm So Burned Out. Here's How I'm Moving Through It.

January 03, 2024 18:00 - 48 minutes - 33 MB

This feels wicked vulnerable to share, but here it is ... I've been going through a pretty dark burnout in December. One that had me close to quitting my business altogether. One where it is really hard to create, express, or connect to my natural joy. I hesitated to share this, because it seems like as a coach who specializes in nervous system healing, I should have it more together. But the truth is, this burnout is teaching me so much. ​​About myself. ​​About my beliefs around achi...

#62 – How to Change That Memory That's Haunting You

December 07, 2023 03:00 - 56 minutes - 38.8 MB

Hey friends! Enjoy some highlights from my free 5-Day Self-Healing Challenge (aka Soul Surf Camp). In this lesson, I talk about how to change your memories. Which if you're haunted by a moment in your past is a useful thing to be able to do! I should clarify: we're not actually changing the memory itself. We're just changing the emotion around it. So that a moment that made you feel sad can now make you feel grateful. Or so you can feel compassion for yourself in a moment that used to ...

#61 – How to Get More Breakthroughs

November 29, 2023 18:00 - 30 minutes - 20.7 MB

You might be drawn toward "magical" practices like breathwork, plant medicine, hypnosis, and energy healing believing they will get you there faster. (And to a large degree, you're right!) But sometimes trying too hard to have a breakthrough ... Can actually repel the magic and push it away. And often when you release the need for a breakthrough, that's exactly when big magic comes to you and hits you like a lightning bolt. In today's episode, I'll share what I've learned about breakth...

#60 – How to NOT Kill Your Family This Thanksgiving

November 22, 2023 18:00 - 26 minutes - 18.6 MB

"You've gained a few pounds since last year!" "You're not married yet?" "Why can't you be quiet and sweet like your sister?" "Are you really going to have another drink?" "Of course we invited your ex. He's still family. We don't have to ask you." "Have you heard about our lord and savior Jesus Christ?" Welcome to the judgy-est time of the year! If your family is like most families, Thanksgiving get-togethers are kind of a mixed blessing. 😂  And for some of us, the holidays can be downrig...

#59 – Money Healing

November 19, 2023 19:00 - 42 minutes - 29.1 MB

"The universe hates me." This was my conclusion when unexpected expenses kept smacking me in the face all through October. There was the appliance repair company ripping me off. The Assisted Living facility making a billing error — and then correcting it by pulling $13,000 out of my account with no warning.  The Home Health company deciding out of nowhere that I owed them $1800, and I'd better pay up or they were sending me to collections. It felt like fighting a seven-nation army — and...

#58 – How to Quit Your Job

November 09, 2023 19:00 - 40 minutes - 27.8 MB

Are you feeling unappreciated at work? Longing for the freedom to set your own schedule? Or are you a coach who feels pressure to go full time so you can be a "serious" entrepreneur? If you answered any of the above, this episode is for you! Today, I'm going to walk through exactly how and when to quit your job. Spoiler alert: if you're desperate to get out, finding a new job may not solve the problem. You may benefit from doing some thought work and self coaching first. In this episod...

#57 – The Crumbling: What to Do When Your Whole Life Is Falling Apart

November 01, 2023 20:00 - 40 minutes - 27.8 MB

If everything in your life is going wrong or sideways at once, you might be experiencing ... THE CRUMBLING. It can hurt like hell. It might feel like a personal attack from the universe — or even a spiritual death. But I want you to know that THE CRUMBLING really is here for your growth and expansion. When you're preparing to move to a new level, everything unaligned must go. And that includes job, relationships, thoughts, beliefs, and outdated programming. All that stuff needs burn down...

#56 – The People Pleasing Episode (This One's for the Medicine)

October 18, 2023 08:00 - 45 minutes - 31.6 MB

My mom will tell you I was an easy, sunny, sweet baby. What she really means: I never expressed any needs that were inconvenient, embarrassing, or made demands on others. And if I'm honest, it took me into my 40s to really start taking my own needs seriously. (Better late than never!) Being direct, setting boundaries, and telling people what I need are still wicked uncomfortable sometimes. But you know what else is uncomfortable? Constant people pleasing. Making it easy for everyone else...

#55 – Stress Management Tips to Prevent Breakdowns, Burnouts, and Collapses

October 11, 2023 07:00 - 36 minutes - 25 MB

I totally wish that instead of trigonometry and other worthless stuff, my high school had offered classes like self leadership, emotional regulation, and especially ... stress management. As a coach, I see a lot of stress. And here's the truth: most people feel helpless against it. We experience too much too fast. We have a lot of traumas (big and little T) that keep us disconnected from our bodies. Because of that disconnect, we often don't even recognize stress until it's screwing up o...

#54 – Overcoming Perfectionism With the 20% Mess Up Rule

October 06, 2023 17:00 - 31 minutes - 21.9 MB

Common perfectionist beliefs (raise your hand if you can relate): I can't feel good unless I'm doing good People only value me when I am near perfect A mistake means I didn’t try hard enough If you were like "hells yeah!" to any of the above, this week's episode is for you. I'm going to share a rule a little about my own journey with perfectionism. (Oddly, it starts with spiders. Actually, it probably starts before that. But the spider part really sticks in my mind.) I'll also share a ...

#53 – How to Survive a Social Event Without Drinking

September 29, 2023 18:00 - 28 minutes - 19.3 MB

A few years ago, I took a 90-day break from alcohol that changed my life.  You know what was the hardest part? The social events! I was dating, so that felt super terrifying and vulnerable. I traveled and stayed with family for a few days, which is always kind of stressful. (Not because they aren't lovely, but because my nervous system gets really jangled when I don't have my own space.) I usually meet my friend at the same brewery to catch up, and we kept that tradition all through my b...

#52 – One Year of Long Covid and My Top 7 Lessons From Chronic Illness

September 27, 2023 20:00 - 50 minutes - 34.9 MB

I've barely got words for what a fucking year it's been. Long covid has been a wild ride.  A shamanic initiation.  A cracking open.  A curriculum for my expansion.  A burning down of everything that was out of alignment or in wrong relationship. In this week's episode, I pull back the curtain and get juicy and vulnerable about: The ups and downs of this year. Let's talk treatments. What's helping and what's horse shit. My experiences with the medical community. How my thinking abou...

#51 – The Best Antidote for Shame (Self Restitution Process)

September 22, 2023 00:00 - 42 minutes - 29.2 MB

Do you ever say cringeworthy things out loud? Make the wrong decision? Hurt people and regret it later? If so, this episode is for you! We live in a society where it isn't easy to make mistakes. There's a lot of judgement and blame flying around — not all of it justified. It can make it hard to be a human who's evolving in real time — whether as a parent, professional, or partner. But there's an antidote to the shame culture. In today's episode, I share the self-restitution process. ...

#50 – When Good Things End (Myth of Permanence)

September 14, 2023 16:00 - 37 minutes - 25.7 MB

Everything ends. Jobs. Relationships. Chapters of your life. Even versions of YOU end. And new ones come online. Sometimes change can feel amazing. (Let's burn away the old and make space for the new!) And sometimes change is upsetting and destabilizing. You might wonder if it means you're doing life wrong. Society like to mess with our heads by holding up permanence as the ideal. It's why 10-year job anniversaries and golden marriage anniversaries get celebrated. (Even if those jobs...

#49 – The Healthy Boundary Formula

September 04, 2023 18:00 - 44 minutes - 30.5 MB

Setting healthy boundaries is one of the best ways to practice energetic sovereignty and manage your nervous system. So in this week’s podcast episode, I'm going to talk you through ... 🌟 What actually are boundaries? 🌟 When is it appropriate to set a boundary? 🌟 An exact script you can use to set that boundary. 🌟 Tips on holding a boundary. 🌟 How to make a request when a boundary isn't appropriate, but something is still bothering you. Hope you'll find plenty of super actionable tool...

#48 – Overthinking and Analysis Paralysis

August 29, 2023 18:00 - 43 minutes - 29.9 MB

Have you ever caught yourself thinking: I need to know the right answer The more information I have, the better I must never waste time or money with the wrong decision Other people know better than me Then you might be suffering from analysis paralysis! We humans often use overthinking to keep ourselves safe. And in prehistoric times, it probably worked.  But even though the world is now safer, we can't stop. So we drive ourselves crazy trying to figure out the right workout plan, da...

#47 – Guided Meditation: Asking Your Highest Self for Guidance

August 25, 2023 17:00 - 19 minutes - 13.4 MB

If you're anything like me, you're always searching for the right answer to every question. Like when I wanted to run an ultramarathon, I not only read a book and scoured every website I could find for training advice. I actually got certified as an ultramarathon coach to make sure I was doing it PERFECT. #queenofoverdoingit But you know who a lot of us aren't asking for guidance? The most important person — ourselves. Learning to ask yourself for guidance is a game-changer. Putting you...

#46 – For You If You're Struggling Alone

August 22, 2023 18:00 - 51 minutes - 35.4 MB

We all have this romantic idea that when we most need support, our friends will lean in. And sometimes they do. But very often, they don't. It's pretty common for people experiencing grief and loss to find themselves alone, forgotten, or misunderstood when they need community most. Even intimate partnerships get impacted. It's more common for a marriage to end after a major loss or the death of a child, for example. So how should we take it when our support system seems to be distancing ...

#45 – Repeat After Me: BEING Before Doing

August 14, 2023 18:00 - 55 minutes - 38 MB

Whenever we're chasing a goal or working to solve a problem, our brain likes to go straight to action. We are little planning machines. Which kinda works. But not really. Because too often, when we focus on action, we're actually solving the wrong problem. What works better? Starting on the inside. Looking at who we'd be when we have what we really want. And finding ways to be that person RIGHT NOW. Sound complicated? It doesn't it have to be. In this episode, I'll walk you throug...

#44 – Manifestation Is for Everyone + Guided Lion's Gate Meditation

August 10, 2023 07:00 - 27 minutes - 19.1 MB

A manifestation portal? What the cheese balls is that? And why should you care if you’re not a whacky, woo woo, green-juice slurping, crystal farming hippie? 😂 Bestie, I promise. Manifestation is for everyone. And no, you don’t have to be a toxic positivity monster to benefit and enjoy. To help you understand manifestation and how it works, I made you a video! It includes a little bit of teaching and a cool guided meditation you can use when you’re manifesting new things. Loving thi...

#43 – Why Breakthroughs Are Overrated

August 08, 2023 21:00 - 51 minutes - 35.3 MB

About a year into my personal growth journey, I was convinced I was fucking it up. Why? Because I wasn't having any massive breakthroughs. 🔥  I wasn't making six figures in my business while sitting on a beach with my laptop. 🔥 I wasn't engaged to the love of my life. 🔥 I didn't have a perfect, healthy body with a six pack. (Do 47 year-olds even have six packs? Doubtful. But that's where my mind still goes. 😂 ) I didn't have any of the external stuff. So my mind told me I was failing s...

#42 – Hypnosis WTF

July 30, 2023 02:00 - 56 minutes - 39 MB

Hypnosis. Trance. The unconscious. To some people, these are spooky concepts! But to me, they are some of the most healing words in the English language. And it's time to pull back the curtain. In today's episode, I'm going to spill the beans on all things hypnosis. What it is ... and isn't. How it works, and what modern neuroscience research tells us about its effectiveness. How I structure my client journeys to help create lasting change without struggle. The three levels of work w...

#41 – The Better Sleep Episode

July 24, 2023 20:00 - 52 minutes - 36.1 MB

I know we've all been beaten over the head with the need to sleep more. And I can tell you as a coach and personal trainer that SOME OF IT IS HYPE. However, a good night's sleep has many benefits: Cleanses your brain of neurotoxins Promotes neuroplasticity, change, and emotional shifts Regulates your hormones and metabolism (can even help you lose weight) Promotes deep cellular healing (so essential for you Long Covid peeps!) Improves focus and productivity Gives your mood a boost So...

#40 – Toxic Positivity

July 20, 2023 17:00 - 56 minutes - 38.9 MB

Is it toxic to badmouth positivity? Maybe.  But if you know me, I like to stir the pot a little. Also, as part of the coaching and personal development industry, I feel a duty to call out harmful practices.  That way, potential clients can recognize them, avoid them, and self-innoculate for those moments when they show up out of nowhere.  (Yes, even when it's something I say.) It's time to burn down lies like: If you got cancer, you manifested it with negative thinking Bad things are...

#39 – Do I Really Need to Feel My Damn Emotions? (Marination Station)

July 15, 2023 19:00 - 45 minutes - 31.1 MB

"You need to feel it in order to heal it." But do you really Becky? Or is that just something all the personal development people say? As a somatic practitioner and hypnotist who teaches people how to regulate emotions (often to the point where you can't feel them at all), I get a lot of questions about this. Shouldn't we be feeling our emotions instead of knocking them down? Do we really have to experience negative emotion to heal and be healthy? (Cause ew.) The short answer is no.  Y...

#38 – Why Old Shit Keeps Coming Back Up

July 08, 2023 17:00 - 37 minutes - 26 MB

Have you ever healed something, and it stayed healed for months or years — only to pop back up at the worst possible time? Welcome to my week. 😂 The good news is that "repeats" don't mean you've failed or that you're moving in the wrong direction. Actually, they can be a powerful sign that you're moving in the right direction. And now you're being invited to take this healing deeper. In today's episode, we'll look at "repeats" on three planes: physical, mental, and spiritual. And we'll ...

#37 – Fear Party

July 06, 2023 16:00 - 30 minutes - 21 MB

So I thought I had totally conquered by my driving anxiety. But this week, out of nowhere, it came back. I was just minding my own business, driving down the highway. And hit me like a big wave. At first, I was like, WTAF. I thought I fixed this shit! There was also that feeling of: I teach other people how to work through fear, so this is totally unacceptable and shameful. But then, I had to use ALL MY TOOLS to get out of that fear, and it kind of felt like a bit of a final exam of eve...

#36 – The Low Information Diet for Overwhelm and Time Starvation

June 27, 2023 17:00 - 48 minutes - 33.1 MB

Feeling overwhelmed and exhausted with the pace of modern life? Following a low information diet may help. You're constantly bombarded by information from TV, social media, podcasts, and the web. It's more information than you can possibly integrate. But your brain still tries, which uses up mental energy and makes it hard to focus. Looking away from all that info can be hard. (FOMO is real!) But it can also give your mental health, focus, and productivity a huge boost. In today's podcast...

#35 – Is Your Body Trying to Get Your Attention?

June 21, 2023 00:00 - 25 minutes - 17.3 MB

Today's episode is a little more personal. It's all about the work I've been doing on my relationship with my body.  I'll share some of the ways I've been in wrong relationship with my body in the past, and how developing a chronic illness was a wake-up call to do things differently. I'll also share how self-hypnosis has helped me in this journey and some of the useful visions and downloads that have come through.

#34 – Being Too Much

June 14, 2023 17:00 - 43 minutes - 29.8 MB

Talking Laughing Emotions Expression Loud Laughing Swearing Speaking truth Putting yourself first Being sensual or sexual Being smart/knowing stuff Asking questions ^ Just a few of the ways we can feel like we're being "too much." If you've worried that you're too much (or been told it to your face), this week's podcast episode is for you. We'll talk about where this concept of being "too much" comes from and why it just won't die. And we'll also talk about some of the gifts of stepping ...

#33 – My Ceremonies and Rituals for Deep Healing

June 06, 2023 16:00 - 53 minutes - 36.5 MB

Do you spend your whole life rushing from task to task, never taking time to fully live? I feel you, bestie.  I used to get to the end of each day of grinding only to see the to-do list half completed and feel existential despair. What helped? In a word, ceremony! No, I'm not going to make you lick toads or talk to chakras or channel your star ancestors or even DO A PAST LIFE REGRESSION. (Though you totally could, if any of those turn you on.) Ceremony is simply about bringing signific...

#32 – When Nothing's Working (+ past life regression, whale and orca elders, and other trippy shit)

June 06, 2023 00:00 - 12 minutes - 8.87 MB

WTF is this episode EVEN? 😂 It's so trippy, I had to share it with you. It's basically a replay of an Instagram Live. I wanted to share a message of hope that came to me while I was really deep in a past life regression during hypnosis class. And it involves whale and orca elders. P.S.: If you're still reading and haven't unsubscribed, we are clearly from the same soul family. Resources Mentioned: The Starseed Oracle (my Tarot deck) Center for Integrative Hypnosis (my hypnosis cert...

#31 – Survival Tips for Coming Out of Your Cave

May 30, 2023 16:00 - 46 minutes - 31.9 MB

I've been in my "cave" a lot the past few years. Between COVID, family caregiving, and chronic illness, it's been easy to avoid connection and community. And in some ways it's been good. It's been a very creative period. It's helped me to figure some things out. But. I am also realizing there's healing that can only happen in community. And I also have work to do in the world that requires contact with other humans. So May has been the month of venturing out of the cave and throwing myse...

#30 – This Should Piss Some People Off — Food, Body and Patriarchy

May 24, 2023 15:00 - 50 minutes - 34.5 MB

This episode turned into a bit of a rant (in the best possible way). I'm tired of people believing that they are lazy and lack willpower because they aren't skinny with a six pack at 47. (All while working overtime, raising teenagers, walking the dog, and trying to keep the house from looking like a shit show.) Here's the truth. When it comes to our bodies, we are all profoundly spiritually wounded. We are disconnected from our bodies — and from nature and our essential wildness. It's w...

#29 – PREVIEW: All the Shit I'm Creating Right Now

May 17, 2023 06:00 - 27 minutes - 18.7 MB

In this episode, I share a little about how I've evolved as a coach over the last few months ... and all the new programs this has inspired me to create! Interested?  Be sure to join my email list. Questions? Email me at [email protected].

#28 – Your House Represents the Inside of Your Head

May 09, 2023 18:00 - 43 minutes - 30.1 MB

OK, anyone who’s been in my house and saw that title probably just laughed out loud. I am NOT a house person. Which is probably why I've been finding healing my living space so powerful. There is a spiritual law that states, "As within, so without." And I've realized that my messy, neglected, underappreciated, cluttered house reflects a lot of what I'm carrying around in my head. That it's probably not the best place to create a successful business, call in love and write a book. Because...

#27 – The Neuroscience of Self Healing

May 03, 2023 16:00 - 1 hour - 41.3 MB

Have you ever had a moment of profound healing that seemed mysterious?  Or alternately, have you ever spent years in therapy and wondered why nothing was changing? Neuroscience has the answers to your questions. And they are really cool!  Spoiler alert: your brain is constantly rewiring its neural pathways. And you can use simple tools to direct and speed up the process. In this episode, we look at the four magic steps you'll find under every healing experience. And I'll share some examp...

#26 – Your Struggles Are the Curriculum of Your Greatness

April 26, 2023 15:00 - 29 minutes - 20.1 MB

What do you do when life drops a big load of shit on you all at once? That's exactly what happened to me this week. And I've got something to say about it! (Of course.) One concept I've been leaning into is the idea that struggles are guideposts showing you the lessons you need to learn to be whole, fully human, and fully alive. In this podcast, we'll talk about some of our knee-jerk reactions to enormous struggles (control, despair, etc.), why these don't really work, and a more helpful ...

#25 – I Am Garbage Bitch (Boundaries, People Pleasing, and Energy Sovereignty)

April 17, 2023 15:00 - 44 minutes - 30.9 MB

Today's podcast is a little different! I'm sharing a journey I'm actively walking around learning to say no and set healthy boundaries.  I've had a lifelong struggle with people pleasing that has impacted all areas of my life. Showing up to dinner with a friend when I'm so sick I have to drag my ass through the door because I hate to cancel plans? Check. Pointlessly dating the same guy for weeks because I can't bring myself to tell him there's no spark? Check. Taking on a volunteer role ...

#24 – How to Be Wildly Creative and Prolific

April 13, 2023 16:00 - 27 minutes - 19.1 MB

Writers, artists, podcasters, bloggers, musicians, and content creators — this one's for you! Have you ever sat in front of your computer struggling and grasping for ideas? As a former full-time freelancer, I've been there too. And I know it doesn't work. You might manage to get something out of yourself. But it's not exactly fire from the depths of your soul. Friend, I'm happy to tell you the struggle is over. Today on the podcast, I share eight (ish) brain hacks that will get your c...

#23 – Spiritual Getaway in a Box

April 12, 2023 14:00 - 38 minutes - 26.7 MB

You might need a spiritual getaway if you  ... Here the words "spiritual getaway" and go, FUCK YEAH! Feel anxious, overwhelmed, or in a rut Want to be more creative Have a decision to make The good news: spiritual getaways don't have to involve walking across Inner Mongolia with $100 in your pocket.

#22 – My Blueprint for Overcoming Fears and Phobias

April 10, 2023 15:00 - 36 minutes - 25.4 MB

Fear of falling while rock climbing. Anxiety while mountain driving. Terror when your boyfriend drives. Going on a first date. Drinking your way through an event because you're so self conscious. What do all of these things have in common? Fundamentally, they are all habits. You can think of them as patterns or programs your brain is running. And the good news is, you can use neuroscience to stop the pattern so that you JUST DON'T CARE. Or even feel good in that situation. On today's...

#21 – How to Be More Selfish

April 05, 2023 06:00 - 30 minutes - 21.1 MB

Humans (especially women) get shamed for being selfish and putting our own needs first. The result: trying to care for others by pouring from an empty cup, which translates into burnout, overwhelm, and anxiety. In this week's podcast, I show you how to break the cycle of endless giving and chronic depletion by reframing selfishness as a selfless act. Let's talk about all the important ways that you training for a marathon, saying no, and taking time for yourself actually gives back to th...

#20 – Everyone Else Is Doing Too Much (Overfunctioning)
