There are times in life when we need to pause, because the cycles of life require us to do so. In those pauses, what will you listen for? Who will you become? What lessons will you learn & share? This is Part 2 of 2: What your mama didn't tell you! (If you haven't listened to episode 021 already, go back to that one so you can get part 1!)

At various stages in our lives we find ourselves changing in ways that seem unexplainable! From about 45 years old until 50, I was taken captive by an invasion of body snatchers. It was strange, I couldn’t figure out where I was, where did I go? Would I ever return?

All I could see was darkness all around me. In fact my eyes were adjusting to the darkness, so much so, I forgot it was dark. But, this sliver of light was just noticeable enough to spark curiosity.  Where was it coming from? I looked all around. I couldn’t locate the source. And then… I realized that the sliver of light was coming from within me.

We all need a special place in our lives. A place where we can take off all the pretense, and just be ourselves on good days and not so good days. In this episode, you’ll be encouraged to clarify what it means for you to feel safe to be who you are, where you are. A Special Place, shares practical insight and practices to increase safety from the inside out.

You are invited to look around and inside of you to notice where you might be withholding.  Withholding is knowingly holding back in areas of your life that you are being challenged to move forward. You will recognize the excuses that surface when you want to defend withholding, and then you are further stretched to move past the chatter in your head and become more clear about your hesitations.

This first episode of 2019, kicks off celebrating who we are as women, and making room for ourselves and our dreams. LET US BEGIN OCCUPYING OUR SPACE AS QUEENS is the first in a series specifically designed to remind ourselves and each other of our royal status as queens.

Oftentimes when we hear about Imposter Syndrome, we hear of those, that despite their evidence of success there is a feeling of being phony and fraudulent. In this podcast we will look at how our hesitancy and playing small, is actually another side of Imposter Syndrome. 7 symptoms that might indicate you are a giant in a grasshopper suit are shared for you to come to your own conclusion.

After spending so many years refining my “no”, and even getting to the place of not feeling guilty about saying no, I was interrupted by this three letter word; yes.   You will be asked to look at some of the places your definitive no, may need to consider an exuberant yes. We’ll look at the defensive posture of no, and how it can block us from who we desire to be. We will look at the stagnancy that is, at times the response to our “no”.  

We hear a lot about boundaries today. “Girl, I’m setting my boundaries.” Boundaries, boundaries.”   When handled this way, there more like death threats, rather than exercising self compassion, and keeping yourself safe. In this episode, we will talk about boundaries 2.0 = spiritual boundaries.

Too often difficult conversations never end, because we avoid, strategize and are often trying to protect our stance. In some ways, it feels like the same conversation over and over. Even when that pattern is recognized, it’s difficult to interrupt the pattern and even more difficult to see what part we play in this frustrating communication.
