1 AUG 2020 · Peace and chaos are interesting partners. While we may dislike being in chaos when it's pushed upon us, it sparks inner growth and transformation in ways we may not have chosen outwardly. At the same time, peace is a place within that can always be reached - however - we have to make time and space for it, and be present to truly experience it. On the latest episode of the Flirting With Enlightenment Podcast, I talk about how chaos (also the creative spark) is simply a part of life, and the ways it can open us up to true change. I also share insights on how cultivating inner peace is key to helping us become more aware of what we really need, when, and how to approach it in a way that truly honors our spirit. When one state of being takes over the other, we can become imbalanced and live in a state of fear and limiting thoughts disconnected from our bodies, or simply avoid dealing with life because we are afraid if will disrupt our peace.

29 JUN 2020 · The way we move through life starts with what we are willing to hear, see and listen to, and why we choose to do so. At the same time, the impact of personal filters can change over time - and should - as we learn, more clearly understand, gain experience and wisdom and, most importantly, connect with others who share their experiences and insight to help us understand new perspectives. On this episode of the Flirting With Enlightenment podcast, I talk about the impact of personal filters on the way we see everything in life; how it can silently determine our actions and emotional state, the way we treat others and how we receive love, joy and good into our lives, too.

16 MAY 2020 · What does the phrase stepping up mean to you? Take action? Work harder? Take responsibility? Do more? Or does it also mean taking a beat? Getting clearer on desires, skills and areas of healing? Finding what truly aligns with your personal needs, wants and ideals, and then operating from that pace and place? In my opinion, it’s all of the above - and more. On this episode of the Flirting With Enlightenment podcast, I talk about the general vibe of stepping up energy, and how it’s often misused and misunderstood. I also discuss the ways you can trick yourself into continuing with a limited mindset and outlook, while simultaneously beating yourself up. Lastly, I talk about stepping up to love yourself more authentically and fully, and seeing emotional release and surrender as a positive tool, not a weakness to be endured or changed. So how do you want to define the energy of stepping up in the context of your own life and actions?

15 APR 2020 · The art of dealing with the unexpected while taking self care is a lifelong, uneven dance. Sometimes it flows effortlessly without the mind or distractions getting in the way of maintaining a regular self care practice. Other times, simply stopping for a moment to pause and quiet the mind is a full out challenge, or impossible. On the latest episode of the Flirting With Enlightenment podcast, I talk about dealing with the unexpected while taking self care. I offer practical tips and insights to provide perspective and encouragement, and share simple ways to shift mindset and focus to tune out the “noise” and get down to what the heart really wants you to know. Lastly, I discuss the importance of noting and tracking your personal triggers and indicators that let you know when self care is critical, and what you need to feel better.

27 MAR 2020 · Listening with love is not something that always comes naturally. It’s a practice - a way of being that evolves as we do, and influences how we actively change our patterns and behaviors as we grow. While much time and energy is often focused on forcing change, beating ourselves up or wishing things were different, listening with love is a simple, powerful tool that does something very unique - it invites us to hear differently. It helps us notice when old patterns are holding us back, when we are being needlessly mean to ourselves, when fear is taking over, and when new energy is inviting us to change. Tips, insights and more, on the podcast.

18 MAR 2020 · Exciting and scary may feel the same in a physical way. The general vibe, sensations and physical reactions can have the same impact on the body, emotions and mind, leaving us a bit confused or mixed up in the process. Is it time to be afraid? Or is it time to celebrate the fact something we’ve been wanting and waiting for is happening - even if it’s in a way we didn’t expect? In essence, this is what occurs in the mind and heart when dealing with a creative block. We can feel overwhelmed, unsure or afraid - muddling our clarity and shutting down our momentum. On the latest Flirting with Enlightenment podcast, I talk about how “exciting” and “scary” may feel the same, and how to dig a little deeper to learn to tell the difference. I also share insights on how we often build up the reasons why our fears should stay instead of stepping forward into change, and digging into where some fears might have originated in the first place.
