At this moment in my life- I feel those alarm bells going off that I've hit my limit, and yet the approach feel much different - and truly when I look back and compare I see that it's not like other times. I am learning- and I'm finding healthy ways to rebuild myself, treat myself with compassion, and honestly- not just survive, but to survive while also tending to myself.


As you'll see from today's episode- I absolutely have nothing totally figured out, but the themes of surrender and simplicity are two that have been helpful recently that I'm happy to share a bit from within about in hopes these topics resonate with and inspire you too!

For me, I'm practicing finding calm and surrender even when I'm in resistance. This doesn't look like sitting down in sukasana and meditating my way into peace. It's more like- noticing what's happening in my body, talking calmly about what is triggering me, naming it, and hardest of all- not running away from how uncomfortable it feels. All while that is happening practicing zooming out and realizing how is this in or out of alignment with with how I'd like my life to be?

This is deep work- it's hard work- and it's work worth doing. Today on the podcast I'm sharing more about that this and all of the "new growth" I'm figuring out in my life as I move into a new era.

Especially when it comes to our own personal growth and transformation- the kind of change we have to be willing to do is so challenging, it takes us being willing to say we're not always right, to learn to behave differently, to surrender to other perspectives or ways of being. It's absolutely not easy work.

But the reward of that hard work is incredible. For me- that's always been one of the reasons I'm so committed to personal growth work is because I find it so satisfying to know that who I am now is not the same person I was 10 years, 5 years, even 1 year ago.

While honesty is a word that has recently popped up as a theme in my life, truly the subject of being honest and living truthfully is something I've spent years of my life exploring.

With some recent "honesty" I wasn't expected- it got me thinking about what does it mean to be honest, to live standing in your truth. So that is what we're diving into today.

Our actions aligning with our words is a strong indication of being truthful- and is usually one of the first ways we can identify when we're not being honest or when someone is not being honest with us.

While honesty is a word that has recently popped up as a theme in my life, truly the subject of being honest and living truthfully is something I've spent years of my life exploring.

With some recent "honesty" I wasn't expected- it got me thinking about what does it mean to be honest, to live standing in your truth. So that is what we're diving into today.

Our actions aligning with our words is a strong indication of being truthful- and is usually one of the first ways we can identify when we're not being honest or when someone is not being honest with us. Honesty also shows up in how clear we are with our boundaries, and how stable they are. Honesty even extends into the peacefulness we live our life with. When we're in our truth- there is a sense of peace.

That said, this is the perfect opportunity for me to genuinely focus on how I want to do life differently including how I do fear and being out of control differently.


I don't want to be the kind of person who spirals when things go wrong. I want to be someone who can focus on what's going right- and for me, this process is about focusing on the small wins of each and every day.


Trust me, this is not toxic positivity. We can absolutely say when things feel crappy- but we can also choose to not stay in that place but rather find the gratitude for the moments that are easier and feel good.


I hope this week you'll join me in finding small wins- and that it helps you tremendously!

What would happen if you made a commitment to choose your words carefully? To stop apologizing when you haven't done anything wrong. To stop propagating fear around finances, budgets, or the cost of resources. To stop criticizing yourself and instead.... choose words that are more positive or at least neutral!

Wow! It always feels so slow to get here, and then poof we're in a new year- and for me, that calendar year change itself does bring in a bit of excitement about the possibilities of what will lie ahead in the new year!

As I think of what I'd like to focus on and manifest in 2023, I can't help but look back to some of the biggest lessons and breakthroughs I had in 2022. From learning how to focus on my why instead of arbitrary goals, to starting to pay keen attention to what feels good or bad and find the bravery to make changes, there were so many big shifts I found that were for the better. Today I am sharing those with you on the podcast, in the hopes that maybe you learned some of these things too or that these little tokens of wisdom will benefit you in the year ahead!

But there's another side that happens where those labels begin to limit our growth. They disconnect us from those who have different opinions, perspectives, and differing labels from. Our labels can tremendously reduce our ability to grow and evolve as a person, and sometimes keep us from aligning with our highest self or our life purpose.

Remember: looking back is not to wish we were who we used to be. We've got to be proud of who we've become, and all the work that's gone in to being who we are and where we are today. That said, it is natural for us to have some things we used to be really good at or committed to naturally fall back as we've concentrated on new areas of our life. Those are the areas we can look to not to re-create, but to be inspired by what was motivating us, how we were coping, or how we were supporting ourselves then vs what we're doing now.

Are we all impartial to the loving the season of our birthday? I assume everyone is because I love this time of year so much and I just so happy to be having my solar return this week.
As has been somewhat of a tradition here at A Bit From Within, this week I invited Dave on to do this episode with me and to be my personal interviewer. As usual we talk about a wide array of personal growth topics along with our perspective now from everything we've gone through the last year.

Sometimes that ease comes from leaning on our loved ones- and other times, those are the last people who's two cents we need as we do our best to get through.
I think this is an important message because sometimes we forget that our experience and next steps are not dependent on the acceptance or validation from others. In fact, it's in our learning to rely on ourselves, and to care what WE think about our own lives/experience that comes to matter the most.

This week I'm talking about my own path with recovering from burnout, including the real and genuine perspective I have on recovering from burnout. So often we fall into the trap our society creates that equates quick results being good, and things that take time being bad.

But real burnout is not something you can find a one size fits all, next day solution for. Real burnout requires your patience, self compassion, time, and self awareness. You don't have to expect perfection out of yourself on your road to recovery either- even simple intentional changes here and there may lead to significant improvement in your energy and vibrance.

I think it's important to have an honest moment of sharing that sometimes life is tough, and hard -even when you're living a life of intention and mindfulness. Many of us are conditioned to show up in a world where spiritual bypassing is a constant, and where it's all good vibes only- but that dismisses a key part to our reality: the dark part. This is dangerous because it perpetuates the idea that if you're having a tough time that you've done something wrong. Just because you sometimes struggle with anxiety, doesn't mean you brought it on yourself.

It's often in the darkest times that things are changing us, and cultivating the soil we're rooted in for beautiful new change for us to eventually bloom from. But it's ALL a part of the process.

She is a shining example of what resilience looks like, and of someone who is finds the courage to embrace who they really are despite the fears of not being good enough.

She's an inspiration for anyone, but especially has found her place as an advocate inspiring others from other aspiring medical students, especially from diverse backgrounds that haven't had an example of how to find their way through the process, and among communities that are under represented and in low income areas.

One thing that I think most of you know about me is that I want self care tools like yoga, meditation, and working with the lunar cycle to be relatable, accessible, and easy to understand.

Each of these tools have become parts of my self care, self love, and self kindness practices that have opened up my world in a way where I have grown so much- in my patience, empathy, non-attachment, and self judgment.

Working with the lunar cycles is truly such a great and easy way to tune in to yourself throughout the month. And I didn't share this in the episode but I'll remind you- you don't need hours each month to do these things. Sometimes it's 5-10 minutes during a busy week, and maybe a thoughtful 30-40 when you have more space.

My challenge for you is tomorrow starts a New Moon in Pisces- TRY, just this month, keeping a little journal of how your energy ebbs and flows throughout the month, what intentions you'd like to claim, and what you learn about them throughout the month ahead. 29 days is all it is! Try it and see what happens in your life.

Working with the lunar cycles is truly such a great and easy way to tune in to yourself throughout the month. And I didn't share this in the episode but I'll remind you- you don't need hours each month to do these things. Sometimes it's 5-10 minutes during a busy week, and maybe a thoughtful 30-40 when you have more space.

My challenge for you is tomorrow starts a New Moon in Pisces- TRY, just this month, keeping a little journal of how your energy ebbs and flows throughout the month, what intentions you'd like to claim, and what you learn about them throughout the month ahead. 29 days is all it is! Try it and see what happens in your life.

The first 28 years of my life I was in and out of unrequited, unavailable, and unattainable love. I picked great people to love, but not people who could/would love me back how I deeply wanted to be.

Looking at all those years from the bird's eye view, I see now that I was learning through all of that desperation to be loved by others, that what I really wanted was for me to be loved by myself! I thought if someone else approved of and adored me, that then I'd feel that on the inside. Wouldn't it be nice if that's how it worked?

As we move through life it can be really hard to continue to find purpose; you go through a change in your job, your kids grow up, or something unexpected happens steering you in a direction, and you find yourself kind of going through the motion without being connected to a sense of passion. Understanding your why is really what will bring so much clarity to us during bouts of confusion and aimlessness.

Now I'm not saying it's as easy as listening to a podcast and being given all the answers- but what I do know is that it is WORTH asking yourself what you want to achieve and understanding the why. The why is like a vetting process, a fire beneath us, and a coach for us throughout the journey- all in one.

I feel it's so important for all of us to remember that, while the new year is a wonderful time to reflect and set intentions for the future, we must do so from a place of love for ourselves. We feed our curiosities. We set attainable goals that make us feel good about ourselves even on our bad days. And we don't let the turning of a new year change how we feel about working on ourselves or our well-being, because we know we are constantly striving towards bettering ourselves, the best we can, with tons of grace and love.

Today on the podcast I'm talking about what it's like to live and cope when things are uncertain. As I was sharing about this, I started thinking how it's so often our past painful experiences and fears that keep us so agitated and anxious when we don't know what's next.

And while I share some thoughts on ways to build up yourself during these times, I also want to be that cheerleader that reminds us all that taking time to live mindfully and plug ourselves into the present moment ALWAYS helps us.

Sometimes we just can't know what tomorrow holds, but that doesn't have to be a bad thing.

It's tricky sometimes to share the truth of what happens behind the scenes, but I really believe in being authentic and genuinely sharing a bit from within in the hopes it resonates out there with others- and when you confirm that it does, wow that means a lot.
This week I follow up a bit on the journey through the anxiety we've been dealing with in our household- but this week is also a reflection on those times in our lives where we can't believe everything we feel or think inside. That feels so counterintuitive as we're so often taught "trust yourself." Which, hey, there's 100% validity and truth to that too- but there are times in our lives where for whatever reason we get obsessive about things that perhaps don't hold real truth or rationality- and we have to be able to talk about those things too.
Bottom line- we're all doing the best that we can. Slowing down, finding ourselves, being compassionate with ourselves and others- these things all really matter during this time we're living in.

Well, if I'm being honest, it probably discloses more of what was happening for me behind the scenes and definitely leaves out the real highlights- but that's because this trip gave me a ton of unexpected anxiety, and it ended up being a huge lesson in self talk to get through that, as well as aiming to find more confidence and trust in my body to carry me through the discomfort of anxiety.

I feel like this is something we can all relate to right now! There's so much fear and unknown in our world's, and we can relate to the fact that it causes us all to have that discomfort that manifests in different ways. Sometimes we get irritable, or irrational, something we have sudden panic attacks that make us question if we're safe in our bodies, sometimes we can't calm down and need to find a release. We are people having human experiences- and probably people that could use to continue to reduce the stress in our lives.

Sometimes it can be so exhausting to be part of the spiritual community, and hear so much "selling" of the process of manifestation. It feels like every new moon, or eclipse, or any special alignment in the sky, becomes an opportunity for every teacher out there to sell this idea that "THIS is the one where all your dreams can come true."
Now I know that even I am a teacher of intention setting and manifestation rituals, and I love using nature's lunar cycle as a reminder to take time to come back to the beginning where new dreams can be founded. But I also wanted to explore the other side of the coin here, and remind everyone who feels exhausted, or drained, or stuck, or overwhelmed that just because you're not in a place to "Manifest" in a cliche way doesn't mean that you're missing anything, nor that you've missed your chance. In fact, sometimes resting and moving towards clarity is the most important thing we can do for ourselves!
Every single one of us knows that there's no magic button; no wand to wave or mantra to chant that will instantly make everything we desire come true. The real work is a combination of getting clear about what we want and moving ourselves towards it, and also around adjusting our expectations so we can be in the right place in our psyche and hearts.
I hope this episode is a good reminder that there's no one way to be a manifestor, or really to be in control of your life. Life is a constant ebb and flow, and we go through different phases- just like our moon. So whatever phase you're in- just relax and enjoy as much as you can, be present with yourself, and keep doing all that you're doing right.

But have you ever had those times in your life where you KNEW you needed to let go, but you just couldn't? Whether it was because it couldn't be resolved, no closure to be found, or nothing you could do to change things- you just felt stuck in a spiral or obsessive cycle of thinking and self deprecation.
This is what I went through this weekend, and it took me the entire 48 hours to start to come out the other side. So today on the podcast I talk through this struggle, and also the way it sucks to move through it even when you know better, even when you have tools like mindfulness, meditation, etc.- that sometimes we're human and we don't know how to get to the places that will help us (fast enough).

There's nothing inherently wrong with struggling. In fact, it's a huge part of the human experience. Struggle makes us better- struggling makes us more compassionate and understanding. Struggling makes us grateful.

I hope that whatever this episode can offer you in terms of resonance, that it's meaningful.

Whether it was because it couldn't be resolved, no closure to be found, or nothing you could do to change things- you just felt stuck in a spiral or obsessive cycle of thinking and self deprecation.
This is what I went through this weekend, and it took me the entire 48 hours to start to come out the other side. So today on the podcast I talk through this struggle, and also the way it sucks to move through it even when you know better, even when you have tools like mindfulness, meditation, etc.- that sometimes we're human and we don't know how to get to the places that will help us (fast enough).

There's nothing inherently wrong with struggling. In fact, it's a huge part of the human experience. Struggle makes us better- struggling makes us more compassionate and understanding. Struggling makes us grateful.

I hope that whatever this episode can offer you in terms of resonance, that it's meaningful.

Afterwards when I looked up the word compassion- it's latin roots mean "to suffer with", and I loved that idea that when we show up for ourselves with compassion we aren't trying to fix ourselves- we're meeting ourselves where we are and holding space for us to be where we are in that moment. It's so important to explore that on a more regular basis. Right?
However we can, little by little, acts of self compassion will transform our lives.

There are so many times in life where you'll have to choose what kind of moral or ethical code you're going to live by- and you will have your own reasons for choosing what you'll do. For me it comes back to those personal values, and remembering that doing the right thing (and "right" is subjective) is about making decisions that make me feel good about myself when I go to bed at night.

It's not always easy but we have to stop living our lives for other people, or to please other people, and part of that means letting go of doing the "right" things for their approval or validation too.

In this week's episode of the podcast I shared a bit from within about the fears I have of moving closer to a place of life long commitment in my life, and preparing to receive this thing that i've personally wanted my whole life which is marriage and family. It's something that I thought I would have fell into a long time ago, and now that I have 15 years of being an adult without that, I have a lot more fear around what life would look like with having that.

It was a bit of an unexpected arrival to discuss today, but that's the best part about sharing a bit from within- it's sometimes those unexpected talking points that come from the bottom of your heart that have the ability to connect with the most people- and you may not feel it in exactly the same shape I discuss, but feel those heartstrings in a different area of your life.

For many this has been introduced as 'imposter syndrome' where you feel like you're a fraud and undeserving of your accomplishments. But after being inspired by this article: "Stop Telling Women They Have Imposter Syndrome", I didn't want to use that label.
I believe it's normal for any of us to have natural doubts and hesitancy from time to time, especially when we're doing something new or just something we really care about. It is important for us to acknowledge this part of our humanity.
It's also important for us to remember that faking confidence can be appropriate at times, because it's actually just what practicing is. Sometimes you have to try a role on, or wear certain masks for a short time in order to help you transition to where you want or need to go next.

All of this full moon energy has been leaving me in a cranky mood and feeling stuck in old patterns of feeling sorry for myself, and also feeling a lot of pressure. Last night as I was thinking about it all I realized that the overwhelming feeling was "I'm tried of being the bad guy!"

As I realized during today's episode is that all the stress on your own shoulders isn’t actually helping anyone, and it is also not helping us execute a game plan. It's actually just it’s allowing fear to keep you from trusting anyone or anything else.

And as you'll hear me talk about here, I think what we need most when we start feeling like the bad guy is support! And that does not mean other people in our lives start “stepping up” (although that can surely be part of the solution too). But the kind of support we really need is the kind of that comes from within- it’s our ability to support ourselves.

I hope if you can relate to this that this can offer some light bulb moments for you too, and if you know someone who often feels this way maybe it's something you can share with them as well.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/45010984Tue, 25 May 2021 15:00:05 +0000Felicia MartiOn today's episode I'll share a bit in our astro segment about this upcoming lunar eclipse in sagittarius, as well as preview the mercury retrograde in gemini.

Since then she's been very public with her journey on social media, sharing the good, the bad, and the hard about what her life looks like these days. Brain injuries are often invisible injuries- where you "look like you're fine" but there's more that's going on behind the scenes.

We'll also touch on the subject of patience and grace, and just how challenging those words can be the more you come face to face with them.

It got me thinking about how important it is that we have a solid foundation beneath us when it comes to dealing with these toxic people.
“Just don’t let it bother you” “Who cares what someone like thinks?” “Don’t give your energy to it” All of these things sound great but are so much harder to put into practice. Sticks and stones may break our bones, but words can really hurt us (too).

On today’s podcast episode I talk about our roadtrip through Utah last week, and getting snowed in during the big Denver storm this weekend. For me this brought up a bit of confrontation of my control issues and how I deal with set expectations.
Later I get into the big topic for today's episode which is expanded thoughts on a blog I published a few weeks ago on tools that really helped me with panic attacks. I wanted to discuss this because I've had so many friends recently bringing up that they've been having a lot of anxiety and panic themselves, and I thought it would be a great reminder for anyone out there dealing with this that you're not alone- and that while there's no quick magical solution there are things out there that might work for you that you hadn't known were possible to help you find your way back to you.

On today's episode I dive into this topic and share a bit from within about managing our insecurities, and how each time we get triggered through comparison that it's an opportunity to look at that open wound inside ourselves where more self love is needed.

It's an on going practice, but one that is well worth it. Each of us are so incredibly valuable, brilliant, and beautiful EXACTLY as who we are right now. We don't need to be like anyone else, have what they have, show what they show, or do what they do. Our only job is to be ourselves. That's why it's so important that we stop comparing ourselves to others.

Faith is trust without evidence; belief without proof. Trust depends on outcome and result. Faith can be a gateway to trust, and trust can deepen faith in something.

Our dreams may feel so tangible when we address them with our hearts, but when it comes to our minds and even our physiological body that’s where the dance can begin. All of our life experiences where we hoped and were disappointed come in. All of the pains of others when we’ve heard their stories of pain, failure, and sadness- we’ve taken on to protect ourselves. All of the experience the generations before us have encountered- imprinted through our DNA into our beliefs of what is possible in our lives. We have been training for years to live within our limited beliefs- or, we become the generation trying to break through them.

So what happens when we choose to believe in ourselves despite the fear? I don't have the answer to that- but I have many thoughts around the subject as I navigate this inside of myself.

Second, I share a deeply personal story that happened in my life 5 years ago over New Years Eve- right near of beginning of Saturn return (in Sagittarius), and my work then on learning the difference between being in survival mode and actually thriving.

We all are where we're supposed to be in our journey. It's so easy to get swept up in the momentum that we have to do more, be more, and try harder- especially to get where we want to go - but that's not always the way. Often times it's in the allowing that big changes happen.
The 2nd part of all of this is giving credit to the progress that we HAVE made. I looked up the goals and aspirations I was setting one year ago for this year, and I share a lot of what did happen and what didn't, and my thoughts on why.

Since Sagittarius is sign that inspires travel, I thought today would be a great day to share some of what I learned from my travels alone. To me heading out by yourself, or even having portions of trips abroad carved out just for you, can be a true reset button for your spirit. When you open yourself up to new experiences, and step outside of your day to day routine and impressions, things can really shift inside of you.

If you've had similar experiences or if any of this resonates with a bit from within you, be sure to let me know!

For me personally, I've been struggling with a lot of the things I feel obligated to be better at, to be more focused on, or to make a bigger priority in my life. Things like going to bed earlier, eating better, moving my body more- somehow I just can't seem to juggle all of these the "right" way.

How can we be more gentle with ourselves, and really force ourselves to consciously think and recall on how far we've come, the progress we're making towards our goals, and to bring a bigger context of where we're currently at in our lives into play.
