A Brave Journey: Reclaiming Your Identity After 40

You played the game, followed the rules, and put everyone else in front of yourself… and then numbed out on autopilot just to get through it all - am I right? And you STILL got kicked in the teeth, left empty-handed, without the promised prize in the box. Right again? Well, screw that! Those rules? That game? Those expectations of others? They are completely made up by someone who didn"t ask YOUR opinion - and they just don’t actually apply (or work!) to get you what you really want and

2024/01/11

The simplest thing you can do to manifest what you want in your life is to make space for it. Seriously. No amount of hard work or luck or ingenuity will bring you what you desire if you do not have the capacity to receive it. Mindfully opening space or taking steps that prime you for what you want, or even acting and living "as if" the thing you desire is already here will have a magical effect on the reality you live.

By the time we reach midlife, we’ve been given so much input about what we should be doing, thinking, and feeling. We’ve gone through life on autopilot, creating an “acceptable” identity in an effort to belong and pushing away anything that challenges the belief system we’ve built. One day, something happens that leads us to ask, “Who am I?” “What am I missing?” “Is this all there really is?” What would happen if you allowed yourself to explore those niggling feelings and inner voice that’s

The time is finally here! My inaugural episode of A Brave Journey drops on Tues (1/9/23)! It seemed appropriate that I record this little thought about it from the top of the Mombacho Volcano - sort of a mini brave journey within a journey so to speak. LOL! The hike really challenged me, but I am so glad I did it. It really showed me that I can do anything I set my mind to. Had I known how difficult the climb was, I probably would not have attempted it - and would have missed out on some

Sometimes you just have an off day - and often we make it worse because we judge ourselves for it, as if there is some cosmic report card for "good behavior." It can be easy to think that if we are on a purposeful journey to grow, be authentic and lead our best lives that any day or period of time where we feel blue, or lethargic, or "unproductive" is a failure or backslide. Frankly, I think if we are in the guilt, shame or blame cycle during those times, those "slip ups" can make us feel anxious,

You can hear the advice all the time that you need to "put yourself out there," "be vulnerable," "be a friend to gain a friend," or anything along those lines. But it is only when you actually do it that you get that vital validation that its really true. It really works. However small the action, when we open ourselves up to trying something new or being vulnerable enough to meet new people - even though taking that risk that feels so scary to look silly or weird or wrong - what we will typically

I don't know who needs to hear this - but I bet there are more of us who do than who don't. Having all your stuff together and being empowered and happy and healthy and killin' it 24/7 is NOT a thing. You are a human being with lots going on - lots to balance. And you exist in a universe that has other things to do than to make you feel comfortable and "practically-perfect-in-every-way." And that is OK!! We would never appreciate the blessings in our lives if we had nothing to measure them

What is the story people will make up about you if all they had to go on was observing you walk down the street, or sit on a bus, or enter your office? As much as we are all trying to not care as much about what people think of us (as we should all strive to do!), the fact is that as humans we will automatically fill in the blanks when we see or experience something or someone where we don't get the full picture. We are just wired this way. I would encourage you to check in with "what you look

I talk a lot about being on auto pilot in our lives. And I do believe it's true for most of us. With everything we are bombarded with on a daily basis, its kind of a survival instinct! But here is one you may not have thought of . . .did it occur to you that things we "need" to have in our lives are more a product of our conditioning rather than actual need? I hate to break it to you - but its true. Society, advertising companies, our families and friends - they all have ideas and opinions about

It's easy to fall into "us or them," "same or different," "right or wrong," "strange or familiar." We typically do this when we view the world from inside our own comfort zone or fishbowl so to speak. The things we take for granted as the way it is, or the things that we do that are second nature to us feel like the whole world. That is . . . .until you actually go out into the world and find that everybody else is doing the same thing! So who is correct? Who is right? The great news is - we are

When we step out of our comfort zone or normal state of being for any reason - or in any way - our first reaction is often to close down. We want to protect ourselves, our reality, our equilibrium - to remain a detached observer (at best) so we don't threaten or sully our sense of the world around us. What if instead of needing to protect ourselves from a different way of doing things or a different way of thinking, we saw it as an opportunity? What if we saw it as an open-door invitation from the

I always say - the breakDOWN before the breakTHROUGH and chaos before calm. And one ALWAYS follow the other when you are on a journey to grow, learn, get reacquainted with your authentic self. When you are in the middle of it, it feels like its the only reality that will exist. But trust me, you always come out the other side! In this bonus clip, I share my own struggle with this concept as I began my 4 month trip to 4 Central American countries. This is a topic we will dive in with more detail

We tend to opt out of the magnificent and settle for the mediocre because we've convinced ourselves that since we don't have dramatic challenges, we should just be satisfied with what we have. We've justified staying on autopilot because we "aren't suffering enough," but why? Our middle-of-the-road lives are just as worthy of finding full self-expression. Welcome to A Brave Journey.
