As we wrap up the first quarter of 2023, I wanted to give you an update on my own personal growth project. My goal for Q1 was to rest, do less and refill my cup. If you want the backstory about WHY, Listen to Episode 52, Capacity vs Desire. Initially I felt some shame about getting to this exhausted place again. But let's be real, most of us need to revisit the same lessons a few times. Today, I'm sharing what I'm learning about my patterns and some of the tools I use when I find myself in a

Ep 53: No More People Pleasing with Lindsay Porter

2023/03/16

This week I'm talking with Lindsay Porter (she/her), owner of the Fishwife Restaurant in Portland, OR. I felt so inspired and energized after our conversation. I hope you do too. I wanted to have Lindsay on the show for a while. I've witnessed such a change in her over the past year. (You know I love a good transformation story.) I wanted to know how that happened and what it's been like for her. Lindsay shares what happened when she decided to get sober and stop pleasing others. Best of all, she

Ep 49: The Courage to Quit with Kristen Rebelo

You"ve Got Lael ·

2022/12/15

Quitting gets a bad rap. We're told all our lives to hang in there, push through, persevere. That quitting is weak. Quitting is for losers. But sometimes quitting is exactly what we need to do to get clarity. To discover our passion. To reclaim ourselves. To heal. Today's guest, Kristen Rebelo, is in the middle of a big quit. She was vulnerable and courageous enough to share what my friend and life coach Heather Melver calls "the messy middle." I hope our conversation inspires you to consider what

Ep 48: Caring for Aging Parents with Erin Chourey

You"ve Got Lael ·

2022/12/01

I've been thinking a lot about aging and the end of life lately. Probably from working at the hospital. Being aware of my parents' stage of life reminds me of the inevitable reality that I'll lose them someday. My work has given me a front-row view of the aging process. As a coach and hospital social worker, I get to witness the emotions and family dynamics that arise as our loved ones age. Dominant culture tends to treat aging as something to avoid. The process of aging is often met with fear - for

Ep 47: Mutual Aid with AJ McCreary and LaQuisha...

You"ve Got Lael ·

2022/11/10

Today we are talking about mutual aid. Why? Because I'm wondering if engaging in mutual aid might be a means for healing as well as personal and collective transformation. See, one thing I frequently hear from people is that they feel powerless to change "the system." They don't know how we can possibly dismantle racism, capitalism, or the patriarchy. They feel like their personal efforts won't ever be enough. I disagree. I believe our personal efforts - our learning, our growing awareness, our

Ep 46: Taking Up Space with Lauren K. Roberts

2022/10/27

Why is it so hard to put ourselves out there sometimes? What holds us back from going after our dreams? From believing in ourselves? From taking risks to fulfill our purpose or our deeper desires? Fear, yes. But WHY? Where does this fear come from? What do we stand to gain when we learn how to take up space? What do our communities, families and even the world stand to gain? How do we take up space when we're mindful of the privileges we hold and the fact that many people's voices are ignored and

This is the final episode in a 5-part series on the Belong to You Habits. If you missed the previous episodes, I invite you to go back and start with Episode 41. The habits build upon each other and are easier to adopt when you start with Habit 1. Today, we are talking about the last two habits in the program: Body Care and Easeful Living.

This is the 4th episode in a 5-part series on the Belong to You Habits and today we are talking about Eating to Thrive. If you missed the previous episodes in this series, I invite you to go back and start with Episode 41. The habits build on each other, and as such, it can be helpful to see them in relationship with the other habits. Eating to Thrive is simple, but not easy.

In the Belong to You Habits Program, each habit builds on the other to create a simple, but powerful daily self-care routine. We're talking about something you do automatically without a lot of effort. Habits that support not only your physical health but also your mental and emotional well-being.

Today's episode is the second in a 5-part series on self-care habits. Today we are talking about our Morning Routine. In the Belong to You Habits Program, our morning routine includes waking with the sun (once we are well rested this becomes easier), setting our mind "right", drinking water before coffee, and moving our bodies. Each habit builds on the other creating a simple, but powerful daily self-care routine. Habit change can be tricky territory. I see so many people relying on outdated and

For the past 5 years, I've been teaching simple, mind-body habits to help people reconnect with themselves. The habits I teach are common sense and all-natural. They support your physical well-being and mental and spiritual well-being as well. Together they are called the Belong To You Habits. I chose this name because I think that's really what they do - they bring us back in touch with ourselves, with how we feel and what we desire. When we are connected to our feelings, our thoughts, and our

Ep 40: What Creates Change

2022/08/18

I've been thinking a lot about what creates change. Like, what qualities or tools do we need to actually create change in ourselves, our relationships, and our communities. I mean, there are a 1000 different takes on this. Everyone promising they have the keys or magic to make our lives whole. It's so easy for me to get bogged down and confused. Should I be doing this? What about that? One morning, after asking the Universe directly to "please show me what I'm supposed to be doing next," I received

Welcome to Part 2 of my conversation on gender with Tristan Katz. If you missed part 1, go back to the previous episode and start there. Exploring our gender is an important way to know ourselves and show up in a conscious and embodied way for each other. There is a lot of confusion, avoidance, and ignorance when it comes to exploring and understanding gender. At least that was true for me. I really hadn't thought much about my gender until my kids came out as trans. That's common for those who hold

There is a lot of confusion, avoidance, and ignorance when it comes to exploring and understanding gender. At least that was true for me. I really hadn't thought much about my gender until my kids came out as trans. That's common for those who hold identities that align with the norms of our dominant culture.

I don't know about you, but I keep asking myself, "What can I do to create real change in the world? What's really going to make a difference?" From mass shootings and school shootings, the overturn of Roe, hate-based legislation of our most marginalized community members, and political corruption, it's no wonder we feel overwhelmed and hopeless. It's been illuminating to me that the system of white dominance is designed to create this very effect. To overwhelm us so we numb out. Because when we're

There are countless ways to describe stylist Renée Lara’s vision, but perhaps the best is personal. As a Style Expert, Renée encourages women to develop clarity, individuality and a sense of personal renewal through fashion. I know this was my experience when I worked with Renée several years ago. The time I spent with her fundamentally changed how I felt about my body and about being seen in the world. The confidence she brought out in me was equal to the love she poured into me.

Sometimes we finally realize things have to change. Whether you're burned out in your job or tired of trying to make a relationship work, or sick of living with old fears and beliefs, you know things have to change. But where do you start? With a therapist? A coach? A course? Today I'm talking with two women who both realized things needed to change. Although their paths are unique, both can attest to the value of investing in themselves. Listen as they share how 1:1 and group coaching
