#121 What if You Slow Down?

Finding Joy in the Hard ·

2025/05/04

What if you slow down? How does that land for you? Are you thinking, "I can't. I'll never get anything done? My question for you is: what are you not getting done because you're moving so fast? Maybe like me you're missing things? Or maybe you're making mistakes? Or maybe you're not giving yourself space to dream or reflect? When we slow down we give ourselves time to think and to feel. Feeling is likely the reason we don't slow down. Feeling i...

Finding Joy in the Hard ·

2025/04/27

Do you ever feel out of sorts? Perhaps you move from activity to activity or even room to room in your home and you can’t figure out how to settle. You’re exhausted and can barely move or maybe you’re jittery and can’t relax. Or maybe you’re somewhere in between. That was me the past two days. And no matter how many holistic practices I tried, or hours of Netflix I watched, I couldn’t get comfortable. Until I met myself where I was at…in the discomfort. If you’re thinking ...

#119 Do You Realize How Special You Are?

Finding Joy in the Hard ·

2025/04/20

Do you realize how special you are and how you are making someone else's life infinitely better even if they don't tell you? It sounds conceited to even say it let alone think it, but what if that is simply our old ways of thinking that we learned from our parents and they learned from their parents. Focusing on the gift of who we are instead of our shortcomings and all that we're not shifts how we see the world and interact in it. One of the most selfish things we can do is...

#118 Are You Dismissing Your Feelings?

Finding Joy in the Hard ·

2025/04/14

We all know what it's like when others dismiss how we feel, but what about when we do it to ourselves? If you're not sure, here are a few examples of what you may say to ourselves. I should be stronger. I am okay. I should be over this by now. I'm being too sensitive. I've dealt with worse. I don't have time to feel this right now I shouldn't feel this way. The crazy thing is even though I teach women how to reconnect to themselves, this past I had dismissed my own feelings...

#117 Are Your Beliefs Tripping You Up?

Finding Joy in the Hard ·

2025/03/30

In episode 117, I ask you to question how your beliefs are tripping you up? I'm not referring to religious beliefs, but rather those beliefs that rule how you think and how you feel. Beliefs like, I'm not ready; I can't do it; If I don't see it, it can't be true; If it hasn't happened yet, it won't happen; I'm too old; I should know how to do this by now. And so many more. A belief is merely a thought we've had again and again, and we now believe is true....

#116: Do you allow yourself to face your fears?

Finding Joy in the Hard ·

2025/03/09

When our boys were little, they played a game with their cousin called Face Your Fears. One at a time, they would venture into the unfinished part of the basement without the lights on. Can you just imagine their little excited bodies jumping up and down at the prospect of doing something a little risky? When was the last time you intentionally faced a fear? Usually we avoid things that scare us, sometimes avoiding things that can make our lives more special. One thing that helps me i...

#115 How often do you expect things to go wrong?

Finding Joy in the Hard ·

2025/03/09

Do you even know? Until we start paying attention to what we're thinking, we may not even realize how we might be expecting things to go wrong. This way of thinking not only makes us more hesitant, it keeps in lack and focusing on our limitations versus our opportunities. This episode is simply an invitation to start noticing.

#114 - Are You Cancelling Yourself Out?

Finding Joy in the Hard ·

2025/03/02

Another way of saying this is - are you self abandoning? This thought came to me today while reviewing my students mindfulness assignments - they had to pick something they multitask and for seven days single task the primary activity. One student stopped wearing his Airpods at the gym. What he noticed is that not only was he cancelling out the noise, but also those who were trying to offering him helpful advice on alignment. It got me thinking: First, how do...

Finding Joy in the Hard ·

2025/02/23

Have you ever paid attention to yourself when you judge? The answer is likely no. We slip into that firey hot feeling without even noticing it—most times. Well today I noticed. I was waiting for my Matcha tea in Starbucks and I saw someone do something. That holier than thou voice in my head started ranting. Usually it happens so fast, I don't even notice myself. But today I did. I checked in to see what I was feeling about me. And guess what? Absol...

Today my guest is Melissa Colbeck. Melissa lost her father suddenly eleven years ago on the day we recorded this episode (December 21st). Melissa has always believed there is a reason for everything and while it took her several years, she found multiple blessings following his death. It's a heartfelt, powerful conversation where we talk about a wide range of topics including how Melisa decided when she would end her grief and asked her father for a sign to help her do so.

#0111 Do You Slow Down Enough to Celebrate Yourself?

Finding Joy in the Hard ·

2025/02/13

I recorded this episode after I did something that I procrastinated on for four months! Do you allow yourself to relish the beautiful things that you did, or accomplished? Or are you like me and you push through? It's not enough, you're not there yet. Keep going. You don't even pause to reflect on what you've accomplished. And accomplishments can be anything. Maybe you sat for a moment and reflected this morning. We don't have to do anything but we do need to celebrate ourse...

You don't even pause to reflect on what you've accomplished. And accomplishments can be anything. Maybe you sat for a moment and reflected this morning. We don't have to do anything but we do need to celebrate ourselves; to acknowledge our wins. Or else life is full of pressure. In this episode ...

Welcome back to Finding Joy in the Hard. Let the guilt go. If you said or did the wrong thing, you can say you're sorry. But guess what? No one else probably noticed. And if they did, they noticed it for a second and moved on. Why can't we? Because our minds like torturing us. That's its safe place. But what the world needs more is your heart. The world needs us to shine. The world needs us to be ourselves. Why is it so hard to be us? It should be the sim...

Imagine meeting yourself for the first time, taking off your blinders and letting all the expectations go. Imagine seeing yourself as strangers do. Notice and feel your essence, your strength and your power. Maybe you notice your weaknesses, but that's not where you dwell. You see the whole person. This was a meditation that I taught today in my Monday Morning Meditations to Stay Strong. It's a live zoom call every Monday Morning at 8am (EST). Sometimes I share these meditations here on...

My husband told me this today when I told him about a conversation I had had a few weeks ago and how I'd respond differently next time. He said, "You waste a lot of energy on things that don't matter."It gave me pause and I wondered is this just a me thing —which I don't think it is or do a lot of us do that? That is the focus on this five and half minute minisode along with a way we can switch gears and a healing tip to stop overthinking. If you have questions, please reach out to me o...

Welcome to Season 2 of Finding Joy in the Hard. I'm so excited to be in Season 2. It's such an honor and a pleasure to share these conversations and mini-sodes with you. Since I launched season 1 with my story, it seems fitting to launch season 2 with a twist on my story - and thus I'm sharing Ydaiber Orozco's interview with me. We sat down last May, two days after the summit we attended in LA. We talk about women uplifting women, taking risks and how we are not our pain stories, and so...

2024/12/22

It's a few days before Christmas and Hanukkah and I have a question for you. Are you breathing? I know it sounds silly because of course you're breathing. You have to breathe to live. But when we get overwhelmed with our to do list, especially during the holidays, we can forget to breathe, hold our breath, or breathe shallow.And all of this creates more stress. So this year, What if you pause? And I mean literally pause. Set your watch or your timer or whatever device...
