When Someone You Love Has a Mental Illness

Rebel Buddhist ·

2021/04/22

I grew up with parents who both had mental health diagnoses: PTSD, depression, schizoaffective disorder… and it was FAR from easy. I remember how scared and embarrassed I'd be when my dad would be found walking around the block of the 'hood naked. Or the time he slipped a knife under my mattress telling me I had to be protected "just in case."I remember how unloved I felt and how scared I was when my mom would hit me.I also remember the inner struggles of wanting to love them so much but finding it

When Fear is a Good Thing

Rebel Buddhist ·

2021/04/15

In 2012, my husband and I took a cargo boat, which was way overloaded and inches from taking on water, for 3 days on the Niger river to Timbuktu. It was the most amazing adventure. If you look at the photo for this podcast (taken in the Sahara), we look so in love - but what’s not apparent is that we are fleeing a Touareg takeover in Timbuktu and driving across the Sahara to escape. We stopped once to pee (and took this photo). And we weren’t even supposed to do that! Ultimately, we live thinking

How to Let Go of Regret

Rebel Buddhist ·

2021/04/08

You may or may not know that my jam is helping people live a life of no regrets. Literally, it’s the first thing you see on my website. It says, “live a life of no regrets” because I’ve learned that it’s one of the things I do NOT want to feel after I’ve lived my life. And people will often say, “How can you...even say that’s possible?” Do you really believe we can not have regrets? Hell yes. Let’s look at the definition of regret: Regret from the perspective of psychology is a negative cognitive

Spiritual Parenthood

Rebel Buddhist ·

2021/04/01

One time I was complaining to one of my teachers that it was so much harder for me to progress spiritually since I became a mama. I wasn’t willing to leave my daughter for months to go on a retreat, and I barely found time to sleep, let alone meditate daily. I asked the teacher, whom I deeply trusted, “What should I do?” My teacher asked me if I had heard of Dipa Ma. Of course, I hadn’t. She explained that Dipa Ma’s specialty was helping householders cultivate their practice and helping them see

Letting Emotions Be Your Guide

Rebel Buddhist ·

2021/03/25

A few weeks ago, I was speaking with a friend who thinks the whole thoughts-feelings-actions thing is too cerebral, and she said, “emotions are intelligent and show us deep truths!”And I thought, totally! They show us our thoughts which show us our most deeply held beliefs -some of which we may not be conscious of. Deep truths.Emotions and thoughts: They aren’t mutually exclusive.But I ALSO added that I believe they tell us truths about how we are living in alignment with our truth or not.There are

Karma's a Bitch - Or Is it?

Rebel Buddhist ·

2021/03/18

Karma... it's not necessarily a concept that many of us think of every day. More than likely, that word pops into our heads when we've caught ourselves acting like a bitch to someone who definitely didn't observe it. "Just wait till karma catches up with you...!"Others, myself included, have had some serious introspective moments when faced with our own mortality... or the death of someone close to us. I remember taking a long hard look at the afterlife and karma when I was first diagnosed with

The Power of the Pause

Rebel Buddhist ·

2021/03/11

When I was first diagnosed with cancer, I was in graduate school, living in a friend’s basement. Suddenly, I was overcome with nausea, and I felt...awful. Instead of being with that, my brain went into planning mode. I started researching the web for answers and networking about creating an action plan. There was no pause, just diving into control mode. Thankfully, my years meditation practice kicked in and reminded me to pause. I noticed a big void. Then big emotion. I started crying. I went to

Jealousy and Sympathetic Joy

Rebel Buddhist ·

2021/03/04

Today we talk about those times when it’s hard to feel good about other people’s good luck and abundance, and maybe feeling a little - or a lot - jealous. Sometimes we don’t feel good about when a friend gets a new car, or the book deal we’ve been waiting years for, or the soulmate that we still haven’t met. But today you’ll learn that it’s totally normal, and that feeling “sympathetic joy,” or mudita, is one of the hardest qualities for most people to cultivate. I noticed that I would feel a lot of

Being Multi-Passionate

Rebel Buddhist ·

2021/02/25

In this episode we explore one aspect of our Dharma, our purpose in life.People often think this is one thing. Like, when people say “I’ve always known I wanted to be a marine biologist, ever since I was a kid.”Or, “I just knew I was going to be a teacher.”But the truth is, many of us have multiple strengths and passions that we long to share with the world - especially freedom junkies like my clients, and like you rebels out there listening to this podcast - but we never give ourselves permission

Money and Right Livelihood

Rebel Buddhist ·

2021/02/18

Every now and then I get comments about charging for what I teach. Like how dare I teach certain tools and charge for them. How can I charge to help people to stop overdrinking? Or have less anxiety? Or how to manage their mind? Or how to feel free?They say it is very “unspiritual” of me, very “un-Buddhist” of me, to earn a living helping people this way.So I wanted to discuss the concept of “right-livelihood” more in-depth, because I think there are some big misunderstandings of what right

Desire and Attachment

Rebel Buddhist ·

2021/02/11

Today we dive deeper into how desire fits into our life when we want to continue to evolve spiritually and act in ways that are compassionate to the earth and to others.A lot of people think of desire as this thing that we develop… but really, we have desire wired into us as humans.The essence of what Buddhism offers and teaches through mindfulness, lovingkindness, and compassion, is freedom of the heart. Not “needing” things, not being attached to things. But rather inner freedom. As a result,

The 4-Step Visualization Technique for Any Situation

Rebel Buddhist ·

2021/02/04

Last week we talked about how important it was to be able to start to embody the person you need to be in order to create the future you want – you need to already think feel and act like that person who has already achieved the things in life you want to manifest. Whether that is a future of more kindness. More freedom. Most justice for all... no matter what you want to manifest, the principles are the same.And like you may have heard me say before: the things we talk about here don’t pick sides

How to Manifest Your Ideal Life

Rebel Buddhist ·

2021/01/28

Us humans tend to think that it is only when we finally achieve our goals or dreams that we can feel more confident and happier and experience more self-love...and more worthy. And not before.But this is actually backwards...and I explain why in this episode.What a lot of people miss is that in order to manifest that life you just visualized, you need to start BEING - thinking, feeling, ACTING as the person who already has manifested those thingsAnd this is probably the most important part to

How to Disagree Like a Buddha

Rebel Buddhist ·

2021/01/21

The other day someone had posted a comment on a FB post I made and she said, “Please unfriend me. We obviously have different beliefs.”And this really stood out to me because I thought it was so...immature to not want to see differing opinions.But it’s quite pervasive these days, right?So I replied, “Actually, we aren’t friends on Facebook, but if we were you are always welcome to do so. But I want to invite you to consider that unfriending people just because they disagree with you might not be the

How to Let People Be Wrong About You

Rebel Buddhist ·

2021/01/14

I have a special treat for you today - after the last few episodes, I have received a LOT of comments and questions about how to not care what other people think about you.Another way I think of this is how to let people be wrong about you.And did you know that my podcast episode on exactly this topic was the MOST popular one of 2020? It’s true!I am one to follow signs that come my way - not signs that tell me about rule - no...as you know by now, I like to break rules that don’t make sense to me as

True Freedom

Rebel Buddhist ·

2021/01/07

We’ve heard stories of people that have taken prison sentences and transformed them into opportunities of spiritual development, or those who have taken extremely challenging life circumstances like tragic deaths and came out the other end, and people who don’t have the financial freedom to travel or not worry about paying the bills, but who feel joyous and free on the inside.How is that possible?While there are certainly many inalienable human rights that can help to define what freedom is, that’s

How to Forgive

2020/12/31

You know we’re all about Freedom here at the Rebel Buddhist – inside and out.One of the things I’ve found that we can do to give us the most emotional freedom in the next year is to partake in the courageous act letting go of things that no longer serve us, and one of the most radical acts we can do to let go, one of the things we can do for ourselves that can truly help us feel more light and free...is forgiving.So that’s what we’re talking about in this New Year’s Eve podcast episode: how to

How to Review Your Year

Rebel Buddhist ·

2020/12/17

Ever have a New Year resolution you didn’t follow-through on? You’re not alone! “Resolutions” seem to resonate less and less with how people want to enter into the New Year. After all, more resolutions are broken than kept, and that doesn’t feel like a way to enter the New Year with integrity.With traditional resolutions, people often find themselves stuck in the same place year after year – even with having the best of intentions and setting achievable goals that seem totally doable. Goals they

Why We Need to Adventure

Rebel Buddhist ·

2020/12/10

Today, we talk about adventure and being devoted to it.Adventure is essential to our evolution.When I was a child, I would get soooo bored. I was an only child in a poor neighborhood that had so much gun violence I wasn’t even allowed to play in the front of the house because of all the drive by shootings...let alone walk to a friend’s house.I made a promise to myself that when I grew up, I would never—ever—feel bored again.While this promise ended up creating a full-blown addiction to adventure,
