You are already awesome. And you are here for more. Hi, I am Lael Petersen, a social worker, life coach and mom. I believe women are uniquely equipped to change the world, we just sometimes forget.

2022/05/19

Sometimes following our hunches, yearnings or desires create waves. Sometimes it doesn't always feel like a "heck yes" to be vulnerable or have a difficult conversation. But in the long run - it’s a "heck yes" for me to live aligned with my values even if it causes uncomfortable growing pains in the short term. Even when it means following my nonsensical yearnings. Because who knows where those yearnings might lead us? I believe they lead us to a more embodied and rich life. A life where we are

2022/05/05

My word for 2022 is JOY. After living through the pandemic, epically burning out last year, and navigating perimenopause fo the last five years, I was needing some joy in my life. I knew I would bee to be conscious about cultivating it, because JOY wasn’t showing up on it’s own. Over solstice last winter, I shared my word JOY with my witchy friends Autumn and Jendeah and they were like, "Joy, yes, but have you considered Pleasure?" Pleasure? Ummm. no. I'm immediately thinking, "Is pleasure

Ep. 32: Reframing Adolescence with Kirsten Cobabe

2022/04/21

Adolescence. What a challenging time! I know I'm not alone when I say I would never want to go back to my teen years. Despite having some amazing experiences, I was an emotional mess. Parenting adolescents is challenging, too! It can bring out the best and worst in us as parents. I keep seeing how my unhealed wounds are activated when my kids move through the developmental phase in which those wounds originated. I see how easy it is for me to project my experiences onto them - if I'm not paying

"My greatest hope is that by growing food, seeds, herbs, and medicines I can reconnect myself and my community to just and connected ways of living, giving, and connection with the living world.” - Jen Williams, Wild Dreams Farm and Seed As a whole, we are unrooted people. Our modern lifestyle has caused us to lose our connection with the land, our history, and our interconnectedness. The result can be a low-grade feeling of confusion, apathy, and anxiety.

They say we're all born creative. I believe this and yet struggle to embrace it in my everyday life. How can we tap into our innate creativity? How might it benefit us and others when we do? For this conversation, I knew I wanted to talk to artist and writer Sarah Love. I've been following Sarah and gifting her calendars to my clients, friends and family for years. Her daily nuggets of rainbow-colored wisdom help me love myself more and tap into my creative nature. Sarah Love McCoy is not only

2022/03/10

My word for 2022 is JOY. The last few years have taken a lot out of us and I felt like it was missing from my life. Cultivating joy has become my new hobby. I'm being more intentional about cultivating and experiencing more joy every day - through music, my cat, my kids, a great show, a captivating book, a walk with a friend, working out, an excellent cup of coffee. It takes some practice, but life is feeling so much better. Marli Williams is one of those people I met who just exudes joy and

In a world that's obsessed with health and wellness, why are we still drinking so much? We know it's not good for us. Consuming even 1-2 alcoholic beverages a day increases our rate of breast cancer and heart disease - two major killers of women and yet alcohol is everywhere. Baby showers. Book clubs. PTA meetings. Why do we think we can't do life without being slightly buzzed? What BS narrative have we bought into? This is what I explore with our guest today, Naomi Veak. Naomi stumbled into

We've all heard the saying that in order to change the world, we have to start with ourselves. What you are going to learn today will take that common and well-meaning sentiment to a whole other level. Today I'm talking with the kind and wise Kathleen Rice who is on the teaching staff at the Nanci Luna Jiménez Institute for Social Transformation (LJIST). We're talking about adultism - the systematic oppression of children and how adultism is the breeding ground for all other forms of oppression -

Everyone has advice for how to handle the holidays: Remember what's meaningful. Set better boundaries. Keep things simple. While these aren't terrible ideas, they can sometimes feel generic. I tend to shy away from posts and podcasts that offer such general advice. I'm not sure it's that helpful. Everyone's needs are so unique! But this year my heart kept saying, "Someone needs to hear what you have to say." So here you go. Some "Not So Typical Holiday Advice." While you listen, consider the

2021/12/02

If you have been in a slump or feeling burned out, today I'm sharing what's helping me recover from burnout. I also want to share how experiencing burnout is shifting my work and how I show up in the world. Last week, members of our coaching programs went on retreat together. We gathered with one intention - to rest. Instead of taking care of everyone, I allowed myself to rest as well. As a result, I experienced one of the most transformative experiences I've ever had with a group of women. I could

Words create worlds. What kind of world are you creating? I asked my teacher and friend @rtgreenidge to talk me through what I've been exploring and dismantling in my work and my life. Perfectionism. Overworking. Yt culture + wellness. The things we talk about all the time. I secretly hoped she would put my breakdown into context for you. But true to Rebecca's nature - she only had more questions for me. Rebecca is what most people would call an anti-racism coach. But she's more than that, and as

2021/11/11

When it comes to our emotions, most of us have experienced the influence of hormones. Even a slight fluctuation in our hormonal system can affect how we think and feel. As I recover from burnout, I keep wondering, How much of what I'm going through right now is related to changes in my hormones? How much of this breaking down and my emotionality is related to perimenopause? How can I harness the wisdom that comes with this life transition without being jerked around by my symptoms? I wanted to ask

I've been curious about the Enneagram for a long time. (Therapists often use it in their work.) But until recently, I never made the time to explore its wisdom. When I started digging deeper and seeing myself reflected so clearly in the Type 2 personality, I immediately wanted to talk to Jessica. I knew she would help me understand what this meant for me given what I've been going through. Jessica Denise Dickson (she/her/hers) is a life empowerment coach who believes that when Black women heal, the

2021/10/28

Today we're talking about something I'm not so great at - embodying my emotions. You'd think because I was a therapist and a yoga teacher, I'd get an A in this subject, but that's not the case. For a while, I've been telling myself that because I move on so quickly from difficult events or painful emotions, I must be a fast processor. That I was super skilled at digesting my emotions and moving on. Now, I'm not so sure. I think what I might be doing is intellectualizing, compartmentalizing, and

Today, I’m talking with Business Strategist and life enthusiast Sarah Cook. Sarah was one of my coaches when I was in Trudi Lebron's Amplified Impact Mastermind this year. During our time together, I came to respect Sarah's perspective on equity, the coaching industry, and how we can do better. I reached out to her because lately, I've been wrestling with my training as a coach. In hindsight, one of the programs focused a lot on building a business, but not so much on being a better coach.

Today I'm talking with my friend in work and life, Kirstin Pinit. Kirstin and I met nearly 5 years ago and immediately bonded over our passion for mind-body wellness, entrepreneurship, and coffee. Very quickly, we also noticed a shared tendency towards overworking. Overworking: Doing more than is expected or required. Pushing harder than necessary to get the job done. Indulging perfectionism. Allowing fear to run the show. Using work as a means to distract or numb. #guilty! Listen to our

She was my first supervisor, in fact, and has remained a trusted mentor and friend in both work and life since then. Tracey has a private therapy practice in Portland, OR where she sees individuals and couples. When she is not at work she can be found spending time with her 2 teens, lifting heavy things at the gym, dabbling in oil

Do you know what happens when you stop moving? You start feeling. That's what happened to me. I thought I was just burned out, and that once I was rested I would feel better. Turns out burnout was just the wake-up call for me to deal with some bigger shit. When I started clearing space in my schedule and slowing things down a bit, I started to feel. All the thoughts and feelings I had been pushing away for months (maybe years?) came rushing in. Like a tsunami. (Not pleasant.) So that's what I’m

Ep. 15: Clearing Space

You"ve Got Lael ·

2021/09/23

One way to visualize the effects of burnout is to use the image of a battery. If you can identify the things that deplete your battery charge, you can also consider the things that recharge it. When you're draining your battery and not recharging it, well...you're gonna end up with a dead battery. That's what happened to me. And what's happening to so many people right now. The first thing I did when I realized I wasn't just tired, I was burned out, was to clear some space. I determined my top three
