Finding Joy in the Hard ·

2024/12/15

Have you ever taken the time to notice what you're thinking? Unless it's a practice, you likely don't. We think our thoughts are who we are. We hear them, think they're true and live accordingly. But when we take time to notice what we're thinking, we can start to see a pattern. Maybe you'll hear a lot of shoulds. You should do that. You should do this. Or maybe you'll hear how critical you are of yourself. Why did you say that? Why did you think that? You'll never...

2024/12/04

Today I'm sharing with you, "The gifts of grief," my interview with Cecilia Mannella. It's very fitting that I'm resharing this episode today, December 4th because it's the anniversary of my dad's death. My dad would be 94. He died when he was 79.

Are you brave enough to let yourself be vulnerable and open your heart to connect to another person? In today's episode - 100!!!! -- I share a story about how Cathy Heller, author of Abundant Ever After and podcast host of the same name, was out to dinner with her family in July weeks after her father passed.

#098 What Have You Decided You're Too Old to Do?

Finding Joy in the Hard ·

2024/11/20

What have you decided you're too old to do? Recently I turned 60. I can't believe I'm admitting it to you because it sounds too old. But my dad, whose birthday happens to be today, never let age stop him. In his 60's and 70's, he hiked the Appalachian Trail (or half of it before he passed). When he was 75, he started classical guitar lessons and when he was 77, he applied and was accepted into Columbia University's Graduate School. Thinking we're too old is a mindset. We...

2024/08/12

My guest, Rachel Martin, prides herself on being a truth teller. She's taking her mask off and telling the truth. Hiding behind a mask and trying to make everything look perfect takes too much effort and gives you zero time to fix things. She's grateful for the people who went out on a limb and said to her, "that's not normal or you need to work on this." You can reach Rachel at FindingJoy.net and on FaceBook, FindingJoyBlog.

2024/08/06

Allison Wyman, a family caregiving attorney, coach and consultant says the perfect time to talk about caring for a family member is when things are good so we’re prepared when the inevitable happens. It’s not if, but when a family member will need support. Allison had to take on caregiving for her parents when she was a teen and then again in her late 20s. Perilous financial situations interrupted the grieving process. Allison’s quest is to make sure the rest of us are prepared. In this ...

2024/07/29

Do you even realize you're doing it? What if we can listen to understand versus listen to correct or fix? Think about how much less stress we'll have? Listening to understand calms the nervous system and it creates connection with another person versus division. It's a simple thing to change but not a simple thing to do. It takes practice and awareness. Give it a try and let me know you're experience. To receive Suzanne's weekly mindfulness and Jin Shin Jyutsu healing tips...

In my 100th episode, Angela Crawford shares her journey with breast cancer and how it taught her to advocate in every area of her life. Angela shares what the journey taught her about herself, how she approached it and how every cancer story is different. She's uplifting and takes away a lot of the fear. A few of the takeaways include: 1)We have to advocate for our own health. No one else is going to do it for us. 2) If you're going to talk to someone who's gone through the same thing, t...

2024/07/02

Are you critical of your body or are you supportive and complimentary to your body? We don't just have a body. We are our body.Let that sink in for a moment. You are your body. Do you listen to your body when you're tired? Do you get up and go to sleep? When you have to go to the bathroom, do you get up and go? Or do you wait because you don't want to excuse yourself from something or someone? Is there a part of your body that you constantly criticize? Instead ...

Finding Joy in the Hard ·

2024/06/24

Do you ever find that sometimes you feel anxious or fearful and you can't figure out the reason? Sometimes there is no reason. A lot of times there is no reason. Often, it has to do with the feelings we've shoved down consciously or unconsciously getting triggered and seeking an escape. So what do we do? In this episode, I share three ways to allow the emotion whether it be anxiety, fear, anger or another feeling to pass through you more gently and easily. Questions, plea...

2024/06/18

We all know that we push down emotions, both consciously and unconsciously. But have we stopped to question how that shoving down is holding us back in life? Dr. David Hawkins in his book, Letting Go, shares that we think external circumstances cause us to be angry, sad, fearful, fill in the blank, but stress results from accumulated pressure from within, from guess what - those repressed and suppressed emotions. He says external events or circumstances only trigg...

2024/06/14

Here's a meditation I taught on easing worry and connecting to the abundance within you. The Jin Shin Jyutsu that I teach is the long version to calm worry. You'll hold three fingers starting with thumb, followed by your middle finger and lastly your little finger. It doesn't matter which hand you hold, but continue with the hand you started with. If you're uncertain how long to hold, you can hold each finger for two minutes or longer. As you practice, you might notice your energy ...

#085 What are you Holding onto Too Tight?

Finding Joy in the Hard ·

2024/06/08

What are you holding on to so tight that it's hard to breathe fully? It's hard to walk. It's hard to move. And why are you holding on to it? Our accumulated thoughts and way of behavior have made us an imposter to who we really are. We're living as a character, instead of as ourselves. Leo Brusccaglia said, "There are people waiting for someone like us to come along. Someone who will live a happier life merely because we took the time to share what we had to...

Today, I share with you a guided Jin Shin Jyutsu meditation that I taught this morning via zoom. We start with a healing hold to release attachment to thoughts and to balance digestion. I guide you through a body scan to balance mind, body and spirit. The meditation then allows you to take a birds-eye look at the life you're currently committed to. Not what's important to you, but rather the habits and way in which you're currently living, in a non-judgment way. As you go deeper into the...

2024/05/30

Is it true what they told you? So often when people give us advice, especially if they have a certain authority to their tone, it comes across as feeling as if it's fact or truth. But it's only a theory. It's based on their thinking and what they're believing.
