Creating Emotional Responsibility to Feel More Empowered

Millennial Midlife ·

2024/11/07

A lot of times when I’m out walking, doing yoga, or meditating, I get a lot of clarity around new topics for the podcast. Today’s episode is one of those topics – emotional responsibility, or taking responsibility for how you feel. I wanted to bring this to Calmer Conversations because it’s something that comes up very often in my 1:1 coaching and group programs. This episode is bite sized and will teach you how you can start to consider your own emotions, rather than the ingrained belief that many

The Role of Identity in Making Change

Millennial Midlife ·

2024/10/31

Today I want to talk about the rule of identity, and specifically past identity and future identity, in creating change in your life. That change could be something that feels relatively small, like you may want to feel calmer (even though I would argue that's probably a big change), or it could be something really major, like you want to change careers or I you want to make a big move or do something else really drastic in your life. No matter where you are in that space, you're probably listening

Understanding Your Brain (The Motivational Triad)

Millennial Midlife ·

2024/10/24

Have you ever set a goal, say waking up really early to work out before you get your day started… but then your alarm goes off in the morning and you hit snooze. You end up feeling disappointed, frustrated, and maybe angry. You set a new commitment to do better the next day, but then the cycle repeats. If so, this episode is going to be really interesting for you. We’re exploring the duality of the brain, focusing on the primitive and higher functioning parts. When you listen, you’ll learn how these

What is Brain Based Change?

Millennial Midlife ·

2024/10/17

A lot of times in this work you’ll hear me mention “brain based change”, but what does this actually mean? When I am talking about using your brain to change, about using a brain based approach to creating change in your life, to feeling differently, to acting differently, what I'm talking about fundamentally is understanding what's happening in your head. This means understanding what is happening in your nervous system and working with that so that you can create change from a root cause level

On Turning 40 and My 10 Year Reflection

Millennial Midlife ·

2024/10/10

As I'm recording this episode on September 10th, yesterday was my birthday and I turned 40, which feels momentous. So for this episode, I was thinking, because it was on my brain a lot yesterday and today even, that I might share a little bit about where I was 10 years ago in case that helps you and also just to give you a little bit more of an idea of my story and where I've come from and what's happened in my life and what I've kind of created over that time period. I’m blown away when I look at

Reframing “I’ll be happy when…”

Millennial Midlife ·

2024/10/03

Before listening to this episode, I want you to take five minutes to end this thought: “I’ll be happy when…” or you can insert calm/successful/loved or whatever it is you’re desiring at this moment. Give yourself the opportunity to brainstorm and write down everything that comes up, whether it’s something big or small. The reason why I want to start to play with this question and the reason why we're devoting an entire episode to it is because it pushes our happiness off into the future – that

Thought Work and Nervous System Regulation for Parents

Millennial Midlife ·

2024/09/26

If you’ve listened to the past couple episodes of the podcast or if you’re connected with me on social media, you know that my family and I have recently moved from a small island in Maine to Virginia. Not only that, my kids are starting school for the first time ever. So in this episode, I want to discuss how I have been using her work to support myself and my children through the changes and shifts in our lives. You will learn the importance of understanding and processing our own thoughts and

How I Use Thought Work in My Daily Life

Millennial Midlife ·

2024/09/19

In this episode, I thought I would share my personal experience of using the tools and skills I talk about in each episode of this podcast during a period of change and uncertainty in my own life. I’m sharing how I navigated the emotions and challenges that arose during our recent move (while being pregnant!) and how I stayed grounded and calm throughout the process. You’ll hear the importance of recognizing and accepting emotions, asking meaningful questions, and being aware of thoughts and

Real Thought Work vs. Toxic Positivity

Millennial Midlife ·

2024/09/12

Today on Calmer Conversations, I want to talk about the difference between intentional thought work and toxic positivity. Sometimes when people find out about this work or sometimes when I get questions about it, they think that coaching or they think mindset work is really about only using positive affirmations or always keeping a positive mindset and I don't think that could be further from the truth. In reality, when I think about this work, I really think about how it's an embracing of all of

Moving from “Silly” Thoughts into Curiosity for More...

Millennial Midlife ·

2024/09/05

Today I want to talk about silly thoughts, more specifically that there are no silly thoughts or that what we judge as silly thoughts are actually not silly. While this sounds a little bit funny to be using the word silly so many times, I think this is something that comes up quite a lot, particularly for people who have an active cognitive brain, consider themselves to be overachievers, or have a decent understanding of how their brain works. Most thoughts don't make logical sense and are based on

Bonus Skill #2 for Creating Calmer Change: Allowing

Millennial Midlife ·

2024/08/29

In this episode, we’re jumping into the second bonus tool of creating calmer change: allowing. If you haven’t listened to the previous episodes in this series, be sure to do that first! Now, allowing is a foundational skill that can be used to shift your mindset and bring intentionality into your life. When listening, you will learn the concept of allowing and its opposite of resisting and how resisting emotions can hinder personal growth. I’m sharing the importance of accepting and processing

Bonus Skill #1 for Creating Calmer Change: Slowing Down

Millennial Midlife ·

2024/08/22

Over the past few episodes of the podcast we've gone through the foundational tools that I use and teach over and over again, and they appear in almost everything that I talk about and everything that I teach – that is awareness, acceptance, and curiosity. So tune into the past three episodes if you haven’t. But as I was recording the episodes, these two other tools kept floating around in my mind as really foundational tools as well. I don't talk about them perhaps not as much, but I think that

3 Tools for Calmer Change: Curiosity

Millennial Midlife ·

2024/08/15

If you’ve missed it, we are in the middle of a three week series that's about working with your brain, specifically the three tools that I use daily and that I teach over and over again in different permutations with my clients, so they are underlying all of the work that I do. These three tools are awareness, acceptance, and curiosity. Last week, we talked about acceptance and the week before we talked about awareness. So before tuning into this episode, be sure to go back and listen to those two

2024/08/08

Welcome to the newest episode of Calmer Conversations, right now we're in the middle of a three-week mini series on working with your brain and nervous system (so tune into last week’s episode if you haven’t already). Throughout the series, I'm talking about the three specific tools that I use and teach over and over again to create lasting change in my clients lives. Most of the work that we do comes back to these three tools because they manifest in different ways and we use them in different ways

3 Tools for Calmer Change: Awareness

Millennial Midlife ·

2024/08/01

Over the next three episodes of Calmer Conversations, I'm going to cover three tools that I think are key in creating more calm in your life or making change in your life. These three tools are something that I use over and over again with my clients and that I use every single day in my own life – awareness, acceptance and curiosity. Today we are focusing on awareness. We're going to start at the beginning, and specifically look at non-judgmental or gentle observer type awareness. I’ll be the first

Working With Your Nervous System for More Lasting Change

Millennial Midlife ·

2024/07/25

Today our topic is your nervous system and why it matters. If you are even tangentially interested in personal growth, which I'm guessing you probably are if you're listening to this podcast, you've likely heard about your nervous system and nervous system regulation. A lot of personal growth focuses on mindset and understanding and working with the thoughts that you have. This is really huge, important life-changing work, it's a big part of what I do, it's what we've talked about in the first two
