Episode 258: How To Build Self Compassion (Daily Inspiration)

 

This episode was inspired by a program that I’m building to help heart-centered solopreneurs to start taking action rather than being held back by imposter syndrome, doubt and fear. I’m very excited about this program and can’t wait to tell you more about it in a few weeks! For now, here’s what you need to know - this applies whether you’re a solopreneur or not because this episode is about self-compassion:

  • The question that I’ve been contemplating over the last few months as I build out my program is: Why is it so hard to take action sometimes?

  • Let’s use building a business for example. The path is quite straightforward:

    • Figure out what you have to offer (ex. teaching yoga, selling your paintings…)

    • Offer it

    …..but it’s SO hard sometimes! Why??

One reason is that the loudest voice inside your head is your inner critic. It’s incessantly berating you, putting you down and telling you to be afraid, be verrryyyy afraid.

In that kind of environment, it’s not safe to try new things or take risks.

The key, then, is to practice being much nicer to yourself - self-compassion.

In this episode, I introduce you the kind, compassionate witness. This voice is encouraging, compassionate and loving. It can see you for the whole and wonderful being that you are. When you listen to the voice of the kind, compassionate witness, you make much more progress toward the life that you love.

Listen to discover:

  • Why listening to your inner critic keeps you stuck

  • How the kind compassionate witness can help you move forward

  • One way to consider yourself so that it’s much easier to be kind toward yourself

Episode 257: How to get things done without the hustle (Daily Inspiration)

 

Have you ever noticed that the pace of life tends to correlate with the amount of pressure in your life?

It seems that the faster things go and the more there is on the to-do list, the more pressure and stress you feel.

The thing is - a faster pace doesn't necessarily translate to getting more done, making more progress or getting further along in your goals.

Sometimes it just means you have more stress or pressure in your life. That’s not great.

Not only is it harmful to your wellbeing, but taking action from a place of stress and/or pressure is not that effective.

In this episode, I’ll show you a different way to get things done that doesn’t involve so much stress, pressure and exhaustion. We might even say that it’s working in EASE & FLOW.

In this episode, discover:

  • What it takes to unlock the flow of creativity, inspiration and problem solving genius within you

  • 5 simple ways to slow down

Episode 256: How to stop letting "not good enough" hold you back from showing up (Daily Inspiration)

 

The fear of not being good enough can be strong enough to hold you back from putting yourself out into the world.

Not only does the world miss out on the amazingness that you have to share but YOU miss out on the enlivening, heart opening joy of doing what you love and feeling proud and expansive about it.

Have you ever experienced the following scenario?

You finally figure what lights you up. You feel it in your bones, what you’re meant to do right now and you’re so excited…but then you get stuck…

Maybe it’s that you constantly “save” social media posts for later because you need to think about it. You end up with a pile of great ideas but nothing actually gets out into the world because it’s hella scary to put it out when it’s only “half baked”.

Or maybe you hesitate to offer what you can help people with because you don’t think you’re good enough yet. You get stuck in “practicing” mode.

This episode is about how to get over needing to get it perfect and/or the fear of getting it wrong so that you can get on with it and do what you were meant to do!

In this episosde, discover:

  • How constantly striving to be better can actually be unhelpful

  • Instead of constantly trying to get an "A", what helpful mindset is more helpful (and conducive to your progress) instead

Episode 255: How To Trust Yourself More (Daily Inspiration)

 

Every Thursday, I teach a lovely restorative yoga class. Although the format of the class has changed a few times over the years - sometimes more flowy, sometimes more meditative, there is always a point in the class where we steep in true restorative poses.

It’s in the practice of letting go and being comfortable that wisdom of restorative yoga comes through.

In this episode, I have a lesson that I want to share with you from teaching restorative yoga…

If you want deeper inner connection more trust in yourself, learn to be comfortable, rest, and feel good.

We are so good at being uncomfortable. It's what we've been conditioned to do - politely saying yes out of obligation, forcefully pushing yourself beyond your limits, not asking for what you need because you don't want to be an inconvenience...

That kind of discomfort is a form of betraying yourself. How can you trust somebody who constantly dishonors what you need?

In today's episode, discover:

  • why being comfortable is a skill to be strengthened

  • how your inner self, body & emotions lets you know that you're mislaligned and are on the wrong path

  • what does self-trust look like

Episode 254: To really make progress, stop trying to hard! (Daily Inspiration)

Oftentimes, when we want results whether it be more clients, or more progress on your projects, we double down on our actions.

But actions don’t get you very far when there’s a lack of mental clarity.

Actions taken from a place of self-pressure, urgency, and fear will not lead you to the results that you want.

When you find yourself caught up in a storm of mental chatter, the most “productive” thing that you can actually do is to SLOW DOWN.

Sloowww dowwwn. Settle into the pause. Give yourself S P A C E.

That’s how you get back into inspired action, creative flow and restore the energy to put forth what you want into the world ✨

Episode 250: 3 Keys for doing hard things while honoring your nervous system (Daily Inspiration)

 

When know what action you need to take to make progress but you can't seem to make yourself do it, it's probably because there's a part of you that doesn't feel safe to do so.

Another sign that you’re not feeling safe to take this action is that you are scared. Perhaps there’s a sense of doubt, imposter syndrome or anxiousness.

What it can look like is:

  • A yoga teacher who teaches amazing classes but when it comes to creating a post on Instagram, they draw a blank and might even think “I don’t know anything about yoga”

  • Being at a loss for words when trying to tell people what you do (ex. “I’m a life coach who helps people have better relationships…”)

  • Taking 6 hours to record a 20 minute solo podcast

The fearless advice is to “feel the fear and do it anyway!”… sometimes that works but if it worked well enough you wouldn’t be here because you’d already be making the progress that you want.

What works better than “doing it anyway” is a loving and compassionate approach that honors your nervous system.

See, your survival system is part of your autonomic nervous system, which is involuntary. You can’t make your heart beat or your body sweat - it just happens. When your body thinks you’re in danger it involuntarily goes into survival mode. In survival mode, all efforts pointed toward surviving. Flow, creativity, and possibly rational thought is turned off. You might freeze.

The key is to create safety for yourself before and after doing hard things so that you can teach your body that, that blog post is actually not life threatening or approaching somebody to offer up your services is not life threatening.

In this episode, discover:

  • 3 keys to the loving & compassionate way to action, especially things that scare you

  • When you take action in this way, you're more able to show up as your fullest self in your business rather than filter parts of yourself out

Whether it be letting go of an old job, a relationship that no longer serves, a business idea that didn't work, an old way of doing things....

Saying goodbye is bittersweet, even if it's something that you were ready to let go of.

Episode 245: How To Get Yourself Out There And Make Progress (Daily Inspiration)

 

One of the biggest things that holds people back from reaching their goals is imposter syndrome, self-doubt, and fear.

You know this if you've ever had trouble creating content like writing an email or posting on social media.

In this episode:

  • One nugget of wisdom that helps you quicky get over whatever fear is holding you back and just "get out there" with what you want to share out into the world!

A note on Imposter Syndrome:

Imposter syndrome is the thing that makes you doubt your abilities, second guess your success, feel like a fraud....and basically just STAY SMALL. If you’ve ever tried to do something outside of your comfort zone, you’ve probably experienced imposter syndrome because fear does not like things that are unfamiliar. It tries to stop you by saying things like:

- You’re not good enough

- You don’t have enough credentials yet

- So and so does it way better than you

- Nobody is going to want that from you

What stops solopreneurs from making progress in their business isn’t usually due to lack of knowledge. Chances are, there’s a fear, like imposter syndrome that stops them from taking action. This episode offers a nugget that can quickly get you back into action taking mode!

In this episode, Ayurveda Specialist, Lauren Prindiville, from Ep.241: How To Incorporate Ayurveda In Everyday Life shares how she created a business doing what she loves.


Part of her journey has been to leave a secure teaching job that she loved so that she could travel the world, teach yoga and share her wisdom about Ayurveda.

She’s travelled around the world to Spain, Costa Rica, Bali, and Tahiti. She’s taught Yoga Teacher Trainings and runs online courses for Ayurveda. While all of this sounds like a dream, there were some challenges in creating this life. She shares all of that plus the successes in this episode.

Key Nuggets:

1.What is your calling right now?

To share and to teach

2. There’s a moment in this journey where we must decide to go all in – we can’t stay small in a bud anymore and we must decide that we want to step up.  Sometimes it comes in the form of something big like quitting your job and other times it’s a mindset shift like mustering the courage to show up fully. What did your moment of commitment look like?

I went to school to be an elementary teacher and taught in Spain and Costa Rica. It was in Costa Rica where I started to do a lot of yoga and decided that I wanted to take my YTT.

After travelling, I figured that I needed to get a “real” job so I found a full time teaching job. I loved my job but I wanted to try and do other things. I travelled to Bali and realized that I didn’t actually want to go back to my teaching job.

It was hard but I told the school that I wasn’t going to go back.

3. Did you have a formal plan of how long you were going to do this for?

No. I gave myself the option to go back [to teaching] though.

4. What’s was one of your first successes?

I didn’t know anybody when I moved to Tahiti and I didn’t speak French so I pivoted to putting my offers online. It worked out so well that I still have online program offerings today.

5. What was one time when you really wanted to quit? What kept you going?

It was hard to be in Tahiti because I don’t speak the main language. I tried teaching English but it wasn’t really working. I figured that I can either keep trying to do everything English or I can start to learn French so that I can have friends and a life here. 

6. What has been your biggest resistance, and how did you respond to it?

I’m always trying to do too many things. I manage it by staying organized and plan for the things that I want to do.

7. What is the best thing you've done to help you create this life?

Trusting that it would work out. Sometimes my courses didn’t work out but I kept trusting and trying anyway.

8, What do you do to check back and make sure that it is still all worth it, that you're still aligned?

I take time for myself to stay balanced and I also make sure to have fun and do things that aren’t related to work.

BONUS: What is a top resource recommendation that's helped you along your journey[00:28:40]
