Trigger warning: today's episode is intense. Especially if you have been personally traumatized by the toxicity of the U.S's religious institutions. Today I am talking about creating your own spiritual middle ground. It's outside of these harmful religious institutions, but not so far the opposite way into spiritual mysticism and woo woo land. It's right in the middle. There's only one rule required in order to practice it. And it's probably not what you think it is. In a time where the characteristic's of spirit are needed more than ever on this planet (honesty, patience, gentleness, tolerance, open mindedness), we must make sure we are carving out a space in our own lives for a spiritual practice that work's for US. We don't have to accept someone else's version of it, we are completely free to create our own. 

Today we are discussing all things decisions. I think as a collective we don't put much thought into how and why we make our decisions. (You’re probably like, omg she talks about decisions SO MUCH, ffs.)BUT— I honestly think some people don't even yet realize the full extent of WHAT a decision is! It's not just polka dots or stripes, sedan or SUV. Decisions are the tiny and minute directing forces of our entire conscious life!From my own experience, I used to be grossly UNAWARE of why I made the decisions I made or whether I liked my reasons for them or not. SOOO….After getting coached all these years and after BECOMING a coach (fuck ya), I now understand and can SEE the full gravity of this lack of awareness. (And I am SEEING it in people EVERYWHERE I look, YIKES)I can also now FEEL the transformative difference between NOT having this FREEDOM and AUTHORITY to decide and HAVING it. Life & death. Night & day. At the end of today’s Eureka with Ellicia podcast episode I leave you with two monumental questions that I want you to seriously stop and ask yourself.And then… come tell me what YOU’VE discovered.Go to elliciaturnercoaching.com for more details. 

This has been my favorite episode to record thus far, I had so much fun talking about WHY INVESTING IN YOURSELF IS THE SMARTEST THING YOU COULD EVER EVER DO.  Sorry for all the caps, I got excited. In this episode we talk about exactly what stands in our way of  finally investing in ourselves and how to overcome that so you can get EXCITED about investing in yourself. Your brain is what creates everything in your life: the money you make, the quality of your relationships, the way you interpret the world. Investing in your brain and your mind is the ONLY way to improve your life. It's the only solution. Enjoy. 

Today's episode is sure to give me a vulnerability hangover but ALAS, here is a huge part of my story. I will be reading an autobiography of sorts, one that I wrote this April on a plane flying home from Austin TX. This story is centered around my late & GREAT friend Cole Christianson. Our relationship spans life & death and has been the catalyst for the most important teachings I have learned so far in my life. In this episode I share these teachings, our story, and where I plan on going from here. 

Today we're talking about the emotion we call PRIDE. Pride is only ever a problem when it stands in the way of what we really want. What ALL of us really want... is amazing mental and emotional health. Why? Because having amazing mental and emotional health is what determines everything is our lives: the quality of our relationships, our career choice, the amount of money we make, where and how we choose to live, the lens through which we experience LIFE. Pride blinds us from acknowledging that our current mental and emotional health is no longer chalking up, and it's also keeping us from improving it. Listen and discover how to think about pride & YOUR mental health... differently. Go to elliciaturnercoaching.com for more information. 

This week I'm talking about why hitting rock bottom...isn't the worst thing to ever happen. I share two of my biggest rock bottom moments and reflect on how these difficult seasons of my life helped guide me into ultimately finding a more healthy and fulfilling way of operating. I explain how rock bottoms aren't only there to destroy you, they're there to help you build something new. Go to elliciaturnercoaching.com for more information.
