Today's show is a shorty - about 20 minutes or so, and it's off the top of my head...unscripted and pretty organic, so you'll get to hear me in all my spiral-ly glory. What can I say...sometimes I just want to say the words instead of writing them (but you can always subscribe to Sunday Muse, my email newsletter, for the bigger picture). What I offer in this episode is a phrase that I want you to consider: "Right now..." and why.For your consideration, beautiful souls.I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Today’s show is a conversation with my friend and coach Bridgette Boudreau. I’ve had Bridgette on the show before to talk about her mosaic approach to being guided toward our purpose and joy, and if you didn’t get a chance to listen to that one you can find it as Episode 12 of this podcast.Today’s conversation is about wayward coaches. Intrigued? I hope so, because whether you’re a coach or not... or if you are a coach, whether you’re practicing or not...there is so much in today’s conversation about the influence of marketing and popular culture on us all, and how regardless of the intention of any of it, we can so easily internalize it to mean that there’s something wrong with us, that we don’t belong.The coaching world NEEDS heart-centered people with a call to healing. And to see wonderful humans who want to help but feel turned off or turned away from the industry because of loud messaging just leave their dream behind is incredibly sad.Yet hyperbolic messaging and loudness is not going away. BUT just because it's so amplified, it's  not the only  way. I’m really passionate about amplifying other voices, such as Bridgette's, that are down to earth, kind and wise voices out there that, like our own inner voice, our intuition, are quieter. More subtle and substantial and meaningful to our soul. It’s my great pleasure to bring this conversation to you and I hope you enjoy. Find Bridgette & her parlor at:BridgetteBoudreau.comThe Mosaic Life Purpose LabFollow Bridgette on InstagramFollow Bridgette on Facebook Here's Bridgette's FaceBook post on red flags to watch for in personal/spiritual development marketing.Like this episode?

Hello Beautiful Souls!  I’m bringing you a special conversation between myself and my good friend and colleague Dr Sonia Wright, The Midlife Sex Coach (TM). We’re talking all about something exciting that will be happening in the world in Spring 2023: our upcoming project the YES (Your Empowered Sexuality) Sexual Intimacy Coaching School.Sonia has a goal to impact the sexual intimacy of millions of women around the world, work she's already doing  in so many ways, and certification in sexual intimacy is just another way for women to start fully owning their sexuality and pleasure. We’re creating a movement where it’s OK to talk about sex and sexual intimacy and to own yourself as a sexual being, and we invite you to come along for the ride.In this episode, find out why we decided to create this program, some important factors about it, and some of the phenomenal things to expect. We talk about the importance of dismantling internalized shame we have absorbed from the patriarchy and share our hopes, dreams, and plans for this powerful program. You may have caught my Sunday Muse email where I talked about Hell Yesses not always being on point...I had plenty of time to consider partnering with Sonia on this training once she asked and I'm here to tell you...this was a Hell Yes and continues to be a Hell Yes for me, and you're invited to make it a hell yes for you, too. There's plenty of time, and the best way to discern if this training is in your future is to get on our "wait list" where you'll be the first to get all of information over the next few months on the program, the how's and why's, the cost and scope, and how to register, no strings attached. Get your name on the list now. ❤️Or, you can reach out to me at [email protected]/or check out Sonia and her work here.

Today's episode holds an announcement I'm proud to make about a collaboration between my friend and colleague Dr. Sonia Wright (The Midlife Sex Coach) and myself, and then I get down to business talking about cutting cords.We all tether ourselves to things that, whether they were necessary, fabulous, "right" for us at the time or not, are now tying us down in ways that feel oppressive and constricting. Yet we might not want to fully see those cords because...it's scary to see them. To acknowledge them. If we're conscious of something that needs to change, we usually feel compelled in some way to either do something about it or make peace with it. Neither option feels particularly comfortable to most of us. Today I talk about why the thought of cutting a cord - of ending an affiliation, a way of doing things, a way of being, a belief system, even a relationship - can feel so very scary...and I offer some reality on severing these tethers that bumps up against a lot of conventional, commercialized "wisdom" that's more ideal than congruent with human experiencing.If you want to learn more about the YES Sex and Intimacy Coaching Training, get your name on the wait-list. There's literally no obligation, but if your discernment leads you to wanting the training, our waitlist people will have the first opportunity to enroll when the sales door opens. Here's the waitlist link.I'm so excited to be launching my Emobodied Arcana call series in late November-early December. Each call will be focused on one archetype from the Tarot Major Arcana, and you'll come away intimately acquainted with how this archetype lives within you and how to harness the gifts it offers you. ALL subscribers of my Sunday Muse emails will have free invites to these calls and also be able to access  the archive of call recordings.

Lastly, I have SO much gratitude for all listeners, and if it's possible to feel even more grateful (I think it always is), I have those who reach out after a podcast episode or Sunday Muse posting to thank. It means the WORLD to me to know anything I'm musing & talking about resonates with you. Thank you so, so much.I have a few spots for new clients available, and my podcast and Sunday Muses are a great way to get familiar with me...but the absolute BEST way is to reach out to schedule a free discovery call where we'll have a no-pressure, no-obligation,  come-as-you-are conversation. You and me, sharing space. Message me on social or email me directly using the links below...I hope to meet you!Wanna touch base? I'd love to hear from you and welcome comments, questions, insights and of course, introductions.  Seriously. ❤️Instagram at Lisa_HatlestadFacebook at Lisa HatlestadEmail at [email protected]

I wasn’t going to record this week, as I’m on retreat, but had a few thoughts and a worthy values exercise come to mind to share with you today so…here it is. 

Today's show is brief and simple - a gift from me to you that you may reject.And that's okay.Because *simple* is not a concept we love. Oh, we love the thought of simplicity...and then we buy a shit ton of books and classes and magazines and sessions from a simplicity mentor to simplify our life; in essence pre-undoing how we want to be.Even today, as I was recording this, I wanted to make it deeper, more complicated. I felt the urge to embellish so it would seem like more to you...but if you listen, and if you're open, it's possible you'll grasp the enormity of the simple tenets offered in today's show. Hold them.Play with them.Allow them.Just for today, a minute...three minutes. An hour. Whatever.I offer it to you like a ruby red apple made of...ruby. Like love. It's simple. It's easy to carry. And it may not feel like enough for you. But it can be.If all this is feeling a bit mysterious and esoteric....take the 8 or so minutes to listen and see for yourself.The next episode of Powerful BE-Longing will drop on September 23, 2022. See you then, beautiful soul!Here's where to reach out:Instagram at Lisa_HatlestadFacebook at Lisa HatlestadEmail at [email protected]

On this week's episode, we return to the stew pot for a chat about identity. crisis, whether you know it as a mid-life crisis (mid life is NOT the only time these crises can happen), "the river of misery," being "person soup," or simply "what the FUCK is happening to me?"Picking up on the kettle of boiling soup metaphor from last week, I unpack some of the "why" behind the pain (and therefore sense os crisis) of such times in our lives, and how we can help this process....and note, I'm not talking about prematurely shortening it or bypassing it....by harnessing our ability to let go.I invite you in to this process, and next week, we'll take a much deeper look into letting go - releasing - trusting....if that makes your spine shiver (with dread or doubt), I get it. But hang in here with me...and with your beautiful self.And hey - if you have questions; if this episode sparked something within you, your questions and insights and shares are welcomed and deeply honored.

Today's episode is all about being boiled alive, and as gruesome as that sounds, it's something we go through many times in our lives. It the pain of identity shifting when we are losing something that has been super important to our ego-ic self, but is imprisoning our actual self. Our soul.So, bring some ice water along for the ride and...enjoy. Poem read on today's show: Chickpea to CookRumi – Translated by Coleman BarksResonate with the episode?

Pretty much every story arc of the myths and fairy tales and stories most loved by humanity starts with the idealistic innocent - the one who operates by the principals of simplicity - and this isn’t wrong or bad, it just is, because we ALL start here. The Innocent then goes on a quest where every single one of those simple principals is challenged. At the end of the story arc, the innocent has reached their nirvana, but they have changed. They’re more. They have greater perspective, nuanced understanding that helps them go on the next quest, because there’s always a next. Part of that expansion and change is the integration of the orphan archetype, which shows up in times of betrayal. We don't go back to being completely innocent and "clueless" like we were before the journey began, yet we are able to embrace a trust in ourselves and lives that ready us for the next journey. We NEED our innocence, and we also need the experienced wariness the orphan brings to our lives. They are integral parts of our growth through our human lives, and both offer unique gifts that work together when we're aware of these energies and not being driven by their shadows.Join me today for a 101 on these two archetypes and how they're interwoven, and then...sink into the complex relationship between YOUR Innocent and Orphan. Where and how do they show up? What gifts can you find in them to ready you for what ever is next in your life's journey?In my mostly weekly email, the Sunday Muse, I'm unpacking even more on the themes of betrayal (the Fall) the Innocent (The Fool) and the Orphan (The Exiled), so if you love today's show and aren't yet subscribed to Sunday Muse, sign up here.Let's connect here:Instagram at Lisa_HatlestadFacebook at Lisa HatlestadEmail at [email protected]
