Sometimes in the realm of personal development, we can feel like we're failing if we don't think that we're continually moving forward. Or perhaps, you may feel guilty for not being constantly productive.You may even feel that you have to push through the hardships in your life without the space to rest and look after yourself. Today we parse out the validity of these messages and see if you can offload some of the unnecessary pressure you may be carrying.We take a look at the complexities that your day-to-day may bring. I think it's so important to be mindful of your own unique personhood and circumstances, as well as to look after yourself in holistic ways. I am sending you my warmest wishes and so much support for whatever might be going on for you in these moments and days.Ways to connect with Sas (she/her):Instagram: @lori_saseSign up for her newsletter or find out about coaching: https://www.lorisase.comEmail: [email protected]

In recent episodes, we've been posing some existential questions. We've also asked you to ponder how you might live your life in ways that are even more in alignment with the things that matter to you. However, amidst busy schedules and a constant access to information (as wonderful as that can be), it may be difficult to hear the stillness of your own opinions and needs. Today, we talk about the importance of really listening to yourself - to deeply know what you think and feel. We can accidentally pass over our own inner knowing.  We discuss some simple ways to allow your inner intelligence to reveal itself.

Today we focus in on the voices that can run through our heads - whether they are critical, self-doubting, accusatory, or maybe one comment that was spoken to you long ago. This kind of "self-talk" can take up residence and can keep you from doing things you love or being who you truly are. Sometimes these voices have been riding along for so long that you don't even question their validity. But are these voices even true? Today we talk about the origin of this kind of self-talk, how to question the truth of this internal dialogue, and begin the devotional process of detangling them from your life. Raphaela Browne is back to co-host today. She drops the gems, per usual. We so appreciate you joining this conversation.Ways to connect with Raphaela Browne (she/her):LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/raphaelabrowneWebsite: https://raphaelabrowne.com/Email: [email protected]: @raphaelabrowneWays to connect with Sas (she/her):Instagram: @lori_saseSign up for her newsletter or find out about coaching: https://www.lorisase.comEmail: [email protected]

Why are you so hard on yourself? I ask that kindly, but does that resonate for you? Do you ever find that your routines feel exhausting or are a little bleaker than what you'd imagine for your life? This is a two-part conversation, and today we focus on when you are compelled to "go at things hard" - not "hard" in a great or healthy way but rather when it depletes you or causes an imbalance in your life. We feel that it's important to parse out, because there may be something deeper at the root that can ride along unnoticed or may be hard to discern. The very wonderful Raphaela Browne is back to co-host. Together we discuss the layers and the facets along with how to bring ourselves more into alignment with what we value in life.

Today Alison Scott and I continue our conversation from last week. We discuss the relatable  feelings of overwhelm that can come when your pursuits or circumstances seem hard. Our conversation today is meant to offer companionship and shared insight and to  safeguard your passions, projects, voice, priorities, creativity, contributions etc. Sometimes there are also factors outside of our control. Today we consider the complexities of those situations while also protecting your choices and your personhood. Perhaps it's in those moments that we become even more resilient and creative than we know we could be.

What do you do when you want to quit? Today, Alison Scott and I reflect, laugh and strategize on this interesting topic. Wanting to quit is a very relatable feeling in the midst of a pursuit or project. If we're not careful though, it can be very isolating, and it might start to garner more power and wrongful messaging than it should.Today we talk about how to listen to what is needed in this space, rather than letting those thoughts spiral or allowing them to mean something that isn't true.It's so important that we are protective over your passions, pursuits, talents and voice.About Alison M.
