Capacity is viewed by Miranda Lee as a currency, something we are responsible for honoring, protecting, growing and building resilience with.

After experiencing hard chapters, living with expectations of self that led to burnout, and then recovering from it...she now using her experiences to help build her own 'instruction manual' on her capacity and how she takes care of herself.

Topics:

• Defining & Redefining Capacity- Changing the lense from our value and purpose being our productivity and capacity, and instead learning what it really means
• Creating Balance- Finding compassion and understanding of what is really in the 'in between' of full go mode and allowing rest and a 'full cup'
• Understanding the Feelings- Connecting with what aspects of health we hold the most capacity, the least, and how it feels when we are at either end of the bandwidth.
• Learning the Senses, Signals and Changes in Action/Behaviour- Understanding the physical sensation, what the mind and emotions show us, the changes in our behaviour, mannerisms and more that tell us where our capacity levels are
• The Different Seasons & the Demands they Require- A discussion on the aspects and demands in various season from 'Hustle', 'Running a Marathon', 'The Last Minute Trip', Burnout, and Recovery
• Power of Anticipating & Planning- The benefits of roadmapping your life, taking inventory of what ahead, and plotting seasons of recovery
• Building & Growing Capacity- The individual responsibility we all have to build our strength and resilience, as well as use our voice to protect our capacity and our ability to show up
• Navigating the Unseen Chapters- Tips on how to move through the inevitable and unpredictable seasons of higher capacity demands or challenges
• Building a Toolbelt- Build it, get familiar with it, and use it (and not only when things get hard or stretch you thin)
• Asking & Accepting Help- Not just during the fatigue, but when things are also going really well, and how we all need to invite help in.

Another beautiful story of strength, vulnerability, and accepting the path before us.

An emotional sit down with a dear friend, about her journey with loving a partner with addiction, losing herself trying to save the relationship, and what happened when she finally realized she was worthy of her own love.

Topics:

• Prioritizing Everyone Else- the hard wiring for so many people, when we want to help and prioritize everyone else first and then somewhere along the line lose ourselves. And you just can't pour from any empty cup or teach our kids that this is okay
• Navigating and healing the blame, guilt and shame with a relationship of over 20 years ends due to addiction
• Control and Independence- how they can be/are our protectors, and how its not sustainable and needs to be unravelled after hard chapters where we lean into this
• Redefining what Matters- 'I can make more money, but I can't make more time'; how relearning success and redefining what really fuckin matters allows you to create space for yourself to find your peace
• Ebs and Flows- the absolute necessity to unlearn that we must always be good, and normalizing that life just had harder seasons and thats okay
• Breaking the Cycle- how incredible doing our own work, navigating the really hard shit, and coming out the other side (especially in-front of our children) really does heal pieces for them and end lineage cycles
• Relationships in Adulthood- being with someone who is also growing along side you, finding safety in a healthy relationship, and how things change in when you have done your work
• Aging Peacefully- when the lens changes in life, the things that you really need are easy, and you truly understand that life is a blessing and the beauty of being boring
• Everything ends- how things come into your life, and leave (on purpose) because that is just how things are intended to be, and how we must trust that process
• What the Body Holds- the importance of finding balance in how we care for self, expect of self, and meet self, including acknowledging our coping mechanisms and allowing change without it impacting your worth.
