  • EP188: Positive Words = Positive Attraction
    May 2 2024

    Every time you affirm an idea, a dream or a wish that you hold in your heart, it sends out a vibration that brings that intention closer to you. This episode talks about how your positive words attract positive change and results.

    I remember reading books that reinforce how powerful our words are. Words ripple through the universe, sending different signals about what we want to attract in our lives. Naturally, this book resonated with me since I already believe in the power of manifestation. To me, positive words bring about positive changes that overflow into all areas of life.

    I’m here to spend quality solo time with you for EP188’s Wise Walk as we discover our True Stride. There’s been different situations in my life recently that are coming up and are reinforcing this idea of positive words. It’s a chance to reshape how we speak so we’re intentionally giving energy to positive results.

    On our Wise Walk, we discuss how your positive words attract positive results. You deserve to honor what you know to be true for yourself without feeling pressured to pacify others. Come with me as we reflect on these Wise Walk questions:

    • How are you using words to attract what you are seeking right now?

    • Do you find yourself in a negative headspace where you say things you don’t want but are attracting them?

    • Are you able to shift your energy into the positive and affirm what you do want?

    • Are you taking time to acknowledge the internal beliefs you hold about what’s acceptable in your life?

    • As you reflect on this past week, how many times have you agreed to do something to humor someone even when it didn’t feel aligned for you?

    • As you did that thing, what did your heart say to you and how did you feel?

    • Is that a feeling you want to keep attracting in your life?

    • What was your big takeaway from living in this unaligned situation?

    I invite you to think about your words and what signals they’re sending out. Think of how the universe is receiving and interpreting what you share.

    Positively attract all the good that’s already seeking you. Create more space for your intuition with these Wise Walk questions:

    • Where can you create more space for you to honor your intuition?

    • How can you step into your authentic power to affirm and encourage what you do want to see in life?

    • Where are we putting our energy?

    • How can we bring our most important intentions to the forefront of our focus?

    • What are you looking forward to the most and how can you clearly articulate that for manifestation?

    • What positive words support the positive changes you seek?

    • Can you share your positive intentions with the support system around you?

  • EP187: Step into YOUR Power
    Apr 25 2024

    Life changes come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. You get to stand in your power when you’re met with a chance to reinforce what is aligned with you. This episode talks about how to step into your power.

    One of my most favorite things about coaching is seeing the shift in others as they really own their authentic power. I love when people own who they are and what lights them up. Witnessing their self-acceptance and growth gives me immense joy and an overwhelming sense of purpose.

    I’m here to spend quality solo time with you for EP187’s Wise Walk as we discover our True Stride. You benefit every time you realize something isn’t aligned and consciously decide to find what is. It’s your own form of course correction and how you fully realize your True Stride.

    On our Wise Walk, we discuss stepping into your power. Let’s prioritize alignment and staying true to what matters. Come with me as we reflect on these Wise Walk questions:

    • When was the last time you felt fully alive and fully yourself?

    • During that time, what made you feel most alive as you interacted with the world?

    • Is stepping into your power important to you?

    • Is there something in your life that’s been weighing you down?

    • Did you once envision a future with that thing, then realized that it is no longer the path that you’re on?

    • Is this robbing you of some of your power and preventing you from being present?

    • What are ways you can release what’s weighing you down?

    • How can you create momentum so you can make peace with your new reality?

    • How can you accept where you are now, and choose where you want to go?

    When faced with a choice to be authentic, bring awareness to who you’re being and the direction you’re headed. If the choice puts you in a new space, absorb and accept the new reality you create for yourself.

    Step into your power by acknowledging changes and your decision on how to engage those changes. Maintain your authentic self with these Wise Walk questions:

    • When you enter a new situation, are you focused on who you are and what you have to offer in that moment?

    • Do you ever catch yourself criticizing who you are in these moments?

    • Can you shift your energy and focus?

    • Can you improve your self-talk?

    • What are you doing to cultivate and accept your power?

    • What are you doing to increase your awareness?

    • Can you give yourself kudos when you do embrace your power?

    • Can you share your experience with someone else to reinforce how aligned you are?

  • EP186: Know Your Limits
    Apr 18 2024

    Let’s say you find yourself at an unexpected moment where things just feel out of alignment. Are you willing to speak up or walk away? This episode talks about why healthy boundaries are important and what it means to know your limits.

    I believe everything happens for a reason and life sends us signs. This week I had various conversations with different circles of friends, yet one of the common themes was this idea of setting healthy boundaries. The conversations reminded me of a phrase my aunt and I have used for decades: “I can stay in a situation as long as I know I can go.”

    I’m here to spend quality solo time with you for EP186’s Wise Walk as we discover our True Stride. It’s important to be aware of when we’re out of alignment and know ways to make plans and take action for what we want. This is to protect and honor our individuality and what does align with us.

    On our Wise Walk, we discuss knowing your limits so you can set healthy boundaries for yourself. Your feelings are valued and you can honor them without encroaching on others. Come with me as we reflect on these Wise Walk questions:

    • Where in your life do you feel out of alignment?

    • Do you notice how being out of alignment makes you feel?

    • Are you aware of how to create healthy boundaries?

    • Have you ever needed to create a PLAN B to deal with an unaligned situation?

    • Do you know your exit strategy for when things feel unaligned or someone crosses a line for you?

    You deserve to feel safe. Your healthy boundaries deserve to be honored whether they are emotional, intellectual, physical, financial, or sexual.

    It’s our responsibility to speak up and know our limits. Stay true to your healthy boundaries with these Wise Walk questions:

    • Do you honor your well being?

    • Do you know your limits?

    • Do you make an effort to ensure a safe space for yourself?

    • Do you give yourself permission to choose again?
