How Do I Quiet My Noisy Mind?

In this episode, we discuss a question from a listener who asks, 'How do you deal with impulses or distracting thoughts when trying to be present, journal, or meditate?'"
You know when you’re in a work flow and your mind tells you to check your phone? Or something doesn’t go well and you assume yourself a failure? We discuss several ways to break the cycle of getting sucked in by your thoughts, such as:
Becoming the Observer: Recognizing ourselves as observers, separate from thoughts.
Acceptance: Understanding that thoughts aren't inherently bad; resistance hooks us.
Understanding the Difference: Distinguishing between experiencing and thinking.
Isolation: Recognizing thoughts and impulses as separate.
Being Present: Accepting ever-present thoughts, and learning to keep them at arm's length.
This excellent question created the space for us to discuss this extremely important question - one of understanding that will deliver us to inner peace and happiness.

An End Of Year Reflection

In this episode Daisy and Sophie reflect on an impactful year of change, challenge and healing. This has been a year of taking the next step, feeling terrified all the while. We've continued to show up, ask the hard questions, take accountability, and find answers within ourselves.
This episode is a healthy reminder that change happens when you are ready to sit within the discomfort of uncertainty and trust that you will figure it out despite not yet “having” the answers. 
Join us for an inspiring conversation to remind you that you are whole and complete without the accomplishment of any new years resolutions, and the real, sustainable change begins when you are ready to face the challenges head-on and take accountability for your life in this exact moment.

How Do I Set Healthy Boundaries With My Partner?

In this community series episode, we address a question from a listener who is looking to set boundaries with their partner after recently moving in together. A few notable take-aways are the following:
Take accountability for your own growth so you know your needs and dislikes and can communicate these to your partner before resentment forms.
Create an intentional space to have the hard conversations early on with your partner to cultivate a safe and comfortable environment to coexist in.
Avoid relying on your partner to make you happy; instead, take accountability for cultivating your own happiness, in doing so you can show up for your partners out of love and not out of need.
Maintain alone time to preserve your sense of independence and separateness.
Ultimately, we end on the reflection that relationships can be an incredible opportunity to learn about ourselves, especially when we have the difficult conversations and work through our insecurities in the process of voicing our needs.

Why Do We Live in Constant Anxiety?

In this episode, we cover a variety of topics in a thought-provoking conversation, with a key takeaway: healing and growth are anything but linear.
Here's what we discuss:
You can't look for happiness in the future without looking for it in this moment
Sitting through uncomfortable emotions offers valuable insight and perspective
Healing is on ongoing process
Our fears about the future are often distorted and overblown.
You can separate yourself from your anxiety and stress - you are not your thoughts.
Many of our fears are rooted in the fear of death.
