Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff with Kristine Carlson

Whether it’s due to a relocation to a new city, or a divorce, or even just the lifestyle change that comes with parenthood, a time may come in our adult lives that we have to make new friends! Connecting with new people isn’t always easy as it seemed in elementary school - it requires us to drop our guard, open our hearts, and take initiative. Talk about vulnerability, right? Kris shares some tried-and-true strategies for meeting new friends at any age.

When we feel stuck in our lives, it can be tough to know what our next step should be. By learning to use what excites us as our guide, we tap into our innate gifts and talents.  When we LOVE what we do, we feel energized and can be of service to others at our highest level! Listen in to our new podcast episode here, and learn how to honor your life’s purpose.   

It’s normal to want to step back - or even run - when we feel scared. In fact, this is an evolutionary mechanism that has ensured our survival since the beginning of time.  But what about the emotional fears we may face from time to time? Kris explains how to identify our emotional fears, and how we can lean into them instead of running away.  Discover the FREEDOM awaiting you on the other side of your fear!  

In one of our most popular episodes, Kris shares how the way we see the world is simply a reflection of what is going on inside of us.  Kris explains how we can take a step back from our world view - whether it’s how we see our work, our romantic partner, and even our pets - and learn to see everything as a mirror of our thoughts and our emotional state.  By building this level of awareness, we develop the ability to respond to life as it unfolds (versus reacting) and can begin to change it for the better.

Do you ever feel like your days become a long list of things that need to get done?  While being productive is an essential part of living a healthy, well-managed life, learning to slow down and simply be is a great tool that helps us access our inner happiness and peak creativity.  Once you learn to harmonize the two states, you’ll find yourself in flow more often… and you might even find that your to-do list becomes a lot more effortless. 

This is the third episode in the series answering, "What is Wholeness?" Kris shares what it means to be a sovereign being..self governing and fully confident while living authentically according to your values.  It's a powerful place to engage in life--making your first love--the love of life.

All healthy relationships need to have boundaries. Clear boundaries give us a safe space from which we can give and receive to the relationship in a balanced way. Establishing healthy boundaries opens up the gates of communication and allows us to enjoy one another without resentment. To define your own healthy boundaries, we need to get tuned into our own feelings.  In this new episode, Kris explains how to set new boundaries to bring you back to harmony and peace.
