Changeable Podcast

Joy Elohim is a Change Coach who works with people around grief. Although that might sound depressing, it’s not at all depressing for Joy. She loves it, because grief isn’t depressing to Joy. Grief is a beautiful expression of love and life. I love how Joy describes the aliveness in grief. The way that everything is a little more pronounced, a little more sensitive or vibrant or…something, when we’re feeling the strong energy of grief. It’s not much different at all from the vibrant, alive feeling of being in love. Perhaps the only difference between love and grief is our stories and expectations?I hope this conversation with Joy helps you see the safety, perfection, and beauty in grief.To see more about Joy and her work, visit:  https://www.realchangementoring.com/grief-guide/***If you’d like to check out the brand new, self-study version of The Little School of Big Change, check it out here: https://dramyjohnson.com/lsbc-self-study/And for the brand new, self-study version of my Change Coach Training, check that out here: https://dramyjohnson.com/change-coach-training-the-home-study-course/The post EP151: A Fine Line Between Grief and Joy with Joy Elohim appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.

Have you noticed how people often qualify what they want with their “terms”?  They want to be happy, or have a nice relationship, or have fulfilling work, but only “on their terms”. It has to show up a certain way–a way that our mind surely made up–in order for it to be okay.“On my terms” is nothing but an incredibly limiting thought. We tend to cling to our terms out of fear. Fear that life doesn’t have our back. Fear that if we don’t specify the terms, who knows what we might get.But what if our specifying, and clinging to our terms, makes things harder? What if scrambling to manifest “our terms” doesn’t always benefit us?What if life’s terms are perfect for us?***If you’d like to check out the brand new, self-study version of The Little School of Big Change, check it out here: https://dramyjohnson.com/lsbc-self-study/And for the brand new, self-study version of my Change Coach Training, check that out here: https://dramyjohnson.com/change-coach-training-the-home-study-course/ The post EP150: On My Terms appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.

Dorothy had been working with individuals and organizations to help them manage stress and avoid burnout for many years. Then, stress and burnout hit her. Hard. She went through a period of time when she would wake up completely exhausted. She hated to be awake. Stress, exhaustion, and hopelessness were her new norm. Then, she came across the New Paradigm and things began to shift. The shifts happened gradually and also sometimes suddenly. She deeply heard that in low levels of consciousness, it’s unwise to trust your thinking. Dorothy began to wake up to just how much unhelpful thinking she had been experiencing and believing. Dorothy’s life changed, and her work obviously changed. Stress and burnout look completely different to her now. If you’d like to learn more about Dorothy and her online course, Turn Your Stress Into Success, beginning June 1st, go here: www.dorothymartin.com***If you’d like to check out the brand new, self-study version of The Little School of Big Change, check it out here: https://dramyjohnson.com/lsbc-self-study/And for the brand new, self-study version of my Change Coach Training, check that out here: https://dramyjohnson.com/change-coach-training-the-home-study-course/ The post EP149: Burnout to Buoyancy with Dorothy Martin appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.

Your brain is a fancy computer, always making predictions in order to keep you physically alive. To support its prediction making, it makes up causal models to try to explain how life works. If this, then that. If x, then y.Which is fine, except those causal models aren’t accurate. And we often take them as truth.In this episode, you’ll see how “But I did all the right things!” is one of the many battle cries that shows you that your brain made up an If this, then that formula that you may be buying into as true and accurate. I’ll share examples of how my brain, and other brains, have created these causal formulas based on nothing but guesses from the past. The more we see that this is happening, the less we’re at the mercy of it. ***If you’d like to check out the brand new, self-study version of The Little School of Big Change, check it out here: https://dramyjohnson.com/lsbc-self-study/And for the brand new, self-study version of my Change Coach Training, check that out here: https://dramyjohnson.com/change-coach-training-the-home-study-course/The post EP148: If This, Then That appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.

Matt Dixon of Purple Patch Fitness coaches athletes, business leaders, and others to their absolute highest level of performance.  Like all competitors, Matt loves winning. But his coaching is not about that. It’s about taking people on a journey where they get to wake up to what’s possible for them, which impacts every aspect of life.Matt has an inside-out approach to coaching high performers that involves helping them keep doubt and obstacles very fluid, so that their deepest potential gets to shine through. And what he’s doing is working. Matt has coached hundreds of world champion qualifiers, pro and world champions. In this episode, we talked about failure, resilience, and how he uses the term change-able. We talked about the equation performance = potential – interference, and how he takes the seriousness out of things to help his clients have their best possible performance. You can see more about Matt’s coaching and Purple Patch Fitness here: https://www.purplepatchfitness.com/***If you’d like to check out the brand new, self-study version of The Little School of Big Change, check it out here: https://dramyjohnson.com/lsbc-self-study/And for the brand new, self-study version of my Change Coach Training, check that out here: https://dramyjohnson.com/change-coach-training-the-home-study-course/The post EP147: High Performance from Within with Matt Dixon appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.

Jamie Sellers is a magician. He has also been sharing the New Paradigm with adults and young people, in psychiatric hospitals and other in- and out-patient settings, for over 20 years. Jamie says that doing magic for his patients in the psychiatric hospitals proved to him that innate health was true. He could take any group of people with any diagnoses and do some magic for them. He says that within three minutes, everyone is exactly the same. Magic helps them fall out of their habitual thinking and it reveals their wonder, humor, curiosity, and health, all fully intact. Enjoy this conversation about magic tricks, innate health, illusions, and so much more with Jamie Sellers.See more about Jamie here: http://www.innatehealth.solutions***If you’d like to check out the brand new, self-study version of The Little School of Big Change, check it out here: https://dramyjohnson.com/lsbc-self-study/ And for the brand new, self-study version of my Change Coach Training, check that out here: https://dramyjohnson.com/change-coach-training-the-home-study-course/The post EP146: How Innate Health was Revealed through Magic with Jamie Sellers appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.

This is a conversation I’ve been wanting to have for a while. First, with Sharon Strimling. I’ve been aware of her for a few years and we’ve never had the opportunity to connect until recently. But also about what it truly looks and feels like to wake up to that space beyond our psychology when we’ve been through years of trauma. Of course, feeling that space of health and freedom beyond experience comes up all the time. Every episode of Changeable explores this in its own way.But this one feels a bit different. Sharon talks about the messy perfection of life and how it is now, and has been for her, as she went from “working on herself” full time, to letting life move her toward health and healing. I absolutely love how Sharon talks about the ups and downs of life and how she navigates them now. I know you’ll hear so much depth and peace in this conversation.You can see more about Sharon and her coaching here: sharonstrimling.comAnd if you’d like to talk with Sharon (and some other great facilitators) for free, check out  Heartfelt Presence: https://heartfeltpresence.org/ You can get support anytime from volunteer facilitators, including Sharon. ***If you’d like to check out the brand new, self-study version of The Little School of Big Change, check it out here: https://dramyjohnson.com/lsbc-self-study/And for the brand new, self-study version of my Change Coach Training, check that out here: https://dramyjohnson.com/change-coach-training-the-home-study-course/ The post EP145: Realizing Health through Trauma with Sharon Strimling appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.

The inspiration for this episode is a Biblical quote retold in Moshe Gersht’s book It’s All The Same To Me.  “In the beginning there was one voice. Then there were two. Now there is one. Our first step is to, at the very least, return back to hearing two voices.” The voices are said to be the voice of the soul and the voice of the ego. I’ll discuss moving from hearing only the voice of the soul, to only the voice of ego, back to two voices, in this episode. I’ll also read an excerpt from my upcoming book, Just a Thought: A No-Willpower Approach to Overcome Self-Doubt and Make Peace with Your Mind, that relates to this idea. ***If you’d like to check out the brand new, self-study version of The Little School of Big Change, check it out here: https://dramyjohnson.com/lsbc-self-study/And for the brand new, self-study version of my Change Coach Training, check that out here: https://dramyjohnson.com/change-coach-training-the-home-study-course/The post EP144: I Forgot! appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.

Moshe Gersht is the author of It’s All the Same to Me, a book about the equanimity we discover beyond our mind’s ideas of how life should go.  This kind of equanimity or “sameness” is the exact opposite of dull, boring, or cookie-cutter. When we sense our shared oneness, the light in all things, as Moshe describes it, we see ourselves being lived. “It’s all the same to me” because it’s all amazing, full of wonder, joy and creativity. Only minds produce boredom or dullness. Our nature is creativity and action; we discover those beyond the surface appearance of things. In this conversation, we discuss Moshe’s past as a rock star and how an inner nudge took him away from the music industry at age 20.We discuss his definition of a problem, simply as something that doesn’t go according to our plan (isn’t that the truth?!).We discuss his view of what feelings show us, how equanimity plays with intentions and plans, and so much more. I know you’ll love Moshe after hearing this conversation.

Katherine went through a boatload of anxiety, depression, and intrusive thoughts after the birth of her daughter a few years ago.  For as hard as that time in her life was, it’s incredible to hear how it all looks to her now. Katherine discovered her resilience through this hard, scary time. She’s come to see more about her nature beyond her experience; she knows that’s where peace lies, not in escaping or avoiding any specific thoughts or feelings. Katherine has a deep sense of how we work and she still feels anxious and has intrusive thoughts at times. She knows that’s okay.She has an amazing blog that I highly recommend checking out. It’s so good: https://www.lightheartmom.com/Enjoy this conversation with Katherine!***If you’d like to check out the brand new, self-study version of The Little School of Big Change, check it out here: https://dramyjohnson.com/lsbc-self-study/And for the brand new, self-study version of my Change Coach Training, check that out here: https://dramyjohnson.com/change-coach-training-the-home-study-course/The post EP142: Katherine’s Change Story: Intrusive Thoughts and Postpartum Anxiety appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.
